1. Architecture Words 2
A compact collection of short essays and reflections that distill an architect’s thinking into concise observations about materiality, light, craft, scale and the relationship between buildings and their cultural and natural contexts; each entry argues for a humble, tactile approach to design that privileges local materials, sensory experience and the blurring of inside and outside, while exploring how architecture can respond to tradition, memory and ecological thinking through careful detailing, collaboration and an emphasis on human scale.
