Show Notes
Welcome to Episode 56! We have a fantastic group of guests for this episode. The whole team sit down at the home of Lance and Nicola Herbst to chat with them and author John Walsh about their retrospective book 'Herbst: Architecture in Context'. It's a long and detailed discussion, covering the Herbst's journey to, and attachment with Aotearoa; their design philosophy and methods; and what's next in the sketchbook for their practice. We loved the kōrero and thank our guests for their time and hospitality.
Apologies for the sound quality in this episode. We've got some new gear we're still dialing in, and some Pallasmaa-approved rain drumming on the roof. We'll improve next episode ;)
