Katie Lloyd Thomas: Architects, builders, specifications
About this episode
Episode 20, Series 3 of A is for Architecture, is a discussion with Katie Lloyd Thomas, Professor of Architectural History and Theory at Newcastle University, about her 2021 book, Building Materials: Material Theory and the Architectural Specification, published by Bloomsbury. The book ‘offers a radical rethink of how materials, as they are constituted in architectural practice, are themselves constructed and […] uncovers [in the construction specification] a vast and neglected resource of architectural writing’.
Katie can be found professionally here, and socially here. The Production Studies 2024 conference can be found here, and is still open for attendees.
Available on Spotify, iTunes, Google Podcasts and Amazon Music.
