Joining the Dots: Nature, History & Craft [Pt1] - Sally Coulthard - BS105

Prepare to be enlightened as we enter the captivating world of sustainability and crafting with best-selling author and countryside expert, Sally Coulthard. Sally breaks the mould with her diverse interests, sharing her journey from her first book about organic living to her exploration of the intersection of people, history, and nature. Let Sally inspire you with her love for practical interests and her belief in the value of being open to learning new skills and absorbing new information.

We talk about the loss of craftsmanship in modern buildings. We probe the reasons behind this alarming trend and evaluate the impact of the cost of labor and capitalism on the artistry in today's architecture. We also look at the Poundbury experiment and how it reiterates the importance of creating pleasant spaces - a value we seem to have forgotten. Join us on this enlightening journey as we shed light on the various facets of our built environment.

So, why wait? Join us on this captivating exploration of the intimate relationship between us, our surroundings, and the natural world.
