A is for Architecture Podcast Alan Dickson: Authentic vernaculars in rural Scotland.
Episode 37/2 of A is for Architecture is a conversation with Alan Dickson, co-founder and director of Rural Design, an acclaimed and innovative architecture practice based on the Isle of Skye, Scotland. Rural Design’s work is characterised by a reappropriation of vernacular forms and construction traditions, which is both contemporary and contextually embedded.
Have a listen and a look around.
Rural Design’s website is a good one, and they are on Twitter and Instagram. You can see their work on Dezeen, ArchDaily, in the AJ, and a lot of other places too. The Rural House scheme we spoke about can be found here. I first met Alan in 2012 when he came to the Glasgow School of Art to give a lecture, which you can watch on Vimeo here.
Available on Spotify, iTunes, Google Podcasts and Amazon Music.
Thanks for listening.
