PODCAST EP 019 - MODERN - Home as Exploration

In today's CA-RD Custom Home and Architecture podcast episode, JD Carling delves into narrative-based architecture design. JD discusses that modern architecture is dead in a sense, but narrative architecture is always alive.
"Modern architecture is dead" is a striking saying. Still, the main idea is that any style scripted following hinders the ability to make a narrative-based architecture around your lifestyle, even if you adhere to modern aesthetics or ideas.
