Katie Lloyd Thomas: Architects, builders, specifications

Episode 20, Series 3 of A is for Architecture (www.aisforarchitecture.org/20...) , 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 (www.bloomsbury.com/uk/buildin...) , 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’.
