Kim Lenschow: Each Material Tells a Story

For Kim Lenschow, each material tells a story, and the job of the architect is to make those stories available by making them part of the architecture. The expressive use of the materials is, however, not simply an aesthetic pursuit. By understanding the components of our homes and where they come from, we can gain an awareness of nature, its processes, and our impact on it.
