Past, Present, Future: Rethinking Vernacular Architecture with Professor Marcel Vellinga
In this episode of Oxford Brookes Unscripted Podcast Series, Professor Marcel Vellinga takes us on a fascinating journey into the world of vernacular architecture - buildings created by communities for their own needs, often without formal architects. He explains why these structures are much more than quaint relics; they embodied cultural identity, social values and sustainable design long before the term became popular. Marcel also explores how new technologies, climate change and the push to decolonise architectural discourse are reshaping our understanding of what architecture is - and who gets to define it.
