## Resource

As one of the most lauded American architects practicing today, Tom Kundig and his 350-person-strong firm Olson Kundig has created inventive spaces around the globe. But Kundig himself is perhaps best known for his truly envious houses that seamlessly blend into their natural surroundings. Not only that, but these homes are case studies in the power of kinetic architecture, where expertly crafted machinery can move walls, or even entire structures. On this episode, Dan speaks with the legendary designer on growing up with a Swiss modernist father, how the so-called “gizmos” in his works came to be, his latest book from Monacelli, Tom Kundig: Complete Houses, and much more. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
