This week on Burning Down the House, Curtis B. Wayne has a modular-minded conversation with Joseph Tanney of Resolution: 4 Architecture. Joseph specializes in modular, panelized and sustainable prefabricated homes and explains his thinking behind this method of home-building. Find out why he sees the kitchen island as the hearth of the home, and how budget and restraint play into the role of the architect. This program was brought to you by Fairway Market.
"We consider the kitchen as the plan generator. Frank Lloyd Wright used to think of the fireplace as the hearth of the home, we think of the kitchen island as the same."
"One of the problems [architects] have is not knowing how much something will cost before we design it."
--Architect Joseph Tanney of Resolution: 4 Architecture on Burning Down the House

Katy Purviance Basic is talking about form and function on this week's installment of Burning Down the House. Curtis B. Wayne calls up Katy to chat about the role of architecture in improving life, and the problems with design school. Why does so much contemporary architecture neglect the users of the structure? Curtis and Katy talk about formalism, and how novel (but generally nonfunctional) design often leads to increased work for designers and architects. What commonalities do Christopher Alexander and Dr. Temple Grandin share? Find out on today's episode of Burning Down the House! This program has been sponsored by The Heritage Meat Shop.
"I believe, like many others, that form follows function. But when you start with form and try to stuff the function into it, you get a building that doesn't quite work." [5:30] -- Katy Purviance Basic on Burning Down the House
