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

light, photosynthesis, as a gardener you can control this, three components, first: direction the light is coming from, second: how long does the light penetrate through window?, obstacles like over hangs and blinds can get in the way, third: light quality, glass plays into this, is the light clear?, is there a UV block or are windows tinted?, a light meter can help detect this but there are other guidelines to evaluate this, the best is in the southern or southeast window, least amount of light intensity is in the north windows, placement of plant is very important, away from window, a room that doesn't have light sometimes has reflective light, soil: compost or shredded bark, charcoal is used with air plants, for absorbent purposes, spongy moss for plants like orchids, retains moisture and drains well, roots from the royal fern, pearlite that looks like styrofoam, styrofoam peanuts when used for plants that need good drainage, also good for hiding underneath soil for potted plants, humidity of 50 to 60 percent, many homes average only 5 percent, plants absorb moisture in many ways, dry environments are bad for plants, indirect light or diffused light like the philodendron should come through partial shade, provides nutrients, Pete moss helps with moisture and structure,Sources for Your Plant's Needs (12:05)
