MENGENAI EPISOD INI
In which Lit Bits (Adam ‘Lit’ Smyth and James ‘Bits’ Kidd) are joined by Steve Rose Esq., Guardian film critic and man of buildings. Some 40 minutes of musings on books and buildings —the links and differences— not excluding with some matters concerning to: impossible buildings, the language of architecture and literature, the relationship between reading a book and walking a city, the lusty symbolism of the brick, and how to enter a building.
Other questions include. What exactly is a Rem Koolhaas? What do architects and writers have in common? What happened when Adam went to an exhibition of Joe Orton and Kenneth Halliwell's defaced library books? How do you preserve buildings and for that matter books?
One trigger warning alert. There is some discussion of Andrew Motion and a reading of one of his poems, which was projected onto a building in Sheffield. Listener discretion advised.
The pleasant history then draws to a conclusion. Regrets are few as the fellows depart for an ordinary or inn.
