On Wednesday, I attended a lecture by Tom Kundig at the New York Public Library. He recently published his second book called Houses 2, featuring 17 residential projects, of which two I had photographed (Montecito, CA and Sitges, Spain) and some of those pictures had been included in the book.
Admittedly, I have not attended many architecture lectures in my life but I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Tom in person and hear him talk about his background, memories and references that have informed his work. Surprisingly down to earth and accessible human being. What a cool guy! He even managed to get me interested in hot rods (had to be there…).
