Architects Kevin Carmody and Andy Groarke discuss the cultural depth of architectural surfaces in episode 78 of Scaffold
"This idea of thinness [of surfaces] has to do with pragmatism and thrift, but it's also a contemporary challenge of buildings – now that we've disassembled the monolithic way of traditional construction we have to consider the making of walls in a different way, and yet we enjoy that discipline of making the most with the least."
