Oxford and Architecture : The Theology Pugcast Episode 300

After a week at Oxford, surrounded by some of the best buildings to be found anywhere in the world when it comes to higher education, the Pugs discuss architecture on today's brief episode. "Why does beauty matter?" and “Why are all the science buildings ugly?” are among a host of questions addressed. Tune in as the guys long for a world that builds things the way they used to.

Can't wait to listen to this one! Pugcast architecture episodes are a special treat for me.

Enjoyed this conversation. It reminds me of Francis Schaefer’s writings on beauty.

I would like to hear more about the stories of the Norwegian door hinges.

Beautiful things are still made they just end up in private homes. You can hire blacksmiths, you can have things cast in bronze etc. Today only small features have a chance to make it into a public building.

modern architecture displays contempt for the divine image, and for the communities and cultures they form.
