Marlon Blackwell discusses his architecture and design process, emphasizing projects in the public and civic realm, emerging from outside the established centers of architectural culture. His firm’s award-winning designs span across typologies, scales, and budgets, and merge the universal language of architecture with the particulars of place. The title of his talk (and of a new monograph) speaks to a core principle at the heart of the practice, radical in its fundamental simplicity: a constant focus on the authentic in the making of buildings and places.
