Listen "Architecture Across the Atlantic"
Episode Synopsis
Episode 11: Architecture Across the AtlanticHello OPA Ora!! In their FIRST MINI EPISODE (well, not-so-mini mini episode), Foti and Fotini dive into the quirks, beauties, and critiques of architecture across Greece, the U.S., and beyond. From the charm of Spanish-style roofs to the slippery Greek asphalt, they explore how climate, culture, and history shape the buildings locals know and love, and how Google Maps can lead you straight into a cliffside nightmare. Be prepared to learn why Greek streets are slippery, and New Jersey houses are pink. Also expect to learn more than just architecture, like Italian influences, the rare Italo-Greek dialect, and even Fotini’s attempt at sounding intellectual by sneaking in Brutalism to the conversation – until Foti didn’t know what she was TAWKIN about (listen until the end to understand).Q&A to answer in the comments:What is your favorite architectural feature of your own home country?
