Back to Basics: How Architecture Finds Meaning | George Seemon

In this episode, Architect George Seemon shares how material honesty, climate responsiveness, and spatial harmony, these three typologies, can transform the way we design and build. Instead of following trends, his work focuses on going back to the basics to create architecture that is human-centric, sustainable, and rooted in its environment.

Learn how to design architecture that revolves around climate, how materials can tell stories, and how architecture can adapt to minimize damage. For Seemon, architecture is functional art, starting with nothing, going back to nothing, while creating in between.

He shares about his three projects. Seemon shows how architecture can be both functional and meaningful.

Matchbox House, Tamil Nadu - Built using only site-sourced materials, crafted by local labour, and completed in just 9 months.
Malabar Gold Corporate Office, Kerala - A 2 lakh sq. ft. workspace with spines of courtyards, green roofs, solar screens, and human-centered design.
Biennale Pavilion, Kerala - A temporary exhibition space where every material was recycled, an adaptable design, and was designed to return to nature.
