Two Point Perspective podcast
Stories of buildings told from different points of view, with Kieran McInerney as the architecture enthusiast and Rebecca Hawcroft as the history buff.
The dynamic diagonals of the two-point perspective made this the preferred drawing technique of Russian Constructivist architecture. It is this tension between different perspectives that the Two Point Perspective podcast is interested in.
