“When does an architect become an architect?” asks our host Dan Maginn. For many, the fascination with structures and materials started with toy building kits—like Lincoln Logs, created by John Lloyd Wright, son of Frank Lloyd Wright, around 1916.

The three architects in this episode still work with logs, though in three distinct, vastly creative ways that allow their buildings to harmonize with the landscape, resist weathering—and even capture the feeling of movement and the history of a place.
