Roman Concrete & Aesthetic Eras


Listen Later

Join myself and John Luna—teacher, artist, writer, and scholar—in exploring:

Roman concrete: what's responsible for the disappearance of Roman concrete in Europe after the fall of the Roman Empire? Shadowy cabals? A misplaced recipe? The arrival of a superior alternative? Was one of humanity's most advanced technologies really forgotten?

And,

Shifts in aesthetic trends over delineated eras: is the pace decreasing? Is the Western world today more immediately recognizable to denizens of the 1980s than the world of the 1980s was to natives of the 1940s? Just how might AI and the Internet factor into all this?
