But for Banchini, he is less interested in the natural environment. To Ishigami's explanation of normalcy, I find his alignment between the three to be about the simplicity and empowerment that comes from simple construction technique. To put something together simply implies a certain degree of normalcy. Instead of some super delicate and complicate Japanese joint, the simple nail joint with 2x4 wood strips are often overlooked and unvalued, but Banchini values that. His "neo-vernacular" in its essence is also trying to dissolve in the normalcy of the world. To return architecture from its exclusive and superior intellectual properties into something that much more primitive, intuitive - democratic. And sometimes because of that the product is deemed fragile and reduced, but in its own beauty. To that, I find myself aligning with his ideology, although somethings his work is quite ugly and mundane to me.
