Threading the cross section journeys into the other paradigm in architecture and examines the values and underlying commonsense of the vernacular in shaping our built environment.  In this film the philosopher in R L Kumar, a trained accountant reflects on his attempts to build houses differently with  a passion for the earth and the  people he is working with.
