Brigitte Shim, the distinguished guests for CriticalMASS this year embodies this symbolism I speak of in her work. She is conscientious of local materials, culture, and traditions and tries to incorporate them into her projects such as the Integral House. Alvar Aalto does this in much of his architecture as well - in particular, Villa Mairea, Saynatsalo Town Hall, Muuratsalo Experimental House, and Jyvaskyla University. Alvaro Siza shows this in many of his projects too - The Tea House and Leca Swimming Pools as well as the Galician Center for Contemporary Art.
