On this week's show, our Urbanist Hanoi colleague shares what life in the capital was like during the peak of Vietnam's coronavirus outbreak in February and March, and how daily life has recovered over the last several weeks. Then, architect Mel Schenck becomes our first repeat guest after his appearance on our third episode ages ago. We discuss his new book, 'Southern Vietnam Modernist Architecture,' and how appreciation of this style has changed over the last few years. The book is available at Fahasa and other major bookstores in Vietnam, or through Barnes & Noble overseas: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/southern-vietnamese-modernist-architecture-mel-schenck/1136864951?ean=9780578516585 For more on modernist architecture in Vietnam: https://www.facebook.com/groups/VietnameseModernistArchitecture/ As always, we end with Bánh Mì Banter.
