About this episode
The episode explores how resort towns are designed for tourism and their impact on community and identity.
What happens when entire towns are designed as experiences? In this episode of Architectonics, Moses and Judah explore resort towns like Vail, Mammoth Lakes, and Grand Turk to examine how tourism shapes architecture, community and everyday life. Through conversations with residents, they ask a deeper question: when a place is built for visitors, can it still feel like home?
