106 _ Catherine Ingraham _ 'Architecture's Theory'
March 12, 2024 12:25 - 55 minutes - 76.7 MBToday’s conversation is with Catherine Ingraham and we're discussing her latest book, ‘Architecture’s Theory’. We each had our own experience in school when first introduced to architectural theory. Those classes were probably somewhat opaque for all of us. Even today you might read new articles and books related to theory and find yourself trying to hold onto ideas like dry sand in your hands. Over time, I’ve come to recognize that important concepts are often intrinsically unstable. ...
105 _ Christopher Schaberg _ 'Adventure'
January 30, 2024 14:13 - 53 minutes - 74 MBSometimes it’s only through repetition and time that insight into your actions are revealed. This might come about because aspects of those actions aren’t always fully intentional. When it comes to Night White Skies, I firmly believe to be routed in architecture, but I’ve heard it described by others as often drifting beyond this topic. But what I’ve come to appreciate more and more over time is the importance of a ‘hunch’. The idea that experience over time offers you the ability to see...
104 _ Vahid Vahdat and James Kerestes _ ‘Cinematic Betwixt’
November 20, 2023 01:01 - 52 minutes - 72.4 MBToday’s conversation is with Vahid Vahdat and James Kerestes about their book ‘Architecture, Film and the In-Between, Spatio Cinematic Betwixt’. Discussions about trying to give shape to an uncertain future have been a recurring topic on this program. This is in part because it seems that even the most informed people are aware of just enough to know how much they don’t know. A changing climate, an evolving human body, and ubiquitous communication networks, AI, and social justice are ju...
103 _ Aleksandra Jaeschke _ ‘Greening Codes’
October 16, 2023 00:01 - 41 minutes - 57.4 MBToday’s conversation is with Aleksandra Jaeschke about her book ‘The Greening of America’s Building Codes, Promises and Paradoxes’. There are realities we live with that are so ingrained in all aspects of our lives that we rarely think to question their origins. They are either intertwined with base economic standards or current laws and regulations and so to imagine an alternative would require not simple tweaks and updates but a fundamental restructuring of the whole system, and that’...
102 _ Dr Laura Ferrarello _ 'Design Ethics'
September 11, 2023 08:41 - 48 minutes - 66 MBToday's conversation is about the role of teaching and discussing ethics during the design process. This week's conversation is about the role of ethics during the design process. For many people, whether working in an office or academia, ethics is likely just a passing topic discussed once a year in required seminar training or ‘code of conduct’ handouts. But today we are discussing how ethics can play a role during the design process. As Dr Laura Ferrarello states, it is not about claim...
101 _ Jeffrey S. Nesbit _ ‘Nature of Enclosure’
August 21, 2023 00:01 - 49 minutes - 68.2 MBToday’s conversation is with Jeffrey Nesbit about his book ‘Nature of Enclosure’. So much of our architectural education and practice is reliant on the idea of control. Take representation for example. Without being able to quantify information about a site, materials or even people, how can we be expected to make decisions about what we ultimately build. If you can’t quantify it in a representation of some sort, how can you be expected to design with it. How can you be expected to make ...
100 _ Fred Scharmen _ 'Space Forces'
August 06, 2023 17:44 - 58 minutes - 80.4 MBToday’s conversation is with Fred Sharmen about his book ‘Space Forces’. Sometimes what you need is a little distance to get a clearer perspective on your current situation. Doing so lets you see a larger whole which often allows you to ask questions that might otherwise go unasked. This new distance might not give you any new answers to your current situation at first but just having new questions can be enough to keep you moving. When it comes to the topic of outer space, many people q...
099 _ Tools for Stories w/ Sava Zivkovic
July 25, 2023 13:24 - 38 minutes - 52.6 MBToday’s conversation is about the potential impact of new tools for video games on architecture. As architects, we have no shortage of external pressures we need to be aware of and engage. From climate change to new forms of communication technologies and social justice to name only three ...the list is long and at times overwhelming to think about. Many of these issues that we’re looking to better understand are not new, but how we tackle them today and intertwine a few of them tog...
098 _ Parson & Charlesworth _ 'Catalog for the Post-Human'
July 01, 2023 16:20 - 44 minutes - 61.1 MBThis week’s conversation is with Jessica Charlesworth and Tim Parsons and we are talking about their design work which explores some of the key social, ecological, and technological challenges of our time. Parsons & Charlesworth is an art and design studio that develops tangible worlds as discursive tools for critically appraising urgent issues. Co-founded by Jessica Charlesworth and Tim Parsons, the studio’s investigative, research-driven, speculative approach uses installation, sculpture...
097 _ Michael Jakob _ 'Faux Mountains'
June 19, 2023 08:37 - 29 minutes - 40.6 MBToday is a conversation with Michael Jakob and we’re talking about his writing on Faux Mountains. These are the mounds, piles, and hills that are linked not only to architecture and landscape architecture but Land Art, Urban Design and beyond. With such a long history, this shape has been a construct that has been around for thousands of years yet continues to evolve in its cultural significance. Michael has a new book out now with the same name so be sure to have a look for that. BOOK ww...

August 03, 2020 00:01 - 47 minutes - 65.8 MBToday is a conversation with Holly Jean Buck and we’re discussing her book After Geoengineering: Climate Tragedy, Repair and Restoration. I think for many of us that like to think we’re working in at least the general wheelhouse of climate change, we still don’t have a firm grasp of what geoengineering entails.
