Welcome to the Elevator World News Podcast. This week’s news podcast is sponsored by elevatorbooks.com: www.elevatorbooks.com HANGING GARDENS THE CENTRAL FEATURE OF SINGAPORE TOWER Heatherwick Studios drew inspiration for the approximately 31-story-tall EDEN residential tower in Singapore's Orchard Road neighborhood from first Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew's vision of a "city in a garden," the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat reports, citing Architects' Journal. Each of EDEN's 20 luxury residences will have its own generous garden balcony, "recreating the verdant backyard access once ubiquitous across homes here," Thomas Heatherwick said. The façade is being constructed of concrete walls displaying an abstract map of Singapore's terrain. Developed by Swire Properties, EDEN is expected to be complete by the end of this year.

This week’s news podcast is sponsored by elevatorbooks.com: www.elevatorbooks.com “TRANSFORMATIVE DEVELOPMENT” DESIGN SELECTED FOR PARIS Youssef Tohme, Buzzo Spinelli, Hardel Le Bihan and Adjaye Associates are part of a team of architects that conceived the winning design for the Brunesceau development on the Seine River in southeast Paris, the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat reports, citing the Architects' Journal. To be built on a 10,000-m2 former brownfield site, the development will include skyscrapers and 25,000 m2 of office space, 800 housing units and 20,000 m2 of retail. Architect David Adjaye, who designed a 100-m-tall (or roughly 30-story) residential tower for the project, called it "truly transformative," featuring massive public terraces and using mostly renewable or reclaimed energy.

The last few weeks have been a bit of a downer—we had a big ol' roundtable on how Brexit is changing architecture practice and education, the Democratic and Republican National Conventions raged, and Rio is coping (somewhat) with its Olympic stress. Now, we're in need of some lighter fare. We wanted to take a moment in the summer heat to check-in with what Donna and Ken have been up to, and pass on some of our own recommendations for what to read and listen to this summer. Also featuring: Ken dishing about Guy Fieri and vegan butchers, Donna giving us the latest on her husband's giant installation in Rancho Cucamonga, and "a really fun text book".
