POPULARITY
HAPPY PRESERVATION MONTH! To celebrate, we wanted to share with you a new podcast that we think you'll love: Preservation for the People brought to you by The Black Art Conservators (BAC) and produced by Urbanist Media! In their first episode, Kayla Henry-Griffin and Nylah Byrd talk to Dr. Kwesi Daniels (Head of the Architecture Department at Tuskegee University) about conservation and preservation, the difference between the two, and what the future of the field might look like. When BAC reached out to us at Urbanist Media, asking if we could help produce their new podcast concept called Preservation for the People, we said yes, of course, because the project is SO mission-aligned. Huge thanks to our friend Rita Cofield of the Los Angeles African American Historic Places initiative with the Getty for introducing us to BAC! Preservation for the People is a new podcast from BAC, a collective of Black preservation professionals supporting each other, building community, and seeking change in the predominately white field of cultural heritage preservation. In Preservation for the People, hosts Kayla and Nylah, talk to other Black people in the preservation field about successes, struggles, and hopes for the future. Don't forget that Season Three of Urban Roots is coming in June! We've got four new documentary-style episodes coming your way. We will feature two-part series on the abolitionist history of the Ohio River and the history of Decatur, Alabama. The Ohio River to Freedom series will be coupled with Juneteenth Cincinnati Shorts, 90-second histories of people and places significant to Black history in Greater Cincinnati. Thanks to support from the Ohio Arts Council and Cincinnati Public Radio, these episodes (and shorts) will air on WVXU 91.7 and WGUC 90.9 in June. Full episodes will be available on Cincinnati Public Radio on Juneteenth! The Decatur series is produced for the City of Decatur and funded via a National Park Service Underrepresented Communities Grant. The first episode will focus on the history of First Missionary Baptist Church (designed by the infamous Wallace A. Rayfield who was also the architect of 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham) while the second will uncover the history of a little-known female architect named Carolyn Corner Smith. Please remember that we are actively fundraising for the Ohio River to Freedom Series – so if you're interested in becoming a named series sponsor reach out to urbanrootspodcast@gmail.com. Or if you just want to help us out anonymously, please send a donation to @urbanistmedia via Paypal or Venmo. One episode will look into the history of an extraordinary Black church there, one of the few buildings left in the historic Black neighborhood of Old Town. And the other will tell the story of an unsung female architect who built hundreds of buildings in northern alabama in the 1920s and 30s. AND finally, if you're in the NYC on Juneteenth, we would love for you to come celebrate the holiday and the launch of Season 3 with us at Urban Vegan Roots in Astoria, Queens, at 6pm.
This week's episode features a fun conversation with Dr. Kwesi Daniels. We talk about his journey into the profession, various tools of the trade, and having a 'Guerilla bag'. Building Highlight: Tuskegee University Sage HallLinks:AIA Architect's in Action : 7/13-7/14/23HeadlampTangible Remnants on InstagramTangible Remnants WebsiteLinkedTr.ee for resourcesGabl Media NetworkSarah Gilberg's MusicBio: Dr. Kwesi Daniels is the Head of the Architecture Department at Tuskegee University. His professional experience ranges across various disciplines, including historic preservation, architecture, sustainability management, and urban geography. He previously served as the Green Homes Coordinator for the New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency. Within this capacity, he was responsible for "greening" affordable housing throughout the state by implementing renewable energy, energy efficiency, and green finance products, which developers could use to improve the sustainable performance of the properties within their portfolio. One of the best financial products he uncovered while working with the NJ-HMFA was the integration of green financing with historic preservation and affordable housing tax credits. The coupling of sustainable building features with the restoration of historic structures creates an excellent opportunity to address three needs- aging infrastructure in urban areas, the demand for affordable housing, and the pending changes from climate change. His groundbreaking working at the NJ-HMFA provided the foundation upon which he does his current work.In 2018 he began developing a historic preservation program at Tuskegee University, within the Robert R. Taylor School of Architecture and Construction Science. The goal is to train architecture and construction science management students to handle the nuances of historic properties. This preservation work has expanded the resources of Tuskegee into African-American communities in Selma, Montgomery, Birmingham, and Tuskegee, Ala. He and his students are currently working to preserve the Armstrong School in Macon County, Al, a Tuskegee rural school model building and precursor to the Rosenwald School program. Some of his civic work includes serving as an advisory board member for the UPenn Center for the Preservation of Civil Rights Heritage Sites, board member of the Rosenwald Park Campaign Advisory Council, and the 3rd Congressional District Representative of the Alabama Black Heritage Council. Dr. Daniels earned a BArch and MArch in architecture from Tuskegee University and the University of Illinois at Chicago and an MS in sustainability management from Columbia University. In 2020 he earned a Ph.D. in urban geography from Temple University. His doctoral research...
In postwar Italy, a group of visionary artists used emergent computer technologies to experiment with art and technology and subvert conceptions of freedom and control. ARTE PROGRAMMATA is a book that describes how Italy's distinctive political climate fueled the group's engagement with computers, cybernetics, and information theory, creating a broad range of immersive environments, kinetic sculptures, and other multimedia art and design works.

David Roulin, associate director of Art&Build, talks about this project.The building was purchased by the City of Paris to rehouse the Public Buildings and Architecture Department. The location of the site, close to the ring road, required the creation of a high-performance acoustic barrier with the innovative development of a double skin façade. Open in late 2016 in Paris, Opalia will be the tallest and largest wooden building in France. Featuring CLT floors and the innovative south-facing double skin set on a wooden frame, the building comprises 8 levels above ground and 2 below.

Few architects have been as exciting or controversial as Paul Rudolph, whose early successes designing Modernist vacation homes in Sarasota FL led to a later career as Chair of the Architecture Department at Yale, then nearly 30 years designing buildings with intense use of concrete and steel. While the public was largely inspired by his work, Rudolph fell out of favor in the US and shifted to Singapore and Hong Kong, where he was much heralded and sought after. Like most Modernist architecture, over the years Rudolph's houses and buildings around the world became highly prized and at the same time, endangered. Joining us is preservationist, archivist, and President of the Paul Rudolph Institute for Modern Architecture, Kelvin Dickinson. Later on, music by the charming Tierney Sutton.

ENGLISH FOLLOWSGalen Cranz est une designer, consultante et professeur émérite au département d'architecture à l'Université de Californie à Berkeley. Elle prône le design de vêtements, de maisons, de lieux de travail et d'espaces publics qui mettent l'humain au premier plan. J'ai découvert son travail fascinant grâce au livre The Chair, qui inspire à repenser la place des chaises dans nos vies et qui met en lumière des principes fondamentaux pour créer des espaces propices au mouvement (livre qu'on a couvert ici dans notre club de lecture). Dans cet épisode, Galen nous parle de ce qui l'a menée à écrire un livre sur les chaises et présente le Body Conscious Design, une approche qui prend en considération les besoins du corps humain dans une optique de bien-être. Je crois sincèrement que la vision de Galen Cranz est l'avenir du design actif pour la maison. C'est pourquoi je suis si enthousiaste et reconnaissante d'avoir pu discuter avec elle de son parcours et de son approche. Galen Cranz is a designer, a consultant, and a Professor of the Graduate School in the Architecture Department at the University of California at Berkeley. She advocates for the design of clothes, homes, work places, and public spaces that put humans first. I discovered her fascinating work thanks to the book The Chair, which inspires us to rethink the place of chairs in our lives and which highlights fundamental principles for creating spaces conducive to movement (book that we covered here in our Book Club - in French).In this episode, Galen tells us about what brought her to write a book on chairs and introduces Body Conscious Design, an approach that takes into account the needs of the human body from a holistic wellness perspective. I sincerely believe that Galen Cranz's vision is the future of active design for the home. This is why I am so enthusiastic and grateful to have been able to discuss with her about her journey and her approach.

In episode 007 of the podcast I interview my college professor Willian Dean, AIA who is currently the Chair of the Architecture Department at SUNY Alfred. We discuss having a plan, working hard, making mistakes and how college is just a part of the journey on a longer path. William (Bill) with over 35 years in a professional and academic career has opened the eyes of his students and created the "Urban Design Studio" in collaboration with student and communities in Western New York. This program focuses on revitalizing downtown neighboorhoods and business corridors. This is a most interesting and reflective episode for me as we also dig into what my design studio looked like 20 years ago with Bill as a new professor. I must admit our class gave him a run for his money, while we were learning how hard work would later pay off.

I am very excited to share this episode with you. I love doing this podcast and because of that, I thoroughly enjoy every interview, tour and conversation. In honor of Modernism Week, I bring you one of my favorites and a Southern California icon. I recently toured the Richard Neutra VDL Research House in Silver Lake, California. This property is not just a case study home but it was the Neutra family home for decades, in two very different forms. The first home was designed by Richard Neutra in the 1930’s and the family lived in the International style modern home for three decades. It burned down and in the mid 60’s, it was completely re-imagined by Neutra and his son Dion. What rose from the ashes was a simply magnificent structure that fit the lifestyle of the family it was built for like a custom made glove. The lasting impact of Richard Neutra and his personal fit styling of architecture to embrace the occupants lifestyle and thereby enhance the quality of life is evident is virtually every aspect of the design and materials that went into this home. A seemingly transparent glass box with complete privacy. Small spaces that feel huge, a miniature kitchen that contained all the modern conveniences of the day and then some. This space is truly remarkable. I was given the grand tour by Sarah Lorenzen. Sarah is a professor in the Architecture Department at Cal Poly, owners of the property. She is the resident director of the Neutra VDL Showcase House and lives there full time with her husband. Following is our conversation as we traverse through the many floors, rooms and hallways of the home. Please check the Convo By Design YouTube channel and instagram profile for videos and images from the home. We will also be producing a room by room walking tour of the Richard Neutra VDL Research House so check back often. Thank you for listening. If you like what you hear, and I hope you do, please go to “Ratings and Reviews” on iTunes, leave us a note and a positive review. Positive ratings helps us attract new listeners to the podcast.. and it is very much appreciated. Enjoy this episode of Convo By Design Presented By Snyder Diamond.
A lot of Modernist houses you love from the 1950's and 1960's are going the way of unfortunate "renovations" or the bulldozer, largely because few people are aware of their architectural significance. Although most houses by famous architects are on lists, it's difficult to find where they are actually located. We talk with two expert house trackers who have between them documented thousands of houses and flown tens of thousands of miles to visit them! Jan-Richard Kikkert is an Amsterdam-based architect and head of the Architectural Department of the Amsterdam Academy of Architecture. He has visited every project designed by John Lautner, over 300 from Los Angeles to Aspen and from Anchorage to Acapulco. He is Head of Architecture Department at the Amsterdam University of the Arts and a member of the Board of Advisors of the John Lautner Foundation. He was in the documentary Infinite Space: The Architecture of John Lautner. Paul Moore is a former architect turned IT professional. He graduated with a BS in Architecture from the University of Michigan in 1986 and moved to Los Angeles to study at SCI-ARC. He started working on the digital version of Sweet's Catalogs for several years and in 2007, began using online mapping tools to locate public art and architecture posting to VirtualGlobeTrotting.com. He has searched for and found nearly 11,000 houses!

On today's episode, host Marcela Sulak reads poems about death and dying by Tamir Greenberg, translated by Tzippi Keller and found in Keller's anthology, Poets on the Edge. An Anthology of Contemporary Hebrew Poetry. Here is an exerpt from Greenberg's poem My Grandma Rachel, Age 15: "'Soon, my shadow will strike a small pile of snow, and then I’ll turn fifteen.' 'Sheets,' says the nurse impatiently. 'A pile of sheets.' 'Marius, my love, will come to meet me near the fence of the high-school for girls in Bucharest.' Grandma laughs. I was there already years ago. It was before my shadow refused to freeze on a small pile of snow, and when my love kissed me, his sweet kiss blossomed into my body like a rose petal, and later, in my father’s wine cellars, in the dim wine cellar, Marius threw me to the floor, and when he tore my virginity my right hand truck the tap of a barrel and wine oozed onto the filthy floor.' Tamir Greenberg was born in Tel Aviv in 1959, and heads the Architecture Department at Shenkar College. Also a playwright, his work has been staged at Habima - Israel's national theater. He has also published two collections of poems: Self Portrait with Quantum and a Dead Cat, and The Thirsty Soul. Text: Tamir Greengerb. “Ode” and “My Grandma Rachel, Age 15” in Poets on the Edge.
