Podcast Intro: Dr. Martha Sontag Bradley Evans (University of Utah, Dean of Undergraduate Studies) introduced her book Pedestals & Podiums: Utah Women, Religious Authority & Equal Rights (Signature Books, 2005) by telling her readers how in 1977, as young mother of three, she "bumped into the women's movement.” Which made all the difference in her life, both as woman and as scholar, who gradually found herself drawn to the study of gender and community (among other subjects).The focus of this podcast is 20th century Utah and LDS women's history. Although Bradley Evan's book was published fifteen years ago, it is required reading for those who wish to understand the tumultuous women's history of Utah in late 20th century. What makes this an interesting period (and podcast) is that Utah (and the nation) are still reckoning today with many of the same issues.The interview includes the social and demographic changes in the 20th century, from rural to urban and agricultural to industrial; the work of Alice Paul, American women's right activist, who introduced the idea of an Equal Rights amendment (ERA) in 1923; America and Utah's mid-20th century cultural wars, including women's rights, civil rights, the sexual revolution and the anti-Vietnam War movement; and unstoppable impact of women on the 20th century economy.Finally, this interview includes the story of the LDS Church's successful fight to stop the passing of the ERA during the late 1970s and into the 1980s. The impact of this battle was not only felt in Utah but across the country, as the LDS Church marshalled ground support across the USA, and facilitated fundraising vital to the state-by-state battles against the radification of this US Constitution ammendment.Describing the fight as moral issue, the LDS Church combined forces with an older generation of Americans, anxious and fearful of social and cultural changes; the emerging Christian Right---including Roman Catholics and Evangelical Christians; and the nascent Conservative wing of the Republican Party.To read the complete shownotes go to Speak Your Piece (Utah Dept. of Heritage & Arts)Guest Bio: Dr. Martha Sonntag Bradley-Evans is a professor in the U of U College of Architecture + Planning, and is the Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of Undergraduate Studies.

What makes an Airport City? | Max Hirsh, Managing Director of the Airport City Academy Max is an authority on the development of Airport Cities.  He is MD of the Airport City Academy, has a PhD from Harvard in Architecture & Planning and is a Research Fellow at the University of Hong Kong. He is also the developer of Airport Urbanism: a customer-focused approach to developing airport real estate and planning the airport area In this fascinating discussion Max provided a step by step guide to Airport Cities and explained why they are so important to an industry trying to recover from Covid and protect itself from future black swan events. Key takeaways: Airport Cities take many shapes. Although Schiphol, Helsinki and Singapore are all ‘Airport Cities’, they all look and feel different in nature Airport City investment is key for ongoing revenue diversification. Real estate provides new ‘non-passenger’ revenue streams which cushion asset owners and investors against the other unavoidable risks of the aviation industry A successful Airport City works in zones. The Core, catering for leisure or business travel, is accessible by foot.  The wider area, including cargo, logistics and manufacturing, remains within the proximity of the airport and is accessible via a short taxi ride or public transport Multiple factors are required for an Airport City to be successful, but these can be summarised into: People, Place, Partnership and Position

Essential questions on performance and design that help influence Nico's career and move the industry forward.  What it is like to work for Atelier Ten and clients who want to push the envelope with environmental design and energy systems to be more “human centric.” Why the LEED Silver and Gold levels have really become a baseline for projects. Nico shares why architects will need to educate themselves with the dynamics of the utility grid. Nico breaks down the plan, obstacles, and shifts for electrifying buildings and decarbonizing our grid. Why building trust and building relationships takes both technical prowess and social skills. “Trust in a design team is incredibly important because everybody's taking risks all the time because nobody's ever done this before (on a highly advanced sustainability project). So the importance of personal relationships and really being aware of that and understanding stakeholders and people I work with on the client side on a deeper level.”  -Nico Kienzl   Nico Kienzl Transcript    Nico Kienzl's Show Resources and Information Thermal Delight in Architecture LinkedIn Atelier Ten Local Law 97      Connect with Charlie Cichetti and GBES Charlie on LinkedIn Green Building Educational Services GBES on Twitter Connect on LinkedIn Like on Facebook Google+ GBES Pinterest Pins GBES on Instagram   GBES is excited our membership community is growing.

SONIC ACTS ACADEMY 2020 DESIGN EARTH: Rania Ghosn – Geostories 23 February 2020 – De Brakke Grond, Amsterdam, The Netherlands Architects Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy co-founded DESIGN EARTH to engage with geography in addressing humanity’s relationship to the Earth through architecture. From Monaco to Mexico City, their research develops projects around concepts such as hypothetical volcanos, the ​‘Pacific Cemetery’ where satellites go to die and a methane aviary as waste disposal unit rendering gas pipes a forest for birds. Rania Ghosn (DESIGN EARTH) begins her lecture Geostories with the question: How might the geographic imagination convert into an image and narrative of the climate crisis? That is, not only as a calamity of the physical environment, but also as a predicament of the cultural one – of the systems of representation through which society relates to complex and unknown environmental futures. In Geostories, geographic fiction becomes a medium to synthesise different forms and scales of knowledge on technological externalities, such as oil extraction, deep-sea mining, space debris and a host of other social-ecological issues, and to speculate on ways of living with such legacy technologies on the planet. The collaborative practice DESIGN EARTH based in Ann Arbor, Michigan and Cambridge, Massachusetts and is led by architects Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy. DESIGN EARTH literally means ​‘earth-writing’, deploying geographic aesthetics as a form of environmental speculation in the age of climate change.

Natural light from the sun is so vital to the health of every living thing. My guest on this episode is Dr. Travis Longcore. He is going to “illuminate” this topic of the ecology of light, especially focusing on impacts of artificial light at night. Light pollution doesn't just affect our ecosystems. The loss of darkness is linked to increased energy consumption and a disrupted connection with the night sky. There are important consequences for human health too. You can find out more about Travis by visiting his website travislongcore.net. twitter: @travislongcore #lightpollution And more about the Urban Wildlands Group at www.urbanwildlands.org.

Robert Young, PhD of the University of Utah's College of Architecture + Planning joined the Practical Preservation podcast to discuss the intersection of sustainability and preservation.

ATG Media is pleased to recognize the first ever recipients for the Up and Comers award with a series of interviews on the ATG Podcast. Who exactly is an “Up and Comer,” you ask?  They are librarians, library staff, vendors, publishers, MLIS students, instructors, consultants, and researchers who are new to their field or are in the early years of the profession.   Up and Comers are passionate about the future of libraries.  They innovate, inspire, collaborate, and take risks.  They are future library leaders and change makers, and we are excited to celebrate them with this award. There were 20 recipients of the award for 2017 that were announced just prior to the 2017 Charleston Conference.  Each episode, we’ll feature 3 – 4 short interviews with different award recipients. We have a standard list of 5 questions for each one, and a custom question based on their activities or interests that were listed in the profiles in Against the Grain.  Interview Questions for all UCs: Tell us a bit about how you arrived in your career? What is a change you hope to make in our profession? What do you think our industry will look like in 5-10 years? Significant changes? What are you reading at the moment? What advice would you give to students interested in careers in librarianship or information studies? Custom question First up we welcome Anna Boutin-Cooper to the podcast.

Before coming to MIT to serve as dean of the School of Architecture + Planning in January 2014, Hashim Sarkis taught at Harvard's GSD as the Aga Khan professor of Landscape Architecture and Urbanism in Muslim Societies. He founded his own practice, Hashim Sarkis Studios, in Cambridge in 1998, and continues to lead the firm. Sarkis’s experience working in two of the most highly-regarded architectural education institutions worldwide, while also managing his own firm, puts him in a unique position to approach theoretical questions of architecture from within the two, often discordant spheres of academia and practice. Our interview revolves around the same questions we ask in our Deans List series – how architecture education and practice are changing, how to address student needs, MIT’s particular take on how to cultivate exceptional architects, and the culture of the school in a global urban context.
