Orla outlines the major flaws in these new guidelines, around creating liveable homes, and analyses the Governments justifications as lacking evidence. These will boost speculative developers profits and create tenements of the 21st century charged at unaffordable rents.

Accra's James Fort is an iconic monument for Ghana and modern Africa. This lecture explores the fort's evolution -from its role as a trading post in the early European-African encounters, through its significance during the trans-Atlantic trade and enslavement, to its later use as a modern colonial prison in the post-independence era. It also explores its connection to Ghana's liberation movement, particularly its role in imprisoning Dr. Kwame Nkrumah and other political leaders during their resistance to British rule. Today, this monument represents the resilience, talent and creative potential of a sustainable future for Ghana and its youthful population.This lecture was recorded by Elsie Owusu on the 27th of March 2025 at Barnard's Inn Hall, London.Elsie Owusu OBE is a Ghanaian-British architect and urban designer. She is principal of Elsie Owusu Architects, with projects in UK, Nigeria and Ghana.With an extensive portfolio of international projects, from transport and infrastructure and master planning, Elsie is a specialist conservation architect. She is currently designing rural community-led zero-carbon schemes and conservation projects in Ghana and developing eco-homes in Sussex. When a partner at Feilden+Mawson, she was co-lead architect for the UK Supreme Court and London's Green Park Station.Born in Ghana, Elsie was the founding chair of the Society of Black Architects. She is a trustee of UK Supreme Court Arts Trust and former member of Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) Council. Previous roles include the Founding Vice-Chair of the London School of Architecture, the London Mayor's Panel of Design Advocates and Board Member of the Commonwealth Heritage Forum.

Recorded poolside at the swanky USModernist compound during Modernism Week 2025, this week we're hanging with the Daughters of Design: Susan Saarinen, Celia Bertoia, and Carla Hartman.  Back in the studio, authors Phillip Cox and Niall Cronin on architect Evans Woollen, and later, a well-known NPR host who's toured with Pink Martini, special musical guest Ari Shapiro.

In this episode, your host Keyiera Wright sits down with the remarkable Imani Brisco, also known as Imani B., an experiential marketer and founder of Generations of Hope. Join us as we delve into the roots of community building, the future of community work, and how brands can create authentic connections that last.We're laying out the blueprint on:- What makes communities actually feel connected (and what doesn't)?- How to create events that feel like love letters—and leave a lasting impact- Real-world examples that prove even "unsexy" industries (yes, we're talking finance and B2B) can show up with heart.- The systems and storytelling, both IRL and on social, that fuel real community momentum

Skyscrapers aren't just engineering marvels, they're intellectual property battlegrounds where creativity meets the courtroom. Welcome to the fascinating world where distinctive buildings become trademarked brands, architectural blueprints trigger million-dollar lawsuits, and even tourist photographs might infringe copyright.Our journey begins with trade dress protection for buildings so distinctive they function as logos. The Hard Rock Hotel's 450-foot guitar shape earned trademark protection for being "inherently distinctive." At the same time, the geometrically interesting Palacio del Rio learned the hard way that being architecturally notable isn't enough, you need instant brand recognition. When your building makes people stop and stare, it might just be eligible for trademark protection.We then explore the often-overlooked protection for architectural plans. Blueprints aren't merely technical documents but creative works with automatic copyright protection. From the UK to Canada to Australia, courts have awarded substantial damages when developers use another's plans without permission. The message is clear: copying isn't just copying and pasting, using someone's creative layout without authorization is litigation waiting to happen.The laws governing the photography of buildings create another layer of complexity. "Freedom of panorama" determines whether you can snap, share, or sell images of buildings in public spaces, with drastically different rules worldwide. The Eiffel Tower exemplifies this peculiar legal landscape, the structure itself is in the public domain. Still, its twinkling lights remain under copyright protection, meaning your nighttime Paris photo could technically require permission for commercial use.Perhaps most fascinating is the tension between owning a building and owning its design. When a Brazilian paint company used a home's image on product labels with the owner's permission but without consulting the architect, the courts sided with the architect. Similarly, when a German museum planned renovations requiring the removal of an architectural art installation, the Federal Court had to weigh property rights against creative moral rights.Whether you're an architect protecting your vision, a developer navigating permissions, or simply someone who appreciates beautiful spaces, understanding these intersecting legal frameworks helps you navigate the built environment more responsibly. Because great design deserves more than admiration, it deserves legal protection, proper credit, and sometimes, a really good lawyer.Subscribe now to explore more intellectual property frontiers where creativity and commerce collide in unexpected ways.Send us a text

In this In Case You Missed It (ICYMI) article read, we revisit an article published on the interiors+sources website titled, "Commercial Materials Industry Moves Closer to Scalable Biomaterials Solutions," on April 22, 2025, written by Kenn Busch. As you listen to this mini-episode, you'll learn about the sustainability discussions and trends in biomaterials at the Heimtextil textiles and interiors fair and uncover insights into the challenges and future prospects for biomaterials in commercial interiors, including: Biomaterials are defined as materials derived from waste or byproducts—not traditional natural materials with existing supply chains. Scalability remains the biggest barrier to widespread adoption of biomaterials due to limited supply and high production costs. Spinnova's fiber technology offers a rare example of a truly scalable, low-impact biomaterial solution. Promising prototypes like Agoprene and Piñatex face durability, performance, or supply challenges that limit mass adoption. A “Yes, and…” strategy encourages integrating biomaterials alongside traditional ones rather than replacing them outright. Natural variation in biomaterials should be embraced as a desirable aesthetic, not a flaw.

This week, the housing Minister unveiled new rules allowing studio flats as small as 32 square metres. But are these moves for smaller apartments harkening back to Soviet style housing models? All to discuss with Orla Hegarty, Architect & Assistant Professor at the UCD School of Architecture, Planning & Environmental Policy.

【聊了什么】 在上一期的节目中，我们讨论了刚刚赢得民主党纽约市长初选的新生力量马姆达尼。我们在播客中也提到，如果马姆达尼能够在11月击败其他候选者，成为纽约市长的话，将不可避免地要和州长、市议会、州议会、NYPD等等多方势力和利益团体打交道，来实现自己的承诺，也不可避免的要进行妥协。马姆达尼在竞选中喊出了要实现纽约公交免费的目标，如果要实现这一目标，就需要和掌管纽约地铁、公交和通勤铁路的纽约大都会运输署，也就是MTA打交道。 纽约作为的全球最知名的大都会、全美最大城市，却承载着一套“老旧且脆弱”的公共交通基础设施。技术和资金壁垒固然是常见的制约因素，但这座城市独特的制度基因才是影响基建发展的关键。 在这期番外节目中，嘉宾罗雨翔就从纽约地铁为什么这么烂讲起，分析了纽约城市发展背后的政治与经济。这期番外播客剪辑于第214期纽约文化沙龙的录音，由罗雨翔于2025年4月13日主讲。罗雨翔此前也做过另一期和纽约相关的节目《纽约的房价到底为什么这么高？》，两期播客都发布在我们的友台《选修课》上，也欢迎大家前去收听，并关注这档播客。 如果你对这期节目内容感兴趣，请关注主讲人罗雨翔的新书《创造大都会——纽约空间与制度观察》！国内各大平台均有销售（淘宝、当当、京东），海外用户请使用这个链接购买。 【支持我们】 如果喜欢这期节目并希望支持我们将节目继续做下去： 也欢迎加入我们的会员计划： https://theamericanroulette.com/paid-membership/ 会员可以收到每周2-5封newsletter，可以加入会员社群，参加会员活动，并享受更多福利。 合作投稿邮箱：american.roulette.pod@gmail.com 【时间轴】 00:07:33 纽约房价数据及其成为社会和政治议题 00:11:23 纽约没有总体规划，而是通过分区（Zoning）来管理城市开发 00:18:02 90%的开发项目无需审批 00:26:19 通过Hudson Yards项目分析纽约政府在推动开发中的重要作用 00:34:44 经济适用房（Affordable Housing） 00:42:55 开发商建设经济适用房的盈利模式及其对整体房价的影响 【我们是谁】 选修课 Universus 是一档分享和探讨泛文化话题的中文播客，脱胎于2013年创办的纽约文化沙龙。 我们力求引发对学科方法和视角的认知和思考，而不仅仅是知识的传递。我们在组织活动的过程中积累了一些经验和人脉，尝试打造成年人的博雅教育，并在播客中拓展这样的探索。我们希望审视和反抗无意识的价值规训与随波逐流。我们希望冷酷地剖析自己的偏见，热忱地拥抱多元视角。我们希望去工具化，真诚地感知、理解、创造自己的生活和复杂的世界。我们追随原初的好奇而非代餐式的猎奇。话题可以轻松，方法力求严肃。在《选修课》里，我们互相映照，唤醒失落的维度。 主播： 老赵：理论物理学博士，软件工程师，纽约文化沙龙组织者。 主讲： 罗雨翔：美国注册城市规划师，哈佛大学与伦敦政治经济学院建筑与经济双硕士。现居纽约，参与以及主持北美20余地区的地产开发、区域经济政策与公共领域投资项目。 【 What We Talked About】 New York City's housing prices have long been a focal point of public attention. Over time, the rise in housing prices has become not just an economic phenomenon, but a complex and profound social issue involving multiple factors. As a global financial center and cultural hub, New York City has attracted a large influx of people and business activities, leading to a continuous increase in housing demand. Beyond the macroeconomics, New York's unique planning policies and land development rules have also had a profound impact on housing prices. At the same time, rising housing prices have led to changes in the city's social structure, challenging local residents with rising housing costs and deteriorating living conditions, sparking widespread discussions about social equity and economic development? How does the government negotiate with developers? Why does New York have a cityscape where skyscrapers coexist with old buildings? How is affordable housing developed in New York? What restrictions and subsidies does the government have for development projects? What impact do high housing prices have on social structure and cultural atmosphere?

The past decade of organizing events and talks put us in a position of creating a sort of liberal arts education experience for those who have left school. We strive to go beyond merely transmitting knowledge to reflecting on complex topics using cross-disciplinary perspectives. We strive to resist conformity, to dissect our own biases, and to embrace diverse schools of thought. Our goal is to help professionals resist becoming just a tool of production, and to understand the world around us in earnest. We let our genuine curiosity be our guide. With a light-hearted tone, we approach each topic seriously. We hope that “选修课 Universus” creates a space to explore lost dimensions. Hosted by: Lao Zhao: PhD in Theoretical Physics, software engineer, and organizer of the New York Cultural Salon. Guest: Luo Yuxiang: U.S. Registered Urban Planner, holding dual master's degrees in Architecture and Economics from Harvard University and the London School of Economics. Currently residing in New York, he has participated in and led over 20 real estate development, regional economic policy, and public domain investment projects across North America.

Ben is making dozens of brown bag lunches and delivering them around the Quarter to anyone in need. He assures me that he wears gloves and a mask while preparing the meals. I'm hungry now and heat up spaghetti leftovers from yesterday." At the end of his diary, he notes, "The Quarter itself is a poem.

The One Big Beautiful Bill is now law, and its impact on housing could be massive.The Low-Income Housing Tax Credit received its biggest reform in 25 years, including halving the requirements of how much of its funding must come from municipal bonds.LIHTC and the Opportunity Zones program were both made permanent, and major adjustments to OZs — including a wave of new zones to come and a new focus on rural areas — could supercharge housing development.It's not just a welcome step from the U.S. government, Camden President and Chief Financial Officer Alex Jessett said on this week's episode — new tax treatment and a deregulation push are absolutely critical to get housing supply up and start to chip away at the nation's affordable housing crisis.Register on Bisnow.com to join next Friday's conversation live, or check back here for the conversation after it airs.

How do we build a world that truly reflects who we are? In this profound conversation, I sit down with architect and design tastemaker Obiora Nwazota, a powerful voice reshaping our understanding of culture, identity, and design. Obi shares his journey from a childhood in Nigeria, dreaming beyond the prescribed path, to becoming a cultural force in Chicago.   We explore how he challenges the singular narrative of design by asking a simple yet powerful question: If someone walked into your home, would they know an Igbo person lives there? This question opens up a deep dialogue about the importance of ritual, the stories our spaces tell, and the critical mission of his venture, Okpara House, to reclaim and elevate Igbo cultural assets for contemporary life.  This episode is a call to all creatives to look deeper into our own heritage and harness our gifts to build a richer, more inclusive world.

Capricorn Full Moon Harmonic Field – July 10, 2025The Spiral Has Landed: The Lightline is Sealed. The Structure is Here.This episode is a direct Harmonic Light Transmission from the July 10 Capricorn Full Moon, streaming through the sealed Lightline of the Earth and anchoring the Spiral of Becoming into planetary form. Not potential. Not metaphor. Form.On July 10, 2025, under the crystalline lens of the Capricorn Full Moon, a planetary finalization occurred. The Wave of Becoming, which initiated the breakdown and deconstruction of outdated energetic scaffolding across 2024, has fully cleared at the planetary level. Its architecture has dissolved. It is no longer in active construction mode within Earth's harmonic field.As of July 3, 2025, the planetary Lightline was sealed.This Lightline sealing marked the anchoring of a new harmonic structure—one that allows the Spiral of Becoming to stabilize into actual dimensional form. Not a vibrational potential. Not a metaphor. Structure. Architecture. Completion.We explore:The completion of the Wave of Becoming at the planetary frequency levelThe birth and anchoring of the Spiral of Becoming as a new multidimensional infrastructureThe planetary sealing of the Lightline as a harmonic event locking in Oversoul-compatible architectureHow time, scaffolding, and harmonic resonance behaved differently inside this lunar corridorWhy nothing needs to be built right now—because it is already builtThis is not personal embodiment or individual resonance. This is planetary harmonic finalization. The field has shifted its base structure.

Michael Anschel, the main brain behind OA Design Build Architecture (a sponsor of this fine podcast), stops by for another rousing discussion. This is far more than an hour long infomercial, it's a robust discussion of community, our relationship to the natural world and the ongoing battle against the erosion of human decency. He's also conjured up a fictional company, complete with a website and employee handbook, that is a truly terrifying piece of modern satire. Oh, and he always brings killer songs. This time was no exception. Enjoy!

In part 1 of our summer series centered on the 2025 AIA Conference on Architecture, we discuss Evan's first visit to Boston and share his and Cormac's impressions of the city.Rather than focusing on CEUs or presentations, we explore how the AIA Conference continues to serve as a powerful gathering place for the profession. The serendipity of in-person meetups, the nuance of hallway conversations, and the inspiration found in real-world architecture make it a unique moment in the calendar year.Whether you made it to Boston or not, this episode captures the essence of what makes architectural travel and community engagement so energizing. It's a reminder that often the most meaningful aspects of being an architect happen outside the office—walking the streets of a great city or reconnecting with colleagues over drinks after years apart.Episode Links:Evelyn Lee, FAIA - AIA 2025 PresidentArcolArchistarUpcodesHotel Marcel-----Have a question for the hosts?

633. We talk to Heidi Kim about her research into the novel, Vieux Salomon. "Set in Guadeloupe, New Orleans, the surrounding Louisiana plantations, and briefly in other areas of the South, this is a key text of the history of slavery in Louisiana and the Deep South.There is obviously a difference between memoirs and novels in terms of perception and claims to nonfiction. However, in U.S. antislavery literature, both usually attempted to appeal to the same white mainstream readership (with the exception in this case of Testut's audience being French-speaking and largely Catholic). Most claimed realism; even novels asserted that they depicted events that had happened or were familiar, even if the characters were fictional." "Heidi's research and teaching ranges through 19th-21st century American literature, with specializations in the Japanese American incarceration of World War II, law and literature, and the Cold War period. She has also published on Walt Whitman and antislavery literature, including the partial translation of Louisiana Francophone novel Le Vieux Salomon, and collaborated on interdisciplinary environmental research" (Kim).

Karen has a new live course coming up, on the 7th of July, and in this episode she wants to explore two things that link into that live course - Floral Fragrances and Structure. Working with florals, without experience, can be an overwhelming task that often leads to disappointing results as florals are dense materials that fight with each other if you don't know how to mix them. But, when you get florals right, they can lead to some of the most rewarding results in all of perfume making. In this episode, Karen gives a brief overview of the challenges you will face when working with florals, the methods you can use to overcome them and how, by signing up to her live course, you can become a master of working with florals. KEY TAKEAWAYS Floral materials by their very nature are dense and heavy. This can lead to less than pleasing results the first time you work with them, which can be off putting. However, the answer, as Karen explains, is making sure you have a structure in place. Despite popular belief, working with florals doesn't just mean working with natural products. Karen explains how to mix naturals and synthetics to give your floral fragrances a structure that works. A common mistake people make when working with florals is trying to ‘patch up' a fragrance that doesn't smell the way they were hoping. Karen talks about why this is a mistake and the importance of getting your heart accord correct to avoid this problem. Karen gives a brief overview of the structure she teaches, why it works and what to expect from your fragrances once you've learned it through her live course. BEST MOMENTS “Once you create a solid fragrance structure, you're going to be able to use that in every other fragrance type.” “The issue isn't the materials, it's the space between them.” “People often think that more florals equals better floral fragrance, but it doesn't work like that.” VALUABLE RESOURCES Perfume Making 101 Masterclass  Getting Started Guide Artisan Perfumery Mastermind  ABOUT THE HOST Fragrance expert, author, teacher and speaker; Karen Gilbert runs courses in the UK and online which demystify the secretive world of perfumery in a fun and interactive way.

In this thought-provoking episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, we speak with Aaron Scott —author, ex-Wall Street hedge fund founder, and host of The Evolved Podcast. Together, we unpack how the modern world subtly programs us through systems like education, government, medicine, and media—and how to awaken within them without abandoning ourselves. Aaron shares the core framework from his upcoming book The Architecture of Awakening, revealing how aligning with your true self—rather than resisting the system—is the key to reclaiming autonomy and inner peace. We explore practical strategies to integrate spiritual truth, reframe failure, and recognize our interconnectedness in a world of illusions. About the Guest:Aaron Scott is a modern-day deconstructivist with a background on Wall Street and a heart centered on truth. He went from founding a hedge fund to leading an alternative therapeutics company. Now, his mission is to help people awaken to their true nature amidst societal programming. His upcoming book The Architecture of Awakening and The Evolved Podcast are powerful resources for navigating identity, consciousness, and collective evolution. Key Takeaways: Most modern systems shape our identities unconsciously; awakening starts with awareness. Real power comes not from rebelling but from integrating spiritual truth into daily life. Reframing failure as growth is essential to breaking free from indoctrination. We are not separate from others or the planet—diversity and connection are universal truths. Living in alignment with your natural flow allows the world to unfold in support of you.   Connect with Aaron Scott :Listen to The Evolved Podcast with Aaron Scott Book (Coming Soon): The Architecture of Awakening Stay updated via his website: https://www.theaaronscott.com/   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

In 1897, Gustav Klimt led a group of radical artists to break free from the cultural establishment of Vienna and found a movement that became known as the Vienna Secession. In the vibrant atmosphere of coffee houses, Freudian psychoanalysis and the music of Wagner and Mahler, the Secession sought to bring together fine art and music with applied arts such as architecture and design. The movement was characterized by Klimt's stylised paintings, richly decorated with gold leaf, and the art nouveau buildings that began to appear in the city, most notably the Secession Building, which housed influential exhibitions of avant-garde art and was a prototype of the modern art gallery. The Secessionists themselves were pioneers in their philosophy and way of life, aiming to immerse audiences in unified artistic experiences that brought together visual arts, design, and architecture. With:Mark Berry, Professor of Music and Intellectual History at Royal Holloway, University of LondonLeslie Topp, Professor Emerita in History of Architecture at Birkbeck, University of LondonAndDiane Silverthorne, art historian and 'Vienna 1900' scholarProducer: Eliane GlaserReading list:Mark Berry, Arnold Schoenberg: Critical Lives (Reaktion Books, 2018)Gemma Blackshaw, Facing the Modern: The Portrait in Vienna 1900 (National Gallery Company, 2013)Elizabeth Clegg, Art, Design and Architecture in Central Europe, 1890-1920 (Yale University Press, 2006)Richard Cockett, Vienna: How the City of Ideas Created the Modern World (Yale University Press, 2023)Stephen Downes, Gustav Mahler (Reaktion Books, 2025)Peter Gay, Freud, Jews, and Other Germans: Masters and Victims in Modernist Culture (Oxford University Press, 1979)Tag Gronberg, Vienna: City of Modernity, 1890-1914 (Peter Lang, 2007)Allan S.
