Through her “archaeology of the future” design approach, the Lebanese-born, Paris-based architect Lina Ghotmeh has firmly established herself as a humanist who brings a profound awareness of past, present, and presence to all that she does. In the two decades since winning her breakthrough commission—the Estonian National Museum in Tartu—her practice has taken off, with Ghotmeh swiftly becoming one today's fastest-rising architectural stars. Just a week after we recorded this episode of Time Sensitive, she was named the winner of a competition to design the British Museum's Western Range and, shortly after that, she was announced as the architect of the new Qatar Pavilion in the historic Giardini of Venice; she is also the designer of the Bahrain Pavilion at the just-opened 2025 Osaka Expo. Across her high-touch, high-craft projects, whether a brick-clad Hermès leather-goods workshop in Normandy, France, completed in 2023; the timber-framed 2023 Serpentine Pavilion in London; or the concrete-walled Stone Garden apartment tower (2020) in Beirut, Ghotmeh celebrates the hand.On the episode, Ghotmeh reflects on the long-view, across-time qualities of her work and outlines what she believes is architecture's role in shaping a better world ahead.Special thanks to our Season 11 presenting sponsor, L'École, School of Jewelry Arts.Show notes:Lina Ghotmeh[5:01] “The Shape of Time: Remarks on the History of Things”[5:01] George Kubler[5:01] Trevor Paglen[8:41] “The Long View: Why We Need to Transform How the World Sees Time”[8:41] Tim Ingold[11:15] “Windows of Light”[11:15] “Lecture: Lina Ghotmeh”[12:06] Beatriz Colomina[12:06] “Are We Human?”[19:58] Gaston Bachelard[24:04] Olga de Amaral[24:04] Cartier Foundation[24:04] Juhani Pallasmaa[24:04] “The Eyes of the Skin”[26:39] Luis Barragán[31:09] Stone Garden (2020)[31:09] Hermès Workshops (2023)[36:36] Peter Zumthor[36:36] “Atmospheres”[41:53] Khalil Khouri[44:51] Jean Nouvel[44:51] Norman Foster[44:51] Estonian National Museum (2016)[46:41] Renzo Piano[46:41] Richard Rogers[46:41] Maya Lin[46:41] Dan Dorell[46:41] Tsuyoshi Tane[50:45] “The Poetic, Humanistic Architecture of Lina Ghotmeh”[51:40] Rimbaud Museum[54:48] “Light in Water” (2015)[54:48] The Okura Tokyo[59:22] Les Grands Verres, Palais de Tokyo (2017)[59:44] Zero-Carbon Hotel Concept (2019)[59:42] Serpentine Pavilion (2023)[1:04:11] Osaka Expo Bahrain Pavilion (2025)

On this episode of Rehash, we're speaking with Irina Panovich (aka aiio) about non-linear models for cultural production, the importance of physicality and play when exploring emerging tech, and the importance of experimentation in crypto.For the last five years, aiio has been experimenting with an arts and tech collective in Copenhagen called 320 Colab, testing out various theses relating to funding for artists and creatives. This is her first time sharing publicly on a podcast about her experiences and learnings from that experiment.We talk a lot in this episode about experimenting in crypto, especially with community and culture, and aiio shares some key learnings and advice for building a community around foundational values and using human centered design.She also gives us a sneak peek into a new project she's working on right now that will be launching soon - a new podcast with UFO that she'll be using to experiment with new forms and models for podcasting.

In episode ten of season two of A is for Architecture, I speak with Beatriz Colomina and Evangelos Kotsioris, about their book Radical Pedagogies, co-edited with Ignacio G. Galán and Anna-Maria Meister and published by MIT Press in 2022. Beatriz is Howard Crosby Butler Professor of the History of Architecture at Princeton University and Evangelos Kotsioris, Curatorial Assistant in the Department of Architecture at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Radical Pedagogies documents and analyses the long history of experimental architecture education programs that ‘sought to upend disciplinary foundations and conventional assumptions about the nature of architecture […] challenged modernist and colonial norms, decentered building, imagined new roles for the architect, and envisioned participatory forms of practice' in favour of greater diversity, insight, democratic voice and justice, and away from top-down educational - and practice -models. You can get the book via MIT Press' website here; it's certainly worth a look. You can also find out more about Beatriz Colomina here, and listen to her lecture on similar themes to the book for the Strelka Institute here, in a lecture she gave in 2019, entitled Radical Pedagogies. Evangelos can be found at MoMA here, on Instagram here, on LinkedIn here and watched speaking about the façade of the UN Secretariat Building as part of MoMA's ArtSpeaks program here. As any of us in it, or who've gone through it might attest, architectural education seems to trend to the centre, and its base form remains remarkably resilient to change, even in the face of the great technical, social and cultural shifts that have transformed the contemporary world. Radical Pedagogies documents the visions – hopes, I suppose – of folk who tried, and in many cases succeeded, in testing new forms of learning practice in the face of this shifting landscape.

Per l'antropologo francese Marc Augé, gli alberghi (come gli aeroporti e le stazioni) sono dei non-luoghi: eterne zone di passaggio, onnipresenti nella nostra società, ma in cui non mettiamo radici. Forse, proprio per questa loro ambiguità, gli alberghi non hanno mai smesso di stimolare artisti e teorici come David Hockney, Sophie Calle e Beatriz Colomina. Una puntata sorprendente, in cui scopriremo le rivoluzionarie teorie di Costantino sulla ceretta per naso e orecchie, il rapporto tra non-luogo e non-cazzo nella filosofia di Francesco, un'inedita e struggente storia di Massimo Gramellini e la cronaca di una notte da incubo all'Hangar Bicocca, tra dentifrici allucinogeni e letti semoventi.In questa puntata si parla di Marc Augé, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Maurizio Cattelan, Alighiero Boetti, Christian Boltanski, Gilbert & George, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Lawrence Wiener, Rikrit Tiravanija, Otto Muhl, Michelangelo Pistoletto, On Kawara, Fischli und Weiss, Banksy, Caravaggio, Claude Monet, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Tadao Ando, James Turrell, Charles Ray, Beatriz Colomina, Zadie Smith, Toni Morrison, Andrea Fraser, Sophie Calle, Carsten Höller, David Hockney, Massimo Gramellini, Walid Raad, Hans Haake, Naeem Mohaiemen, Kerry Hill, Geoffrey Bawa e Hauser & Wirth.
L'architettura moderna è nata nella Vienna cosmopolita di fine '800 per rispondere al bisogno di ambienti che rispettassero i nuovi standard sanitari richiesti dai medici: spazi ampi, più luce e migliore areazione. Oggi, mentre ci lasciamo lentamente alle spalle una lunga pandemia, il legame tra architettura, salute e stile di vita è tornato a essere un tema cruciale. Costantino e Francesco ci raccontano una storia laterale dell'architettura contemporanea, parlando di anarchitetti batterici come Gordon Matta-Clark e archistar mancati come gli italiani di Archizoom, dell'architettura senza architetti di Yona Friedman e dell'architettura per i poveri promossa da Hassan Fathy e Laurie Baker.In questa puntata si parla di Sigmund Freud, Egon Schiele, Arnold Schönberg, Beatriz Colomina, Josef Hoffman, Adolf Loos, Gordon Matta-Clark, Mark Wigley, Holly Solomon, Roberto Matta, Benjamin Ward Richardson, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Gunter Sachs, John Zorn, Luis Barragán, Jill Magid, Rolf Fehlbaum, Federica Zanco, Harald Szeemann, Laurie Baker, Josef Albers, Anni Albers, Banksy, Kaws, Takashi Murakami, John Hilliard, Hassan Fathy, Superstudio, Archizoom, Poltronova, Ufo, Gianni Pettena, Rem Koolhaas, Mario Dezzi Bardeschi, Stefano Boeri, Gianandrea Barreca, Rachel Whiteread, Bruce Nauman, Sant'Agostino, Yona Friedman, Toni Negri, Renzo Piano, Richard Rogers, Minecraft, Bernard Rudofsky e Jeff Wall.
How female architects were erased from history: published in AR March 2017, The Invisible Women by Eva Álvarez and Carlos Gómez traces how architectural discourse and history has favoured the sole (male) starchitect, erasing collaborative realities and the work of women as it does so. As part of this year's W Awards, celebrating exceptional work by women in architecture, we will host a full week of digital events starting on Monday 8 March, including conversations between Kate Macintosh and Yasmeen Lari, and Lesley Lokko and Beatriz Colomina, as well as architects shortlisted for both the Moira Gemmill Prize for Emerging Architecture and the MJ Long Prize for Excellence in Practice.

Aquí está la segunda parte del episodio del mindfulness con Yolanda Cuevas Ayneto @yolandacuay. Responde a esta pregunta ¿alguna vez al final del día, después de haber hecho mil cosas, agotada, te das cuenta de que no te ha cundido el día, que no has hecho nada de lo que tenías que haber hecho?, si tu respuesta es si, no te sientas mal, no pienses que no eres capaz, el mindfulness te va ayudar, no a trabajar más, si no a trabajar mejor y como consecuencia a mejorar tu autoestima. En este episodio hablamos entre otras cosas de multitarea, de productividad, de gestión de la concentración, y cómo no divagar mentalmente, manteniendo tu mente en el presente y no irte de excursión al futuro o al pasado. Es un episodio con mucho contenido práctico, Yolanda nos cuenta cómo empezar, qué necesitas para dar tus primeros pasos, cuando vamos a notar los resultados y cómo gestionar nuestras expectativas para no caer en el desánimo y abandonar, que es algo que el cerebro va a estar encantado de que abandones porque al principio es muy probable que te cueste fijarlo en tu día. También nos comparte aplicaciones, libros útiles para que podamos empezar. Gracias Yolanda por colaborar conmigo, por tu pasión y compartir tus conocimientos. Como siempre os animo a que os suscribáis y lo difundáis a vuestros amigos y en vuestras redes sociales. Un beso y nos vemos en el próximo episodio. Material que recomendado en el episodio.

If modernity was driven by illness, then modern architecture presented itself as the perfect cure. Architectural historian Beatriz Colomina traces the relationship between a new kind of medical image and a new kind of space.
At the close of the First Gulf War, feminist architectural historian Beatriz Colomina wrote that “war today speaks about the difficulty of establishing the limits of domestic space.” That conflict of 1990-91 is most often cited as the first to pull the waging of war fully into the digital age and therefore into a blurring of boundaries of all kinds. Yet, most modern wars have introduced technological innovations that transform social relations and modes of communication and representation. In this paper Caren Kaplan focuses on a period that includes the Vietnam War (1955-1975) and extends into the “War on Terror” through a consideration of Martha Rosler’s photo collage series “House Beautiful: Bringing the War Home” (1967-2004). The technique of collage reinforces the artist’s emphatic effort to bring together seemingly incommensurable elements—images of exquisite domestic interiors, glamorous consumer commodities, and landscapes and bodies damaged by warfare. Literally bringing wars waged by the United States throughout this long durée into the hyper commodified environment of fashion layouts and magazine advertisement, Rosler demonstrates the impossibility of limiting domestic space, an impossibility that challenges representation across genres and practices—televisual, photographic, cinematic, social media, analogue, digital, etc. Such disturbances of “here” and “there,” “now” and “then,” resonate as powerful “aftermaths” of wars visible and invisible, always already underway. Caren Kaplan is Professor of American Studies at the UC Davis. Her research draws on cultural geography, landscape art, and military history to explore the ways in which undeclared as well as declared wars produce representational practices of atmospheric politics. Recent publications include Aerial Aftermaths: Wartime from Above (Duke 2018) and Life in the Age of Drone Warfare (Duke 2017).

Hugh Hefner passed away last year after decades at the helm of Playboy magazine, the first mainstream magazine featuring nude centerfolds that depending on your point of view, liberated women, demeaned women, or both. But you may not know that for nearly 20 years, Playboy promoted Modernist design like no other publication. Features on Frank Lloyd Wright, Bucky Fuller, Mies Van Der Rohe, Charles Eames, and others influenced a generation. Professor Beatriz Colomina is Director of PhD Graduate Studies at Princeton University's School of Architecture. Her books include Privacy and Publicity: Modern Architecture as Mass Media, awarded the 1995 International Book Award by the AIA; Sexuality and Space awarded the 1993 AIA International Book Award; She also had an essay published in the book The Sex of Architecture. In 2016, her exhibition Playboy Magazine and the Architecture of Seduction highlighted the magazine’s role in popularizing Modernism. Originally from New Zealand, Sandra Costa was a Playboy bunny in Miami and Los Angeles from 1967 to 1974. Soon she was known as the Kiwi bunny. She’s a well-known celebrity designer and founder of the Sandra Costa Design Group, providing custom interior design and remodeling - an award-winning furniture designer and a grandmother of three.
What do you call a woman who’s not at home, and needs a private place to pee? A “public woman,” or “prostitute.” At least that’s what London’s men thought at the turn of the 20th Century. How far have we come? This World Toilet Day (Nov 19), Shawn “The Puru” Shafner talks with Barbara Penner, pedigreed architectural history expert*, feminist, and prolific toilet academic. Wanna know more about that space we call Bathroom? She literally wrote the book, along with many others. From Victorian women who peed covertly in church pews, to the tinkle sprinkle left on the toilet seat, join us for a wide-reaching conversation that unpacks the politics of who gets to pee, and where. Then stop chipping away at the glass ceiling, and turn your hammer to the urinal. *“Senior Lecturer in Architectural History at the Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London” Also mentioned: UCL, Le Corbusier, built environment, Social justice, Accessibility, Women's rights, Gender rights, Olga Gershenson, Ladies and Gents: Public Toilets and Gender, bladder, Christina Irene, adult diapers, Canada, UK, Niagara Falls, Athens, cistern, Beatriz Colomina, Sexuality and Space, Camden Town, George Bernard Shaw, public baths, New York City, NYC, transgender access, class, Louis Bourdaloue, muff, menstruation, MHM, work, George Waring, privacy, Simone de Beauvoir, The Second Sex, potty training, taboo, Alexander Kira, infrastructure systems, Cornell University, Center for Housing and Environmental Studies, American Standard, NYU, Laura Noren, Harvey Molotch, unisex

Cuma Adli Adamlar: 19 Temmuz 2013 Beatriz Colomina'nın 'Mahremiyet ve Kamusallık: Kitle İletişim Aracı Olarak Modern Mimari' başlıklı kitabından yola çıkarak modern mimaride kamusallık ve mahremiyet üzerine bir tartışma. Mahremiyet ve Kamusallık, modern mimari hareketinin Adolf Loos ve Le Corbusier gibi iki önemli figürünün eserlerinden yola çıkarak, mimarinin ancak kitle iletişim araçlarıyla temasa geçtiğinde modern olduğunu ve böylece geleneksel mekân ve öznellik anlayışlarının temellerini sarstığını savunuyor. Mimarlığın kabul gören bakış açılarının temel varsayımlarını sorguluyor ve mimari eleştirinin yöntemini yeniden değerlendiriyor. Arşivden şehre, modaya, savaşa, reklamcılığa ve müzeye kadar uzanan entelektüel bir yolculukta, mekânları deneyimleme biçimlerimizdeki değişikliklerin izlerini süren kitap, mimari söylemi çizim, model, fotoğraf, kitap, film ve reklam gibi pek çok temsil biçiminin kesişim noktası olarak gördüğü için, mimari nesneye, yani başlı başına bir temsil mekanizması olan binalara başka gözlerle bakmayı öneriyor.
