The Hearing Architecture podcast, proudly sponsored by Brickworks, presents Again and Again and Again, a mini-series hosted by Hilary Duff. Each week, we will bring you interviews and conversations as we seek better ways to understand, harness and deploy the expertise and knowledge of professionals currently within the design community, at home and abroad. Our guests are all experts on circularity within the building industry and share the aim to display that waste is not an accident but the consequence of decisions made at the design stage. Here is our opportunity. We, as designers, have an opportunity to do better. The architectural endeavour yields two distinctive outcomes, the addition of a building and the subtraction of a void. As construction takes shape -a curated assembly of materials, a corresponding void emerges in a location where these materials originally sourced, generally from elsewhere in the world. For years, designers have only been asked to consider result one: the building. But we've entered an age where architecture can no longer look over the impact of where and how materials are exploited. In this episode, I meet with Andy Coward, a Danish and UK-based structural engineer with 17 years of experience designing buildings and bridges, burning man installations, Apple stores, football stadiums, and architectural offices. Andy spent many of these years as an associate partner at Foster + Partners in London, where he first dappled in architectural projects. A shift to Scandinavia with his appointment as head of engineering at Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) in Copenhagen continued this trajectory, ignited his search for innovation within practice, and furthered his investigation into how structural materials can address climate change.  His search for a fresh approach to making, designing, and using concrete led to the founding of his current practice Net Zero projects and one of his first offerings:  the low-carbon structural system Minimass. Many within this circularity field talk about the requirement to move away from concrete and cement as a material. But here, we see Andy taking a different approach. Recognising that the world cannot stop its addiction to concrete overnight, he is instead advocating within the existing system helping it shift towards a better future. He asks how we can best use this material, how we can reduce our quantities, and be tactical in our composition of materials to allow concrete structures to live for longer. It's a logical evolution of a design philosophy: use the right material in the right place for the right purpose – no more, no less. In our discussion, Andy talks about two big challenges faced during construction: 1. The cost of materials: people have and will always fret about this. It's not new.  2. Carbon – A matter finally and importantly garnering more interest. It is becoming more and more apparent that these two items are intrinsically tied to each other and will only become more so as the availability of materials decreases, and the impacts of carbon become more apparent on our environment.  Andy was challenged to create a system that focuses on reducing both at the same time. Andy notes that he is not a materials scientist – he will leave the invention of new materials to others. He is not a ‘robot' guy, not a software programmer, but is a designer. He has questioned how he can use this background to create a system which uses less. Less material and less labour.  Today we begin our discussion with an analysis of our past, and how there may be clues to suggest the types of thinking we should apply to our current practice. Among other things we discuss the spectrum of beautiful and innovative concrete structures which emerged during the 20 century and modernism. Parabolic shells and thin arches with their fantastic use of minimal material and with a focus on forces in tension and compression. They emerged from a time when materials were scarce but labour was cheap. Our discussion today queries what will happen in the future where materials are again in short supply, but the cost of construction means we must think differently. This has been Again&Again&Again, a mini-series of Hearing Architecture, proudly sponsored by Brickworks, made possible with the support of the Alastair Swayn Foundation, and recorded during a period of residency with the Danish Arts Association in Copenhagen. Thank you so much for listening and thank you to our international guest Andy Coward, of Net Zero Projects. Thank you for sharing how your innovative structural solutions open many benefits, opportunities and push the boundaries of the rigid systems we work within. Let's watch this space and we look forward to speaking with you again in the future. Our sponsor Brickworks also produces architecture podcasts hosted by Tim Ross.

Se Yoon Park, 2023. Image courtesy of Carvalho Park, New York. Se Yoon Park 박세윤 (b. 1979, South Korea) is a sculptor living and working in New York. Park's foundation in architecture is reverberated through the deft construction of his geometries and manipulation of gravity in his sculptural installations. Integral to his perspective is the deconstructivist approach of Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas, founder of Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA), Netherlands, where Park began his career as an architect. Koolhaas' concept of the diagram, sourcing all possibilities on approach to a structure, is a defining principle of Park's practice as a sculptor. Park conducted his undergraduate studies in architecture at the department of Architectural Engineering at Yonsei University in Seoul and holds a Master of Architecture from Columbia University in New York. In addition to his time at OMA, his work in the realm of architecture includes positions with Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), Fernando Romero Enterprise (FREE), and with Joshua Ramus (REX). Park began his exploration of light and shadow in his own work as a sculptor in 2014. His work has since been shown by the European Culture Centre in Venice, in tandem with the 57th Venice Biennale, at the United Nations in the 13th UNCCD exhibition, and in solo and two-person exhibitions in New York and Seoul, at Carvalho Park (New York), Gallery Mark (Seoul), and Huue Contemporary (Seoul, Singapore), and as public art commissions in South Korea. His work has been featured in the Brooklyn Rail, Wallpaper* magazine, Artnet News, Dovetail magazine, Surface, Naver Design Press, Artsy Editorial, the Seoulive, Segye Daily, Seoul Economy Daily, among others.

In the past decade, the number of small architecture firms has been shrinking while the number of large firms has increased. The reason? A steep rise in the complexity of the projects firms are working on. As buildings get taller and more advanced, firms need bigger teams to handle the scope. And those teams would be lost without a good project manager to organize it all. Flora Bao, project manager at Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), shared what it takes to be an excellent project manager, from soft skills to design knowledge to balancing internal and external goals.Interview Takeaways Meet demands of large projects with larger firms Balance design experience with communication Change the PM role based on firm size Use simple tools Figure out org charts Cut up large projects into chunks Develop soft skills Clarify internal and external goals Work with each team member individually Embrace generalist teams Gather experience Succeed by making everyone happy Show Links Check out BIG - Bjarke Ingels Group Follow BIG - Bjarke Ingels Group on LinkedIn or Twitter Connect with Flora Bao on LinkedIn Connect with George Valdes on LinkedIn or Twitter Check out Monograph Follow Monograph on LinkedIn or Instagram Listen and read more about Monograph

Maciej Jakub Zawadzki after working for several years at two international renowned offices, Bjarke Ingels Group BIG in Copenhagen and MVRDV in Rotterdam, decided to establish his own practice MJZ. He will share with us how this wealth of experience shaped his professional career, leading him to realize his own firm in Poland. Deeply imbedded in his office's DNA is an attentive concern towards a sustainable and resilient design, with a conscious awareness for ecological and climatic issues. Technology and digital craft play an important role to enhance everyday living conditions. Maciej's architecture, human-centered and community inclusive, addresses important contextual problems from climate change, water retention, disaster mitigation, green strategies, to circular economy and socially responsive design. We will talk about ‘Gardens of the Future', a recent proposal he has done for an urban farm and natural food production center in Poland. Referring to his design approach focused in implementing greener energy, he will illustrate his interesting concept about a power station for a future battery-car run city. Part of the conversation will be also dedicated to the proposals to transform highly-traffic and polluted highways, fragmenting the dense metropolis, as the heart of Warsaw, Seoul, and Atlanta, into green-woven corridors, able to blend urban and social fabric. And to conclude, he will give an anticipation of LURE, the latest laboratory for Urban Research and Education founded in 2021, that applies digital modeling, robotics, AI and technological systems for future constructions.

Bjarke Ingels, founder and creative partner of Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), shares how empathy for the community drives his creative design solutions, which include incorporating a ski slope and climbing wall into the exterior of a waste-to-energy plant.

Hello guys! Thank you for checking out another episode from The Archiologist Podcast. Today we have a very lively interview with Bryan Maddock, this episode was recorded before the lockdown started happening. It was the first episode in person and I have to say, we laughed SO much and it was amazing just to see the interaction we were having face to face. I can't wait to meet with Bryan in the future again. So, a little bit about Bryan, he is an architect, Director of Fantastic Offense, and a part Instructor of Architecture at The Design School at Arizona State University. Maddock's ongoing research and design work emphasize utopia as a strategic tool for proactive rebellion and a call for a renewed professional agency. Prior to Fantastic Offense, Bryan Maddock was a project designer at Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) in New York and a designer at the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) in Hong Kong. Asides from all professional success he has had in his career, he has had immense success in his new business opportunity called Dimensions.Guide. Dimensions.Guide is a comprehensive reference database of dimensioned drawings documenting the standard measurements and sizes of the everyday objects and spaces that make up our world. He offers resources to professional designers, students, and the public alike as a way to enhance our global collective awareness of the parameters and dimensions of the things around us. From all his background you can tell this is going to be a very interesting interview! We talked about his experience in school, about the fact that he actually started school as a graphic designer, and later merged into architecture. How working at incredible firms at BIG and OMA made him a better designer, what he learned through this, and WHY he left the office world. We then talk about how architecture is a very multidisciplinary career and why exactly he chose to view architecture, not as a construct of buildings, but more as a way to help others through Dimensions Guide and also his own practice for speculative design, Fantastic Offense. But I really don't want to spoil it for you, because you have to listen on your own to our conversation. I'm sure this will help many of you that currently feel stuck at your jobs and want to diversify into different mediums of creativity. Without any further ado, let the talk begin! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Bjarke Ingels communicates the value—and world-changing potential—of architecture with the giddy enthusiasm and excitement of a sci-fi obsessive anticipating the next big Hollywood blockbuster. This is an analogy that especially makes sense when one gets deep into conversation with Ingels, as Andrew Zuckerman recently did for this episode of Time Sensitive. At age 44, the Danish-born Ingels has become one of the most widely known and talked about practitioners in his field, reaching a level of fame and notoriety that most leading architects don’t see until they’re nearly twice his age. How did he do it? The answer lies largely in comics, or at least that’s where his success story starts. Dreaming of becoming an illustrator or cartoonist, Ingels found a path to architecture through art school. This background allowed him, over time, to shrewdly distill compelling narratives into everything his firm, Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), does, whether a Copenhagen waste-to-energy plant that doubles as a ski mountain, a proposed floating city in the sea, or a Shenzhen skyscraper. On this episode, Ingels discusses his circuitous path to prominence; why he named his newborn Darwin; some of BIG’s latest undertakings, including The Dryline masterplan in New York; and why architects, developers, city planners, and others all need to take a longer view when it comes to creating our built environments.
