This week were are privileged to be joined by legendary architectural trio 'The Three Classicists' to celebrate the 15th anniversary of their seminal exhibition at RIBA (The Royal Institute of British Architects).In May 2010, friends Ben Pentreath, George Saumarez Smith and Francis Terry collaborated as 'The Three Classicists' on an exhibition that showcased their work and beliefs in the noble tradition of classical architecture, particularly through the power of drawing.Joining Geoff and Rory on the podcast this week, Ben, George and Francis reflect on the exhibition fifteen years on, discussing what has changed and what has remained the same... and sharing some stories about the wonderful country houses they've designed in the interim.

This week on Pagecast Michele Magwood is in conversation with John Stewart about his book, the first complete and comprehensive biography of Sir Herbert Baker. More about the book: Architect Sir Herbert Baker left an indelible mark on South Africa and much of the British Empire in the first half of the 20th century. This is the first full biography from childhood and was written with full cooperation from his family and with access to his archive and private papers. After a Victorian architectural apprenticeship in London, Sir Herbert Baker went on to become the most prolific architect of his age in South Africa, where he designed numerous public buildings, churches, schools and private houses, including the Union Buildings, St George's Cathedral and Groote Schuur. Thereafter, he worked in India, Kenya and England where, among many other projects, he designed South Africa House. He was an intimate friend of many fascinating men of his age, including Cecil Rhodes, T. E. Lawrence, John Buchan and Jan Smuts. Lavishly illustrated, this biography offers a compelling picture of an architect whose buildings contribute greatly to South Africa's rich history. More about John and Michele: John Stewart is an award-winning architect, architectural historian and author who, prior to his retirement, was the leader of one of the UK's largest multi-disciplinary architectural practices. He is a Fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects and the Royal Society of Arts and was twice selected as one of the best 40 Architects under Forty in the UK. He has been writing and lecturing full-time since 2015 and has written six books. John was educated at the Mackintosh School of Architecture, the Oxford School of Architecture and Henley Management College and lives in Buckinghamshire outside London.

The architect Takero Shimazaki was born in Tokyo but is a longtime Londoner. He has designed many kinds of buildings – including the London home of the Royal Academy of Dance. It's a warm, open, lovingly designed space and last year, the Royal Institute of British Architects gave it both an RIBA National Award and RIBA London Award, calling it “an uplifting, welcoming and inclusively safe place.” So how do you take a heritage organisation like the RAD and build it a 21st century home? An architect can shape the way bodies move through space, just like a choreographer – so we ask Takero why dance matters to him.Takero Shimazaki is an architect and a director of Takero Shimazaki Architects, t-sa. He studied at University of Wales, Cardiff and The Bartlett, UCL. He has worked for Richard Rogers Partnership, Itsuko Hasegawa and Alison and Peter Smithson, and is a lecturer in Architecture at the School of Art, Architecture and Design at London Metropolitan University.LINKShttps://www.t-sa.co.uk/https://www.ribaj.com/buildings/riba-awards-2024-london-south-west-royal-academy-of-dance-takero-shimazaki-architects-education-wandsworthhttps://www.royalacademyofdance.org/ Hosted on Acast.

Welcome to the Institute of Black Imagination podcast, beaming in conversations from the galaxy of Black genius. I'm your host, Dario. Today we're honored to introduce our guest, Professor Lesley Lokko. A distinguished Ghanaian-Scottish architect, educator, and bestselling novelist, Dr. Lokko most recently served as the Curator of the 18th Venice Biennale of Architecture, becoming the first Black-identified person to hold the position. She's also the founder and Director of the African Futures Institute (AFI) a pioneering postgraduate school of architecture in Accra, Ghana.Dr. Lokko is also a best-selling novelist with 12 titles under her belt. Her novels have been translated into sixteen languages dealing with themes of love, loyalty, class, race, and cultural identity, transforming the “beach-read” genre into an extension of her architectural, world-building practice. For her contributions to the fields of Architecture and education, she was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire in 2023 and 2024 won the Gold Medal Award, by the Royal Institute of British Architects, one of the highest honors in the world of architecture. And in many ways, that's where today's conversation with Prof. Leslie Lokko begins. The reality of appearing to be at the top, juxtaposed against the sweat and elbow grease required in institution-building and well… being a human being. Prof. Lokko joyfully and deftly takes us on a journey of triumph, career pivots, culture shock, womanhood, and becoming.

Having a knock-out creative career five decades long is one thing. Setting up a charity to inspire the same creativity in the next generations is another. But the iconic British design duo, who are also husband and wife - Sir John Sorrell CBE and Lady Frances Sorrell CBE - have done just that. Frances and John started their lives in design both aged of 14 when, in different parts of London, they attended free Saturday morning classes at their local colleges of art and design. Neither were from well-off families. John had never been to an art gallery and most of his peers were dropping out of school aged 15 to get jobs. The experience was a revelation that paved the way for full-time study and their careers in design. It was also the prime motivation for the formation of the Sorrell Foundation in 1999 with the aim of inspiring creativity in young people to change their lives and make the world a better place. After meeting through work, the Sorrell's launched their now legendary design studio, Newell and Sorrell, in 1976. They've redesigned some of the UKs most high-profile organisations, including British Airways, The BBC and the Royal Mail. After 25 years in business, they sold to Omnicom, and have spent the past 25 working to give young people pathways to higher education in the creative industries. Their achievements and accolades are too long to list. John is co-founder and chairman of London Design Festival and co-founder of London Design Biennale and is a UK Business Ambassador, appointed by successive prime ministers to help promote Britain's creative industries abroad. John was appointed CBE in 1996, was awarded the Royal Society of Arts Bicentenary Medal in 1998 and holds numerous honorary fellowships and degrees. John was awarded a knighthood in the 2008 New Year Honours List for services to the creative industries. Frances is a tour de force in her own right. She is Chancellor of the University of Westminster, London, has Honorary Fellowships from the Royal Institute of British Architects, Falmouth University, Hereford College of Arts and Plymouth College of Art. She holds Honorary Doctorates from the Open University, Coventry University and University for the Creative Arts, and has been a visiting Professor at University of the Arts London. As Creative Director at Newell and Sorrell she won over a hundred awards for creativity and effectiveness. Listen in as Vince, Sir John and Lady Frances Sorrell discuss; cold calling BP fresh out of art school and designing their exhibition stand at the Paris Air Show six weeks later, growing up on the same working-class council estate as Rod Stewart, and why you have to put your money where your mouth is if you really believe in something. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

TALK ART EXCLUSIVE! We meet Sir Antony Gormley OBE RA to discuss his forthcoming solo show 'Aerial' at White Cube New York, USA and his epic new 'Time Horizon' public installation of 100 sculptures which has just opened at Houghton Hall, Norfolk, UK. We explore his entire career across this intimate, highly detailed, feature-length special episode recorded in person at his London studio.Antony Gormley is widely acclaimed for his sculptures, installations and public artworks that investigate the relationship of the human body to space. Gormley's work is concerned with the experience of being in the world and an expression of how it feels to be alive. Through a critical engagement with his own physical existence, Gormley identifies art as a place where new behaviours, thoughts and feelings can arise. For him, art can be a place of becoming where, collectively, we can think about our role as creators of the future: ‘I want it to be about life. I want it to be about potential.'We explore his new works made for ‘Aerial', an exhibition by Antony Gormley in New York, in which the artist considers sculpture as an instrument for proprioception – the body's innate capacity to sense and perceive its position, movements and orientation in relation to itself and the environment. The exhibition features two recent developments in Gormley's practice: one explores physical proximity in mass and scale, where two over-life-size bodies merge as one, while the other endeavours to catalyse space almost without mass.Whilst 'Time Horizon', one of Antony Gormley's most spectacular large-scale installations, is currently being shown across the grounds and through the house at Houghton Hall in Norfolk. Featuring 100 life-size sculptures, the works are distributed across 300 acres of the park, the furthest away being approximately 1.5 miles on the West Avenue. The cast-iron sculptures, each weighing 620kg and standing at an average of 191cm, are installed at the same datum level to create a single horizontal plane across the landscape. Some works are buried, allowing only a part of the head to be visible, while others are buried to the chest or knees according to the topography. Only occasionally do they stand on the existing surface. Around a quarter of the works are placed on concrete columns that vary from a few centimetres high to rising four meters off the ground.Gormley was awarded the Turner Prize in 1994, the South Bank Prize for Visual Art in 1999, the Bernhard Heiliger Award for Sculpture in 2007, the Obayashi Prize in 2012 and the Praemium Imperiale in 2013. In 1997 he was made an Officer of the British Empire (OBE) and was made a knight in the New Year's Honours list in 2014. He is an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects, an Honorary Doctor of the University of Cambridge and a Fellow of Trinity and Jesus Colleges, Cambridge. Gormley has been a Royal Academician since 2003.Antony Gormley's 'Aerial' runs from 30 April – 15 June 2024 at White Cube New York.‘Time Horizon' runs concurrently at Houghton Hall, Norfolk from 21 April – 31 October 2024, the first time the work has been staged in the UK.Follow @WhiteCube and @HoughtonHallVisit: https://www.whitecube.com/gallery-exhibitions/antony-gormley-new-york-2024andhttps://www.houghtonhall.com/antony-gormleys-time-horizon-2/ Hosted on Acast.

À l'occasion de son exposition Critical Mass au Musée Rodin, l'artiste Antony Gormley dialogue avec Guitemie Maldonado, historienne de l'art et professeure aux Beaux-Arts de Paris, autour de sa pratique de sculpteur. Antony Gormley est né à Londres en 1950. Depuis plus de quarante ans, il explore les relations de l'homme à l'espace qui l'entoure à travers le corps humain. Il présente actuellement l'exposition Critical Mass au Musée Rodin (jusqu'au 3 mars 2024), dans laquelle ses œuvres dialoguent avec celles d'Auguste Rodin, invitant les visiteurs à s'interroger sur les deux sculpteurs et leur volonté commune d'utiliser le rôle du corps en tant que sujet de la sculpture mais aussi comme objet et outil de questionnement. Antony Gormley a exposé dans de nombreux musées à travers le monde, dont le Louisiana, Humlebæk (1989); la Konsthall de Malmö (1993); la Hayward Gallery, Londres (2007), le Kunsthaus de Bregenz (2010); le musée national de l'Ermitage, Saint-Pétersbourg (2011); les Deichtorhallen de Hambourg (2012); le Philadelphia Museum of Art (2019); la Royal Academy of Arts, Londres (2019); la National Gallery, Singapore (2021); le Voorlinden Museum, Wassenaar (2022); et le Lehmbruck Museum, Duisburg (2022). Il a participé à la Biennale de Venise en 1982 et 1986, et à la documenta de Kassel en 1987.

As architects, we are passionate about many subjects including the built environment, social issues, sustainability, and more. Is the focus on “activism” by our national advocates (the American Institute of Architects, and Royal Institute of British Architects) a double-edged sword? In this episode, Lance Cayko, principal of the architecture firm F9 Productions and co-host of the popular podcast Inside the Firm shares his take on the focus on activism in the architectural industry. ► Transcription: https://otter.ai/u/jvdCkvL7UlRDPOSFVqO5ToEEr_I?utm_source=copy_url ► Feedback?

O episódio tradicional do Arquicast sobre o Prêmio Pritzker deste ano de 2023 trouxe à tona a premiação do arquiteto britânico David Chipperfield. Como de praxe, o programa discutiu a composição do júri e especulou sobre as decisões tomadas. Chipperfield é um renomado arquiteto que tem trabalhado em projetos em todo o mundo, suas obras refletem uma compreensão profunda do contexto histórico e cultural dos locais em que trabalha. O arquiteto britânico é membro do Royal Institute of British Architects e membro honorário tanto do American Institute of Architects quanto do Bund Deutscher Architekten. Ele recebeu inúmeras distinções, incluindo o título de Cavaleiro pelos serviços à arquitetura no Reino Unido e na Alemanha. Em 2011, recebeu a Medalha Real de Ouro da RIBA e, em 2013, o Praemium Imperiale da Japan Art Association, ambos dados em reconhecimento por sua trajetória. Recentemente, em 2021, ele foi nomeado membro da Ordem dos Companheiros de honra por seus serviços à arquitetura. O episódio contou com a participação de Maressa Fonseca, Bruno Sarmento e Caio Dias, cada um deles trazendo uma visão específica sobre a obra de Chipperfield. Caio compartilhou histórias e bastidores da produção, Bruno leu as obras com precisão e Maressa apontou os caminhos para reflexões mais profundas. Uma das características marcantes do trabalho de Chipperfield é sua abordagem sensível à restauração e reutilização de edifícios antigos, como no caso do Neues Museum em Berlim. Neste ano, o júri citou o aspecto clássico da obra de Chipperfield, que pode ser interpretada pela sensibilidade de composição e utilização correta e harmônica dos materiais. A discussão sobre a obra de Chipperfield é valiosa para entendermos como a arquitetura pode ser sensível ao contexto cultural e histórico e, ao mesmo tempo, ser inovadora e funcional. A premiação reconhece sua contribuição para o desenvolvimento da arquitetura contemporânea e o legado que deixam para a posteridade. O episódio está disponível no YouTube em uma versão estendida, gravado em vídeo e com muitas imagens das obras que acompanham as descrições dos participantes. Até a próxima!

Summary:  In this episode, our host Adrian Ellis speaks with Vincent Chang, Deputy Chairman and Partner at Grimshaw Architects. Together, they explore the distinctive contribution of architecture. Having been with Grimshaw for over 20 years, Vincent also talks about his role managing the practice, and how vital it is for all to share a strong commitment to process – emphasizing the importance of understanding projects more holistically, as well as the butterfly effect that can happen by investing time and capital on initial concepts.  Later in the episode, Vincent shares how to create successful future developments by revisiting and observing past projects over multiple periods of time. He recognizes that architects contribute not only to the technical integration of assets but must also prioritize generating an emotional response and one's relationship with a space. Vincent talks about the importance of movement modeling when designing a space, which allow architects to understand intended paths of travel as well as ensure an adequate level of service with relation to people moving throughout an area. He states that spaces should have intuitive movement, while also allowing users to pause and observe their surroundings. Adrian and Vincent conclude the episode by speaking about the architectural legacy of the pandemic.  References: Penn Station Expansion – A commuter-first plan to transform Penn Station into a first-class transit hub that better serves passengers with more space, new retail and amenities, and improved accessibility options.

In questo audio il prezioso incontro con Massimiliano Fuksas Architetto Chiara Sbarigia presidente Istituto Luce Cinecittà.L'intervista è nel podcast Contemporaneamente di Mariantonietta Firmani, il podcast pensato per Artribune.In Contemporaneamente podcast trovate incontri tematici con autorevoli interpreti del contemporaneo tra arte e scienza, letteratura, storia, filosofia, architettura, cinema e molto altro. Per approfondire questioni auliche ma anche cogenti e futuribili. Dialoghi straniati per accedere a nuove letture e possibili consapevolezze dei meccanismi correnti: tra locale e globale, tra individuo e società, tra pensiero maschile e pensiero femminile, per costruire una visione ampia, profonda ed oggettiva della realtà.Con Massimiliano Fuksas e Chiara Sbarigia parliamo di architettura e cinema, tra spazio del corpo e luogo della mente. Parliamo della fascinazione del cinema che introduce nell'architettura concetti di montaggio, piani sequenza, molteplici punti di vista, in un percorso che accumula esperienze. L'avvento della tv mandò in crisi il cinema italiano con palinsesti saturi di film americani, così abbiamo sviluppato nuove produzioni audiovisive. Dall'osmosi tra architettura e cinema come annullamento della materia, tuta la cultura è connessione e sovversione, interazione tra idee vecchie e nuove. Una produzione cinematografica racconta la società che la esprime perciò è importante una produzione italiana ed europea. L'architettura è l'arte della pace. La meccanica quantistica determina tutte le evoluzioni tecnologiche, nell'audiovisivo come nell'architettura, a Shenzhen con ottanta algoritmi abbiamo portato la luce naturale nell'edificio. Non può esserci felicità in una società, dove metà della popolazione mondiale sopravvive per mantenere milleduecento persone, e molto altro. ASCOLTA L'INTERVISTA!

Interior designers are well respected for their creativity, but much less so for their business practices. Most design studios are micro businesses whose owners are often too busy designing to pay sufficient attention to contracts and other key project documents. So, what do designers need to do to tighten up their business practices in order to be seen as true professionals? And where can they turn to for advice? The British Institute of Interior Design in partnership with the Royal Institute of British Architects has commissioned a new, comprehensive guide to professional practice for interior designers, called ‘The BIID Project Book. The author of this publication, none other than podcast co-host, Susie Rumbold, a Past President of the BIID and Creative Director of London firm, Tessuto Interiors, joins us on the show to explain more about the project and tell us what we can find inside 'The BIID Project Book'.

While architects have had so much influence on how our cities, buildings and social spaces are constructed, their influence has not quite reached the virtual world. This is perhaps why we haven't seen examples in the Metaverse of landmarks, versatile multi purpose spaces, or places that have outlived the specific game, use case or event that it was created for. Lara Lesmes and Fredrik Hellberg of Space Popular are pioneers within the architectural field, having developed curiosity for what virtual reality will emerge to become years before anyone was talking about the Metaverse. They integrate their expertise in traditional architecture with speculative and conceptual work to help people imagine where the future may be headed. Their perspective is unique, especially for the world of consumer tech, and helps create a completely new paradigm for thinking. In the episode, we cover a breadth of fascinating topics from:The architectural point of view, and how it transitions from traditional architecture to how it should be thought about in a limitless virtual realmA vision of the future where architecture will happen at the speed of the the spoken wordWhy portals will become the one of the most common design elements moving forward, the same way cars were in the past eraABOUT THE GUESTSpace Popular is a research driven art, design, and media studio that explores the future of spatial experience through virtual reality, film, exhibitions, speculative writing, as well as buildings and objects. The studio is directed by architects Lara Lesmes and Fredrik Hellberg, both alumni of the Architectural Association in London (2011). The studio has completed buildings, exhibitions, public artworks, furniture collections, and interiors across Asia and Europe, as well as virtual architecture for the immersive internet.Clients, collaborators, and commissioners include national institutions such as MAXXI - National Museum of 21st Century Art, Rome, Italy; The Swedish Centre for Architecture and Design –ArkDes, Stockholm, Sweden; Royal Institute of British Architects, London, UK; National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul, South Korea; as well as independent galleries such as MAGAZIN, Vienna, Austria; and Sto Werkstatt, London, UK.Lesmes and Hellberg both have extensive academic experience having taught architectural design studio since 2011, first at INDA, Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok from 2021 to 2016, at the Architectural Association in London from 2016 to 2021, and currently at Daniels, Faculty of Architecture, University of Toronto sinde 2020, and UCLA Architecture and Urban Design since 2022. Their current MArch design and research studios both at Daniels and UCLA investigate visions for civic architecture in the immersive internet. SHOW NOTES[2:40] Architectural school of thought[9:10] Architecture's existing role in entertainment, gaming and creating the Metaverse[15:40] Design principles for creating virtual environments[21:50] Value assignment[25:40] Importance of speculative projects[31:10] Creation at the speed of communication[37:00] Portals will become the most common design element in the virtual era[46:10] Enabling human connections as core utility of Metaverse[51:10] How can more architects play a role in this industry?

Architect Tom Holbrook tells Linda Ness about some of the Cambridge buildings that have been honoured by the Royal Institute of British Architects.

The pandemic has changed the way we work and shop meaning a growing number of offices and retail outlets are empty. So, what do we do with them? Knock them down and start again or find a sustainable way to reuse them? The buzz word is ‘retrofit': redesigning and refurbishing an existing building. Elsie Owusu is an architect and, in this episode of Costing the Earth, she explores this current and contentious issue. It's usually cheaper to build new, so what can be done to encourage developers and architects to change their plans. She visits Selkirk House on Museum Street in London. Developers want to demolish this 1960s concrete tower-block and build something bigger in its place. Campaigners say that a vast amount of CO2 emissions would be saved it the building is retrofitted. Architect, Peter Fisher, takes Elsie to a 1950s, concrete, former print-works which is being refurbished. Just five years ago Peter says the decision would have been made to demolish but, times are changing, and by choosing retrofit CO2 emissions will be reduced by 50%. Smith Mordak takes a wider view of the debate, arguing that a cultural shift is needed across architecture and the associated disciplines. The automatic response to a design challenge of building new, or even building at all, should be rejected; there are more creative and greener ways of thinking to explore first.

US President Joe Biden signed an executive order on December 8 outlining a multi-billion-dollar plan for the federal government to achieve ‘net zero' by 2050, The Verge reports. Under the plan, the US government will switch to electric vehicles, upgrade federal buildings, and use the power of the government to shift to cleaner forms of electricity. The government will stop purchasing petrol-powered passenger cars in 2027 but would only achieve 100 percent electric vehicle purchases by 2035. Biden's order will direct the government to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 65 percent by the end of the decade before reaching full carbon neutrality by 2050. Amazon has been fined € 1.13 billion ($1.28 billion) by Italy's anti-trust regulator, CNBC reports.

Episode 30 - "Making Buildings that Change Lives for the Better; Designing for feeling, place, the past & the future” with Guy Hollaway from Hollaway Studio Guy is the Principal Partner at Hollaway Studio which is a practice that places people and feeling at the core of its philosophy of architecture. Both Guy and the practice are figureheads for architecture in the South-East of England; winning countless awards every single year which includes 7 RIBA Awards, he is the co-author of the book ‘From Now On', is a lecturer at the Royal Institute of British Architects and has had work published in the NY Times, Dezeen, Wired and the Telegraph. Today's Podcast Episode: Today we dive into the power of understanding the client, the place, the past, the community and the future; investigating how a robust understanding of these elements merged with strategic and creative design can empower and transform communities. We explore the in-depth research process Hollaway Studio undertakes to identify the history of a place, and how this unique history is communicated back through the design, so every building tells the community a story they an buy into. How to analyse and understand human behaviour of the end user to inform the design of successful buildings. How to source materials sustainably through supply chain research; and the surprising reality that locally sourced goods are not always local. We explore the ‘fine wine' concept, whereby through the careful and thoughtful selection of materials, building use and integration with the local community, how a building can get better and better with age. How to research to deliver future proof designs; analysing and forecasting macro, micro and hyper local challenges of the future specific for each development and how to integrate these challenges into the design brief to develop future proof building solutions. Incredible Projects We Discuss: Dungeness, Europe's only desert project - Pobble House Worlds first multi-storey skatepark project - F51 Folkestone Skatepark Regenerative restaurant by the sea - Rock Salt The history of horse and carts - Palamon Court Two powerful quotes from Guy which help to identify why he leads the pack: “design buildings that have a lifespan...and what I mean by that is that they can get better with age” “We are merely custodians of architecture; and architecture will outlive us” With your hosts, Adam Hinds and Jordan Relfe from the Award Winning LifeProven Wellbeing Property Consultancy and the newly launched ProjectProven delivering Project Management, Quantity Surveying, Development Management and Wellbeing Consultancy services across the UK and beyond. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/builtforlife/message

The concept of the City of the Future has been around a long time. Dozens of cities have been refashioned at some point as global centers for commerce, culture or data. What impact has the COVID-19 pandemic had on urban life? Has working at home ushered in a new era of new digital suburbs? Shoshanna Saxe, professor in civil engineering at University of Toronto, explains why the dumb parts of the smart city matter. We hear how COVID-19 highlighted inequalities in today's cities and how technology could help overcome them from Sarah Akigbogun, vice chair of Women in Architecture and Royal Institute of British Architects council member. David Emm of Kaspersky reports on how well businesses handled digital security for the work-from-home transition. Subscribe wherever you get your audio to get new episodes of Fast Forward.

A city that is good for children, is good for everyone. A concept that has begun to gain more traction as cities look to new urbanism principles to apply to their respective cities. It’s one Tim Gill, author of Urban Playground: How Child-Friendly Planning and Design Can Save Cities, has been championing since the nineties. Based in the UK, he has laid a foundation for a career in research on the topic and was the former director of Play England, a children’s play council. In Tim’s book, he asks questions like “what type of cities do we want our children to grow up in? Car-dominated, noisy, polluted, and devoid of nature? Or walkable, welcoming, and green?” He emphasizes that “as the climate crisis and urbanisation escalate, cities urgently need to become more inclusive and sustainable”. His book helps us “look at cities through the eyes of children while strengthening the case for planning and transportation policies that work for people of all ages, and for the planet”. When reviewing Tim’s book ahead of this episode, we found ourselves projecting my own childhoods onto much of what he shared in his work—an experience I think anyone might share upon reading. He invites us to look at cities through the eyes of our inner child, and revisit childhood memories of play. Tim’s book, Urban Playground: How Child-Friendly Planning and Design Can Save Cities, was published this year by the Royal Institute of British Architects. -- Design and the City, is a podcast produced by reSITE about the ways we can use design to make cities more livable and lovable. reSITE is a global non-profit and platform connecting people and ideas to improve the urban environment.

This week I speak with Nigel Husband, Director of Architecture at Z Group, the UK’s first genuine Alternative Business Structure (ABS) regulated by the SRA (Solicitors Regulation Authority), ICAEW (Institute of Chartered Accountants England and Wales) and RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects). Nigel originally took over his father’s practice before forming his own in 1986 known as Husband and Partners Architects LTD which then rebranded as Husband and Carpenter Architects and later became an LLP in 2012. H&C Architects then joined Z group in 2016 as part of an ABS (Alternative Business Structure) providing a one-stop-shop for architectural, accounting and legal services. With a wealth of experience and background knowledge from running his previous architectural practices, Nigel is seeking better ways of delivering architecture and is delighted to the extent that clients can benefit from the combined professions of architectural, accounting and legal services made possible through this unique business structure." In this episode you will discover - What is an Alternative Business Structure (ABS) and how does work for an architecture practice - How working closely with other professions can inform effective design solutions for your clients - How an ABS can be powerful approach to protecting cash flow THIS WEEK'S RESOURCES Discovery Call with Rion https://www.businessofarchitecture.co.uk/discoverycall Z Group https://www.zgrp.co.uk

In this episode, Hamza Shaikh speaks to Angela Brady, Ex-President of the Royal Institute of British Architects. It’s not often that you get to sit down with a  president of one of the world’s most influential architectural bodies. She was elected in 2011 and was the 2nd ever woman to serve as a president for the RIBA in its 100-year history.Now, I didn’t hold back from asking Angela the difficult questions. We spoke about gender inequality and debated about how filling quotas is a really bad idea. We also spoke about unpaid internships and discussed the deteriorating mental health of students.This episode is really special because  Angela has a powerful and motivating aura about her. I learned so many things from her including how the RIBA doesn’t get everything right - but also, how to take charge of your problems and how to be more confident as a student…You’re listening to episode 6 of the Two Worlds Design podcast and I’m your host, Hamza Shaikh

Paul Hyett, RIBA, and Honorary Fellow of AIA, is an independent consultant practicing out of London. He was formerly President of the Royal Institute of British Architects and Principal with HKS architects for 20 years.

COVID-19 is an x-ray of racial injustice, inequality, and ineffectual government as well as a rehearsal for climate catastrophe. It exposes a modern mind that maintains the myth of solutions, newness, freedom, and universals. That mind gives authority to new digital technologies, econometrics, and law, to segregate and eliminate problems. COVID graphically models the productive entanglement between problems as well as forms for re-tuning and redesigning those entanglements. Interplay itself is the form—protocols of interplay that resist solutions or modular methodologies. Unfolding over time and indeterminate in order to be practical, they generate lumpy mixtures of different kinds of artifacts in space. Consider design protocols that deal with, among many other things, automation, migration, police defunding, cooperative land tenure, coastal retreat, reforestation and compounding reparations. SPEAKERSKeller Easterling is an architect, writer and professor at Yale. Her most recent book, Extrastatecraft: The Power of Infrastructure Space (Verso, 2014), examines global infrastructure as a medium of polity. A recently published e-book essay titled Medium Design (Strelka Press, 2018) previews a forthcoming book of the same title. Medium Design inverts an emphasis on object and figure to prompt innovative thought about both spatial and non-spatial problems. Other books include: Enduring Innocence: Global Architecture and its Political Masquerades (MIT, 2005) which researched familiar spatial products in difficult or hyperbolic political situations around the world. Organization Space: Landscapes, Highways and Houses in America (MIT, 1999) which applied network theory to a discussion of American infrastructure, and Subtraction (Sternberg, 2014), which considers building removal or how to put the development machine into reverse. Easterling is a 2019 United States Artist Fellow in Architecture and Design. She was also the recipient of the 2019 Blueprint Award for Critical Thinking. Her MANY project, an online platform facilitating migration through an exchange of needs, was exhibited at the 2018 Venice Architecture Biennale. Her research and writing on the floor comprised one of the elements in Rem Koolhaas's Elements exhibition for the 2014 Venice Biennale. Easterling is also the co-author (with Richard Prelinger) of Call it Home: The House that Private Enterprise Built, a laserdisc/DVD history of US suburbia from 1934–1960. She has published web installations including: Extrastatecraft, Wildcards: a Game of Orgman and Highline: Plotting NYC. Easterling has exhibited at Henry Art Gallery, the Istanbul Design Biennale, Storefront for Art and Architecture, the Rotterdam Biennale, the Queens Museum and the Architectural League. Easterling has lectured and published widely in the United States and abroad. The journals to which she has contributed include Domus, Artforum, Grey Room, Cabinet, Volume, Assemblage, e-flux, Log, Praxis, Harvard Design Magazine, Perspecta, and ANY. Shumi Bose is a teacher, curator and editor based in London. She is a senior lecturer in history and theory of architecture at Central Saint Martins, and teaches Critical and Historical Studies at the Royal College of Art. She is also curator of exhibitions at the Royal Institute of British Architects. Exhibitions include Freestyle: Architectural Adventures in Mass Media, a RIBA commission by Space Popular, currently on both virtual and shuttered physical display, and Conservatism, or The Long Reign of Pseudo Georgian Architecture, with Pablo Bronstein in 2017. . Shumi co-curated Home Economics at the British Pavilion, for the 15th Venice Biennale of Architecture in 2016, exploring the future of the home through a series of 1:1 domestic proposals. In 2012, she was curatorial collaborator and publications editor for Sir David Chipperfield on Common Ground, the 13th Venice Biennale of Architecture. Shumi has held editorial positions at Blueprint, Strelka Press, Afterall, Volume and the Architects’ Journal, and contributes to titles including PIN UP, Metropolis and Avery Review. In 2015, she co-founded the publication Real Review, currently run by Jack Self. Recent publications include Spatial Practices: Modes of Action and Engagement with the City (ed. Mel Dodd, Routledge, 2019), Home Economics (The Spaces, 2016), Places for Strangers (with mæ architects, Park Books, 2014) and Real Estates (with Fulcrum, Bedford Press, 2014).

Juggling a career and family life is never easy. Especially when you are one of the most sought after practitioners in your field.   But some are skilled enough to manage it - like today’s guest, Andrew Moore.   Andrew tells us all about his approach to the holy grail of achieving a healthy work-life balance and how he came to practice from a jealousy-inducing architectural gem.   He also talks about the buzz he gets from teaching and a case that made a dramatic impact on his patient’s life.   Enjoy!   “The key thing if you want to develop a practice is to get good at normal dentistry. Because you will need those skills. You need to see people. You don't go straight in. And I'm not saying you shouldn't have ambition, but I think sometimes you have to learn to deal with people before you start.” - Andrew Moore   About Andrew Moore Andrew Moore graduated from Royal London Dental Hospital and quickly established a name as one of the UK’s leading cosmetic dentists. He has postgraduate training in orthodontics and oral surgery and holds a diploma in implant dentistry. Andrew is the owner of Advance Dental Clinic from where he holds remedial dental training.

Staging Magic in English Catholic College Drama Ushaw Lecture by Professor Alison Shell (University College London) --About the Lecture Dramatised magic was popular in early modern theatre, and never more so than within the dramatic corpus of the English Catholic colleges set up in continental Europe after the Reformation. Many of these colleges were controlled by the Jesuit order, who played a major role in developing stage technology in this era. Written for performance by the young scholars at these colleges, these plays constitute a kind of children’s literature, and frequently draw on magical themes. They have a didactic message, pitting devil-worshippers against followers of Christ, and the fantastic element must also have appealed to the schoolboy imagination. Audiences of these popular civic events, whether or not they could understand the Latin in which the plays were performed, would have enjoyed the opportunity for spectacle provided by maguses and conjuring tricks. This lecture is organised by the Institute of Medieval and Early Modern Studies and the Centre for Catholic Studies, Durham University, in conjunction with Ushaw College. --About the Speaker Alison Shell was educated at the North London Collegiate School and Oxford University (B.A./M.A. and D.Phil.). After a period as Rare Books Curator at the Royal Institute of British Architects, Alison became a British Academy Post-Doctoral Fellow at UCL between 1994 and 1997. Her first permanent academic post was at the University of Durham, where she worked between 1997 and 2010. Alison is an editor for the Pontifical Institute of Medieval Studies’ series ‘Catholic and Recusant Texts in Early Modern England’. She reviews for the Times Literary Supplement, the Church Times and a number of academic journals. --About the Ushaw Lecture Series The Ushaw Lecture Series celebrates the cultural and research significance of the remarkable bibliographical, archival and material-cultural collections at Ushaw, and the wider history of which they are expressions. The lectures cover music, art, drama, poetry and literature, architecture, material-culture, politics, science and theology.

We’re 40! How did that happen? We grew up so quickly….. It doesn’t seem like two minutes ago that Bradley and I recorded the first, very shaky and nervous, episode back in January 2018. A lot has changed since then.Outerfocus started as a way to introduce some photography history, in an easily digestible manner, and to have conversations with photographers, about photography. The two things that helped me most with my own photography were: An understanding of where photography came from, and, what drove photographers to practice. Although the photography history aspect of the podcast has dwindled somewhat in the past few months, I feel the conversations are becoming stronger, and that takes us on to the, ‘why’. The, ‘why’, is what helped me to understand myself and the world around me. I learned more about photography by understanding the philosophies of photographers than I did by looking at their photographs. It made me realise that the idea is important, and the photograph is just a consequence of our study and practice. Maybe not for everyone, but that’s how I came to understand it and it fundamentally changed me as a human being. It also freed me from not just the constraints of industry expectations, but societal expectations, too. So, Happy 40th to Outerfocus! I hope that me passing on some of what I think is important in photography, and life, can raise some questions and create some new ideas for you. I’m not doing this alone mind you. The guests are adding their own unique perspective to the Outerfocus archive, and I’m still learning, a lot, and long may that continue.I expect you all know of the photographers that had an influence on me, but there are some that never really get a mention. Mostly because the genres they work in don’t come up in conversation too frequently. I mean, name one architectural photographer…….I could easily name a few, but that’s because it’s something I have a great interest in. I know who the first one would be, though, and when it comes to individuality there aren’t many better than the rather exceptional, Hélène Binet.Hélène is a Swiss-French architectural photographer living in London, and she is one of the leading architectural photographers in the world. Best known for her work with architects Daniel Libeskind, Peter Zumthor and Zaha Hadid, she has published books on works of several architects. She is the recipient of many awards over her 30+ year career including an Honorary Fellowship of Royal Institute of British Architects, 2008.Most recently she was honored with the Julius Shulman Institute Excellence in Photography Award in 2015, The Ada Louise Huxtable Prize 2019 ..........Full show notes -

Roma, the black and white Mexican film about a young domestic worker in Mexico City in the 1970s, won Best Film at the Baftas on Sunday and is up for the same at the Oscars. The film's producer, Gabriela Rodriguez, talks about the background to director Alfonso Cuarón's personal project which draws on his own childhood, and discusses their working relationship. The death has been announced of the acclaimed author Andrea Levy.
