Podcasts about brutalism

Field trip time! No permission slip needed. This week I'm sharing my recent tour of the Barbican Estate in London. In this episode we're going to cover: How the US and UK approach to housing supply differed during the mid-century. What that means for our national philosophies on homeownership. Why these differing approaches led to such vastly different landscapes, economic patterns, and modes of transit in each country.Find the full show notes plus all the bits and bobs at https://www.midmod-midwest.com/2105.Want us to create your mid-century master plan?

This week on The Kulturecast, we unpack The Brutalist — a visually arresting, emotionally layered film that blends architecture, identity, and postwar displacement. We dive into its moody aesthetics, deliberate pacing, and the story it builds, brick by brick.For more Kulturecast episodes and podcasts guaranteed to be your new favorite audio obsession, check out Weirding Way Media at weirdingwaymedia.com.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kulturecast--2883470/support.

In this episode of High Theory Nasser Mufti talks with us about Brutalism. A twentieth century architectural style featuring imposing structures made of a lot of concrete, brutalist structures tend to provoke strong reactions. People either love it or they hate it – you never get a middling conversation about brutalism. Often used for government buildings, university libraries, and hospitals, Nasser suggests it represents the architecture of the state itself, massive bureaucratic structures in which we get lost, but also perhaps, nostalgia for a state that actually takes care of its citizens. Before we recorded the episode, Nasser sent me this article about the Brutalist campus at the University of Illinois where he works, which is full of beautiful black and white images. In the episode he refers to a line in Charles Dickens's Bleak House (1853), which describes Chesney Wold as “seamed by time.” And he reminds us that verb form “decolonizing” is quite new, even Ngũgĩ Wa Thiong'o Decolonizing the Mind: The Politics of Language in African Literature (1986) only uses the gerund in the title. The neologism “decolonizing” is distinct from the world historical project of decolonization and the historiographic method of decolonial analysis that comes from Latin American studies. Nasser Mufti is an associate professor of English at the University of Illinois, Chicago, where his research and teaching focuses on nineteenth century British and postcolonial literature and theory. He is especially interested in literary approaches to the study of nationalism. His first book, Civilizing War: Imperial Politics and the Poetics of National Rupture (Northwestern University Press, 2018) argues that narratives of civil war energized and animated nineteenth-century British imperialism and decolonization in the twentieth century. You can read it online, open access, which is pretty damn cool! He is working on two new projects, the first, tentatively titled Britain's Nineteenth Century, 1963-4, looks at how anticolonial and postcolonial thinkers from the Anglophone world turned to nineteenth century British literature and culture as a way to think decolonization. The second, titled “Colonia Moralia,” examines the dialectics of postcolonial Enlightenment through comparative readings of T.W. Adorno and V.S. Naipaul. The image for this episode is a photograph of Boston City Hall, a Brutalist building mentioned in the episode. The black and white photograph shows an interior courtyard of the building, a large concrete structure with many windows, located at One City Hall Square, Boston, Suffolk County, MA.

Brutalism had its heyday 60 years ago, but this polarizing style of architecture is back in the spotlight. At the Oscars, Adrien Brody won Best Actor for his performance of a Brutalist architect. In Washington, President Trump has re-issued an executive order deploring Brutalism. And in southeastern Massachusetts, our reporter Ben Berke brings us this story about a Brutalist college campus designed by a celebrated architect whose buildings are disappearing across the country.

On this episode of Send Me Some Stuff, Cameron and Rob explore the most recent email from Elon that shook the federal government, the "deeply online" origins of MAGA 2.0, President Trump's favorite and least favorite forms of architecture, and more. Listen to more Send Me Some Stuff podcasts from our team wherever you get your podcasts.

Yves Robic a rencontré l'urbaniste Aglaé Degros pour réfléchir à comment aborder le milieu rural aujourd'hui comme un espace à part entière et éviter ainsi son délitement et sa suburbanisation. Préservation d'espaces naturels mutualisés, mobilité adaptée et justice territoriale sont les enjeux de cette nouvelle ruralité. Il s'intéresse ensuite, avec Audrey Contesse de l'ICA (Institut Culturel d'Architecture Wallonie-Bruxelles), au film Les Nouvelles Ruralités, réalisé par Camille Van Durme. Une exploration des territoires ruraux de Wallonie. Architecte et photographe, Pierrick de Stexhe a sillonné la Belgique pour capturer les principaux édifices du brutalisme, construits entre 1950 et 1980. Fabrice Kada l'a rencontré autour de son livre "Brutalism in Belgium", édité par Prisme Éditions.

"Publi Fluor" est un essai collectif autour du travail de Chrystel Crickx, qui découpait à la main et vendait à la pièce des lettres dans son magasin à Schaerbeek, entre 1975 et 2000. Le Groupe de recherche Crickx rassemble des artistes et des enseignants. En une trentaine d'années, la collectionneuse Astrid Ullens de Schooten Whettnall a rassemblé quelque 5500 photographies d'une centaine de photographes. Une sélection de sa collection a été présentée récemment aux Rencontres d'Arles sous le commissariat d'Urs Stahel. La collection se décline aujourd'hui en un beau livre : "SAGA. Une vie d'art et de regards, de Lewis Baltz à Tarrah Krajnak" (Ludion / Fondation A). Les photographes Alain Janssens, Jean-Marie Lecomte et Yves Leresche ont suivi la Meuse depuis sa source à Pouilly-en-Bassigny jusqu'à son embouchure en mer du Nord près de Rotterdam. Leurs images et les textes de Gilles Grandpierre composent "La Meuse, rives et récits", deux livres publiés par les éditions Noires Terres. Architecte et photographe, Pierrick de Stexhe a sillonné la Belgique pour capturer les principaux édifices du brutalisme, construits entre 1950 et 1980. Réalisées en noir et blanc avec une chambre technique grand format, ses images témoignent d'une histoire récente de notre architecture. "Brutalism in Belgium" est édité par Prisme Éditions.

IDLES 2021 Rig Rundown: https://youtu.be/ZyofmA3bJk4Subscribe to PG's Channel: http://bit.ly/SubscribePGYouTubeBetween 2016 and 2024, Bristol outfit IDLES have gone from being snarling, post-punk underdogs to being snarling, post-punk champions. Their debut LP, Brutalism, was an immediate hit, and since then they've turned out a string of full-length records that have expanded their creative vocabulary while increasing their popularity. It's all come to a head this year with Tangk, their Grammy-nominated fifth album, which dropped in February.Along the way, IDLES' sound has mutated into experimental offshoots and outgrowths, so it's little surprise that the rigs of guitarists Mark Bowen and Lee Kiernan, along with bassist Adam Devonshire, have done the same. While they still tour with some of the gear they showed off on our 2021 Rig Rundown, each player has fun new trinkets that contribute to their run of shows this year. But even with all the new toys, they keep an element of danger in the mix, and certain variables mean the set sounds different every night: “People come to see an IDLES show 'cause it almost falls apart all the time,” grins Bowen.IDLES 2021 Rig Rundown: https://youtu.be/ZyofmA3bJk4Subscribe to PG's Channel: http://bit.ly/SubscribePGYouTubeWin Guitar Gear: https://bit.ly/GiveawaysPG Don't Miss a Rundown: http://bit.ly/RIgRundownENLMerch & Magazines: https://shop.premierguitar.comPG's Facebook: https://facebook.com/premierguitarPG's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/premierguitar/PG's Twitter: https://twitter.com/premierguitarPG's Threads: https://threads.net/@premierguitarPG's TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@premierguitar0:00 - Electronic Audio Experiments & D'Addario0:15 - IDLES Live0:39 - Chris Kies Intro0:59 - Mark Bowen's Baritone Stratocasters5:37 - Mark Bowen's "Stinky" 1972 Strat7:43 - Mark Bowen's Amps & Cabinets10:14 - Mark Bowen's Fender Mustang with Fishman TriplePlay12:57 - Mark Bowen's "Crawler" Pedal & Synth Rig16:17 - Recreating Tangk Album Live Onstage20:10 - Mark Bowen's Sonic Curiousity22:19 - Does Joe Talbot Get Tired of Gear Experimentation?23:17 - Working with Nigel Godrich on Tangk25:14 - Lee Kiernan Intro25:45 - Lee Kiernan's Fender 70th Anniversary Esquire27:54 - Lee Kiernan's Fender Mustang29:55 - Lee Kiernan's Jackson Soloist SL132:12 - Lee Kiernan's Amps33:20 - Lee Kiernan's Marshall 1987X Plexi35:34 - Lee Kiernan's Hiwatt Custom DR8836:35 - Lee Kiernan's 1970s Peavey Deuce40:00 - Rig Rundown & D'Addario40:23 - Lee Kiernan's Pedalboard40:55 - Lee Kiernan's Pedals for "Jungle"45:57 - Lee Kiernan's Pedals for "Dancer"50:41 - Lee Kiernan's New Earthquaker Devices Gary Pedal55:39 - Lee Kiernan's Baritone Esquire56:36 - Lee Kiernan's Pedals for "Roy"01:03:00 - Adam Devonshire Intro01:03:44 - Adam Devonshire's Fender American Ultra Jazz Bass01:04:38 - Adam Devonshire on IDLES Gear Evolution01:06:15 - Adam Devonshire on Holding Down Rhythm with Jon Beavis01:07:07 - Adam Devonshire on Bass Influences01:08:19 - Adam Devonshire Custom Neck for Jazz Bass01:09:30 - Adam Devonshire on Recreating Tangk Onstage01:11:25 - Adam Devonshire's 1970s Fender Precision Bass01:14:25 - Adam Devonshire's Serek Lincoln Bass01:16:04 - Adam Devonshire's Fender & Hiwatt Amps01:17:08 - Adam Devonshire's Pedalboard01:24:55 - D'Addario Strings[Brought to you by D'Addario: https://ddar.io/wykyk-rr]© Copyright Gearhead Communications LLC, 2024#guitar #rigrundown #idles #guitarist #guitarplayer #guitargear #bass #bassguitar

Brutalist architecture has been celebrated as monumental and derided as ‘concrete monstrosity.' But the people who depend on these buildings are often caught in between. IDEAS explores the implications of Brutalism's 21st-century hipster aesthetic in a world of housing challenges, environmental crisis, and economic polarization.

This month, we are discussing ugly despised *interesting* buildings. We all have something we love even though everyone else hates it. For Rae, that love is for Split Levels. For Andi, it's Brutalism. In this episode we will try to convince you that we are not crazy, and maybe even convert you. You'll learn about the origins of these buildings and we'll discuss their pros and cons. So, are you #teamsplitlevel, #teambrutalism, or perhaps #teamyouarebothcrazy? Let us know! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Most people are not fans of brutalism, the 20th century architectural style known for strewing blocky concrete buildings around D.C. So we talked with the curators of Capital Brutalism, a new exhibit at the Building Museum, about how D.C. became a showcase of brutalism — and why the buildings have a future here.  Want some more DC news?

I'm Josh Cooperman and this is Convo By Design with a conversation about architecture. Modern architecture, large and small but all spectacular with architect Scott Specht of Specht Novak Architects. Designer Resources Pacific Sales Kitchen and Home. Where excellence meets expertise. Monogram - It's the details that define Monogram ThermaSol - Redefining the modern shower experience. Without steam, it's just a bathroom. Design Hardware - A stunning and vast collection of jewelry for the home! - Where service meets excellence TimberTech - Real wood beauty without the upkeep On a recent city visit to Kansas City, I bought a book in a used bookstore. The book is called The Paris Architect. Published in 2013 by Charles Balfoure. It takes place in 1942 Paris and revolves around an architect and creative architecture used to save Jews from the Nazis. Of course there is more to it and perhaps I will give it the full Booklook treatment at some point. That is for another day, but it got me thinking about the Bauhaus, modern architecture in all its  wonderful forms from France's Art Deco, German Bauhaus and Brutalism through concrete forms. It also got me thinking about creative ways architecture can and is used to make life better for those who inhabit, live, work, love in these spaces. I had a conversation with Scott Specht of Specht Novak Architects and we discuss all of this. Specht's work and that of his firm is exceptional examples of Modern Architecture at its absolute best. Per usual, we walk through Scott's projects so check the show notes for a link to their project page and follow along. Everything from the sublime Weston Residence in Connecticut to the fun and funky Carpenter Hotel in Austin. From the Austin Cliffside Residence which is an absolute specimen in creative use of space to the experimental, Next American House. You are going to enjoy the ride. I guarantee it. And you are going to hear all about it, right after this.   Thank you, Scott. Amazing. I enjoyed our conversation and cannot wait to see the Next American Home in person. Thank you to my partner sponsors, ThermaSol, Pacific Sales, TimberTech, Monogram and Design Hardware. These partners are amazing companies all who have made a concerted effort to support the design community through education, incentives, events, media and exposure, not to mention a collection of extraordinary products and service to match. Check the show notes for links to each of them so you can see first hand how they can make your design business thrive and your projects exceed expectations. Thank you for listening, downloading, subscribing and sharing the show with your friends and colleagues. Thank you for your emails, show and guest suggestions. Please keep them coming, convobydesign at Outlook dot com and on Instagram @ConvoXdesign, with an “x”.  Until the next episode, be well and take today first. -Convo By Design    

Night rain, as it falls onto a quiet suburban garden, has a cool and spacious sound-feel. It seems to help focus the mind's eye onto the presence of objects and surfaces that without the rain would simply not exist, to the ear. Even to the eye, in such murky darkness, these objects and surfaces are not things that make sense in and of themselves. This nocturnal suburban soundscape, stippled with falling droplets, reverberates with the ever-present ever wide city rumble. City rumble is not a warm nor a cold sound, and has no shape other than always to be the same shape. It's always there. Always present. Permeates every inch of outdoor space with a steady unchanging and strangely indeterminate aural glow. It has something to do with all the buildings. Something to do with all the distant machines that whirr and whine as we travel about, keep warm, keep cool, keep moving. Something to do with urban life. A little back garden in North East London is such an ordinary place from a soundscape perspective. There is nothing here to peek the interest in conventional terms. You'd probably never hear a place like this through any normal broadcast audio channel. And so the idea of a quiet soundscape, a quiet brutalist soundscape, made of layers of indeterminate aural glows, echoes of indeterminate activity, reverberances of empty spaces under a wide an empty sky, must make its indeterminate way to the edgeland of the audio world. And that is here. On Lento. A quiet brutalist soundscape from one rainy night in March.

John is joined by IDLES' Bowen, along with producer Kenny Beats, and producer and engineer Mikko Gordon, to talk about how they wrote, recorded and produced the album ‘TANGK'. Idles are a British post-punk band who gained recognition with their 2017 debut album ‘Brutalism'. Known for their gritty, powerful sound and explosive live shows, their five albums to date have earned them nominations for the Mercury Prize, BRIT & Grammy Awards. Their latest record, ‘TANGK', sees the band team up with producers Nigel Godrich and Kenny Beats, and digs into topics of love and gratitude, all while maintaining their signature Idles energy. Linking up between Kenny's LA studio and Mikko's London studio, the trio discuss how they utilised the different strands of experience and expertise from all involved. As well as dubious covers and Christmas day demos, they share stories of writing team breakouts and the unexpected moments that came when they drew inspiration beyond their usual domains.  Tracks discussed: Roy, A Gospel, POP POP POP TAPE IT Thanks to our friends at Tape It for supporting the podcast.

Alec Stewart wrote us a profound email on addiction and design a couple years ago (we've shared it below). Both of us had known of Alec at RISD, where he studied as an undergrad during our time as graduate students. At the time he possessed a great energy and creativity that we found envious. We had little idea he was also struggling with addiction and great inner turmoil all the while. A now sober and radically open Stewart shares his path to recovery and how he maintains his sobriety despite the never ending threat of a relapse. The surprising thing about Alec's story is how relevant his struggles are to the unhealthy trappings and myths of design practice and the cycle of self loathing and burnout from overworking. Our obsession and addiction to long hours and “passion” are truly destructive to our health and well being. We're dangerously committed to a belief that creativity comes from struggle and that greatness only comes by going over the edge. Alec shares his discovery of this falsehood, and also discusses how he inversely applies design thinking to create boundaries for himself and his life.We're super thankful for Alec for being so open and direct with us. He brings his humor and wit to a difficult story. We can't thank him enough. Disclaimer: This episode contains accounts of addiction and substance abuse. If you or someone you love is struggling with addiction or substance abuse, please visit usa.gov/substance-abuse for resources and support. Help is out there.—ALEC STEWART -On understanding addiction, radical sobriety & brutalist designTo begin - I will introduce myself in the manner of AA: Hello my name is Alec and I'm an Alcoholic. I suffer from addiction - it's a fact and I am not afraid to admit that. It's a part of who I am and the more I begin to understand my own addiction, the easier those words come. Where before I was ashamed to admit my own struggles, now I feel relief to tell people who I really am. A lot of that initial shame came from the incredible amount of negative connotations that surround Addiction. In western culture it is often looked down upon as a moral failing, a deficiency of character. I personally see it as a disease. Something that needs to be continuously treated, healed, and rehabilitated. There's nothing wrong with having addiction, it merely is. I suffer from the disease of alcoholism, just as someone else may suffer from diabetes. When you take Alcoholism, and consider it in the lens of disease, you can analyze its symptoms like any other health condition. To define the symptoms of Alcoholism is tricky. Alcoholism is complicated and multifaceted, both highly personal and universal. I think there's several overarching principles that every alcoholic shares when in active addiction: uncontrollable compulsion, self-isolation, attachment, ego, and an inability to love oneself. I am happy to expand on any of these symptoms and its relation if needed. I also believe, you don't need to be addicted to Alcohol to be considered an Alcoholic. I think there are base symptoms of the disease in people who've never touched a drop of alcohol. Addiction can manifest in many ways. With designers for example, it can appear as an addiction to work. This is a super common reality for designers. Many of us throw ourselves into work at the expense of ourselves. Forgoing our basic needs in order to keep designing. Burning out our burnout. That compulsion to work and keep working is not any different than the compulsion to drink. They are both incredibly unhealthy, and they both need to be treated. I think when we overwork ourselves, we lean into the symptoms of compulsion, attachment, and ego. We work obsessively, we attach to our designs / ideas / inspirations / whatever, we sacrifice ourselves to be the best - craving the respect of our peers over the contentment of where we are. Yuck. You'd be hard pressed to find a designer that hasn't dwelled in one of these symptoms. The only way to mitigate these symptoms is through sobriety. Sobriety is not just abstinence from a substance, it's a way of being. It's admitting oneself is powerless over the disease and figuring out a healthier way of living. There's a guide to it in AA called the 12 steps. They are written in relation to Alcoholism, but they still are a pretty decent thing to work through - whether you struggle with alcohol addiction or not.Outside of the 12 steps, my personal sobriety involves a lot of guard rails, a grid system applied to my life. These involve various ways for me to avoid triggers and mitigate compulsions. Some days I'm successful, some days I'm not. I just figure it out one day at a time. They are all involved in making sure I maintain a healthy mind, body, and soul. My significant other and I have a mantra: The best way to tell someone you love them is to love yourself. The best way to take care of someone is to take care of yourself. I apply the personal responsibility of taking care of myself everyday, so I have the ability to take care of those around me.To give an example of one of my guardrails - I no longer allow myself to have social media. I deleted my instagram. I realized I was using my instagram to find validation for my work through others, validation I couldn't give myself. I thought that if others liked my work they inversely liked me too. Super twisted, backwards way of thinking. I still struggle with making work for myself. It's hard for me to detach from the approval of my peers and try to allow myself the grace to give myself that approval. That is all rooted in the inability to love myself.My personal design practice is also rooted in my sobriety. Both in the design movement I work within, and how I use design in relation to my mental well being. My personal practice in graphic design is in Brutalism. I see brutalism as truthful. It presents itself as it is - no frills, no gimmicks, no bullshit. It's starkness holds honesty. That rigorous honesty is necessary for me in every aspect of my life in order to maintain abstinence from alcohol, so it also makes sense that I would apply that same honesty to my design practice as well.In relation to my mental well being, I use my designs to filter my compulsions. I take the thoughts I am obsessing over and apply them to my designs. You can directly see how my work visually changes depending on my mental health. The more manic and unhealthy I am, the more chaotic and out of control my designs become. My computer screen is a mirror for me to see how upside down and inside out I am at any given time. That said, I will addictively design if given the opportunity too. Anything healthy, I can make unhealthy on the flip of a dime. This whole year I have been actively practicing stepping away from the screen. After designing for a decade, I am still trying to figure out how to work in a healthy manner. My hope is that one day I can be happy enough with what I make, that I won't have to make at all.In the manner of AA, I think we should end with a prayer -Grant me the serenity to accept Photoshop crashes, the courage to not name my files FINAL_FINAL_FINAL, and the will to not burn myself out - AmenRelated info I did not include in the above write up that I can talk about if you want me too:I have been placed on adult time out twice. I have done both an intensive impatient program, and a detox. I have been an alcoholic since college. I have done IOP, AA, and all the Jazz. I am happy to explain them or my experiences with them. I can talk about how fucking luny rehab is, how much I drank to end up in rehab, or the absolute cartoon characters of human beings I've met in rehab. I can clarify any AA lingo or address its weird roots in christianity. I can talk about relapses, prolonged amounts of sobriety, or anything in-between. Basically anything related to me being an utter goofball of a human and a digital cowboy of a designer I'm happy to touch upon.Thanks for reading - Cheers!

Hey all! Welcome to another episode of Mr. P.'s Tales from the Road! In this edition, we head back to the City of Brotherly Love to find out about how the future once looked like to the eyes of those designing it in the 1970's, via a controversial yet intriguing style of architecture called BRUTALISM. It's not all dry history here; I promise the tale leads somewhere, as by the end, I'll be telling tales of the best example of abandoned Brutalism I've ever had the opportunity explore and document; the infamous Pepper Middle School in Philadelphia, PA! Tales told and history abounds, so procure an icy cola of your choice, make yourself a cold-cut sandwich with some Swiss cheese on top, listen in and enjoy the show!

In this next episode of ON CITIES, host Carie Penabad speaks with architect and educator, Mark Pasnik on his co-authored book: Heroic: Concrete Architecture and the New Boston. The conversation explores the post-war architectural movement (commonly referred to as Brutalism) and the groundbreaking concrete structures that re-imagined the City of Boston during the 1960s and 1970s. Beyond a mere architectural trend, this period reflects an urban transformation driven by public investment, resulting in a diverse array of civic, cultural, and academic landmarks that epitomize concrete modernism. The discussion unveils some of the era's most iconic structures, like the Boston City Hall and Harvard's Carpenter Center, while tackling the period's troubled urban histories and the challenges of preserving these landmarks in the face of contemporary pressures for development and renovation. Tune in Friday at 11:00 AM EST, 8:00 AM PST on the Voice America Variety Channel and connect to all previous episodes on Apple iTunes, Spotify or your favorite podcast platform.

Why would we want to discuss brutalism and mid-century modern architecture with an architect and two engineers? Because we believe in learning about approaching art and design from a variety of perspectives and backgrounds. Brutalism seemed like a perfect fit for us to bring in experts and find where connections could be found and also how we see art differently. Our hope is that listeners will be inspired to step outside their comfort zones and start having discussions of their own with people with different perspectives and expertise. We all walked away from our discussion with broader understandings of brutalism, and hopefully, you will too. In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Becky Bloom, Assistant Director of Curatorial Affairs at SUMA, Dr. Matthew Roberts SUU Associate Dean of the College of Engineering and Computational Sciences, Mark Harris Structural Engineer and Senior Principal with Reaveley Engineers, and Chad Neilson CEO, Design Principal, MHTN Architects.

As Pakistan's first female architect, Yasmeen Lari left a major imprint on the country's visual identity, with modern buildings like the Finance and Trade Centre, the Taj Mahal Hotel in Karachi, and the Pakistan State Oil Head Office. But her career later took a turn from working for the powerful few, towards assisting the most vulnerable members of society. She now focuses on the intersection of architecture, environmental activism and social justice, working to build sustainable structures for displaced people and helping to set up self-sufficient economies. She calls her approach Barefoot Social Architecture. The Museum wishes to thank The Hilary and Galen Weston Foundation for their generous support of This Being Human.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Architectural historian Owen Hopkins has written or edited 16 books on architecture and his stories have appeared in Architectural Design, Dezeen, the Independent, and Blueprint, among many others. A graduate of the Courtauld Institute in London, Owen has served as architectural program curator at the Royal Academy of Arts, senior curator at Sir John Soane's Museum, and now the director of Newcastle University's new Farrell Centre. His latest book is about brutalism, those large concrete buildings many people love and King Charles and critics Roger Scruton and Dr. J. S. Curl and Justin Shubow hate hate hate hate hate.  Did we mention hate? As the book points out, Brutalist architecture inspires a passionate response, be it adulation or contempt. There's lots of both to go around.  Later on, music from some great architects, and their IT buddy, in a group called Poinsettia.

Prior to Lee's controversial cancellation, his paintings have won awards from George Washington University, the Korean Artists Association, the Corcoran Gallery of Art and the inaugural title of 'Artist of the Year' by the Eileen Kaminsky Family Foundation. Often regarded as the Artist of the Manosphere or the counterculture painter, Lee's hasty success in the NYC art industry was abruptly halted after his public stance against radical Leftism and his declaration of Christian art as the peak of aesthetic culture in the West. Prior to developing his passion for painting, Lee was a Division One athlete who placed in the US Tae Kwon Do Nationals for three consecutive years and continues to deliver this martial intensity into his dynamic style. The resulting compositions attest to an artist who uses his entire body to paint symbolically evocative works that contain oblique references to our definitions on masculinity, aesthetics and reverence. Luminous colors, gestural expressionism, and philosophical acumen bring a refreshing sentiment to the one-sided art industry that draws our sometimes compartmentalized and fractured times into a synthetic, representative whole. In a time when the mainstream narrative is shamelessly mocking the religion of Christ, Lee has currently launched a powerful Biblical Series of epic proportions titled From Creation to Resurrection—twelve large-scale, visually stunning paintings to revitalize Christianity. Upon its completion, Arthur will be embarking on a visual exhibition tour across our country specifically targeting the most woke and degenerate cities to walk further into the belly of the beast.

The term “polymath” is unquestionably overused, and often just plain wrong, but it suits the multi-hyphenate British designer, creative director, and artist Samuel Ross, whose hard-to-pin-down practice spans high fashion, streetwear, painting, sculpture, installation, stage design, sound design, product and furniture design, experimental film, and street art. Best known for founding the Brutalism-tinged fashion label A-Cold-Wall, which sits at the nexus of streetwear and high fashion, and for his work, earlier in his career, with the late Virgil Abloh, Ross also runs the industrial design studio SR_A and has collaborated with brands including Nike, Converse, and Timberland. On this week's episode of Time Sensitive, he talks about notions of ritual, essence, and alchemy; how his work straddles the line between the organic and the synthetic; and why he always thinks in threes.Special thanks to our Season 7 sponsor, Van Cleef & Arpels.Show notes: [03:59] “Samuel Ross: Coarse” at Friedman Brenda[06:41] Glenn Adamson[22:48] Hettie Judah's Lapidarium: The Secret Lives of Stones[27:45] Vitsoe 606 Shelving System[30:46] Virgil Abloh[37:02] “Samuel Ross: Land” at White Cube[42:05] Rhea Dillon[46:24] Sondra Perry's Typhoon Coming On[46:43] Christina Sharpe's In the Wake[46:46] Saidiya Hartman's Wayward Lives, Beautiful Experiments[50:30] Steve McQueen's Small Axe[52:41] John Berger[58:19] 2wnt4[58:53] Pyrex Vision[58:55] Kanye West[58:56] Donda[01:04:09] A-Cold-Wall[01:05:46] Jerry Lorenzo[01:09:25] Black British Artist Grants[01:12:22] SR_A[01:12:50] “Fashion Design: Samuel Ross/A-Cold-Wall” at the V&A Museum[01:13:22] Grace Wales Bonner[01:13:54] Mac Collins[01:13:59] Nifemi Marcus-Bello[01:20:44] David Drake

Michael Truscello, author of Infrastructural Brutalism: Art and the Necropolitics of Infrastructure, discusses the ways in which infrastructure determines who may live and who must die under contemporary capitalism. In this book, Michael Truscello looks at the industrial infrastructure not as an invisible system of connectivity and mobility that keeps capitalism humming in the background but as a manufactured miasma of despair, toxicity, and death. Truscello terms this “infrastructural brutalism”—a formulation that not only alludes to the historical nexus of infrastructure and the concrete aesthetic of Brutalist architecture but also describes the ecological, political, and psychological brutality of industrial infrastructures. Truscello explores the necropolitics of infrastructure—how infrastructure determines who may live and who must die—through the lens of artistic media. He examines the white settler nostalgia of “drowned town” fiction written after the Tennessee Valley Authority flooded rural areas for hydroelectric projects; argues that the road movie represents a struggle with liberal governmentality; considers the ruins of oil capitalism, as seen in photographic landscapes of postindustrial waste; and offers an account of “death train narratives” ranging from the history of the Holocaust to postapocalyptic fiction. Finally, he calls for “brisantic politics,” a culture of unmaking that is capable of slowing the advance of capitalist suicide. “Brisance” refers to the shattering effect of an explosive, but Truscello uses the term to signal a variety of practices for defeating infrastructural power. Brisantic politics, he warns, would require a reorientation of radical politics toward infrastructure, sabotage, and cascading destruction in an interconnected world.

Jóhann Jóhannsson was one of contemporary cinema's greatest score composers when he passed away in 2018 at the young age of 48. Last and First Men, his enigmatic directorial debut, was released shortly after in 2020. Based on a novel by the same name by the British science fiction writer Olaf Stapleton, the film offers a sustained meditation on the prospect of extinction, the eventuality of humanity's disappearance from the comos. In this episode, JF and Phil discuss the images and sounds of the film as they flicker and swell against the backdrop of nonbeing that envelops us all. The conversation touches on the idea of beauty, Brutalist architecture, modernism, and futurity.

It's Friday! And we're looking back at the news of the week with one of our favorite returning guests — podcaster extraordinaire and weed expert Ann Marie Awad. She joins host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi to dig deep into two debates over the state of our streets. Does Denver suck at plowing snow? And should we decriminalize jaywalking? Plus, Bree has a few words of remembrance for the great architecture critic Mary Voelz Chandler who passed this week, and as usual, we'll help you pick some cool stuff to do this weekend.  We mentioned Michael Paglia's remembrance of Mary Voelz Chandler for Westword (and her own excellent blog, Chandler in Denver, and her 2021 appearance on our show), Jim Charlier's epic twitter thread on plowing policy, and this Denverite article on the plowing problem: Is Denver Bad at Snow Plowing?

Check out our options for podcast and newsletter ads a citycast.fm/advertise We reached out to the Department of Transportation and Infrastructure for comments on the plowing situation. Here are their responses, edited for length: CCD: Do you know if DOTI has any plans to re-assess its snow removal strategy? If so, how does the changing climate factor into those plans?   The storm we received on December 29 was a particularly challenging storm event in that it was a wet, heavy, spring-like snow that hit during the coldest time of year. The snow also fell at very fast rate (1 to 3 inches an hour). Conditions on the main streets improved with subsequent passes by the plows. It was unusual for us to have a spring-like storm in December. So, we will be looking at… was this a one-time thing? Or a new trend amid global warming? These are the things that we'll look at --- any new trends over the course of several seasons and see if we need to adjust. Here is more on that:   we assess our snow program after every snow season, especially as we install more and new kinds of bike infrastructure, to evaluate what kinds of new equipment we might need, and so that we can make a budget ask for it.  we will want to keep main streets a priority to ensure emergency vehicles and people can get where they need to go. we're interested in continuous improvement and in discussing snow removal approaches that better support alternative modes of travel during the winter months, and large-scale programmatic changes will require expansions in people and in equipment. COVID put us in budget reduction mode, but as our city recovers, there may be opportunities in upcoming budget cycles to reignite discussions about service level expansions that the administration and elected officials want to fund.   CCD: I saw that the budget for plowing was $3 million in 2019. I can't seem to find a more current budget. Do you happen to have that figure as well? We have about $3M in 2023 as well. If we need additional dollars due to an unusually active snow season or a big event at the end of the year, we would ask for a supplemental. Safety comes first.

What Evil Dead 2 is to the Baroque, Sunn O))) is to Brutalism. Or more like: if the likening of Evil Dead 2 to the Baroque felt like a stretch in episode 136, the brutalist bona fides of Sunn O)))'s drone metal are incontestable. In this episode, their 2019 masterpiece Life Metal frames a conversation touching on 20th-century avant garde music, the tactility of sound, the metaphysics of the Kickass Riff, Aztec aesthetics, the virtues of impermanence, and of course, the sublime beauty of brutalist buildings.
