For the British architect John Pawson, minimalism isn't just a design philosophy, but a life philosophy—with his 1996 book, Minimum, serving as a defining jumping-off point. Over the course of more than four decades, Pawson has quietly amassed a global following by distilling spaces, objects, and things down to their most essential. With projects ranging from his career-defining Calvin Klein Collection flagship store on Madison Avenue in New York City, completed in 1995, to a remote monastery complex in the Czech Republic he's been building for Cistercian monks of the Trappist order for more than 25 years; from hotels in Los Angeles, Madrid, and Tel Aviv to London's Design Museum; from private homes in Colorado, Greece, Japan, Sweden, and beyond, to a chair and cookware; from lamps and linens to doorknobs, bowls, to even a steak knife, Pawson's tightly focused yet seemingly boundless practice places him in a category all his own.On the episode—our fourth “site-specific” taping of Time Sensitive, recorded at Pawson's country home in the Cotswolds—he discusses the problems he sees with trying to turn minimalism into a movement; his deep-seated belief in restraint, both in life and in architecture; and his humble, highly refined approach to creating sacred spaces.Special thanks to our Season 11 presenting sponsor, L'École, School of Jewelry Arts.Show notes:[08:06] Tetsuka House (2005)[08:06] “John Pawson's Approach to Making Life Simpler”[08:06] Shiro Kuramata[08:06] Katsura Imperial Villa[08:06] North York Moors[12:41] “Minimum” (1996)[12:41] Sen no Rikyū[17:35] Calvin Klein Collections Store (1995)[17:35] Ian Schrager[17:35] Paul Goldberger[17:35] Cathay Pacific (1998)[20:59] “Elements of Style” (1959) by William Strunk Jr. and E.B.

Er bestaat een huis, verzonken in rotsen, op een magnifieke plek met een fenomenaal uitzicht. Het heet Casa Malaparte en het bevindt zich op het eiland Capri voor de kust van Italië. Architecten over de hele wereld lopen ermee weg. En zouden dolgraag, al was het maar voor één keer, een bezoek brengen. Velen hebben dat ook geprobeerd. Slechts een enkeling slaagde.Het huis is onder architecten zo beroemd, dat het bijna een cliché is om het te noemen. Michiel van Poelgeest, de maker van dit verhaal, had er echter nog nooit van gehoord. En eigenlijk iedereen die hij er naar vraagt die geen architect is, heeft geen idee waar hij het over heeft. En juist dat gegeven fascineert hem. Wat is dit voor een plek? Waar komt de obsessie van architecten vandaan?  Wat maakt dit huis zo speciaal? En hoe kom je er binnen?Reis in 'Een Huis Zoals Ik' in het kielzog van Platte Grond mee op een queeste naar de heilige graal van de architectuur, een zoektocht naar deze legendarische villa, zijn bedenker, en de mensen die de rode bakstenen met eigen handen hebben aangeraakt.Maker: Michiel van PoelgeestHost: Nienke de la Rive BoxEindredactie: Katinka BaehrMuziek: Michiel van PoelgeestAudio mix: FaboemProducent: KlaenkPlatte Grond ontvangt subsidie van het Stimuleringsfonds Creatieve Industrie.Voor meer informatie: bezoek de website van Platte Grond.

The iconic author of the bestselling phenomenon Crazy Rich Asians returns with a glittering tale of love and longing as a young woman finds herself torn between two worlds – the WASP establishment of her father’s family and George Zao, a man she is desperately trying to avoid falling in love with. On her very fist morning on the jewel-like island of Capri, Lucie Churchill sets eyes on George Zao, and she instantly can’t stand him. She can’t stand it when he gallantly offers to trade hotel rooms with her so that she can have a view of the Tyrrhenian Sea, she can’t stand that he knows more about Casa Malaparte than she does, and she really can’t stand it when he kisses her in the darkness of the ancient ruins of a Roman villa and they are caught by her snobbish, disapproving cousin Charlotte. “Your mother is Chinese so it’s no surprise you’d be attracted to someone like him,” Charlotte teases. The daughter of an American-born Chinese mother and blue-blooded New York father, Lucie has always sublimated the Asian side of herself in favor of the white side, and she adamantly denies having feelings for George. But several years later, when George unexpectedly appears in East Hampton, where Lucie is weekending with her new fiancé, she finds herself drawn to George again. Soon, Lucie is spinning a web of deceit that involves her family, her fiancé, the co-op board of her Fifth Avenue apartment building, and ultimately herself as she tries mightily to deny George entry into her world – and her heart. Moving among summer playgrounds of privilege, peppered with decadent food and extravagant fashion, SEX AND VANITY (Doubleday)is a truly modern love story, a daring homage to A Room with a View, and a brilliantly funny comedy of manners set between two cultures. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/steve-richards/support

With John Wilson. American film-maker Alex Gibney won the 2008 Best Documentary Oscar for Taxi To The Dark Side - about the American government's use of torture. He talks to John about Julian Assange, the subject of his latest film, We Steal Secrets: The Story Of Wikileaks, and reveals that his next project is about the disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong. Amy Winehouse's personal pictures, outfits, record collection and items from her school days are in a new exhibition co-curated by her brother Alex. As the second anniversary of her death approaches, Rosie Swash assesses what this exhibition reveals about the singer, and considers her posthumous influence on fashion, writers and other musicians, including Patti Smith and Green Day. Amanda Levete, the architect whose buildings include the Media Centre at Lord's Cricket Ground and the Selfridges Department Store in Birmingham, chooses a house - Casa Malaparte on Capri - for her Cultural Exchange.

Una casa come me - ett självporträtt i sten och glas handlar om det hus författaren Curzio Malaparte byggde på Capri under andra världskriget, ett hus som brukar kallas världens vackraste. Arkitekten och filmaren Andreas Kassel reste dit och mötte ett hus som samlar på berättelser. I veckan kommer också Malapartes roman Kaputt ut i nyöversättning på svenska. Curzio Malaparte (1898-1957) var journalist, författare, krigskorrespondent, dramatiker, fotograf, regissör och arkitekt. Han rörde sig fritt mellan samtliga av de politiska och kulturella etablissemang som florerade under första halvan av 1900-talet. Efter att ha kritiserat både den italienska fascistregeringen och nationalsociallisterna i Tyskland fängslades Malaparte. Isolerad från omvärlden kreerade han tankarna om att bygga ett hus som ett självporträtt - Una casa come me. Längst ut på en isolerad klippa på Capri förverkligade han huset om sig själv. Casa Malaparte blev förutom en spegelbild av honom själv en homerisk farkost, fylld av berättelser, fiktiva och dokumentära. Människan blev arkitektur. Likt en magnet drar huset nyfikna besökare till sig. Men dess ägare har hermetiskt slutit huset för omvärlden. Andreas Kassel berättar om den hypnotiserande kraft arkitekturen innehar, om några av de berättelser som utspelar sig i Casa Malaparte och i de farvatten som omger huset och om hur han lyckades ta sig in i det. I veckan kommer också Malapartes roman  från 1944 ut på svenska i  nyöversättning av Viveka Melander.
