His highly regarded book, The Nature of Home, is available now and he's also working on a second book. We talk all about Jeffrey's creative process, his playfulness and childlike approach to design, why he thinks a house should “wink” at you, an in-depth look at natural light, and much more. What You'll Hear on This Episode: How Jeffrey's journey to architecture began on his family farm in rural Alabama. Why Jeffrey likes to create ethereal homes by focusing on natural light and materials. Using visual interest to create an inviting, intuitive flow in a home. Jeffrey likes to be playful and have “zingers” in a home design; what is his favorite zinger? How Jeffrey accomplishes his ultimate goal in his work: to bring joy. The trick to bringing in the right amount of natural light and materials. How geography and topography play a big part in architectural design. How Jeffrey's personal home build with his wife is coming along. When does Jeffrey recommend bringing in a team of professionals in the home-building process? Decorating Dilemma Hi McKinley, Some of the best interior decorators never went to interior design school, so you don't have to necessarily go to a specialty program. That said, it's not a bad idea either! Anecdotally, I went to architectural school with Ray Booth who now spends most of his time doing interior design, but he had a strong foundation from his education. If you have interior design firms in mind, I would say go ahead and reach out to them. You could certainly see if they have an internship or summer program so you can get your feet wet and decide if it's really what you want to do. Family ties can always be helpful, but there is SO much work out there right now that I don't think you'll have trouble finding a place that would be happy to bring you on. Never underestimate the power of a handwritten note! My best advice would be to follow your heart. If you're at architectural school and you still feel interior design pulling at you, I would explore it. Even if you spend some time doing it and decide it's not for you, it's better to know now than always wonder. It's a true gift to be able to do something you naturally love and are passionate about. Good luck! Mentioned in This Episode: Jeffrey Dungan Architects Jeffrey Dungan on Instagram The Nature of Home
I'm Josh Cooperman and this is Convo By Design. This episode features writer, speaker and architect, Peter Pennoyer. We are talking about classic architecture from a French Modern Townhouse to a rural Farm House, a log cabin in the Adirondacks. That is a broad stretch, so much to talk about. We are two weeks into 2022 and dealing with Omicron, the next variant of this seemingly endless pandemic. I bring it up not to tell you what you already know, but because architecture and design are just as important to getting through this as vaccines and protective procedures. This is not a political statement, but one of empirical data. Interior designers are making our homes more functional and architects are crafting new concepts into homes of today to address these issues when something like this happens again. Peter Pennoyer is the founder of his namesake firm, Peter Pennoyer Architects. Peter is president of the Whiting Foundation, a nonprofit that supports scholars and writers. He has served on the board ion the Institute of Classical Architecture and his formal training in past architecture has influenced how he crafts for the future. Peter has been recognized and awarded far too often to mention them here. Awards follow the work, as form follows function. We discuss more about that and review some projects over the next hour. Enjoy this conversation with architect, Peter Pennoyer. But first, if you listened to last weeks episode you know, I made a very special announcement…Convo By Design presents the 2022 Remote Design House | Tulsa. A unique idea around an equally unique show house. I have been wanting to do another design house project for many years now, but the right opportunity had not presented itself. Sure, there were projects, but none were right for me. Then, the pandemic hit. Here I was, producing a podcast for 8 years and all of a sudden, the entire industry stops working in an office and trying to figure out what the future of design is even going to look like. I am going to go a bit further down that rabbit hole in future episodes. Right now, I want to tell you where this is all going. In the first 200 days of the pandemic, I recorded over 100 interviews, conversations and panels. Like you probably did, I dived into the work, for two reasons. The first was to keep myself from going crazy with a family of four in a small house, trying to keep everyone calm and not lose my cool in the face of something scary and unknown. The second part was a strong belief at the time that our industry was on the precipice of something amazing. I had no idea that the product would be in short supply until the summer of 2020. I was on a run in Manhattan Beach, California on day, unable to run along the Strand, I was forced into a neighboring alley and noticed all of the boxes awaiting trash pickup. I started counting and identifying the boxes which became a hobby and way on passing the miles while running through mostly empty streets and alleys. The boxes were TV's, appliances, office furniture and equipment. There were fitness equipment boxes and all kinds of design materials and product. I remember the “a-ha” moment for me was later in the Fall. I had completed recording and airing a series called, “Designing for Disaster.” You can still find these episodes in the CXD stream. Designers architects were telling me that, of their clients, the ones that could were escaping to mountain, beach and more remote locations to live this out and using the opportunity to remodel both homes. Designers and architects, you know this… You have been busy ever since. Part of this new professional reality meant that embracing the new technology like Zoom, Slack, Base Camp, Microsoft Office and Google Drive was now a mandatory part of their jobs. This also meant that they would be required to design from a distance. That is something that represents the most revolutionary element for the design trade.

Episode 9 - Athenian Democracy, and the Golden Age of GreeceHi, my name is Clayton Mills. Welcome to ‘A Short Walk through our Long History' - a podcast where we look at the events of history, and try to see how those events shaped our modern world. This is Episode 9 - Athenian Democracy, and the Golden Age of Greece.We have talked about the famous battles of the Greek - Persian wars, and how after the huge naval battle at Salamis, the Persians never threatened Greece again. The Battle of Salamis happened on September 27th, 480 BC. There were still a few important land battles in 479 BC, but the Greeks won those as well, and destroyed what was left of the Persian army in Greece. This sets the stage for an era of peace and prosperity in Greece that would be incredibly influential.As points of reference, just to tie this all in with other things that were happening around this time in other parts of the world, I thought I would mention some other important world events. So 80 years or so before Salamis, off in India, around 563 BC, Buddha was born. Buddhism begins to form as a religion in the years following the Buddha's death. Buddhism will eventually become one of the world's largest religions, but it had a small start, as did Christianity. We'll come back to that in upcoming episodes. Also about this time, the Jews who had returned from exile in Babylon were re-building their temple, under the guidance of Nehemiah and Ezra. And also around this time, in 509 BC the Roman Republic was founded. We'll also come back to the Romans. Lots of important stuff going on in the 5th century BC. By the way, I don't really like calling these time periods, ‘the 5th century,' because it just doesn't match up in a way that I like. Because the 5th century is the 400's. It's the time period from 499 BC to 400 BC. And then we have that problem again in the AD's. It's because the first century is the zeros and tens, like 49 BC. So I prefer saying, in the 400's BC, rather than saying the 5th century. It makes more sense to me, even though the historians all like to use ‘5th century.' For the rest of these episodes, I'm going to stick with the actual numbers, and not use the 4th or 5th century nomenclature. So in the 400's BC, a lot of important stuff was going on. But what was also happening was the Golden Age of Greece, which lasts from the reign of Pisistratus, a tyrant who ruled over Athens around 528 BC, until the death of Alexander the Great, in 323 BC. So right about 200 years. The Golden Age of Greece is also known as the Classical Period, or Classical Greece. So what made it golden? What made it a classic? Well, there were two ascendent cities during this time, Athens and Sparta. They both were incredibly prosperous, and both laid claim to be the leading city in Greece. They fought several times during this period, and we'll talk about those battles in the next episode. But what really made this time period unique was all of the stuff going on in Athens during this time. So the Golden Age of Greece is really a mostly Athenian thing, even though Sparta was doing very well during this time also. But all the ‘golden' stuff came from Athens. [here]So in this time period, just to summarize, from Athens, we have Pericles, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Aeschylus, Aristophanes, Euripides, Herodotus, Thucydides, Hippocrates, and the birth of democracy. All of these have left lasting impacts in politics, philosophy, and literature. And of course that's not even the full list. There was also beautiful pottery and amazing architecture, including the Parthenon in Athens, which has been described by some as the most perfect building ever built.So what created this great period of productivity? It was something about the nature of Athens in those days. For one thing, Athens was peaceful and prosperous. It takes both of those things for a city or culture to be able to create a class of people who are artists, philosophers, and historians. In the middle of a siege from an enemy, no one is worried about writing ancient history or the next great play. So Athens has a period of tranquility and prosperity, and some great artists, writers and thinkers have time to be creative. We'll come back to this at the end of the episode, but there are a lot of ways that this time period influences our modern world. Obviously, the advent of Athenian democracy, and the idea that citizens can come together to create their own government, and protect their own rights, is something that influenced the founding of the United States and other democracies around the world.Well, that brings up an issue we need to clarify, since we're talking about democracy. Because the United States isn't technically a democracy. It's a republic - Well, Plato might argue that we're currently an oligarchy, putting on a show of being a republic, but more on Plato and his descriptions of government later, in another episode. A true democracy is where all the citizens vote, or at least can vote, on every law. A republic is where the citizens select a representative to go vote for them. The citizens vote on who will represent them, and then the representatives actually vote on the laws. So the United States and the United Kingdom are both types of republics, not democracies. They have representatives that do the lawmaking and the voting.Anyway, Athens was a true democracy, where all the citizens could vote on the laws. So how did Athens come to be a democracy, and enter into its golden age? As most golden age stories do, the story starts with a tyrant, and people getting fed up with the tyrant's tyrannical ways. By the way, the word tyrant, back in the days of ancient Greece, didn't mean a harsh, autocratic ruler. It just meant someone who has taken over the role of leading the government in an illegitimate way. The term tyrant didn't originally refer to how someone ruled; it referred to how they took power. In 546 BC, an Athenian named Pisistratus took control of Athens. His rule lasted for 18 years, and was actually a good period for Athens, and so the Athenians didn't put up too much of a fuss about him. But then, his sons took over, and they were tyrants in our modern sense of the word. The Athenians tolerated Pisistratus, because despite the way he took power, he did a good job as the leader of the city. His sons did not, and the Athenians decided they didn't want to be ruled by someone they had not chosen.There were a couple of other rulers, but then in 510 BC, the Athenians chose Cliesthenes to be their ‘archon,' or leader. One of the hallmarks of the Athenian system of government was that they wanted to be ruled by someone they themselves had chosen. This idea, the concept of government by the consent of those governed, is one of the core ideas of liberty. And within that idea, and also within the Declaration of Independence, is also the idea that if the people who are governed do NOT consent to their government, it is their right to change the government. That's what the Athenians did. Cliesthenes reformed a lot of Athenian practices, and rebuilt the democracy. There was an Assembly, that any citizen could attend, which met every 10 days to debate and vote on proposals made by the Council. The Council was made up of 500 citizens, and they would propose laws that would then be voted on by the Assembly. There were also strategoi and archons who were elected to serve specific roles.Then in 495 BC, a very gifted leaded named Pericles becomes one of the strategoi. He was a strategoi for 50 years, and this is the height of the golden age. Pericles also strengthened the democracy, and presided over the rebuilding of the Acropolis (which had been badly damaged by the Persians), including the building of the Parthenon, as well as several other temples. During the time of Pericles, two of the greatest philosophers in all of human history were born. Both Socrates and Plato were born during the time when Pericles was one of the strategoi. Socrates was probably born around 470 BC, so his time as a productive philosopher and teacher happened in part during the time of Pericles. Plato was one of Socrates' students, and his time as a teacher and writer took place after Pericles, but still during the Golden Age. I'm planning on having a separate episode on Socrates, Plato, and Plato's student Aristotle, because they really are important enough, in terms of how they affected the modern world, to warrant their own episode. I should mention here that they basically started the first permanent school of higher education, which was called the Academy.During this same time period, Aeschylus, Euripides and Sophocles were writing comedies and tragedies that are still studied today. Their writing, along with Homer's, (and also Plato's) is considered the best writing in the Greek language. These guys were the Greek equivalents of Shakespeare. And Shakespeare himself was influenced by some of the Greek plays. In addition to the playwrights, we also have the first real historians of antiquity during this period. Herodotus and Thucydides both tried to accurately record historical events, not long after they had actually happened. Before them, much of the historical record was written by kings who had conquered someone, and had a ‘history' written to glorify their own deeds. So accuracy was less important than glorifying the king who had commissioned the historical writing. Herodotus is known as the father of history. Although others recorded historical events before he did, he did a much more thorough job of getting and recording the facts of events. It is his records of Thermopylae and Salamis that are our best source for the names, dates, and flow of events of those battles. Though both Herodotus and Thucydides wrote clearly pro-greek histories, their thoroughness and descriptiveness set the standard for all future historians. The physician Hippocrates, of the famous Hippocratic oath, also wrote during this period, and his books on health and medicine are among the oldest records of human health and disease, and set the stage for much of the medical writing down through the ages. On top of all this writing, there was also a great surge in architecture and sculpture. When you think of Classical Architecture, that means ancient Athenian architecture. I mentioned the Parthenon, which was the temple to Athena on the Acropolis, which was the hill at the top of Athens. There were other temples up there, too, and they were also amazingly beautiful. So we kind of had it all back in ancient Athens in these years, and other cultures throughout history have always looked back at these times and the writings and art of this period and been inspired by them. Many of the great things about ancient Rome were lifted straight from ancient Greece, for example. After the democracy of ancient Athens, Greece was conquered by Philip of Macedon, whose son, Alexander the Great, took Greek culture and the Greek language and spread it all around the Mediterranean and into Asia. The Greek language became a sort of trade language of the Mediterranean, the language that everyone used for business. It was relatively easy to write, and because the Greek alphabet is very phonetic, it was also relatively easy to learn the language. Greek verb tenses are crazy hard to master, but basic Greek, the kind you would use for trade, was relatively easy. But because of the writings of the Greek masters, Greek also became the language of scholarship, for many generations. This is one of the reasons that the New Testament was written in Greek, even though Jesus probably spoke in Aramaic, which was the common language of Judea during his life. The New Testament was written to an audience beyond just the region of Judea, so because of the audience, and because Greek was the language of trade and of scholarship, the original writers of the New Testament wrote their gospels and epistles in Greek. So the Golden Age of Greece had it all, and became a major influence on the rest of the ancient world.What other things from classical Athens affect our modern world? Google an image of the US supreme court building. It's a Greek temple, basically. Greek architecture has influenced monuments and official buildings all through history. What else affected our modern world? Well, for starters, there's the idea of citizens taking responsibility for their own government. The idea that the people of the city are responsible for the defense, government, and well-being of the city, and that the responsibility for setting up a form of government actually lies with the people, not the king - that's an Athenian ideal. It's not the king or some external ruler who is responsible for the city, it's the people of the city. And they, the people, can choose the form of government that they want. It is more recently called ‘government by the consent of the governed.' At the core of this is the idea that it's NOT the government who owns the city or the country, it's not the king that owns it all, it's the people who own it. The beginning of the US constitution invokes this idea with the phrase, ‘We, the people, in order to form a more perfect union,…'. It's ‘the people' who are putting together the government, and designing a form of government that will protect them from tyrants. That's what the Athenians were trying to do, that's what the founding fathers of the US were trying to do, that's what the lords of old Britain were trying to do with the Magna Carta, at some level. Protect their rights from a tyrant. Behind this is the idea of personal responsibility, the idea that I am responsible for my life, my well-being, and my future - it's not the government that is responsible for that, it's not the king, it's not society, it's me. I'm responsible. The greeks would have called this ‘honor.' It incorporates the idea of doing what's right, doing one's job, doing what one is supposed to do, and being responsible for one's own life. This was definitely in the minds of the founding fathers of the US, although it seems like we've lost this a bit in recent years. The Athenians took responsibility for protecting themselves from internal threats - that is, tyrants - and external threats - like Persians, for example. It's an important principle, and it's kind of odd how seldom in world history a group of people is governed by a government that they chose for themselves. In the modern world, we kind of take for granted, but until recently, it was a rarity. Usually, people were governed by a king, either from their own region, or one from somewhere else who had conquered them. That has been the historical norm, not people governing themselves. Tyranny, not self-rule, has been the norm. One other way that Athens is still influencing the modern world is the scientific world-view that dominates the western world. We'll talk more about this in the episode about Plato and Aristotle, but they had a huge impact on the development of science as we know it today. Especially Aristotle. His enormous body of work influenced both science, philosophy, logic, and religion, but again, we'll come back to him and Plato again later. But before we get to them, we need to take a look at what basically put an end to the really golden part of the golden age of Greece, and that is the Peloponnesian wars. Next episode, we'll look at the battles between Athens and Sparta. Then we'll come back to Athens to focus on Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. Then on to Aristotle's pupil, Alexander, the Great.

We chat with George about life as a classical Architect. George has always had a connection to Architecture and specifically classical architecture because his grandfather was an Classical Architect himself, and was quite unusual for his time as most architects had rejected Classical Architecture in favour of Modernism. George takes us through his experiences within the industry and the change he has seen over his time as an Architect. We chat about university, placements, the development of Architecture and the tools available to Architects, planning, as well as the industry itself and what you can do to stand out in the industry. A great chat and loads of helpful information about the industry and what you can expect to deal with in the career.

Like the Dos Equis commercials, we don’t always feature Classicists, but when we do, we go for the best. Today we welcome one of America’s foremost classical architecture advocates, the Dr. Downtown of Providence Rhode Island, journalist David Brussat. Such a cool nickname. David runs the blog Architecture Here and There and wrote for 30 years for the Providence Journal. He has received the Oscar of Classicism, the Arthur Ross Award from the Institute for Classical Architecture. That’s a big deal. Prince Charles won that award. David is a tireless advocate for the return of classical design to public architecture and apparently loves taking Mrs. Downtown to something called Waterfire, which we’ll find out about. Later on, a return visit from musical guests Peter Lamb and the Wolves.
Jeffrey Dungan discovered a love for drawing and art at a young age while growing up on his family farm in rural Alabama. Being immersed in the powerful natural countryside would become inspiration for a life designing beautiful architecture and interiors. Dungan’s creative work can been seen in his native South, and throughout North and Central America. Recognized for his clean and modern approach to traditional vernaculars and classical architecture, he is a fresh voice in the industry. In addition to his architecture, he brings passion, depth and an endless enthusiasm for the people he works with Jeffrey has been honored with numerous awards from the American Institute of Architects as well as the 2017 Southeast Architect of the Year award by Veranda magazine and ADAC. The Institute of Classical Architecture and Art named him a Shutze fellow in 2015, and in 2018 he was a recipient of a prestigious Palladio Award, the only national award for classical architecture. Jeffrey’s work has been featured in numerous books, as well as the Wall Street Journal, Veranda, LUXE, Garden & Gun, MILIEU, Southern Living, and House Beautiful. His book, “The Nature of Home”, was published by Rizzoli in September of 2018.
In the second entry of our mini-series 20 Questions, listen in on a frank and entertaining conversation between three architects and two "laypeople," as each group asks what they have always wanted to know about the professions of their counterparts. Architects and show hosts Kellen Krause, Anthony Catania, and Rodrigo Bollat Montenegro are joined by Jeanz Holt, an attorney, and Rich McGovern, who works in digital media in New York City. Although all five of our contributors are enthusiastic about architecture - Jeanz and Rich even worked previously for the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art - find out what the enthusiasts have always wanted to know about the professionals, and how the architects think of the "laypeople" who live and work in the buildings they design.

The Catholic Current March 11, 2020 Special Guest: Catesby Leigh
Catesby Leigh joins Seth Barron to discuss President Trump's draft executive order to give priority to classical-style architecture in the design of federal courthouses, agency headquarters, and other federal office buildings. The classical style has inspired the most revered and popular buildings in the country—the U.S. Capitol, the White House, and the Supreme Court. But as Leigh reports, new federal rules after World War II enabled modernist styles of design, such as Brutalism and Deconstructivism, to set the tone for federal architecture. If adopted, the Trump administration's order would designate the classical and other traditional architectural styles as "preferred" for all federal buildings.
62 — Leon Battista Alberti — 2/2 — Building the QuattrocentoHaving discussed his magnum opus, 'De Re Aedificatoria' in the last episode, here we discuss the curious collection of buildings that Alberti designed across Italy over the course of his lifetime. From the hulking and austere white stone of the Tempio Malatestiano in Rimini to the carefully proportioned fine marble inlay of the Santa Maria Novella in Florence, these buildings have a unique feeling, that reflects the idiosyncratic interests of Alberti in conjuring the authentic mood of Classical Architecture, within the confines of his rigid understanding of proportion and geometry. These moments of strangeness are heightened by the incomplete nature of much of the work, and his own distance from the construction process, most of which he directed by letter. Make sure you check out the pinned story on our instagram for this episode, where you will find lots of high quality images of the buildings we're discussing.Edited by Matthew Lloyd Roberts.

Renowned interior designer Alexa Hampton has done it all — TV, books, magazines, you name it and Alexa has been featured there. Today, she joins the show to talk about growing up with her designer father Mark Hampton, the inspiration behind her two books, Decorating in Detail and Language of Interior Design, her recent travels for an upcoming furniture collection, and why there is no room for snobbery in design. What You’ll Hear on This Episode: What has been Alexa’s biggest challenges over the many different collections she has created and titles she juggles. Alexa’s habit of drawing on a photograph as a low tech and practical way that gave her a “Eureka” moment. Her father’s designation between a decorator and a designer. People may not realize how much they really can put in a room. Alexa’s self-described “rookie mistake” when redoing her bedroom, and the lesson learned in bouncing back after a misstep. More about Alexa’s trips to Vietnam to check out prototypes for her new furniture collection, and going to Ireland with a group from the Institute of Classical Architecture and Art. How publishing books in the world of decorating is more different than it has ever been. The point of views from her books The Language of Interior Design and Decorating in Detail. Design is no place for snobbery, and there is always more to learn, discover and see. How the fee can grow, but the markup will be scrutinized. The balance between having a trademark look, and being open to adapting based on the client’s needs.
