It can be dispiriting that six years after the #MeToo movement went viral, alleged office sexual predators continue to be unmasked by the media – including the recent FT exposés of hedge fund manager Crispin Odey, and of star architect David Adjaye, both of whom dispute the allegations against them. In this episode, host Isabel Berwick speaks to her colleague Madison Marriage, who led the Odey investigation, about how hard it can be to get victims to come forward. Meanwhile FT business columnist Helen Thomas explains why she thinks these high profile cases are causing a sea change in corporate culture. Plus, Isabel speaks to Tessa West, professor of psychology at New York University and author of Jerks at Work – Toxic Co-workers and What to Do About Them, about how to fend off unwanted advances.Want more?Latest on the FT's investigations into Crispin Odey and David AdjayeYou can watch our video documentary Crispin Odey: the fall of a hedge fund maverick from this Thursday, July 20.The UK parliament's Treasury Select Committee is inviting people to submit evidence by September 1 towards its investigation into sexism and misogyny in the financial services industry.FT subscriber?

On Tuesday, the Financial Times published a report detailing allegations of sexual misconduct by three women against the architect David Adjaye, who has designed a multitude of acclaimed museum buildings in recent years. After the report was published, Adjaye announced that he had stepped back from certain roles he had taken in London. The women, whose names were reportedly changed at their request, accused him of sexual assault and harassment, and alleged that his firm, Adjaye Associates, has what the Financial Times called a “toxic work culture.”

The UK's financial watchdog has summoned bank chief executives to address concerns that savings rates are lagging behind the surging cost of mortgages, Internet brand, Yahoo, is planning a return to the public markets, and the FT has released an investigation into sexual allegations toward celebrated architect, David Adjaye.

Over his 25 years as CEO of the Danish textile company Kvadrat, Anders Byriel has turned what was once a small, fairly dusty family design business into a global giant. Perhaps just as notably, he's taken a radical, and even artistic, approach to building and cultivating the brand's culture, partnering with designers such as Raf Simons, Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, and Peter Saville; arts institutions like the New Museum in New York, the Tate Modern in London, and the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Humlebaek, Denmark; and brands including Adidas Originals, Bang & Olufsen, and Jaguar Land Rover. On this week's episode of Time Sensitive, Byriel talks about why the best design has an artistic edge, the importance of making space for emotion within a corporate environment, and his deep and lifelong passions of poetry and photography.Special thanks to our Season 7 sponsor, L'ÉCOLE, School of Jewelry Arts.Show notes:Anders Byriel [01:04]Annie Ernaux [04:25]“Vermeer” at the Rijksmuseum [06:04]Kvadrat [06:56]Raf Simons [12:05]Peter Saville [13:24]David Adjaye [14:05]Thomas Demand [14:14]Louisiana Museum of Modern Art [14:17]Rosemarie Troeckel [14:20]Olafur Eliasson [14:27]Jean Nouvel [14:40]Massimiliano Gioni [18:06]Pipilotti Rist [18:39]Wu Tsang [19:07]“The Triple Folly” [19:33]Danh Vo [24:20]Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec [27:09]Giulio Ridolfo [30:41]“Materializing Color” [30:43]Adidas Originals x Kvadrat Stan Smith [39:03]Konstantin Grcic [43:06]Verner Panton [49:29]“Pop Art Design” exhibition at Vitra Design Museum [50:20]Robert Adams [01:03:08]Henrik Nordbrandt [01:03:52]Nan Goldin [01:10:39]Ocean Vuong [01:04:54]Ocean Vuong's “Time Is a Mother” book of poems [01:05:01]“Your Brain on Art” book [01:05:09]Hiroshi Sugimoto [01:11:37]“Ai Weiwei In the Elevator When Taken Into Custody by the Police” (2009) [01:12:00]Ansel Adams [01:12:44]Robert Adams's “Around the House” book [01:13:01]Robert Adams's "A Road Through Shore Pine" book [01:13:30]

We're off! Our interviewee for this first episode of the Design Emergency podcast is the Ghanaian-British architect, David Adjaye. As well as designing some of the most compelling buildings of recent years, including the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington D.C., David is at the forefront of the development of Africa's dynamic architecture scene. In this interview with Design Emergency's co-founder, Alice Rawsthorn, he discusses the challenges and opportunities of designing responsibly in the vast, complex, and intensely eclectic African continent. David – Sir David, as he is now – was born in Tanzania to Ghanian parents. The family lived in several countries during his childhood as his father was a diplomat, eventually settling in London where David studied architecture and founded his practice. Beginning by designing friends' houses, he moved on to cultural spaces including the NMAAHC and the soon to be completed Studio Museum in Harlem. Since 2000, he has conducted a personal research project into Africa's rich, but often ignored architectural heritage. David and his family are now based in the Ghanaian capital, Accra, where he leads a studio of over a hundred, mostly young, West African architects working on landmark commissions including the National Cathedral of Ghana and the Edo Museum of West African Art in Benin City. Tune in to hear him discussing those projects, and architecture's role in forging positive change in Africa. You'll find images of the projects David describes in this interview on our Instagram @design.emergency. You can also follow his research into African architecture on his Instagram @adjaye_visual_sketchbook, and find out more about his work at Adjaye Associates on its Instagram @adjayeassociates and its website www.adjaye.com.

Will God answer your prayer if you don't end with, "In Jesus' name, Amen?" Learn what praying in the name of Jesus really means. I taught this week on the call of Abraham and the development of God's missionary call through the nation of Israel as they were responsible to communicate the truth of God to the cultures around them. They were given that great commission. The great commission didn't start in Matthew 28. It started with Abraham in Genesis 12 —the first three verses there —Abraham, chosen by God to raise up a nation who would then be God's priests to the world so that they would be a blessing to all of the nations. They had a unique role in the great monotheistic religion. The Jews were supposed to reflect morality to the world. Israel was to witness to the name of God. When they talked about the name of God and witnessing to God's name, that does not mean that they were to let everybody know what they called God, "Yahweh." Their goal wasn't to cover the countryside with evangelists who just let everybody know what the right word for God was. It meant something different. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ https://linktr.ee/jacksonlibon --------------------------------------------------- #realtalk #face #instagram #amour #take #couple #dance #dancers #vogue #voguedqnce #garden #tiktok #psychology #beyou #near #love #foryou #money #ForYouPizza #fyp #irobot #theend #pups #TikToker #couplegoals #famille #relation #doudou #youtube #twitter #tiktokers #love #reeĺs #shorts #instagood #follow #like #ouy #oyu #babyshark #lilnasx #girl #happybirthday #movie #nbayoungboy #deviance #autotrader #trading #khan #academy #carter #carguru #ancestry #accords #abc #news #bts #cbs #huru #bluebook #socialmedia #whatsapp #music #google #photography #memes #marketing #india #followforfollowback #likeforlikes #a #insta #fashion #k #trending #digitalmarketing #covid #o #snapchat #socialmediamarketing

We look at the work of Ghanaian-British architect David Adjaye and the legacy he's leaving in Accra.

Architect Sir David Adjaye fuses beautiful design with strong values in everything he creates. Now living in Ghana, in episode 22 of River Cafe Table 4, David talks with Ruthie about how food intimately connects him to the projects he works on, and what it means to him as both a father and a citizen of the world. For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks.  Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe's open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.   For more information, recipes, and ingredients, go to https://shoptherivercafe.co.uk/   Web: https://rivercafe.co.uk/ Instagram: www.instagram.com/therivercafelondon/ Facebook: https://en-gb.facebook.com/therivercafelondon/   For more podcasts from iHeartRadio, visit the iheartradio app, apple podcasts, or wherever you listen to your favourite shows.

I got a chance to sit down with Ivane an Architect Photographer from Eastern Europe. He shared his journey from his childhood to photographing/befriending buildings of the world famous architect David Adjaye. It was a pleasure to have this conversation and to even be inspired to take a trip to the museum in a few weeks to view the architect work and artifacts/history collected in the Museum. Thank you Ivane and we wish you all the success in your endeavors in this land of opportunity!

„Budynki, które kiedyś poprzez propagowanie piękna i tworzenie wysokiej jakości przestrzeni wpływały pozytywnie na życie mieszkańców miast, teraz pogarszają je. Trzeba wybudować jak najtaniej, na jak najmniejszej powierzchni działki i jak najwięcej. Dziś w architekturze chodzi tylko o pieniądze" – twierdzi jeden z czołowych współczesnych architektów, David Adjaye. Czy myśl neoliberalna w ekonomii i modernizm w architekturze wyprały budynki z wszystkich cech innych niż efektywność ekonomiczna? W najnowszym Międzymiastowo ze stanu obecnej architektury tłumaczyć będą się architekci: Magdalena Milert oraz dr Filip Suchoń.

This podcast is a critique of a competition winning design for converting a romantic public garden beside the Houses of Parliament in Westminster into a UK Holocaust Memorial. The small and much-loved greenspace would become a wide verge for a heavily trafficked pedestrian walk from Parliament Square to the Memorial. The design was by Kathryn Gustafson working with Ron Arad (of Ground Zero fame) and David Adjaye who (also with Gustafson) designed the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History in Washington DC. The design for the Holocaust Memorial is very good. But the site selection, done before the design was commissioned, was totally wrong. I've tried to say this using a 'dark' piece of music to explain the proposal and a 'bright' piece of music to describe the character of the existing site. In Chapter 16 of City as landscape, a similar point is made by using the colour-words 'grey' and 'green' to describe the character of urban public spaces. The chapter title is Harlequin Space. This podcast is also available as a YouTube video and so is the design team's explanation of their Concept - explained with the aid of a beautiful (but misleading) Capprice for Viola by Atar Arad (who is Ron Arad's brother). Music is a great way of explaining the moods and characters of people and places.

“I was astonished by the experience of standing there, where the two oceans met. I knew at that very moment this would be my concept: the meeting of worlds". Okwui Enwezor. For centuries, the art establishment had been defined and dictated by predominantly white, wealthy, western critics and curators. Then in the early 90’s a young man who was born in Nigeria and studied Political Science in New York came onto the scene and said, ‘no more’. With an eye for aesthetic and a burning fire of political concern, curator and educator Okwui Enwezor transformed the art world. He placed non-western art histories on an equal footing with the long-established narrative of European and North American art. He was a man with a mission, utterly confident and determined. Sir David Adjaye, the architect perhaps best known for his largest project to date – the Smithsonian Institute’s National Museum of African American History and Culture - champions the ground-breaking life of Okwui Enwezor, who became both his friend and collaborator. He is joined by Chika Okeke-Agulu, one of the foremost scholars of African Art and Professor of African and African Diaspora Art at Princeton University.

Welcome to Podcast no 1,  the inaugural, our opener, our maiden trip into the world of Interior design where I’ll be interviewing Naomi Cleaver.  Naomi is an interior designer, writer, TV presenter and keynote speaker.    In today's episode we get her definition of Interior Design, find out how she made the transition from Design Agent to running her own practice via TV celebrity designer dome.  She reveals her approach to designing student accommodation and we discover her love of constraints and why being Design Led is not something to brag about. Naomi Cleaver is an interior designer, writer, TV presenter and keynote speaker As you’ll hear in the Podcast I’ve know Naomi for quite some time.  In the late 1990’s she launched Echo Design Agency, which represented amongst others David Adjaye and Olympic torch designers Barber Osgerby and not least…….my old company Forster Inc. While running Echo Naomi began presenting prime time television shows, such as Grand Design’s: Trade Secrets, Other People’s Houses and was the designer on DIY SOS. She shifted into running her own design studio (https://naomicleaver.com/) and her award-winning design work on iQ Shoreditch in 2012 established her ability and she’s been specialising in communal living – Student Accommodation, Co-Living, Co-working, Build to Rent, Later Life and Hotel design ever since. She’s been described as being “responsible for introducing professional interior design to the student housing sector” and Naomi’s work has been described as “warm, eccentric ... clever, idiosyncratic”  by Grand Designs Magazine;  and “dramatic, witty and just a little bit racy” by Elle Decoration. I met Naomi in the back room of The Globe Hotel (https://www.theglobetopsham.co.uk/) in Topsham, which is close to her Devon home where she lives with her husband. How to be a kick ass Interior Designer.  Come and join us on the Interior Design BA(Hons) course at the University of Plymouth.https://www.plymouth.ac.uk/courses/undergraduate/ba-interior-design Thanks to Dave Clarke from @iamthehow (http://www.iamthehow.com) for production support and advice invaluable in the setting up of this Podcast.

Michael Kimmelman does nothing in half measures. For more than 30 years, he has brought his assertive, culturally astute, historically sensitive perspective to The New York Times, which he has been contributing to since 1987 and joined full-time in 1990. During his tenure, he has written more than 2,000 articles, ranging from art criticism (he was its chief art critic from 1990 to 2007); to reporting from Europe and the Middle East (from 2007 to mid-2011, he was based in Berlin, where he was the “Abroad” columnist); to civically minded coverage of the built world, which has been his focus as the paper’s architecture critic the past seven years. Throughout Kimmelman has displayed the rare ability to balance his writing in a way that shows him to be more far more level-headed than hot-headed. He is a classically trained pianist who plays with the well-rounded, even-keeled temperament and gentle skill of someone who clearly has done the work and put the hours in, and the same is true of his pieces in The New York Times. Consider his judicious take—note: not takedown—on a 1992 Julian Schnabel show at Pace gallery: “Mr. Schnabel's ambition and ego continue to outstrip his ability to paint. But there's something impressive about his sheer audacity, and just enough talent in him to make it impossible to dismiss his work out of hand. One wants to ignore it but can't.” Or, more recently, in 2014, his view on David Adjaye’s Sugar Hill social-housing complex in Harlem: “Sugar Hill is something of an extravagance and not easily replicable. But it posits a goal for what subsidized housing might look like, how it could lift a neighborhood and mold a generation.” Kimmelman more often than not sees the bigger picture and, at the same time, injects his own shrewd, deeply studied understanding of the subject at hand. On this episode of Time Sensitive, Spencer Bailey speaks with Kimmelman about his lesser-known talents as a pianist, his three-plus-decade path at The New York Times, and his goal as architecture critic to build a greater discourse around designing cities that are better, healthier, and simply fairer for all.

A discussion with Richard Nii Dade of the Ghana Institute of Architects on Sunrise with Winston Amoah.

Sir David Adjaye is the architect behind some of the most interesting buildings of our times, from national museums to social housing. He has described the fraught political process of designing the prize-winning National Museum of African American History and Culture, which opened in Washington, D.C. in 2016, as eight years of pain. But “these buildings are long overdue,” Adjaye says, “There's a language they need to bring, which is about the reality rather than the fiction of nation imagery.” In this podcast with Amy Cappellazzo (co-founder of AAP and a chairman of Sotheby's) and host Charlotte Burns (executive editor, In Other Words), Adjaye—who has designed the forthcoming expansion of the Studio Museum as well as the plans for the National Cathedral of Ghana—talks about how space can change the way we think about our own histories. “We've all been numbed into never dealing with big questions,” he says, asking: “Then what the hell are we all doing here?” For this and more, tune in today.

The artist Yinka Shonibare meets international architect Sir David Adjaye, to consider how architecture can shape the world for the greater public good. David Adjaye's most notable recent building is the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington DC, which was opened by President Obama in September 2016. Since then, well over a million people have visited. David Adjaye reflects on the creation of a building which had to act both as a monument and a museum, and reveals the important role water played in his thinking, partly influenced by the words of Martin Luther King. He also discusses how his travels throughout Africa have influenced his ideas about the fundamental role of buildings within specific landscapes and climates, and reflects on how the political power of architecture can establish a civic or national identity, using the long history of Rome as an example. Producer Clare Walker With original music by Brian Eno.
