07Welcome to New Angle Voice: I'm your bi-coastal architect and host, Cynthia Phifer Kracauer. Catherine Bauer's life divided into two names and two geographies: her urban east coast youth, and her Bay Area soft landing. She hobnobbed with the bohemian elite of the interwar years….brilliantly charming the pants off of the big architect names of the Weimar Republic, Paris cafe society, and the International Style: Gropius, Mies, Corb, Oud, May…with her lover, Lewis Mumford—culminating in the publication of her 1934 classic : Modern Housing. Her glamour and charismatic presence endeared her to trade unionists, labor leaders, and politicians, including five presidents—who she tried to turn to her vision of housing as a worthy responsibility of the government—sexier and leftier during the Depression. Her arguments were a harder sell in the red scare fifties and ran into a dreary deadlock in the suburban sixties, as she later wrote from her west coast stronghold at the University of California, Berkeley. In the Bay Area she developed an academic career that also included a husband, a daughter, and a house on the bay – all surrounded by the nature she quickly grew to love. Her legacy lives on to this day, as even the latest of housing legislation echoes the progressive ideals she was advocating for in her prime.

The story of a filthy and dangerous train ditch that became one of the swankiest addresses in the world -- Park Avenue. For over 100 years, a Park Avenue address meant wealth, glamour and the high life. The Fred Astaire version of the Irving Berlin classic "Puttin' on the Ritz" revised the lyrics to pay tribute to Park Avenue: "High hats and Arrow collars/White spats and lots of dollars/Spending every dime for a wonderful time."By the 1950s, the avenue was considered the backbone of New York City with corporations setting up glittering new office towers in the International Style -- the Lever House, the Seagram Building, even the Pan Am Building. But the foundation for all this wealth and success was, in actually, a train tunnel, originally operated by the New York Central Railroad. This street, formerly known as Fourth Avenue, was (and is) one of New York's primary traffic thoroughfares. For many decades, steam locomotives dominated life along the avenue, heading into and out of Cornelius Vanderbilt's Grand Central (first a depot, then a station, eventually a terminal).However train tracks running through a quickly growing city are neither safe nor conducive to prosperity. Eventually, the tracks were covered with beautiful flowers and trees, on traffic island malls which have gotten smaller over the years. By the 1910s this allowed for glamorous apartment buildings to rise, the homes of a new wealthy elite attracted to apartment living in the post-Gilded Age era. But that lifestyle was not quite made available to everyone. In this episode, Greg and Tom take you on a tour of the tunnels and viaducts that helped New York City to grow, creating billions of dollars of real estate in the process.

fWotD Episode 2416: Lever House Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of the featured Wikipedia article every day.The featured article for Saturday, 16 December 2023 is Lever House.Lever House is a 307-foot-tall (94 m) office building at 390 Park Avenue in the Midtown Manhattan neighborhood of New York City. Constructed from 1950 to 1952, the building was designed by Gordon Bunshaft and Natalie de Blois of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) in the International Style, a 20th-century modern architectural style. It was originally the headquarters of soap company Lever Brothers, a subsidiary of Unilever. Lever House was the second skyscraper in New York City with a glass curtain wall, after the United Nations Secretariat Building.The building has 21 office stories topped by a triple-height mechanical section. At the ground story is a courtyard and public space, with the second story overhanging the plaza on a set of columns. The remaining stories are designed as a slab occupying the northern one-quarter of the site. The slab design was chosen because it conformed with the city's 1916 Zoning Resolution while avoiding the use of setbacks. There is about 260,000 square feet (24,000 m2) of interior space in Lever House, making it much smaller than comparable office buildings in Midtown Manhattan.The construction of Lever House changed Park Avenue in Midtown from an avenue with masonry apartment buildings to one with International-style office buildings. Several other structures worldwide copied the building's design. Lever House was intended solely for Lever Brothers' use, and its small size prompted proposals to redevelop the site with a larger skyscraper. The building was nearly demolished in the 1980s, when Fisher Brothers proposed a 40-story tower on the site; afterward, it was narrowly approved as a New York City designated landmark in 1982 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places the next year. In 1997, Unilever relocated most of its offices out of Lever House, and Aby Rosen's RFR Realty took over the building. After SOM renovated the building from 2000 to 2001, Lever House was used as a standard office building with multiple tenants. SOM conducted another renovation in the early 2020s.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:58 UTC on Saturday, 16 December 2023.For the full current version of the article, see Lever House on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm Ivy Standard.
fWotD Episode 2397: Art Deco architecture of New York City Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of the featured Wikipedia article every day.The featured article for Monday, 27 November 2023 is Art Deco architecture of New York City.Art Deco architecture flourished in New York City during the 1920s and 1930s. The style broke with traditional architectural conventions and was characterized by verticality, ornamentation, and building materials such as plastics, metals, and terra cotta. Art Deco is found in government edifices, commercial projects, and residential buildings in all five boroughs. The architecture of the period was influenced by worldwide decorative arts trends, the rise of mechanization, and New York City's 1916 Zoning Resolution, which favored the setback feature in many buildings.The exuberant economy of the Roaring Twenties and commercial speculation spurred a citywide building boom. The size and sophistication of Art Deco ranged from towering skyscrapers to modest middle-class housing and municipal buildings. Colorful, lavishly-decorated skyscrapers came to dominate the skyline of Manhattan before the Great Depression ended their construction. The Depression and changing tastes pushed the style to more subdued applications as it spread in the 1930s, becoming a style of choice for infrastructure projects and modern middle-class apartments in the outer boroughs.The lull in construction during World War II and rise of the International Style led to the end of new Art Deco in the city. After falling out of favor and suffering from neglect during the city's downturn in the latter half of the 20th century, the city's Art Deco has been reappraised. Among New York's most treasured and recognizable skyscrapers are the Art DecoEmpire State and Chrysler buildings. Art Deco skyscrapers formed the core of the city's skyline for decades and influence modern construction. Many of these buildings are protected by historic preservation laws, while others have been lost to new development or neglect.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:08 UTC on Monday, 27 November 2023.For the full current version of the article, see Art Deco architecture of New York City on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm Kendra Neural.

Born in 1895 in Lynchburg, VA, Amaza Lee Meredith was an African American architect, artist and educator who taught at Virginia State College where she founded the art department. Despite the fact she was never a registered architect, she was one of the few Black architects practicing at the time, and one of the country's very few Black women architects. In 1939, Amaza designed Azurest South, a tidy white International Style house on the edge of the Virginia State University Campus, where she and her life-long partner Edna Meade Colson lived. Both women maintained significant teaching positions at the University, living openly queer lives. In 1947 Amaza and her sister Maude began developing Azura North, a 120 lot subdivision and vacation destination for middle class African Americans in Sag Harbor, New York, near the summer haunts of Melville, Steinbeck, Betty Friedan, Spaulding Gray. During the 1950s & 60s the community grew as a Black vacation spot attracting celebrities like Lena Horne and Harry Belafonte. Together, the homes and communities that Amaza Lee Meredith helped establish provided a sense of joy, pleasure, and a safe haven for members of the Black community, at a time when this wasn't always possible. This episode explores the intersections of sexuality, modernity, art, architecture, and the faith community that nurtured this pair of lovers. Amaza and Edna found their home in each other and shared it openly with their church, their colleagues and their students. Special thanks to host Cynthia Kracauer, writers Jacqueline Taylor and Jessica Lynne, and to Brooke Williams who graciously provided Sag Harbor resident insights, as did advocates and preservationists Georgette Grier-Key, Michael Butler, and Renee Simons. And to Reverend Grady Powell and Reverend Dr. George WC Lyons from Gillfield Baptist Church in Petersburg, Virginia.

I picked up a free glossy real estate magazine with an enticing photograph of summer leisure pursuits under the title Sag Harbor: A Whale of a Good Time. We traveled out there in early spring, collecting voices of preservation, community, celebrity, and long tenured summer families as we searched for Amaza Lee Meredith's modern architecture. A short bike ride away from the summer haunts of Melville, Steinbeck, Betty Friedan, Spaulding Gray, lived the creator of Azurest North, the Black summer real estate enclave syndicated by Amaza Lee Meredith with her sister Maude Terry. But on the beach we found only Maude's name enshrined on the commemorative plaque. For decades, Amaza and her life-long partner Edna Meade Colson, made an annual migration to enjoy the respite and comfort of their shared northern home. Hundreds of miles south is their other Azurest—a tidy white International Style house on the edge of the Virginia State University Campus where Meredith and Colson both maintained significant teaching positions, living openly queer lives. Together, the homes and communities that Meredith helped establish provided a sense of joy and pleasure to those at a time when this wasn't always possible. And her story, as it continues to unfold with time, is a point of inspiration for those who have been lucky enough to discover it. In this episode, we explore the intersections of sexuality, modernity, art, architecture, and the faith community that nurtured this pair of lovers. Amaza and Edna found their home in each other and shared it openly with their church, their colleagues and their students. Listen to Amaza Lee Meredith: Love and Home.

About Jennifer Koch and her journey People always ask me, “how long have you been in fashion?” All my life, really, through my very unconventional journey! Growing up, I was terribly shy and had a speech impediment. But one day of the year I transformed into “the Bell of the Ball” - that day was Picture Day. To prepare for it, my mother would take me to the fabric store to design a special dress for this day. On picture day I walked confidently onto the bus and felt extra special, and uniquely expressed.

In Episode 26 of A is for Architecture, I speak with the Glasgow School of Art's Professor Bruce Peter, about themes, buildings, people and ideas gleaned from his 2020 book, Jet Age Hotels and the International Style 1950-1965. It's a wonderful book, and Bruce is a remarkably knowledgeable, entertaining and insightful conversationalist. The topic might seem niche, and away from the thing A is for Architecture has done so far, but it isn't. Have a listen and you'll see... I met Bruce at Glasgow when I got to seem him teach enthralled classes with a verve and energy I could only dream of manifesting, born from a real mastery of his subject. Read the book and listen to the fella. He's worth it. You can get Jet Age Hotels and the International Style 1950 - 1965 here. Bruce can be looked at here, and his Tweets can be read here.

Florence Knoll (1917–2019) was a leading force of modern design. She worked from 1945 to 1965 at Knoll Associates, first as business partner with her husband Hans Knoll, later as president after his death, and, finally, as design director. Her commissions became hallmarks of the modern era, including the Barcelona Chair by Mies van der Rohe, the Diamond Chair by Harry Bertoia, and the Platner Collection by Warren Platner. She created classics like the Parallel Bar Collection, still in production today. Knoll invented the visual language of the modern office through her groundbreaking interiors and the creation of the acclaimed "Knoll look," which remains a standard for interior design today. She reinvigorated the International Style through humanizing textiles, lighting, and accessories. Although Knoll's motto was "no compromise, ever," as a woman in a white, upper-middle-class, male-dominated environment, she often had to make accommodations to gain respect from her colleagues, clients, and collaborators. No Compromise looks at Knoll's extraordinary career in close-up, from her student days to her professional accomplishments. Martin's interview with Ana Araujo was recorded on July 22, 2021.
Elaine Lustig Cohen got an unconventional start as a graphic designer. After deciding not to pursue a career in art education, she began working as an assistant to her first husband, noted modernist designer Alvin Lustig. Her early work in the industry was far from glamorous, as she was mostly doing paste-up and assembling Alvin's designs. She described her position as more of an “office slave”. As Alvin began to lose his sight due to complications with diabetes, he began to rely on Elaine and his other assistants more and more. When Alvin passed away, Elaine took over the business. Her first commission was to complete the design for signage of the Seagram building in NYC working with architects Philip Johnson and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. The success of this work turned into more commissions. She took on some of Alvin's other clients, leading to a close relationship with, and later marriage to Meridian books editor and founder Arthur Cohen. Elaine closed her studio in 1969 to focus on a career in art, but continued creating designs for Ex Libris, the antiquarian book business she started with Arthur, which imported rare books and documents of the European Avant Garde to America. Though she began her career with little formal training as a designer, Elaine designed over 150 book covers, a number of promotional and catalog designs for exhibitions, pioneered what she called Architectural Identification Design and has since had her work honored through many well-deserved exhibitions and awards.TIMELINE1927 – b 1927, Elaine Firstenberg1948 – Married Alvin Lustig1955 – Alvin Lustig Died1956 – Married Arthur Cohen (Meridian Books editor) 1969 – closed design studio to focus on art1972 – Started Ex Libris w/ Cohen1995 – retrospective at Cooper Hewitt curated by Ellen Lupton1998 - Closed Ex Libris2011 – Awarded AIGA Medal2014 – P! show2015 – paintings shown at Philip Johnson's “Glass House”2016 – d 20162018 – Jewish Museum Show, exhibition of art and design workREFERENCEShttps://elainelustigcohen.com/Barron, M.

This week, Nadia and Steve welcome back artist and producer Katie Willert (@kawillert) about the specific topic of International Style architect Richard Neutra, who built midcentury masterpieces like the Lovell House in Los Feliz, the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs, and many more. Why did he network with Frank Lloyd Wright at a funeral? Why isn't the story aren't Neutra and his former partner a Ryan Murphy miniseries? How far would YOU go to keep out those dirty hippies?

Es kreucht und fleucht auf dem Sofa! In dieser Folge von SOFA SO GOOD geht es um Haustiere. Nachdem geklärt ist, was und wen man in der Mietwohnung halten darf (Hausschweine zum Beispiel immer dann, wenn auch Hunde erlaubt sind), erörtern die Moderatorinnen Beispiele für geschmackvolle Tieraccessoires (die Rede ist hier von Kokosnussschaukeln für Hamster oder Sisal-Scratch-Pads für Katzen). Anne Zuber berichtet in diesem Zusammenhang von den Mühen, die es sie gekostet hat, einen Hasenstall für den Garten zu finden, der weniger im Landhausstil und mehr im International Style gestaltet ist. Bettina Billerbeck erinnert an scheinbar aus der Mode gekommene Tierarten wie etwa Chinchillas oder Wellensittiche, und beide Hosts stellen fest, dass unter Einrichtungsaspekten natürlich ein Chamäleon ein idealer Mitbewohner ist – übrigens auch hinsichtlich Allergikerfreundlichkeit. Als Gast haben die Moderatorinnen in dieser Folge Thomas Niederste-Werbeck eingeladen, Interiorspezialist, Hundebesitzer und langjähriger Chefredakteur der von ihm entwickelten Zeitschrift DOGS. Der sagt: das Haarproblem fängt an der Wurzel an. Nicht nur in den Staubsauger investieren, sondern auch in eine Fellbürste und gutes Futter.+++ Die heutige Folge wird präsentiert von MIELE. Koch-Profis wissen: Das Dampfgaren ist die beste Möglichkeit, um Nährstoffe und Vitamine zu erhalten. Aber es ist auch nicht ganz unkompliziert – schließlich haben verschiedene Lebensmittel auch unterschiedliche Garzeiten. Noch dazu entscheiden die Temperatur und die Dampfverteilung darüber, wie gut das Essen gelingt. Der neue Miele Dampfgarer regelt all das ganz automatisch! Der ist nämlich mit der DualSteam-Technologie ausgestattet, die für schnelle Aufheizzeiten und eine optimale Dampfverteilung im gesamten Garraum sorgt. Zudem vereint der Dampfgarer von Miele gleich drei Funktionen in einem Gerät. So können Sie mit der Mikrowellenfunktion leckeres Popcorn zaubern oder eben Fleisch oder Gemüse schonend dampfgaren.

What makes a city a 'happy city'? Is there a correlation between the wealth of a city and its happiness? According to Charles Montgomery, author of Happy City, happiness is about having meaningful connections with the people who are proximate to us. People often think that things like houses, cars, and toys will make us happy. But whatever happiness we gain from those things is usually short term. Montgomery makes the case that since lasting happiness comes from meaningful human connections, we will tend to be more happy when we live and work in settings that encourage and allow that kind of interaction. A happy city, then is a city that encourages meaningful connections between people. In this episode Eric interviews Sara Joy about Happy City and we consider Montgomery's thesis through a lens of faith.Access more Show Notes with pictures and resources related to this episode.More information about this podcast and helpful church and urbanism resources can be found on The Embedded Church website.Related ResourcesHappy City by Charles MontgomeryEudomainia a Greek word for happiness.Ebenezer Howard is a British urban planner to came up with the concept of Garden Cities which allowed people to live in a natural setting close to the city which was influential on the development of the American suburb.Le Corbusier is the Swiss architect and founder of the International Style of architecture and creator of the Plan Voisin.Plan Voisin is Le Corbusier's plan to replace all the buildings of central Paris with a uniform set of highrise buildings with green space between them.

Architectural historian Carol Krinsky speaks about the history of Lever House. Midtown Manhattan's Lever House marked a watershed in American architecture when completed in 1952. Located on the west side of Park Avenue between 53rd and 54th Streets, the corporate headquarters—with its façade of blue-green glass and stainless steel mullions—was one of the first glass-walled International Style office buildings in the U.S. Three of the most notable people involved with the project include Gordon Bunshaft, the design Principal at SOM, Natalie de Blois who assisted him as the Project Designer, and Charles Luckman who was President of Lever Brothers and went on to practice architecture in New York and later LA. The building was allowed to be a rectangular tower as the zoning requirements permitted it not to be stepped if it occupied less than 25% of its site. This was the first time anyone had done this. The renovation begun in 1998 added the Isamu Noguchi sculpture garden which had been planned but never installed.
Today we ramble on -- for just a few minutes -- about Lever House, the New York City skyscraper that kicked off the International Style. Basically, Lever House happened, then did a bunch of others that imitated it, and then did the decor to stuff inside all of them and forty years later Tyler Brûlé launches Wallpaper* magazine. It's all connected. Anyway, the original page can be found at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lever_House Send feedback or contact us via email at: wikireadia@pm.me.

Designing museums and concert halls demands a blend of experience, talent, and vision. Richard Olcott, Design Partner at Ennead Architects in New York City, brings the right blend and a sense of play to a serious profession. In this episode we learn about whether, in the face of the pandemic, clients are still lining up (they are), museums will return to business as usual (they won't), and how the Spanish Flu of 1918 was central to the birth of modernism and the International Style of architecture (wait, what?). We discuss digital tools, the blight of ‘supertalls' casting shadows across New York's Central Park, indoor vertical gardens and other moves towards sustainability, whether ‘open office' designs are doomed, and multiple other topics.

It all started with Claro's genuine curiosity about the Asian imports' dawn in the PBA. A talk that started in the group chat that lead to the creation of this podcast. Presenting the first discussion on this podcast that featured different perspectives surrounding the stint of Asian imports in the PBA (or the stint of the PBA with Asian imports), Jay's bad audio, and Jeremy Lin holding a big paint brush.

International-Style Pale Ale-Color – Gold to light brown-Clarity: Chill haze is acceptable at low temperatures-Perceived Malt Aroma & Flavor: Very low to medium malt flavor and aroma should be present. Low caramel malt aroma and flavor may be present.-Perceived Hop Aroma & Flavor: Hop aroma is low to high. Hop flavor is very low to high. Hop character can vary widely depending on variety and origin of hops used, and should reflect attributes typical of non-U.S. and non-British variety hops.-Perceived Bitterness: Medium to High-Body: Low to medium-ABV: 4.4%-6.6%-Glassware: Pint Glass GABF 2018 WinnersGoldMai Tai P.A., Alvarado Street Brewery & Grill, Monterey, CAABV: 6.5%Notes: Three time GABF medal winner, including gold in 2018! Our drier, decidedly “tropical” IPA that’s light on bitterness, but heavy on hop aroma, courtesy of 100% Mosaic hops. One whiff and you get super intense notes of passion fruit, mango, and lychee. Grain bill of just American two-row malt and a clean fermentation keep it simple and allow these hops to shine.SilverGuayaberaCigar City Brewing, Tampa, FLABV: 5.5%Notes:Traditional throughout Latin America, the guayabera shirt combines style, functionality, form and tradition in its four-pocketed design. We at Cigar City Brewing feel the same reverence and appreciation for the guayabera that we do for the Citra hop varietal, an ingredient that imparts notes of tangerine, lime and berries to this traditional American Pale Ale. The exclusive use of Citra hops in this beer creates a flavor that’s at once unique and recognizable, while its dry, crisp character and moderate alcohol make it as refreshing and functional as a crisp linen guayabera.Craft Beer Storm Website: www.craftbeerstorm.com** Check out Upcoming Craft Beer Weekends ** Hampton, NHThe Victoria Inn Bed & Breakfast and PavilionCraft Beer Weekend - Dates: October 25-27, 2019Friday - Food / Beer Pairing at Inn / Q&A Brewer's PanelSaturday - Beer Bus takes you to local Breweries/DinnerSunday - Kegs N Eggs and BeerMosasAvailability: Limited - Book NOW!http://www.thevictoriainn.com/6th-annual-craft-beer-storm-weekend-2019/If your Company, Hotel or Restaurant wants to book a CraftBeer Weekend or Craft Beer Evening for your guests or employees send an email to Michael@craftbeerstorm.com Subscribe to Craft Beer Storm Podcast iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/craft-beer-storm/id1438117278?mt=2Support ACS In NYC Marathon“32K In 64 days” - I signed up for the NYC Marathon through the American Cancer Society and I am aiming to raise $32,000 ($3,200 Minimum X 10X) - please follow link below to donate what you can - $25, $50, $30K! - Onward... - Here is link –http://main.acsevents.org/site/TR?fr_id=94035&pg=personal&px=49477898&fbclid=IwAR2mBEvhF1wMA_BbHPhkavichNSFrE9Y9gi2RVZzfQ_4Da5Sht7gvH9rY_k*** A Top 20 Podcast in Food on iTunes ***Michael Potorti is the Host of Craft Beer Storm and Founder/Brewer at Beara Brewing Co. in Portsmouth, NH*** Interested in starting your own brewery?

刚刚到丹佛的朋友,每到周末假日应该都会注意到一个奇怪的现象,在丹佛大学和华盛顿公园附近有个社区的路上和店铺里总是挤满了人潮,生气勃勃的。这一区好多的店铺都着有一样的名字,邦妮布雷(Bonnie Brae),好多人想知道到底邦妮布雷是何许人也,和许多地方一样,是开发这一区的士绅名媛,还是为了纪念哪一位曾经建功立业的名人。其实大家都想多了,其实开发于上世纪20年代的邦妮布雷是苏格兰盖尔语里快乐山丘(Pleasant Hill)的意思,当年开发商乔治奥兰杰先生(George Olinger,没错,也是在丹佛市郊湖木市开墓园的那位)希望在丹佛也建造一个像堪萨斯市邦妮布雷社区一样怡人的苏格兰风格小镇,所以也把这个社区叫做邦妮布雷,但好景不长,才刚刚拿到许可,正雄心勃勃要开始大兴土木的时候,乔治奥兰杰先生的公司就因为资金短缺而宣告破产,整个社区也被政府充公抵税,在加上而后的全美经济大萧条,让这里的开发延宕和许久,直到30年代中叶才重现生机,所以在这里大家可以看到美国20到30年代各式建筑风格的房子,除了有30年代盛行的现代艺术风格(Art Moderne Style) 和国际风格(International Style)的屋子,也掺杂着20年代以前维多利亚风格(Victoria Style)的老屋,别有一番特色。而您知道吗,从1934年美国取消禁酒令(Prohibition)后就开门,营业至今的邦妮布雷酒馆(Bonnie Brea Tavern),是这里的第一家餐厅,见证了这些年来这个社区的发展,也看着周围变得越来越热闹,店铺一家接着一家的开,但唯一不变的就是虽然置身在都市里,这里一直保持着当年乔治奥兰杰先生希望营造的乡村小镇氛围,让邦妮布雷毗邻大学大道(University Blvd)这一段,成了这个大都市里的小镇大街,名副其实的快乐山丘。
Architect Philip Johnson’s father invested 100 years ago in ALCOA, the huge aluminum company, which Johnson a millionaire in his '20s. Before he became an architect, however, Johnson organized a landmark exhibition on International Style at the Museum of Modern Art in 1932 which introduced important Modernist architects as Le Corbusier, Walter Gropius, and Mies van der Rohe. He went on to get formal education in design but by then his reputation as a kingmaker of architects was firmly established. He is regarded as one of the first architects to achieve celebrity status, as much for his design evangelism and connections than for his buildings. He died in 2005 at the age of 98. Today host George Smart with co-host Kate Wagner of McMansion Hell welcome Mark Lamster, an award-winning architectural critic of the Dallas Morning News and a professor of architecture at the University of Texas at Arlington. For nearly a decade, Lamster studied Johnson’s correspondence, archives, and even his FBI file for a new biography titled The Man in the Glass House. He has been a contributing editor to Architectural Review, Design Observer, ID, Architect, Architectural Record, Metropolis, the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and the Wall Street Journal.
Today host George Smart and special guest cohost Kate Wagner of McMansion Hell dives into two Modernist house museums by internationally famous architects: Richard Neutra’s VDL house in LA and Philip Johnson’s Glass house in New Canaan CT. Richard Neutra became one of the most important architects in the world. In fact, Time Magazine featured Neutra on its cover and ranked him second only to Frank Lloyd Wright. Our first guest is Sarah Lorenzen, Director of the Neutra's VDL house in Los Angeles, a place where he experimented with new Modernist building materials and techniques. Philip Johnson was an architect but he thrived on being a kingmaker to the growing Modernist movement. He organized the profoundly influential exhibition on International Style at the Museum of Modern Art in 1932 which introduced important Modernist architects such as Le Corbusier, Walter Gropius, and Mies van der Rohe. Joining the conversation is Cole Akers of the Glass House, former home to Johnson and his partner David Whitney in New Canaan CT.
International-Style Pilsener (LAGER BEER STYLES)A classic German-style Pilsner is straw to pale in color with a malty sweetness that can be perceived in aroma and flavor. Perception of hop bitterness is medium to high. Noble-type hop aroma and flavor are moderate and quite obvious. (“Noble Hops” which refers to four variety of continental European hops originally grown in Central Europe. The four hop varieties are Tetnanger, Spalt, Hallertauer and Saaz.) Distinctly different from the Bohemian-style pilsner, this style is lighter in color and body and has a lower perceived hop bitterness.The hallmark of a fresh pilsner is the dense, white head. The alcohol levels must be such as to give a rounded mouthfeel, typically around 5 percent ABV. Classic pilsners are thoroughly refreshing, but they are delicate and must be fresh to show their best. Great pilsners are technically difficult to make and relatively expensive to produce.Subcategory: International-Style Pilsener- These beers are often brewed withrice, corn, wheat, or other grains making up part of the mash.Subcategory: Australasian, Latin American or Tropical-Style Light Lager– Sugar, corn, rice, and other cereal grains are used as adjuncts.-Color - Straw to pale-Clarity: Appearance should be bright; chill haze should not be present-Perceived Malt Aroma & Flavor: Residual malt aroma and flavor may be perceived at low levels-Hop Aroma and Flavor and Bitterness Low-Body: Low to medium-ABV: 4.6%-5.3% - American style Pilsner by comparison has higher ABV than other Pilsners-Glassware: Flute glass – (c/o Beer Advocate) The world of champagne lends elegance to certain types of beer. Long and narrow bodies ensure that carbonation doesn't dissipate too quickly and showcase a lively carbonation or sparkling color. Stems will often be a bit shorter than the traditional champagne glass, but not necessarily.

It’s a German exclamation of joy. It’s a recognition of accomplishment. It’s what escaped from our lips the first time we sampled this mighty pilsner recipe. With heaps of whole flower European hops and fine German malts, we achieved the bracing herbal bite and smooth malt flavor that we sought. Prima… an exclamation of Victory!

Its refined herbal notes are delicately poised, followed by a nutty and honeyed aftertaste. The overall impression of this gently sparkling beer is one of deep harmony, with the unmistakeable bitterness of the hops balanced and contained by an agreeable, mellow sweetness in the body.Subscribe to Craft Beer Storm Podcast iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/craft-beer-storm/id1438117278?mt=2Michael Potorti is the Host of Craft Beer Storm and Founder/Brewer at Beara Brewing Co. in Portsmouth, NHMichael PotortiFounder/BrewerHost of "Craft Beer Storm" Podcastmichael@craftbeerstorm.commichael@bearairishbrew.com*** Come visit our brewery for some delicious local craft brew! ***Beara Brewing Co.2800 Lafayette RoadPortsmouth, NH 03801Tel.

Born in England, Richard Hollis has been a freelance graphic designer since 1958. He has worked as a printer, art editor, production manager, writer, teacher and lecturer. Hollis taught at various London art schools, as well as co-founded, with Norman Potter, the Graphic Design Department at the West of England College of Art in Bristol in 1964. His book design includes John Berger’s ‘Ways of Seeing’, and a large body of work for the Whitechapel Art Gallery. He has also made a significant contribution to the history of graphic design in through his books including ‘Graphic Design: A Concise History’. In the interview with Richard Hollis we talk about his personal values. And how your own values are expressed through the way you work and the way you behave towards the people you’re working with or working for. Richard explains how he hardly ever changes typefaces. He always uses the same typefaces in making catalogues and books. We wonder, apart from the kind of job or the topics that he’s designing for, if his political views can be seen in his design work. We also talk about his fascination for Swiss Graphic Design and he explains why he has written a book about the topic: ‘Swiss Graphic Design: The Origins and Growth of an International Style’. We end the interview with how a painting of two tortoises, that Richard has seen at the Mauritshuis, is related to writing. Recorded at the Karel Martens Symposium at KABK, The Hague, the Netherlands.

Donald Luxton is a Vancouver-based heritage consultant with a particular interest in Modern architecture. About two years ago, he worked on a heritage study of the Revelstoke City Hall Building, completing an assessment of the building and its heritage value. Luxton’s report explained the importance of this early creation of Vancouver-based architect Charles B.K. Van Norman, a prominent B.C. architect who created our International Style city hall, a rare, early example from the late 1930s, when the Depression slowed construction in North America. The report detailed the building’s history, a number of interior and exterior interventions over the years (including the 1972 stucco job), and made recommendations about how to preserve its value as a heritage-listed building. We contacted Luxton to talk about the unofficial unveiling of the new Second Street entrance this week. What does he think? Thumbs up? Thumbs down? Moving forward, we asked him to weigh in on the debate on ongoing renovations, both interior and exterior. His perspective is interesting, and provides an insight that may save the city a lot of money on the exterior reno while restoring the building’s heritage look. And, the big question: Donald gives advice on what colour to paint city hall once its all over.
Colin Marshall sits down in Little Tokyo with novelist Todd Shimoda, author, in collaboration with visual artist L.J.C. Shimoda, of "philosophical mystery" novels with science, engineering, Japanese and Japanese-American themes. His latest, Subduction, follows a disgraced young physician into his four-year exile on a tiny, earthquake-prone, mythology-freighted island off the Japanese coast. They discuss Japan's very real earthquakes in Kobe and Fukushima; the book's obsessed characters, whether obsessed with seismology, documentation, or simply staying on the island; the question of how much scientific data he can safely include in a novel, and if this age of Wikipedia changes that; the "four-dimensional" Japanese cultural co-existence of mythology and science, and its blurred boundary between practice and belief; writing a novel of Japan without writing a novel of Japanese-ness, and avoiding other problems that befall Westerners' writing about the East; Haruki Murakami, Kobo Abe, and the Japanese International Style; his risk of real-life island despair while living on Kauai, and his regular, pendulum-like moves between the urban, suburban, and rural worlds; how to use the cultures that converge in Los Angeles to write a novel of Los Angeles, where the appearance of no neighborhoods becomes the reality of too many; the city's actual earthquake of the previous evening; Chin Music Press' sense of geographic place; and the availability of a constant stream of Western fascination with Japan for a novelist to tap into.

Few people know of one of the best modern houses in the United States, and even fewer have ever seen it. The designer of Richard Halliburton's house (1938) in Laguna Beach, William Alexander Levy, would never again produce such an exceptional building nor work for such an eccentric client. He met Paul Mooney in 1930 and the two men became lovers. By that time, Mooney had a prolific professional and personal relationship as editor and ghostwriter to Richard Halliburton, the world-traveling adventurer, who at the time was as famous as Charles Lindbergh and Amelia Earhart. Alexander was only 27 years old when he received the commission for the Halliburton's house. Alexander drew upon European contemporary architecture and created flat-roofed boxes of concrete and glass in a clear expression of the International Style of modernism. He hoped to create a house that soared like the modern spirit of Halliburton. Mies van der Rohe's work and his experimental concrete buildings of the 1920s, along with Le Corbusier's L'Esprit Nouveau Pavilion (1924-25) and his famous Villa Savoye (1928-29) would influence Alexander. In 1936, the first major and well-publicized concrete dams, Hoover Dam and Grand Coulee Dam were built, securing concrete as a practical and modern material in the United States. Frank Lloyd Wright, Alexander's teacher, had used concrete at the Larkin Building (1904) and Unity Temple (1905-07), but Wright most exploited its structural characteristics in the cantilevered concrete decks at Fallingwater (1936-37). At the Halliburton House, simple rectangular boxes of reinforced, poured-in-place concrete define the house. The boxes' two open sides facing the ocean and the canyon are filled with thin steel frames of industrial windows. Cantilevered concrete stairs wrap the exterior's southwest corner to the entry door. The interior contains a gallery, the living and dining rooms, a small kitchen, two bathrooms and three bedrooms one each for Halliburton, Mooney, and Alexander. The roof is a deck with unobstructed views in all directions. Mooney named it Hangover House because of the dramatic setting overlooking the canyon. The words are impressed into the concrete retaining wall near the entry. The three men were aware of the obvious pun. Later, Alexander assisted Arnold Schoenberg, the composer, with the redesign of Schoenberg's Brentwood studio. Alexander befriended Ayn Rand, and provided quotes for her book, The Fountainhead (1943). Some of Rand's descriptions in the book of the Heller House are thinly disguised references to the Halliburton House. Alexander continued to practice architecture and interior design and by 1950 had moved permanently to West Hollywood. He died in 1997. For more information see the book, Horizon Chasers: The Lives and Adventures of Richard Halliburton and Paul Mooney, by Gerry Max.
