Podcasts about Modern architecture

Myron Goldfinger was an American architect who, during the height of his career in the 1970s and 1980s, devised a distinctive style in trophy homes for the rich powerful seeking to live in contemporary houses. He reinterpreted American vernacular architecture into an entirely new language that responded to the spirit of the time: the Disco Age. Inspired by Louis Kahn, his teacher at the University of Pennsylvania, Goldfinger was an architect of volumes. His houses were composed of bold compositions of cubes, cylinders, and triangular blocks. Like Kahn, he believed that only basic geometry has the power to achieve timelessness. His language was highly influential, with many other architects building in the suburbs around New York and in the Hamptons copying his style. Having grown up in a humble working-class environment in Atlantic City, Goldfinger said that he sought to create the type of glamourous houses that he never had.To remember Myron Goldfinger, who passed away in 2023, and to see how his legacy is preserved in the 21st century through fresh interpretation, I invited interior designer June Goldfinger, his widow and eternal partner, along with Kelvin Dickinson, President of the Paul Rudolph Institute for Modern Architecture.

0:00 - 15:00 | Tech Issues & The Wheel of Doom Begins The show starts with the usual streaming struggles—issues getting the broadcast to work on Rumble and Rockfin. Sam and Mike confirm that the stream is live and introduce the episode. Midnight Mike promotes Monster Box Pedals, a boutique guitar pedal company he's working with. They joke that this might be Doom Scrolling's first sponsor. The first spin of The Wheel of Doom lands on Lost Technology & Ancient Architecture. They discuss how old buildings are too advanced to have been made with ancient tools. Theories about lost civilizations and suppressed knowledge. Modern buildings suck—Tucker Carlson claims ugly architecture is intentionally designed to annoy us. 15:00 - 30:00 | The "City Killer" Asteroid NASA warns of asteroid 2024 YR4, a 300-foot-wide rock that could wipe out a city. Initially, the chances of impact were 1%, but now the odds have doubled. If it hits land, it could destroy a city. If it hits water, Florida might be gone due to tsunamis. NASA is letting independent astronomers track it using the James Webb Telescope—a sign they might be more worried than they're letting on. Midnight Mike brings up a Twitter researcher tracking the asteroid's increasing chances of impact. They joke about Bruce Willis no longer being able to save us like in Armageddon. 30:00 - 45:00 | Are We Living in the Wrong Year? The Phantom Time Hypothesis—a theory that 297 years of history never happened. A historian claims medieval rulers faked the years 814-911 AD to make the year 1000 arrive sooner. Many artifacts from this time period are missing. Ties into theories about Tartaria and how history is rewritten by the elites. If they changed the date today, would anyone even care? People ignored Epstein's client list and UFO disclosures—so a fake calendar wouldn't shock them either. Sam jokes, "They could just jump us to the year 3025 and nobody would protest." 45:00 - 60:00 | Doppelgangers, Skinwalkers & Mimics A viral video claims a mimic or doppelganger was spotted in someone's house. Could some people be glitchy replacements? Midnight Mike discusses pod people—imperfect clones that lack social skills and act strangely. Are doppelgangers linked to aliens or interdimensional beings? If your mimic was better than you, would people even notice you were gone? 60:00 - 75:00 | The Hair Transplant Epidemic Hair transplant tourism is booming—flights out of Turkey are packed with men recovering from surgery. They joke about a guy's scalp leaking mid-flight, causing a scene. Hair transplants vs. embracing baldness—when is it time to let go? Seinfeld's old joke: “Nobody can tell it's a hairpiece.” (Everybody can tell.) 75:00 - 90:00 | Final Spins & Shoutouts Birthday shoutouts for fans and local celebrity Steve Lafayette. The Wheel of Doom brings up Project Blue Beam—is the asteroid a cover-up for a fake space attack? Midnight Mike says, "If the asteroid is real, I'm catching it bare-handed." They joke about flat earthers wondering where the asteroid is coming from. The episode ends with laughs and another spin of The Wheel of Doom.

Mass Housing: Modern Architecture and State Power – a Global History (Bloomsbury, 2021) is a major work that provides the first comprehensive history of one of modernism's most defining and controversial architectural legacies: the 20th-century drive to provide 'homes for the people'. Vast programs of mass housing – high-rise, low-rise, state-funded, and built in the modernist style – became a truly global phenomenon, leaving a legacy which has suffered waves of disillusionment in the West but which is now seeing a dramatic, 21st-century renaissance in the booming, crowded cities of East Asia. Exploring the relationship between built form, ideology, and political intervention, it shows how mass housing not only reflected the transnational ideals of the Modernist project, but also became a central legitimizing pillar of nation-states worldwide. In a compelling narrative which likens the spread of mass housing to a 'Hundred Years War' of successive campaigns and retreats, it traces the history around the globe from Europe via the USA, Soviet Union and a network of international outposts, to its ultimate, optimistic resurgence in China and East Asia. Miles Glendinning is a Professor of Architectural Conservation at the University of Edinburgh and the Director of the Scottish Centre for Conservation Studies. This interview was conducted by Timi Koyejo, a graduate student in urban studies at the University of Vienna. He has worked professionally as a researcher at the University of Chicago and as an urban policy advisor to the City of Chicago. Learn more about your ad choices.

What makes the Rioja region of Spain a must-visit destination for wine lovers? What are the best food pairings for Rioja wines? What's the sticky history behind the Battle of Wine festival in La Rioja? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with Adam Lechmere, editor of The Smart Traveler's Wine Guide to Rioja, among other books in this series. You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks   Giveaway Two of you will win a copy of the terrific new book, The Smart Traveller's Wine Guide to Rioja, written by Fintan Kerr and edited by our guest Adam Lechemere. To qualify, email me at natalie@nataliemaclean.com and let me know you've posted a podcast review. I'll choose two people randomly from those who contact me. Good luck!   Highlights What was it like to interview the famous movie director and winery owner Francis Ford Coppola? Are there parallels between the worlds of wine and film? Why did documentary filmmaker Jonathan Nossiter walk out of his interview with Adam? Why was Adam banned twice from Château Latour? What surprising insight did Adam learn while editing The Smart Traveller's Wine Guide to Rioja? How is The Smart Traveler's Wine Guide written especially for wine-interested tourists? What's the biggest misconception people have about Rioja and its wines? Where is Rioja geographically located? What are some of the culinary traditions you can enjoy in Logroño, the capital of La Rioja? Which Rioja and tapas pairings should you try? What's the history behind the Battle of Wine and El Barrio de la Estación de Haro?   Key Takeaways What they do so brilliantly in Rioja is combine traditional winemaking and outstanding wines with ultra-modern, avant-garde buildings often next door to ancient, gorgeous medieval churches. Lamb and Rioja is a brilliant combination, according to Adam and I agree. The rule of thumb for any wine region is to pair it with the food that's made in the region. What grows together, goes together. When you have lots of anything that is also your livelihood, you celebrate it. The Battle of Wine festival is a series of processions that begins about a week before on the 23rd of June, and it culminates with everybody going up onto the hill to what they call the temple. Like a lot of these festivals, it goes back into the mists of time and people don't know exactly how it started.   About Adam Lechmere Adam Lechmere is the publishing director of Academie du Vin Library, contributing editor to Club Oenologique, and general manager of the Academie du Vin Foundation, a charity dedicated to improving diversity in wine and hospitality worldwide. Formerly editor of Decanter.com, which he launched in 2000, he has been writing about wine for 25 years, contributing to Decanter, World of Fine Wine, Meininger's, janeanson.com, the Guardian and other publications; at the end of 2018, he launched Club Oenologique.       To learn more, visit https://www.nataliemaclean.com/303.

The modern architecture of the 1930's to 1970's in St. Louis wasn't simply about structures.  It's tied to social movements... and has also been linked to failures. A new exhibit at the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum at Washington University in St. Louis explores those “Design Agendas.” Megan Lynch is joined by Michael Willis founder of MWA Architects in San Francisco and Portland.- & Eric Mumford exhibition co-curator.

Of course there is more to it and perhaps I will give it the full Booklook treatment at some point. That is for another day, but it got me thinking about the Bauhaus, modern architecture in all its  wonderful forms from France's Art Deco, German Bauhaus and Brutalism through concrete forms. It also got me thinking about creative ways architecture can and is used to make life better for those who inhabit, live, work, love in these spaces. I had a conversation with Scott Specht of Specht Novak Architects and we discuss all of this. Specht's work and that of his firm is exceptional examples of Modern Architecture at its absolute best. Per usual, we walk through Scott's projects so check the show notes for a link to their project page and follow along. Everything from the sublime Weston Residence in Connecticut to the fun and funky Carpenter Hotel in Austin. From the Austin Cliffside Residence which is an absolute specimen in creative use of space to the experimental, Next American House. You are going to enjoy the ride. I guarantee it. And you are going to hear all about it, right after this.   Thank you, Scott. Amazing. I enjoyed our conversation and cannot wait to see the Next American Home in person. Thank you to my partner sponsors, ThermaSol, Pacific Sales, TimberTech, Monogram and Design Hardware.

Episode 105 of ⁠A is for Architecture⁠ is with Pier Vittorio Aureli, writer and educator, and founder and principal of Dogma, the much-acclaimed architecture and research group founded in 2002 by Pier Vittorio and Martino Tattara. We talk about Pier Vittorio's 2023 book, Architecture and Abstraction, published by MIT Press. Architecture and Abstraction, so the gloss has it, ‘argues for a reconsideration of abstraction, its meanings, and its sources. Although architects have typically interpreted abstraction in formal terms—the purposeful reduction of the complexities of design to its essentials, [this book] presents abstraction in architecture not as an aesthetic tendency but as a movement that arises from modern divisions of labor and consequent social asymmetries', and the outcome of emergent socio-technical, economic and political realities. In the face of the AI-ification of the public imagination and, increasingly, material culture itself, this argument has great pertinence for design in and of the contemporary commonwealth.  Pier Vittorio Aureli teaches at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), and can be found on through Dogma on Instagram. Thanks for listening. +  Music credits: ⁠Bruno Gillick

Some people see older buildings as revered artifacts that have stood the test of time, but others see them as occupying sites that could be used for new development. That tension is currently playing out in Phoenix, Arizona, a city that's a rich source of one specific style of architecture. Ali Rogin reports.

I'm Josh Cooperman and this is Convo By Design. When I first started the podcast, a long time ago… It all started as an experience. I love design and architecture, I always have. I recently realized that if I had taken the time spent doing the show and went back to school, I could have become an architect. I say that tongue firmly planted in cheek. Not because I wouldn't LOVE to be an architect, designer or set decorator. But, because had I done that, I wouldn't be able to do this. This is what I love to do. I find extraordinary joy in speaking with the creatives whom I admire, exploring their journeys, telling their stories and engaging with you.  Designer Resources Pacific Sales Kitchen and Home. Where excellence meets expertise. ThermaSol - Redefining the modern shower experience. Without steam, it's just a bathroom. Design Hardware - A stunning and vast collection of jewelry for the home! TimberTech - Real wood beauty without the upkeep Joining me on the show today is Mathew Chaney, FAIA and Bryn Garrett, AIA with EYRC Architects. To be completely frank with you, there are a few firms of which I feel like an honorary member. EYRC is one of them. I have spoken and shared time with Takashi Yanai, FAIA over the years, the “Y” in EYRC, I spent an amazing afternoon with Steven Ehrlich, FAIA, the “E” while in Palm Springs covering the Ridge Mountain project during Modernism Week in, errrr 2017 maybe. I have recorded virtually with them, live from their offices in Los Angeles, live from Rancho Mirage at a project house. I feel close to this firm. It's only a matter of time before we hear from the “R”, Patricia Rhee, FAIA, it's coming. But today, we have the “C”, Mathew Chaney as well as Bryn Garrett, both partners in EYRC Architects. Bryn most recently could be heard on a WestEdge Wednesday episode of Convo By Design from his participation on a panel at WestEdge about the current state of residential architecture.  Mathew and Bryn join me on the show to talk about a number of things architecture and design related.

From a design standpoint, some things are just cooler than other things – and these things don't need to be justified to anyone because people either understand it or they don't … but that doesn't mean there isn't an interesting and amazing story behind these objects that might contribute to their coolness in a meaningful way. Today Andrew and I each selected three items and we are going to share with you some amazing stories …  Welcome to EP 144: Objects of Design [Note: If you are reading this via email, click here to access the on-site audio player]   Today we are going to share with you something we feel is meaningful to us and why, maybe, it should be meaningful to you. Rather than making this a list of things we like – and by extension – things we think you should like as well, we are going to dig a bit deeper and talk about the story behind each item we discuss today. In a sense, it's that story that should make today's podcast interesting … just that fact that WE think it's interesting probably isn't good enough, so we are stepping up our game. The rules are simple – Andrew and I were each tasked with identifying a handful of items that we think are worthy of being labeled “Objects of Design” and we are going to present them in an alternating fashion. We are going to be keeping score because, at the end, I want my list to be better than Andrew's list. Villa Savoye by Le Corbusier (image credit here) CC by SA 3.0 Deed Villa Savoye jump to I am starting my list today with a building – one that architects, fans of architecture, and French people should all be familiar with … Villa Savoye, a modernist villa designed by Charles-Edouart Jeanneret-Gris, better known as “Le Corbusier” and his cousin Pierre Jeanneret located just outside Paris, France in the town of Poissey. It was built out of reinforced concrete between 1928 and 1931. The villa was designed for Pierre and Eugenie Savoye as a country home but the reality is that they barely lived there, but I'll get to that in a moment. I visited this building in the Fall of 1990 after having become quite familiar with the work as a result architectural history classes and quite honestly, even though it was not the popular still of architecture at the time, I really enjoyed Le Corbusier's work, not so much some of his ideas on Urban planning. But to really get to the interesting part of this particular project, we have to go back to 1927 when the League of Nations rejected the modern building that Le Corbusier and his cousin Pierre Jeanneret proposed for its headquarters. To say Le Corbusier was disappointed would be an understatement and this moment became a jumping off point that led to Le Corbusier forming the International Congresses of Modern Architecture in 1928. Another Swiss from Zurich, Siegfried Giedion, who was trained as an Engineer, attended the Bauhaus School where he met Walter Gropius and formed his initial interest and opinions on the modern architecture movement, was the Secretary of the International Congress of Modern Architecture and he, along with Le Corbusier wrote the Working Programme of the congress and formulated the text of the declaration.

Botond Bognar is a professor of Architecture at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where he has been teaching graduate design, lecture, and seminar courses for over 40 years. Born and educated in Budapest, Hungary, Dr. Bognar is an internationally renowned scholar of the history and theories of Japanese architecture. He is the author of over 20 books and monographs on the subject and has been a visiting professor at universities in the United States, Europe, and Japan. In his interview on the UIUC Talkshow, Dr. Bognar discusses the relationship between architecture and globalism, and the impact of the digital age on the built environment. He reflects on the importance of architecture as a reflection of our culture and values, and the responsibility of architects to create buildings that not only serve a practical function but also enrich our lives and enhance our connection to the world around us. Dr. Bognar also discusses the role of architecture in shaping our environment, and the need for architects to consider the environmental impact of their designs. He talks about the challenges of modern architecture, and the need to maintain a sense of curiosity and wonder in order to create truly inspiring buildings. Throughout the interview, Dr. Bognar emphasizes the need for architecture to be both functional and aesthetically pleasing, and the importance of maintaining a balance between the two. He also offers advice for aspiring architects and shares his thoughts on the future of the field. Dr. Bognar's interview is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the role of architecture in our lives and the world around us. His passion for the subject is evident, and his insights will be valuable for anyone interested in the art and science of building design.

Welcome to our Moderns show, episode #63 of Boroughs & Burbs. This week I would like to explore the concept of modernism with two experts who have given the subject a great deal of thought, built magnificent modern houses and buildings, and who have taught the subject of Modern architecture around the world in seminars and at the college level.First, we'd like to define Modernism. Are we talking about the clean lines and open-plan aesthetics of the 1950's, now over 70 years old, or is the new Modernism something else entirely?  What does it mean to be Modern in 2022 and where is the movement going? Does Modernism include the clean lines of IKEA's smart home or the exotic Iron Man's cliffside villa in Avengers?Second, we'd like to understand who is buying modern architecture, and why? Maybe Modern architecture is so expensive that it has become a status symbol for the ultra-rich. Are the ultra-rich the only ones who can afford these sleek glass and steel structures with fabulous waterfront views or views of L.A. from the Hollywood Hills. These modern houses are a staple of shows like Selling Sunset, and admired by the rest of us. Will they ever become accessible to the rest of us?Third, we would like to know where this admiration of Modern by the "younger generation" comes from, and how it is showing up in our housing market in markets from New York, to L.A., Miami, the Hamptons or Connecticut. Some of these communities embrace modern design, while others reject it in favor of more tradtional styles. An article in Curbed seemed to suggest that Modernism comes from the trend toward urban living: we all value the aesthetic of the modern, uncluttered, technology-centric apartment in the city. Maybe Baby Boomer rejected modern because it childhood homes. 

In the world of productivity, our surroundings have a lot to do with our state of being. Even with the best intentions, affirmations and habits, you can't compete with the energy your home puts out and what each room, nook and cranny is saying.  How do you know if your environment is at war with the way you want to feel in your home?   Feng Shui is a way for us to create alignment between the energy in our spaces, and the key areas that drive us in our lives, but it can be overwhelming.  What are the key Feng Shui principles we need to implement in our homes? In this episode, Feng Shui consultant, speaker and author, Moni Castaneda shares how we can encourage productivity and balance in our spaces.  Three Things You'll Learn In This Episode  The link between our homes and our energy Is our environment supporting the life we want to live or fighting against us? Why so many Feng Shui homes look odd and out of place How do we create a harmonious balance between what's good for the room, the life area and what we actually like? How to encourage productivity and fun in your space What are the important Feng Shui principles we need to bring into our homes?

Concrete is full of contradictions. First it's dust, then liquid, then hard as stone. It's both rough and smooth, it's modern and ancient, it can preserve history or play a hand in destroying it. Unsurprisingly, concrete is all about the gray area. Hear about this material from its supporters and detractors alike: why it's so controversial, why it's so often used in memorials, and how Colombian artist Doris Salcedo uses it to address grief and mourning.

This week I interview Tom Weidlinger – a writer and filmmaker who has been writing, directing and producing documentaries for 35 years. His most recent film, The Restless Hungarian, is his most personal project, and will be featured at the upcoming Mendocino Film Festival on June 3.In this searingly honest melding of the personal and historical Weidlinger uncovers the epic story of four generations. Central to the story is Tom's father, Paul Weidlinger, a brilliant structural engineer who fled Europe just ahead of the Holocaust—but who kept secret, even from his children, the fact that he was a Jew.The film unfolds in 1920s and ‘30s Budapest, Zurich, London, Paris, La Paz (Bolivia), then 1940s, ‘50s and ‘60s Chicago and New York, as Weidlinger traces his famous father's account of his fantastical life. Attempting to untangle truth from fiction, he uncovers a hidden story and lays bare the scars from his family's experience of war, displacement, and immigration.Combining documentary material with recreated scenes from his own childhood, the filmmaker discovers how family tragedies, psychosis and suicide, are manifestations of historical trauma passed on from one generation to the next. Weidlinger's profoundly thoughtful quest makes meaning from his family's suffering, resulting in a healing work that breaks the cycle of intergenerational trauma.The Restless Hungarian's trajectory intersects with the rise of Modern Architecture, the Holocaust, the Hungarian Jewish Diaspora, and the nuclear arms race.Twenty-one of Weidingers's previous films have been broadcast on public television. Many have won festival and industry awards and all remain in distribution. For detailed information, including trailers, please visit http://moiraproductions.com/. The documentary is also available in book form under the title The Restless Hungarian: Modernism, Madness, and the American Dream.

Few architects have been as exciting or controversial as Paul Rudolph, whose early successes designing Modernist vacation homes in Sarasota FL led to a later career as Chair of the Architecture Department at Yale, then nearly 30 years designing buildings with intense use of concrete and steel. While the public was largely inspired by his work, Rudolph fell out of favor in the US and shifted to Singapore and Hong Kong, where he was much heralded and sought after.  Like most Modernist architecture, over the years Rudolph's houses and buildings around the world became highly prized and at the same time, endangered.  Joining us is preservationist, archivist, and President of the Paul Rudolph Institute for Modern Architecture, Kelvin Dickinson. Later on, music by the charming Tierney Sutton.   

How does the pandemic change our interpretation of art? Since lockdown, staff members at The Met have discovered that familiar artworks now appear different in profound and personal ways. For Alison Hokanson, assistant curator in the Department of European Paintings, a painting by Edvard Munch speaks to her need for quiet introspection after so much time isolated indoors with her husband and three children. For Abraham Thomas, Daniel Brodsky Curator of Modern Architecture, Design, and Decorative Arts, a Finnish lounge chair designed to support recovery from tuberculosis reminds him how integral design can be to healing. And for Margaret Golden, a Met docent and retired physician, a medieval Islamic mortar connects directly to the efforts of frontline medical workers saving lives today.
