Episode 084: Understanding the Architecture Labor Movement Who is the Architectural Workers United? The Architectural Workers United is organizing towards making architecture more equitable, the profession more just, and our built environment more resilient. Join us as we interview Andrew Daley and Jess Myers to learn more about the architectural labor movement, unions, and the history of labor practices in architecture. What are the biggest misconceptions? What is the benefit? What are the most common questions people ask? We'll discover all of this and more as we discuss why there is a growing group of advocates standing behind AWU.

(Teaser Episode) Interview with Peggy Deamer by Rice Architecture Tête-à-Tête
There was no live episode of Buildings on Air this month since the regular BoA crowd was away at the Venice Architecture Biennale. Luckily, we have your back and brought a piece of Venice home in the form of an audio recording! The panel, hosted by the U.S. Pavilion curators at the Biennale was organized by The Architecture Lobby, a labor advocacy group for architects we frequently discuss on the show, and designed to jive with the "Dimensions of Citizenship" theme of the U.S. Pavilion. The panel is organized into two parts and features Kamabari Baxi, Peggy Deamer, Keefer Dunn, Ane Gonzalez Lara, Nathan Friedman, Ashton Hamm, James Heard, Cesar Lopez, Margie O’Driscoll (moderating), Ron Rael, Manuel Schvartzberg, Dexter Walcott, and Mabel Wilson. BIG THANK YOU to Chelsea Kilburn for recording the event and providing the audio, as well as the whole U.S Pavilion team (especially co-curators Ann Lui, Mimi Zeiger, and Niall Atkinson) for inviting the Architecture Lobby to be a part of the procedings!
Peggy Deamer and David Langdon of the Architecture Lobby discuss how cultures in education shape problems in the profession.
This episode we open up the mailbag with Ann Lui and Craig Reschke. Then we talk about the land-ethic and alternate approaches to environmentalism with Shota Vashakmadze. Lastly, we also have a chat looking forward to what 2017 has in store for architectural activism in a talk with Architecture Lobby co-founders Peggy Deamer and Quilian Riano.
Lots of summer blockbuster news to discuss on this week's podcast. The winner of the Helsinki Guggenheim competition was announced (a young husband-wife firm from Paris took the cake), SelgasCano's "psychedelic chrysalis" Serpentine Pavilion opened, and Andres Jaque's COSMO for MoMA PS1's "Warm Up" began its water cycle. And while not quite blockbusting, in what could easily be the premise for a Vincent Price flick, residents of the blighted Robin Hood Gardens dared Lord Rogers to spend a night in their quarters. Special guests Quilian Riano and Peggy Deamer of The Architecture Lobby join our news discussion this week, dropping their excellent and incisive commentary on ethical practice into every topic. We are collaborating with the Lobby to measure satisfaction with work-life balance in architecture – take the 3-question survey here.
