In Episode 133 of A is for Architecture, I speak with architect, academic, and writer Lorens Holm. We explore the fascinating intersection of architecture, psychoanalysis, and the public realm, themes Lorens addresses in his book, Reading Architecture with Freud and Lacan: Shadowing the Public Realm, (Routledge 2023) where Holm examines how Freudian and Lacanian psychoanalytic theory can illuminate the way we design, inhabit, and interpret spaces. Reading Architecture with Freud and Lacan presents an argument for how architecture shapes—and is shaped by—our unconscious desires, cultural narratives, and societal structures. Lorens also sheds light on the public realm and how the unconscious both informs it but is in particular ways also part of it. From this, we discuss what it means to read architecture not just as physical space but as a layered text of human experience. Lorens can be found on his University of Dundee website, on LinkedIn and even Instagram. The book is linked above, and you can also find his 2010 book Brunelleschi, Lacan, Le Corbusier: Architecture, Space and the Construction of Subjectivity on the Routledge website. Are you an architect? A psychoanalytic thinker? Or just curious about the deeper meanings of the spaces we live in? This one's for you. +  Music credits: ⁠Bruno Gillick

Business owners in Ennis have been pretty vocal in expressing their discontent over the ongoing public realm works in the County Town. The project is being delivered in phases in order to “minimise disruption” to business activity and traffic flow. However, the works have resulted in various arteries of the town being closed off at present, with local business owners criticising the speed at which the enhancements are moving. Another person who is unhappy over the public realm works is coach driver, David Grey. To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by David Grey. Photo (C) Clare FM

Clare County Council has expressed confidence that public realm works in Ennis will conclude by the end of next year. The local authority commenced an €11.5 million two-year contract with Shareridge Limited last October for streetscape enhancements at High Street, Bank Place, O'Connell Square, O'Connell Street, Old Barrack Street and Barrack Square. The ongoing works in the town form part of Phase Two of the Ennis Public Realm Regeneration Project and as per the contract, this phase must be wrapped up by October of 2025. Senior Engineer with Ennis Municipal District Seán Lenihan says penalties on the contractor can be applied if the works run on beyond the deadline.

Ennis Traders Call For Urgent Action Amid Public Realm "Disaster"

Clare County Council is being urged to exhaust all avenues to expedite public realm enhancement works in Ennis. It comes amid severe frustration for traders in the town, who claim the phased delivery of the project has been a business disaster. Having commenced in April of 2023, the €11.5M Ennis Public Realm Project has set a long-term goal of increasing footfall and spending in the town through streetscape and public infrastructure enhancements. The works have been scheduled over 8 phases in a bid to minimise disruption to local businesses, however the persistent road closures have been a point of extreme discontent for local traders, who say footfall has dropped dramatically. Vanessa Spencer from Munster Technology Centre in Ennis says her hours have reduced due to the lull in activity and fears the town has lost many customers who cannot be recovered. Local traders have also bemoaned the perceived lack of progress with the works. The High Street phase of the project was scheduled for completion in July, however the road remains closed to vehicular traffic and scaffolding is still on site. In April, Clare County Council had reached an agreement with the contractor Shareridge LTD to recruit a night shift to expedite that section of the works, with the homes it would be complete up to a month ahead of plans. Patrick Bourke from Patrick Bourke Menswear in Ennis insists the delivery of the project has taken for too long and says it must be expedited as businesses have greatly suffered. The latest temporary road closure in place means O'Connell Street will be closed to traffic until December, which Clare County Council says will ensure the streets will be open to shoppers for the busy Christmas period. In a statement to Clare FM, the local authority says that "Major civil and infrastructural works of this nature bring disruption and inconvenience, and this is unfortunately unavoidable." The works are scheduled to be complete by October 2025 and the developments will include a public fountain, elements of an urban garden, public seating and a Café Quarter as well as significant streetscape resurfacing. Head Gelato Maker at Gino's Gelato on O'Connell Street Sam is confident the new-look Ennis will be a major success, but says their business has taken a hit due to ongoing works. The contractor and design team continue to holding fortnightly drop-in meetings, as well as issuing weekly progress update bulletins. However with the clock ticking it remains to be seen if a new solution will be found.

It's feared the local authority's approach to major public works in North Clare will negatively impact the tourism product. It follows a special meeting of Clare County Council held last week in which Part VIII planning permission was secured for streetscape enhancements and infrastructure upgrades to Ennistymon. The meeting was held in order to secure grant funding of €495,000 which had been approved for the project in April, but would not have been held over until the next council meeting in September. Ennistymon based Labour Party representative Denis Vaughan believes the materials planned for the works will make it unattractive for visitors.

Retailers are so worried about the potential impact on their businesses, that they believe Clare County Council “should look favourably on any request to put a moratorium on Rates payments for the duration of these works as this would reflect an understanding of the constriction of business that will undoubtedly ensue when the dig commences."

Specialising in modern and contemporary art, with a focus on questions around colonial and decolonial histories in Africa, transnationalism and the politics of representation, her writing includes the book A Brief History of Protest Art, and in 2021, she was appointed to the Mayor of London's Commission for Diversity in the Public Realm. She is currently Curator of Modern and Contemporary at the Museum of West African Art (MOWAA), in Edo State, Nigeria. This summer she has curated an exhibition at Somerset House in London called Black Venus, which brings together the work of 18 Black women and non-binary artists to explore the othering, fetishisation and reclamation of narratives around Black femininity. The exhibition examines the complex narratives of Black womanhood through the influences of three perceived archetypes: the Hottentot Venus, the Sable Venus, and the Jezebel, and reframes stereotypical notions of black womanhood through the work of contemporary artists including Sonia Boyce, Carrie Mae Weems, Amber Pinkerton and Lorna Simpson. Aindrea talks about how she became interested in the history of art, and why she felt this was an important theme to address.

It's important to build safe and productive streets, but how do we ensure those streets are a place people want to be and live in? Whose responsibility is it to ensure that buildings interact with the public realm in a delightful way? Design is hugely impactful in our daily lives: it can determine if a place is somewhere for people, or if it's unlivable and unusable. And design isn't wholly up to the “eye of the beholder.” It's possible to quantify beauty.

Today on the show I have Marlon Blackwell, FAIA. Marlon is a practicing architect in Fayetteville, Arkansas, and serves as the E. Fay Jones Distinguished Professor at the Fay Jones School of Architecture + Design at the University of Arkansas. Marlon is integrally involved in every phase of the design process, from programming through construction administration, for every project Marlon Blackwell Architects pursues. He is involved on a daily basis, working to establish the design direction and works directly with client leadership on critical issues, ensuring a successful outcome and meaningful relationship. Since 1992, Marlon Blackwell Architects has designed for its clients award-winning, environmentally responsive projects. Their belief that architecture can happen anywhere, at any scale, at any budget - for anyone - drives them to quite literally challenge the conventions and models that often obscure other possibilities. They use an economy of means to deliver a maximum of meaning in places where architecture is often not expected to be found. In every instance, they strive to express the richness of the places they work and the ideals of the people and institutions they so proudly serve.In this episode, we take a look at the importance of establishing a vocabulary in architecture, we dig into the elements of design that bring the most impact to the building's surroundings, and we discussed the most important attributes of a successful project when taken in the context of framing the public realm. There is tons of great information in this episode and I greatly appreciated Marlon for taking the time out of his extremely busy schedule to discuss this topic of designing buildings as frames of experience for the public realm with me. Show Notes Matt (00:07): Hey, welcome to the show Marlon. Glad to have you on here. Marlon (00:19): Thanks Matt! Good to be here. Matt (00:21): Yeah, it's an honor to have you on here. You're a pretty big name in architecture and I think it's going to be a fun discussion. So without further ado, you want to just jump right in. Marlon (00:32): Sure. Hit, hit me with your, your best shot. Matt (00:37): Well, let's, let's start off and learn a little bit more about you and your background basically where you started, where the story of Marlon began and then we'll, we'll kind of take it from there. Marlon (00:53): Okay. how I began in architecture, right. How far did we go back? So, well, I mean, I think it's something that the realization that architecture's something I wanted to pursue or study really came out of, you know, pursuit of other things initially. I mean, I when I was growing up, I grew up near the near the Everglades actually well I'm south Florida, so I had a, and I had a real love for nature I had developed. And of course, if you're in your, the Everglades, there's a lot of things that can eat you. So, a real fear of nature is a good thing too. So, but I had had this desire to be a paleontologist and you know, love to put in skeletons and bones together and pieces. And, you know, I was very interested in, you know, what you don't see in nature in history and then that sort of evolved into desire to right, to be a journalist or creative writer. Because I love to tell stories. I love stories. And then you know, then it starts to evolve again, I all through my junior high and high school and even part of college, I cartoon like drew had a real passion for developing my own characters against stories and, and reductive figures. I love the comics.

Where are the opportunities to create a supportive physical environment with our existing streets, parks, and transportation? How can we bring those ideas into our dedicated care environments to provide an authentic experience of the public realm for older adults living with dementia, even if they find themselves in a secure, dedicated care environment? Our first interview is with Eloy van Hal who is director of Van Hal Advisors and senior managing advisor in the Be The Hogeweyk Care Concept Advisory team of the Vivium Care Group.

How much conscious thought goes into our reactions to a place? It might be less than you think. The more we come to understand the human brain, the more we see how much the unconscious mind, and our need to socialize in particular, influences us. And by extension, it influences our architecture. Our capacity for recognizing human faces, for example, has subtly shaped many traditional styles of buildings. (You might even be picturing it now: the windows as "eyes," the door as a "mouth.") This is an aspect of neuropsychology that other industries readily acknowledge. Your brain is drawn to, and can process, a face far faster than writing and other symbols. Advertisers use this to their advantage to get people's attention and make them feel comfortable...so why don't modern architects heed this aspect of human nature? And as architecture moves further away from its stylistic roots, what are the consequences for us, on a psychological level? This week on the Strong Towns Podcast, Strong Towns president Charles Marohn is joined by Justin Hollander, professor of Urban Environment Policy and Planning at Tufts University, and returning guest Ann Sussman, a registered architect, researcher, and college instructor. Hollander and Sussman have worked together on several books that look at architecture through the lens of human biology and neuroscience: Cognitive Architecture: Designing for How We Respond to the Built Environment and, more recently, Urban Experience and Design: Contemporary Perspectives on Improving the Public Realm. They discuss what makes human beings and the dwellings we build so remarkable, and why the evolutionary perspective must be considered if we want to make our places better for us—on both the conscious and the subconscious level.
