Podcast appearances and mentions of Richard Meier

With his amazing new book The Twilight of Bohemia: Westbeth and the Last Artists in New York (Black Sparrow Press), Peter Trachtenberg explores the 50+ years of history for Westbeth Artists Housing in the far West Village, the role of the arts in New York City, and the ways we build & sustain community. We get into his long-term history with Westbeth, how this book's was born from an essay about the suicide of his friend and Westbeth resident Gay Milius, how Westbeth managed to survive a series of financial crises over the decades before finding a sustainable model, and how architect Richard Meier repurposed the Bell Labs complex into affordable artists' housing in the 1960s. We talk about Westbeth's requirement that residents be professional artists and what that came to mean over the years (esp. when some residents' productivity diminished), what it's like to raise families in Westbeth, and how the community handled generational change. We also discuss how Westbeth reflects New York back on itself, how Vin Diesel's vandalism as a kid growing up in Westbeth led to his acting career, how the Village's Halloween parade originated there, how I stumbled across Westbeth in 2017 during — what else? — a podcast, how we build artistic communities when we don't have geographic proximity, whether there's a secret radioactive room left over from the Bell Labs years (!), and more.

Discover how self-taught designer Elaine Lustig Cohen became a defining force in modernist graphic design and fine art, with insights from design author and historian, Steven Heller, on her legacy and the importance of re-writing design history to include more women._______Support this podcast with a small donation: Buy Me A CoffeeThis show is powered by Nice PeopleJoin this podcast and the Patreon community: patreon.com/womendesignersyoushouldknowHave a 1:1 mentor call with Amber Asay: intro.co/amberasay Sources:elainelustigcohen.comThe Daily Heller: Elaine Lustig Cohen's New Website by Steven HellerThe New York Times Article by Anita Gates About ElaineElaine Lustig Cohen (1927–2016) was a pioneering modernist designer and artist, known for her bold, abstract book covers and museum catalogs that helped shape mid-century American graphic design.After the sudden passing of her husband, renowned designer Alvin Lustig, Elaine—without any formal training—took over his studio in the 1950s, working with high-profile clients like Philip Johnson, Richard Meier, General Motors, and the Jewish Museum.What set her design style apart was her ability to merge avant-garde European influences, like Constructivism and Bauhaus principles, with the clean, functionalist aesthetics of American modernism. She brought typography to the forefront, often treating it as a visual and emotional narrative element, while incorporating geometric abstraction to create a sense of movement and rhythm. Her work is now part of the permanent collections at MoMA, LACMA, and Cooper Hewitt. About StevenSteven Heller is one of the most prolific design historians and writers in the field, having authored, co-authored, or edited over 200 books on design, illustration, and popular culture. He is best known for his long-running column, The Daily Heller, published by Print magazine, which offers daily insights on visual culture, design history, and current events. In addition to his writing, Heller is the co-chair of the School of Visual Arts MFA Design/Designer as Author + Entrepreneur program, where he continues to shape future generations of designers.Throughout his career, Heller has been a steadfast advocate for women in design. His work has consistently featured and celebrated the contributions of women who have been overlooked in design history. He has worked to bring attention to underrepresented figures in the industry, often calling for a rewriting of design history to include more women. As early as the 1990s, Heller began amplifying the work of female designers, championing their influence on design movements across modernism, typography, and visual communication. He has been vocal about the importance of gender equality in the design industry and has pushed for more inclusive recognition of the women whose innovations have shaped the field.In 2011, Heller was awarded the AIGA Medal for his outstanding contributions to design journalism, education, and history. His ongoing commitment to uncovering the stories of women in design has made him not only a key figure in documenting design history but also an advocate for equity in the industry. Through his work, he has inspired a more inclusive and accurate portrayal of the design world, one that reflects the achievements of all its contributors. ____View all the visually rich 1-min reels of each woman on IG below:Instagram: Amber AsayInstagram: Women Designers Pod

Designed by Richard Meier, with project architect Tod Williams, the 1973 Douglas House is a towering white residence built on a steep, conifer-covered slope overlooking Lake Michigan.  In 2007, retired Proctor & Gamble executives Mike McCarthy and Marcia Myers became the fourth owners and embarked on its second restoration, doing a deep dive to bring it back to life.

La primera mujer que dirige el Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Barcelona, el MACBA, Elvira Dyangani Ose tiene muy claro que la fachada abierta a la plaza que proyectó el arquitecto Richard Meier es una declaración de intenciones. Una cristalera con las salas de arte a un lado y la plaza dels Àngels en el otro. No se entiende lo uno sin lo otro. Hoy no desayunamos porque en un museo no se puede, pero la conversación con esta cordobesa que ha vivido en medio mundo es muy nutritiva. 

Back in the 1980's, architect Richard Meier got a commission for a series of buildings in Los Angeles.  The Getty Foundation, sourced from the prestigious family of oil fame, wanted a huge new complex on land they owned off the 405.  This would turn out to be one of the largest private commissions in the world at the time, costing about 1.3 billion by the time it opened in the 1990's.  Of course, the neighbors fought it, as neighbors do with just about anything Modernist, and now it's a source of pride for all of Los Angeles.  If you're into architecture, art, history, or research, the Getty is a must-see Modernist complex, all-white, of course, that's a Richard Meier thing.  Admission is free, and it's an astonishing accomplishment and gift to the world, especially the gardens.  On the show, we've got Chandler McCoy, the Getty's Senior Project Specialist with Conserving Modern Architecture Initiative.  Later we'll talk AI with Michael Gilbride and how it's affecting architecture and design.

He is a descendant of Costa Rican and West-Indian parents. Robert is the second youngest of four children. Robert established his career based on his creative talents. He developed his passion for multi-disciplinary creativity around the age of five. He held on to his creativity because he was very limited in his physical ability because of his long-term battle with chronic asthma and his encounter with bone cancer at age 21. Robert drew with crayons; built with his beloved Lego and wooden blocks; built go-carts and tree houses of wood; built scale models; supported his father in providing professional photography; and initiated an ongoing livelihood with the trumpet all before his teenage years. He was introduced to architecture by his older sibling and developed a distinct love for architectural design at the age of twelve. His father, (Neil Charles, Sr.), kindled his fire for drawing with excellence. “Pop” Charles purchased Robert's first drafting table shortly after his demonstrated commitment to architecture, drawing, and building. Robert's father continually invested in his career from his youth and procured a large loan that initiated his architectural college training. Robert was educated at Florida Agricultural & Mechanical University where he received both his undergraduate and professional degrees in Architecture. He has received several architectural awards including the distinguished Alpha Roe Chi Medal of Leadership, Service, and Merit, and led design on award-winning projects over his 30-year career. He is a current member of the American Institute of Architects and the lead design architect at LBA Architects. Also, in 1998, Robert established ROC STUDIOS INTERNATIONAL, INC which is his own multi-disciplinary design studio. His studio provides visual arts, creative branding, and professional photography. The following famous architects and artists influence his style of designing buildings and producing graphic works. The architects that inspire Robert are Frank Lloyd Wright, Kenzo Tange, Le Corbusier, Richard Meier, Frank Gehry, Santiago Calatrava, Eliel Saarinen, and Alvar Aalto. Artists like Salvador Dali, Pablo Picasso, Paul Cezanne, and Georges Braque inspire Robert's style of producing abstract graphics. Photographers such as Neil Charles, Sr., Ansel Adams, David Eggleston, and a host of others influence Robert's photography. Prominent political officials, doctors, lawyers, architects, business leaders, bishops, pastors, other artists, organizations, churches, and the general public have collected his artworks and photography. His works have also been displayed in public facilities including those that he designed. Robert is a passionate man who is a joyfully exuberant nerd and enjoys staying fit, public speaking, and playing his horns. Robert readily acknowledges his many blessings including his creatively gifted wife (Shantae). __________________________________________ Thank you for being a part of our heart-centered community, and until next time, may your life be filled with sacred spaces that reflect the beauty of your soul.

For me, the 1980s comes down to two things: The Nakamichi RX-505 Cassette Deck and Metropolitan Home magazine. _____ First, the gear. _____ The Nakamichi RX-505 was an audiophile's wet dream. It was prominently featured in the steamy 1986 film, 9½ Weeks. In a scene from that movie, Mickey Rourke walks Kim Basinger into his monochrome Hell's Kitchen penthouse, where she glides through a living room full of furniture by Marcel Breuer, Richard Meier, and Charles Rennie Mackintosh. In the middle of it all, the Nakamichi opens, flips the Brian Eno cassette, and closes, automatically. _____ And now, the magazine. _____ Eighties movies featured a slew of inspirational apartments: Tom Hanks' Soho loft in Big, Judd Nelson and Ally Sheedy's Georgetown pad in St. Elmo's Fire, Billy Crystal's East Village flat in When Harry Met Sally. So when apartment dwellers from Des Moines to Manhattan asked themselves “How can I make my apartment look like the ones in the movies,” they turned to Met Home. _____ While the old guard, House & Garden, Architectural Digest, and House Beautiful, relished in displaying palatial estates and lavish celebrity spreads, Met Home was the design inspiration for the rest of us. _____ By the mid-80s — thanks to today's guests: editor Dorothy Kalins and designer Don Morris — Met Home was the best-selling shelter magazine in America, boasting a higher circulation than all of them. _____ It was a magazine rich with design and lifestyle inspiration and beautiful apartments and houses, but Met Home was not a typical decorating magazine. Its stories were very personal and captured its subjects' individual passion for the things that surrounded them. _____ But it didn't last long. By the early 90s, thanks to a recession, Meredith sold Met Home to Hachette, who out-bid Jann Wenner's Straight Arrow Publishers for the magazine. Hachette, though, was more focused on its own shelter book, Elle Decor, and left Met Home to languish and fade. _____ Kalins and Morris were gone, each off on their own new adventures. _____ For many of us, Metropolitan Home was a special magazine from a special time. A hopeful time. We were moving out — to dorms, first apartments, or starter homes. We bought affordable modern furniture from a brand-new Swedish big-box store called Ikea. We drank the New Coke while we played Donkey Kong on our Nintendos. We sang along with “We Are the World.” We watched Top Gun — the original — on our VCRs. And we paid an average of $375 (!!) a month for our rent. _____ Met Home gave its intrepid readers permission to indulge themselves in creating their own home design. And, as Morris says, “We helped expose people to a lot of design trends, but also gave them a sense of how they might be able to bring that into their own lives.”

Architectural glass artist Elizabeth Devereaux traveled across the globe looking for an international education in art and architecture, from San Rafael to Vienna, then Munich. She founded her California studio in 1969, and more than 50 years later is an accomplished architectural glass artist with works installed all over the US and Canada.  Devereaux states: “In an architectural setting, I always like to work in a site-specific way, noting the place and region itself, as well as the architectural style the artwork is in, the light, the interior and exterior environment. I work collaboratively, which then requires me to listen to the client/committee's story, to define their identity and understand what has meaning for them, and then to synthesize all of the information within my own style and artistic vision.” One of Devereaux's most notable liturgical commissions, Christ Cathedral Memorial Gardens, Garden Grove, California, is located at an architectural pilgrimage destination. The Cathedral buildings are designed by three of the 20th century's most significant architects – Philip Johnson, Richard Neutra, and Richard Meier. The new Memorial Gardens' focus was to be “The Risen Christ” worshiped by two angels. It needed to be highly visible from the exterior, giving reference to life's journey and connecting Baptism (in the Cathedral) to death and resurrection (in the Mausoleum). Relying on reflective light, 24-carat gold luster paint allowed the windows to be clearly seen from the Cathedral opposite, as well as in the Mausoleum, which was flanked by 12 large panels of amber stained and shaded clear glass. These 12 panels were fabricated by Derix Studio in Germany; the rest of the commission was fabricated in Devereaux's Chico studio. Forty-four clerestory windows created in mouthblown cobalt streaky on clear German Lamberts glass link the interior rooms. Between each are prisms referring to the tower at the Cathedral. In another major liturgical project, at Our Lady of New Clairvaux Abbey, Vina, California, Devereaux expressed The Cistercian charism of simplicity in a contemporary style with a reference to its ancient history. The new monastery at New Clairvaux was originally a 12th-century monastery in Northern Spain. In the early 1930s William Randolph Hearst bought the monastery and imported it to California. Shortly afterwards, the Great Depression and World War II made it impossible for Hearst to build it, and he deeded it to the City of San Francisco. There it languished for 40 years behind the De Young Museum until Father Thomas Davis, a young monk newly arrived to the New Clairvaux Monastery, heard the story and had a vision of acquiring the stones for the new Abbey. The Abbey consulted with British and Spanish historians, and hired German stone carvers to re-form and recut the missing stones. The art glass in 12-century European Cistercian monasteries is abstract, simple, and often soft amber and white in color. Devereaux's windows appear simple at first glance, but in fact, are complex in their fabrication. The Fremont Antique glass was custom mouthblown to shade from white opak to clear, allowing the exterior landscape to be part of the design. It was also painted and kiln-fired with amber stain, then intersected vertically with handmade prisms. Since the monks worship during the day and night, the artist painted and fired a reflective 24-carat gold luster pattern onto the surface, bringing the translation of New Clairvaux or “Valley of Light” to life. In San Francisco, for Noe Valley Ministry's Coming to the Center window, Devereaux selected triple-flashed, mouth-blown glass, which was etched to the clear layer to portray the constellations. The transition from “sky” to “center” was accomplished by selecting custom blown rose to clear and purple to aqua glass. This allowed the glass to be sprayed and fired with orange luster, creating the subtle transition from lavender to amber. The amber “center” was leaded and laminated front and back with lead “overlay” “branches” to reference beloved artist Ruth Azawa's twig-like cross in the sanctuary. The center spiral links to the labyrinth in the space. Devereaux explains: “I always loved transparency—working with watercolor, silkscreen, overlaying color. When I discovered glass, I realized the incredible aspects of painting with light. Mouth-blown textures and color can be designed to meet direct sunlight and be projected in mysterious ways across the interior space. Or if the window is facing an unwanted view, it is possible to use translucent glass, allowing light in, but not the view or the glare. I also love the use of reflective materials, polished metals, in conjunction with glass, but sometimes mirror, and 24-carat gold, silver, and platinum lusters sprayed and fired onto glass. This allows the window to have a nightlife, different from the day. I also love pattern, making a “logo” or distillation of the meaning of the commission, then repeating it into a fabric woven into the artwork.” Devereaux has always been active in her architectural and liturgical communities, serving on the National Advisory Board of Interfaith Forum on Religion, Art, and Architecture (IFRAA), a Knowledge Community of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) from 2009- 2014 and as a Juror for Faith & Forum/ IFRAA Religious Art & Awards, Seattle, WA, 2005. Her own IFRAA and Faith and Form awards include: 2018 Honor Award for Religious Art in New Clairvaux Abbey, Vina, CA; 2018 Codaworx Liturgical Art Award, Holy Family Catholic Church, Fond du Lac, WI.; 2008 Design Merit Award, St. Maximilian Kolbe, Westlake Village, CA; 2006 Design Honor Award, Blessed Trinity, Frankenmuth, MI; 1992 Visual Arts Award, St. Joseph Cathedral, San Jose, CA. She has also been presented with Ministry & Liturgy Annual Visual Art Awards, Bene & Best of Show in 2008, 2005, 2003, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996, 1994, 1992.  Devereaux's non-liturgical commissions are numerous and include New Mexico Behavioral Health Institute, Las Vegas, New Mexico, for which she won a Public Art Award; George Sim Community Center, Sacramento, California, Public Art Award; and Chico City Plaza, Chico, California, Design consultant team and Public Art Award. Her present commission is Dignity French Hospital Swanson Chapel in San Luis Obispo, CA, and includes 700 square feet of laminated art glass. Devereaux and her studio crew – Owen Gabbert, longtime project manager, Marie Swanson, Devereaux's son, Chris Tallant, and nephew, Abraham Devereaux – are responsible for many public art, hospital, and corporate commissions. Though her studio's main focus remains liturgical commissions, every window designed is site specific and custom made for that specific place. Devereaux knows how to listen and let inspiration find her, in a melding of her talent with the soul of each location.  

In this episode, sponsored by Minotti London, we take a glimpse into the studio doors of Messana O'Rorke, specially to meet Co-Founder, Brian Messana. With permission from podcast host Jennie Becker, the Founder of the original podcast Sliding Doors, who editor Hamish Kilburn met while reviewing a hotel in the Douro Valley in Portugal, this episode was all about the 'sliding doors' moments of Brian's professional and personal life. Brian trained under architects Richard Meier, Thomas Phifer, Hani Rashid, and Peter Marino, working on projects including the Canal+ Headquarters in Paris, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Barcelona, and the Christian Dior Paris flagship. A graduate of California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, and Columbia University, he also studied abroad, in Florence, Italy, and at Les Ecoles d'Art Américaines de Fontainebleau. He has lectured on design and served on the faculties of several university architecture programs.Messana O'Rorke's projects span a wide spectrum of residential and commercial assignments in multiple geographies—city, suburb, mountain, desert, ocean. Yet even as they adapt their fundamental design vocabulary to address differences in program and context, Messana O'Rorke's signature remains unmistakable in the ways they carve space and light. Their designs simultaneously foster both contemplation and invigoration, repose and action. There is no straining for theatrical effect, no tortured architectural calisthenics, simply a search for order, clarity, and beauty.The episode was recorded as the studio was unveiling its first monograph, celebrating 25 years of Brian Messana and Toby O'Rorke's labour of love.

The firm has been awarded the “RIBA International Awards for Excellence” for two projects in the same year, 2021, “100+ Best Architecture Firms” selected by Domus (2019), nominated for the Swiss Architectural Award (2018); overall winner of“Archmarathon Awards” in 2016; and “Design Vanguard” selected by Architectural Record (2014) and the projects, collected as a monograph in the renowned architectural journal AV Monographs, have been widely published in Casabella, Arquitectura Viva, The New York Times, A+U, Detail, The Architectural Review, L'Architecture d'Aujourd'hui, Lotus, Domus and many others. Opportunity of the conversation is offered by the current exhibition at the MoMa, N.Y, dedicated to the new generation of independent Chinese architects Dong Gong belongs to, deepening the passionate commitment he has always demonstrated towards resource-consciousness and awareness of social and cultural traditional values, leading his own practice working independently from state-run design institutes. We dwell on his architecture of deceleration and more contemplation, against a too fast urbanisation that a decade ago has dramatically transformed a vernacular, familiar context into a generic, unemotional and alien environment and on the respectful attempt of his interventions seeking to guarantee continuity with the past, offering emotionally involving experiences for the people.Urban and natural landscapes have demonstrated his innate and attentive sensibility decoding and deciphering the energies of multiple, diverse sites: Suochengli Neighborhood Library, a regenerative intervention related to a typical Chinese courtyard-block, in the historical district of Yantai, a port city in northern China, is an evident testimony of revitalization, based on a brilliant dialogue reactivated between past and present. The Captain's House, famous, award-winning work related to a house that sit on the rocks, on a cliff by the sea, on the Peninsula of Beijiao Village, in Fujian Province, represents another extremely significant intervention that, motivated by the need to address conditions of deterioration of the building, has provided a series of unexpected and unrequested important, valuable additions on an aesthetic-emotional level and from a social point of view. Light is another element that plays a fundamental role in his architecture, often revealing an intense aspiration to break limitations and boundaries as exemplary suggests the small Seashore Chapel, in close contact with the infinity of the ocean or intending to help meditation, relaxation and enjoyment as in the Seashore library.

This week on Rethinking work we spoke to Richard Meier and James Scott the co-founders of Stories, a property development firm who are taking a different approach. Focused on Stakeholder value rather than Shareholder value Richard and James discuss how they aim to maximise social and economic value and address some of the challenges we face in cities. Advocates of the 4 day working week, we hear about the origin of the business and what impact this working strategy has on their company.

This week David and Marina are joined by Scott Mitchell, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Scott Mitchell Studio, to discuss his designs, his early interests in architecture, his office, influential people in his life, the power of thoughtful architecture, and much more. Enjoy! Scott Mitchell is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Scott Mitchell Studio. Over more than 20 years he has developed an extensive design portfolio across the U.S. and internationally. Scott is renowned for his warm approach to connecting the built and natural environment and his humanistic approach to architecture. His nomadic upbringing took him from Jordan to Japan to the American Southwest—where he bore early witness to the stone ruins of Petra and Wadi Rum, the Shinto houses of Okinawa and the Sonoran Desert. Scott's design philosophy is influenced equally by his early encounters with antiquity, as by his relationships with modernist architects Richard Meier and Charles Gwathmey, and by the work of Louis I. Kahn and Rudolph M. Schindler.    Scott received a Bachelor of Environmental Design from Texas A&M University before moving to New York to work at Stephen Miller Siegel & Associates and then to Bridgehampton to work with Preston T. Phillips, a former protégé of architect Paul Rudolph. He was offered an internship in Norman Foster's London office and then moved back to the U.S. to pursue graduate studies at the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc), before establishing Scott Mitchell Studio in 1999. Scott is author of the monograph Scott Mitchell Houses (Rizzoli), which includes eight of the studio's pivotal projects and includes contributions by Paul Goldberger, Calvin Klein and Michael Webb.

On this episode, we speak with Richard Meier about fire and explosions investigations. Episode 9 covers what it looks like to conduct an origin and cause investigation utilizing NFPA 921. Richard speaks about the most common fires and contrasts fire effects to fire patterns. We also break down what it means to conduct an investigation with a basis in peer reviewed science.   Tell me about your background and how you got into fire protection? What kind of work does one start out performing as a fire and explosions investigator? Can you explain a little bit more about what the scientific method is in the context of a fire and explosions investigator? Will you speak about fire patterns and the different kind of fire patterns found in NFPA 921? What is the difference between investigating an explosion as compared to a fire? Do you have any interesting or challenging cases of fire or explosions investigations that you would share? What are some resources that you would recommend for people to learn about forensics and fire/explosion investigation? What does the process of deposition in court look like is it like you see on TV? What kind of tasks do you perform in your labratory that you can't investigate in the field?

Interview with Des Moines Art Center's Curator Laura BurkhalterThese days, a bit of Edward Hopper seems to speak volumes. The American painter is best known for depicting stark night scenes with people set apart from each other in solitude.Social distancing aside, take note and take heart for a treat. This week on The Delicious Story, you'll meet curator Laura Burkhalter of The Des Moines Art Center and enjoy an audio tour of one of Hopper's most celebrated paintings, The Automat.A WALK INSIDE THE PAINTINGDavid and I are privileged to be close neighbors with The Des Moines Art Center, an internationally recognized gallery housing a signature collection of contemporary art from the 19th century to modern times. And the fact that our small Midwestern city is home to this institution started with an interesting history. It was also an interesting story that led me to obtain this fascinating interview in the first place. (The graciousness of the The Art Center staff played a big part, too.) Several weeks ago, before the pandemic and social distancing became our way of life, I reached out to The Art Center and asked to interview someone about artworks in the permanent collection that featured food in some way. I was thrilled with their reply. Not only would I be speaking with the Center's curator, but we would focus together on a Hopper painting that has forever been one of the most popular pieces in their collection.In this interview, Burkhalter walks you into the world of The Automat. You become acquainted with the subject and her story—the mysterious woman wearing a hat and one glove set in 1927. The space where she sits is quiet, and she is alone. We ponder questions and consider possible answers to her ambiguous state in the picture.The dichotomy of the scene is our subject's place in her world. She is in a sense isolated, perhaps because of the time of day and her job. And that she is alone in an urban area heightens the contrast of her quarantine in a normally-busy public venue. Loneliness is a strange byproduct of crowded spaces. The scene resonates. EATING ALONE HOPPER STYLEI previously thought that the automat restaurant (popular from the 1920s through the 1960s) was a purely American invention. However, the concept actually originated in Europe in the late 1800s and made its way here after the turn of the century. The format of the operation was that customers withdrew prepared dishes from behind little glass doors. The setup was a fast-food style eatery for working people eager to grab a quick lunch. The popularity of these restaurants grew quickly in the U.S., particularly in urban areas as industrialization picked up during the 20th century. The story of the Automat's rise and eventual decline make for an interesting read over at ThoughtCo in the article, “The Rise and Fall of the Automat: Or, Whatever Happened to Horn & Hardart?” Or maybe you're more familiar with automats based on a scene from the Doris Day movie of 1957 titled, “A Touch of Mink.” A quick bite and eating alone remain components of fast food restaurants today, which came along after the automat's heyday. Our lives often lend to picking up food to consume as fuel more than a culinary respite. And ironically, because we still view eating as a social activity, eating alone in public is an uncomfortable option for many of us. (Hello, eating in the car!)THE BACKSTORY AT THE DES MOINES ART CENTERBurkhalter also takes us behind the scenes at The Des Moines Art Center, providing details as to how they curate and share the collection of thousands of pieces of art. In addition, the Des Moines Art Center offers a series of scheduled touring exhibits each year.Burkhalter explains the importance of the word “Center” in the institution's title, and how the focus manifests in their work and mission. I'll give you a clue that it has a great deal to do with their robust educational arm.The Des Moines Art Center is an AAM-accredited institution known for its important collection of major works of modern art. Other works include Jasper John's Tennyson, Henri Matisse's Woman in White, Georgia O'Keeffe's From the Lake No. 1, and Francis Bacon's Study After Valásquez's Portrait of Pope Innocent X, among many others. Nearly 75 years old, The Des Moines Art Center remains true to their goal to provide people access to important contemporary art—with free admission. Other on-sight attractions that draw the public on a daily basis include a popular gift shop featuring distinctive artisanal and boutique items as well as ongoing art courses for people of all ages, plus special tours and lectures. The Center's facility is a pleasing composite of three distinct buildings featuring the architectural designs of Eliel Saarinen, I.M. Pei, and Richard Meier connected strategically to allow for the open courtyard which reveals the designs from a distinctive vantage. DINING AT THE DES MOINES ART CENTERLunch at the Des Moines Art Center restaurant is a lure for the public as well. Patrons enjoy the culinary talents of the catering firm Tangerine, who opened their first restaurant at the Art Center in 2019. Menu items include soups, salads, sandwiches and other dishes made especially for the diners of The Des Moines Art Center.Dining for lunch is a pleasure during the Center's hours for both the delicious food and the beautiful atmosphere. Tangerine is nestled in an intimate and charming space in the facility and during the warmer months, customers bask in the beautiful setting of the open courtyard as well. And for those who seek a sweet repass, desserts are featured to delight available to patrons who want an enticing break before revisiting the galleries. WE'LL ALL MEET AGAIN!In this historic time of keeping our distance, I wonder how we will feel about our society's issue with isolation and loneliness in the future. I know there is plenty I took for granted, about public spaces and the wonderful amenities such as The Des Moines Art Center before this interview. But I'm taking stock and making plans. Friends and acquaintances, look out!In the meantime, as we strive to stay healthy, slowing down the pace and appreciating our cultural heritage from the comfort of home isn't all bad. We are reminded in the great works of art that we are part of a rich human story. And when we do return to being in closer proximity to each other, we can remember how un-alone we truly are.

Arsitektur merupakan seni yang unik. Biasa identik dengan teknik di balik gedung-gedung tinggi. Tapi lebih dari itu, arsiteklah yang menjahit ide-ide dan mimpi menjadi sebuah pengalaman ruang.

WIllis mendapatkan juga telah mendapatkan gelar Masters of Architecture dari University of Florida. Produser: Praisten T. ——— Architecture is a unique form of art. It is commonly understood as the science behind buildings creation. However, it is so much more than that! Architects paint the big picture that helps to turn ideas and dreams into a spatial experience. In FML EPS 08, we had a conversation with Willis Kusuma. He is the founder and Principal Architect of Willis Kusuma Architects (WKA). It is a small firm of 15 people which has defined the Indonesian architectural milieu and beyond. Some of his most well known works are: Social House, Skye, Cikajang Mix House (Mr. Sunday). WKA has a distinctive style of ‘modernity-meets-functionality’. It is personal, timeless, and in Willis’ own words, “could change your way of life.” We talked about the Willis’ experience of running his own firm, asserting his creative voice, and the nature of architecture as a professional career.

In an interview recorded at REX in Brooklyn, New York, George Smart sat down with architect Josh Ramus. The Huffington Post named him one of the five greatest architects under 50. Wallpaper Magazine described him as one of the world's most influential young architects. Esquire Magazine dubbed him the young saviour of American architecture. Icon Magazine called him one of the 20 Essential Young Architects. And Popular Mechanics said “Josh who? Is he that cold fusion guy?” Graduating from Harvard in Architecture in 1996, Ramus worked for Rem Koolhaas before forming his own practice, REX, in 2006. Like many famous architects, Charles Gwathmey and Richard Meier come to mind, his mom helped him get the project that rocket-launched his career. He has been a Visiting Professor at Yale, Rice, Columbia, Harvard, MIT, and Syracuse. And in his spare time, he trained for the Olympics!

The Are Pacis (Altar of Peace) of Augustus is arguably the best preserved monument from the reign of Augustus (31 BC- AD 14). It is also in an impressive setting, centro Rome's latest museum creation, by architect Richard Meier, in traditionally Roman travertine stone, with massive windows and sunroof, matched with an integrated series of videos, panels, models, casts and lighting.  It is truly a rich, layered presentation of the reconstructed altar, product of a series of complex excavations spanning several centuries.  Darius presents the museum setting between the Tiber River and Mausoleum of Augustus (currently under restoration) and examines the altar and the history of the excavation that led to the creation of the Fascist museum, now updated with Meier's 21st century construction. 

This is the story of​ how I got into the Richard Meier office.

What do design, branding, good bourbon, and a Norwegian architect firm have in common? It’s the thread to this episode’s interview with John Patrick Winberry, founding partner, chief wrangler, and architect at the UP studio. UP is a small, nimble boutique Architecture, Interior, and Brand Design firm that believes all disciplines can live together within a given project. If you’re a client, you get the design, but maybe you need signage, a new brand, or marketing to go with that new building. That’s where UP comes in. That belief of a turnkey solution makes for an interesting conversation. At 38, Winberry, on the young side of the profession, starts us out with the path he took to start UP – a path that might involve sneaking into a Richard Meier house along the way. Enjoy the episode.

Beginning today through October 1, Columbus, Indiana will celebrate its architectural history and identity with its very first Exhibit Columbus—an annual event alternating between a symposium and a design exhibition. Known for its rich architectural holdings of work by Eero and Eliel Saarinen, Kevin Roche, I.M. Pei, Deborah Berke, Richard Meier, Robert Venturi and others, Columbus has earned its "Athens of the prairie" tagline, and Exhibit Columbus hopes to honor that proud tradition into the future. We're joined by key members of Exhibit Columbus, Richard McCoy (director of the symposium's parent company, Landmark Columbus) and Joshua Coggeshall (partner at Shimizu + Coggeshall and co-director of next year's Ball State University installations) to discuss the city's architectural heritage, and what's planned for this year's inaugural symposium.

Architect Harwell Hamilton Harris FAIA never reached the celebrity status of his peers such as Richard Neutra and Frank Lloyd Wright, yet his quieter career work stands as some of the most brilliant of the 20th century.  Practicing primarily in California, Texas, and North Carolina, his achievements in residential, commercial, and academic settings earned national admiration and awards including the Richard Neutra Medal and an honorary doctorate from North Carolina State University.  Architect Frank Harmon FAIA was Harwell's student, close friend, and executor of his estate.  Harmon was educated in North Carolina State University’s School of Design and at the Architectural Association in London.  After working with McMinn, Norfleet & Wicker of Greensboro, Richard Meier in New York, and Harmon & Simeloff in London, he founded Frank Harmon architect in 1985. His firm has won more than 40 design awards.  Harmon has received over 40 design awards, including the 2013 F. Carter Williams Gold Medal.  Harmon announced his retirement in November 2015.  Architect Jeffrey Lee writes:  “Across the architectural profession, Frank Harmon is the face of North Carolina architecture.“ Author Lisa Germany Ziegler has written on architecture since the early 1980’s, contributing to publications such as Architectural Record, Harvard Design Magazine, and Progressive Architecture. Her beautiful and detailed 1991 book on Harwell Hamilton Harris traced the development of Harris's life and career and his honored place in American modernism.  Her most recent book is Houses of the Sundown Sea: The Architectural Vision of Harry Gesner.
