The golden age of sci-fi was filled with utopian visions the future. These days, when sci-fi creators project ahead several decades, the world is looking a lot more dystopian. But there is a group of artists who believe that a better tomorrow is possible if we can imagine it first. Architects are finding that science fiction can be a great way to understand how their buildings will adapt to a rapidly changing world. I talk with architect and Texas Tech professor Jes Deaver about why she thinks sci-fi can inspire her students to not only think outside the literal box, but to have more empathy. Liam Young explains why he created a program at SCI-Arc to train architects who want to work in fictional or virtual worlds. And author Thomas R. Weaver discusses how he enrolled a city planner to build a pitch deck for a colony spaceship, and why floating cities may not be the best solution to climate change.

We pay tribute to the late Mike Davis to explore the ongoing ecological crises facing Southern California and the socio-political dynamics that shape our responses to disaster. This is an intellectual tour de force as Davis goes deep in this recording from 1995 at the architectural school SCI-Arc, where he taught at the time. He outlines the history of damage caused by natural disasters in Southern California. Popular culture seems fascinated with the destruction of Los Angeles, and most recent events have breathed life into that narrative. Support the Podcast via PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=LBGXTRM292TFC&source=url Davis discusses the complexity of California's Mediterranean climate, arguing for a new “environmental epistemology.” He calls for a rethinking of California's resource and disaster planning. Noting the extreme hydroclimatic shifts throughout California history, he suggests a disruption of capitalist hydraulic civilization in California is inevitable–and here we are. We are in serious need of an environmental rethink in any rebuilding–or rewilding–plans.

A conversation between filmmaker Sosena Solomon, designer and urban scholar/theorist Mpho Matsipa, and anthropologist Natacha Nsabimana.  This episode was recorded at e-flux Screening Room before a screening of Merkato, curated by Natacha Nsabimana. Sosena Solomon's Merkato is a documentary tracing the lives of four people as they navigate the demands of life and work in one of the biggest markets in Africa in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Filmed on location in Merkato, before a radical architectural transformation, Solomon's documentary invites us to ask expansive questions about space, architecture, transition, and preservation. Sosena Solomon is an Ethiopian-American social documentary film and multimedia visual artist whose work explores cross-sections of various subcultures and communities in flux, carefully teasing out cultural nuances and capturing personal narratives through arresting visual storytelling. Solomon has worked for many years in the commercial and nonprofit sectors as a director and cinematographer on many short film projects, including Dreaming of Jerusalem, a Discovery-plus original documentary about the Ethiopian-Jewish community in Gondar, and Merkato. She has exhibited work at the Sundance Film Festival, Cinema Africa, Tribeca, and DOC NYC. She earned her BA in Television Production from Temple University and her MFA in Social Documentary film from the School of Visual Arts. Solomon is currently lecturing in the Fine Arts Department at the University of Pennsylvania's Stuart Weitzman School of Design, and working with the Metropolitan Museum of Art to create new digital and in-gallery content that will reframe the Museum's African art galleries. Mpho Matsipa is an educator, researcher, and independent curator.  Matsipa holds a PhD in Architecture from the University of California, Berkeley, pursued as a Fulbright Scholar. She has curated several exhibitions, discursive platforms, and experimental architectural research including the Venice International Architecture Biennale (2008; 2021); African Mobilities at the Architecture Museum, Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich (2018); and Studio-X Johannesburg, in South Africa (2014–16). Her curatorial and research interests are at the intersection of urban studies, experimental architecture, and visual art. Mpho is an associate curator for the Lubumbashi Biennale, in the Democratic Republic of Congo (2024) and she teaches History and Theory at SCI-Arc. Natacha Nsabimana teaches in the anthropology department at the university of Chicago. Her research and teaching interests include postcolonial critique, musical movements, and the cultural and political worlds of African peoples on the continent and in the diaspora. The African Film Institute aims to create a home and a place of intimacy with African cinema in New York, through developing gradually and organically a viewing program animated by fellowships; a growing library; an active writers' room; and an expanding catalog of recorded dialogs. The African Film Institute draws from the visual cultures that view cinema as an evening school: a popular information system in the service of education, aesthetic experience, and public dissemination—employing a methodology concerning the use of cinema's collective production, and investing in viewing methods informed by different uses of time, visual and textual histories, and social struggles and hopes in mutuality between their own locality and the world at large. The African Film Institute is convened by Christian Nyampeta and hosted by e-flux Screening Room.

Sean Ho and Haegi Kang are living the dream as Andmore Partners, a one-stop development and architecture shop in Los Angeles, working mostly in multifamily residential. Because they are investors as well as architects, the SCI-ARC grads take a hands-on approach to residential design that considers tenant longevity, maintenance, and management - meat-and-potatoes concerns that architects don't always have the privilege or obligation of considering. This informs and improves their future designs. Intro/Outro: "More, More, More," by The Andrea True Connection

Los Angeles architect Ray Kappe went on his own in 1954, completing dozens of Modernist houses and teaching. After serving as Founding Chairman of the Department of Architecture at Cal Poly Pomona, Kappe resigned in 1972 and started the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-ARC) which is the Hogwarts of architecture, turned out several thousand graduates, and is considered one of the top architecture schools in the country. Ray died in his 90's in 2019, but joining us from Los Angeles is his wife and SCI-ARC co-founder Shelly Kappe and their son, Finn Kappe. Later on, jazz from the UK with Claire Martin.

In this episode, I spoke with Los Angeles-based architect Barbara Bestor, FAIA. In our conversation, we talk about exhibition design, architectural photography, cultural contribution, and much more.Barbara is the Principal and founder of Bestor Architecture, which was established in 1995, currently has a staff of 30 people, and is recognized for consistently pursuing experimental architecture that engages the city through design, art, and urbanism. Barbara explores the architectural form through experiments in spatial arrangements, graphics, and color. Her varied and progressive body of work connects with people on many levels, often outside the boundaries traditionally delineated for architecture.Recent projects by Barbara include Ashes & Diamonds Winery in Napa, multiple offices for Snap in Los Angeles, and the Scandinavian Design and the United States exhibit at LACMA. Barbara is also the author of Bohemian Modern, Living in Silver Lake (Harper Collins, 2006), a book dedicated to the suppressed narrative of informal and eccentric modernism found in Silver Lake's rich domestic architectural history. Barbara received her undergraduate degree from Harvard University and her Master of Architecture from SCI-Arc and is currently the Executive Director of Woodbury University's Julius Shulman Institute.You can learn more about Barbara and her work at bestorarchitecture.comShow links and notes:Follow Barbara on Instagram @barbarabestorFollow Bestor Architecture on Instagram @bestorarchitecture  Scandinavian Design & the United States, 1890-1980 by Bobbye Tigerman and Monica ObniskiArchitect's Newspaper article on Barbara's LACMA exhibit‘Hood Century': How One Man Is Redefining Midcentury Modern Architecture | NY Times article on Jerald CooperFollow Jerald Cooper on Instagram @hoodcenturymodernBarbara's Archinect Interview on the Julius Shulman Institute

On this episode Professor Graham Harman returns to talk about architecture and philosophy. We had a fascinating conversation discussing architecture in relation to the history of philosophy. Graham has tackled just this topic in new book Architecture and Objects  (2022), which has recently come out with University of Minnesota Press. We discuss a whole host of topics including the role of the ‘big three' philosophers – Heidegger, Derrida and Deleuze –how their thought informs architecture, and the ways Graham draws on, develops, and applies his own distinctive object-oriented-ontology (Triple O) position to architecture. Graham also talked about teaching architecture as a philosopher, materialism, the dangers of ‘literalism,' ecology, the ideological dimension of architecture, and of course we spoke about buildings such as Imperial War Museum North, Sydney Opera House, Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, the Louis Vuitton Foundation, Newgrange,  and the Tate Gallery London. Graham Harman is a world-leading philosopher. He works at Sci-Arc in Los Angeles. He has authored several books, articles and journals and you can find more information about him on his institutional webpage. In the discussion Graham mentioned these books specifically Immaterialism: Objects and Social Theory (2016, Polity), Object-Oriented Ontology: A New Theory of Everything (2018, Pelican) and Speculative Realism: An Introduction (2018, Polity).

Nature-Based Systems ThinkingDavid and Laura Hertz — On Nature-Based Systems Thinking, on Resilient Communities through Design, on Their Award-Winning Atmospheric Water Sequestration Invention WEDEW, on the Democratization of Natural Resources, and on the Resilience Fund. ‘We live in a world of transitions between the fossil fuel and free world. There's no time to be apathetic and it's incredibly exciting to live in a time where investment being placed in incredible technologies that could help reverse the consequences we created. A world where we can see a distributed system and natural resources democratized. — David Hertz  About David and Laura HertzDavid has been working at the edge of sustainability and the forefront of regenerative architecture for over 35 years.

She also serves on the board of The Bay Foundation, 501(c)(3) non-profit environmental group that restores and enhances The Santa Monica Bay through actions and partnerships that improve water quality, conserve and rehabilitate natural resources, and protect the Bay's benefits and values.. A lifelong passion for surfing has made David and Laura active in issues of water quality and access. ‘18% of Californian budget is pumping water across long distances – this is huge. Desalination plants and water movement are not the cleanest solutions. 0.22% of fresh water is contained in water vapor and we forget that there is 6 times more water vapor at any given time than there is in rivers and lakes. This happens to sit at the highest point of the water shed, and once extracted then cooled, water becomes extremely accessible and free.' says David Hertz.Together, David and Laura founded Skysource to democratize water, and their efforts culminated in winning the Water Abundance XPRIZE. Since then, they have focused on making communities more resilient through design. After the Woolsey Fire devastated their community, David has become committed to helping friends and neighbors rebuild their homes and lives. David is also the co-founder of Resilience Fund for Advancing Climate Technologies, focusing on water, food, energy, and carbon transformation technology solutions to mitigate and adapt to climate change.

I'm joined by Bo Sundius, the owner of Bunch Design. His latest project, the Stop Making Sense Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), explores how you can make a small space feel big. ADUs are 1,200 square foot houses built on an existing single family home property. The space must include a kitchen, bathroom, and a bedroom. Bo highlights that this format allows for some income flexibility that can really help middle class dreams come true, provide a space to help care for aging parents, and respond to the housing crisis in California. Bo walks us through his firm's typical design process and how they went about designing this specific project. His approach is to think outside of the box, literally and figuratively, and imagine the space from the inside out. Making an 800-to-1,200 square foot home feel expansive and airy isn't necessarily about the construction, but rather cognition. His design includes vaulted ceilings, skylights, and minimal corners. Growing up in a home that was built on land and water, it's no surprise that Bo rejects the idea of cookie cutter houses. We talk about trends of pre-design without prefabrication, his thoughts about the sustainability of venture capital-driven innovation in design and construction, and the reality of 3D printed homes. We also touch on the future of property development in light of historical and recent economic booms and busts. About the Guest:Bo Sundius is the owner of Bunch Design, the Los Angeles-based design firm he founded with his wife Hisako Ichiki. Bunch Design's work crosses product, building and urban scales and has appeared in a wide range of publications, including the Los Angeles Times and Dwell Magazine. Previously, he worked at Jerde and at Roto Architects, both in Los Angeles. He is a graduate of Brown University and Sci-Arc.Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, TuneIn, or on your favorite podcast platform. Topics Covered:How Bo's unique childhood home changed his perspective on the possibilities of architecture Bo's non-traditional college and career path Background on Bunch Design, the firm that he started with his wifeThe pros and cons of ADUs The ripple effect of living in more adaptive and intuitive spaces Challenges and opportunities in 3D printed homes Ways to create flexibility in single-family homes and work environments About Your Host“Atif Qadir is the Founder & CEO of REDIST, a technology company making it easy for commercial real estate professionals to find and use the $100B of real estate incentives given out every year in the US.”Resources and LinksBo Sundius' LinkedInBunch Design WebsiteGrab our exclusive guide Seven Tips on How to Stand Out in Your FieldLearn more on the American Building websiteFollow us on InstagramConnect with Atif Qadir on LinkedInLearn more about Michael GravesLearn more about REDISTLearn more about the Alzheimer's Foundation of America

Special guest Paul Petrunia of Archinect joins the podcast to talk about the so-called early days of the internet and how Archinect began coinciding with Paul's architectural education at SCI-Arc. But the real reason for talking with Paul was to dig into why Archinect was originally started and how the community has evolved over the years—especially in the larger landscape of social media, podcasting, and blogging. We also discuss the role of an entity like Archinect having and expressing their values on the internet as guideposts for a community, the idea of YourName versus pseudonyms on platforms in regards to expressing one's thoughts and cancel culture, the civility or lack thereof in conversations online today, the different ways in which people communicate online, the underpinnings of the counterculture at SCI-Arc and Archinect, the effects of social media on one's mental health, and so much more.Please rate ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ and review TRXL podcast on Apple Podcasts (or wherever you listen) and don't forget to subscribe and share this episode if you enjoyed it!LinksNote: All links open in a new window in case you are listening to the podcast on the site.Paul on LinkedInArchinect websiteControversy at SCI-Arc over labor practices leads to faculty members placed on leave.

This week David and Marina break down SCI-Arc's controversial panel "Basecamp: How to be in an office" and share their own advice on "how to be in an office”. The two discuss choosing the right office to work at; why the idea of committing to an office is right, but also wrong; why side hustles are not the solution to low fees and/or low pay; why just ‘getting shit done' is not enough; why being underpaid is not just a ‘personal choice'; why the profession is struggling with low pay and long hours; and the nuances of SCI-Arc's panel discussion.

In architecture dimensions are crucial, ranging from prosaic units of scale and size to deeper and subtler considerations of a building's qualities and surface effects. This episode is about dimensionality, about its artifice, its strangeness, its unexpected qualities. SCI-Arc History+Theory Coordinator, Marrikka Trotter, will consider how dimensions coexist across vast distances of space and time with UCLA postdoctoral scholar in Astronomy and Astrophysics Louis Abramson, various dimensions of architectural representation with SCI-Arc senior faculty and Visual Studies Coordinator Devyn Weiser, as well as the perspective of a multi-layered queer aesthetics with art historian, curator, and author Andy Campbell.

In their elegant gallery on the third floor, we discussed: Young Austrian artists, The role of a gallerist / agent, The artist / gallery relationship, Art fairs, Government funding for the arts, The importance of the artist personality, The advantages of not being on street level, Young art collectors, Buying art with instalment plans, Serving vodka at openings, and the Sharing culture of social media. https://www.zellervanalmsick.com   About Zeller van Almsick is a gallery based in Vienna committed to an upcoming generation of Austrian artists. In the beginning there was no fixed space. For the past 5 years there were different venues in different cities. The nomadic character of the curated exhibition series under the moniker "Cornelis van Almsick Satellite" with its temporal character and its special locations were unique to Vienna. Spatial conditions had a great influence on how our shows were put together, where there was always a close relationship within the works exhibited and the qualities of the space. During this period we had the chance to work and intensify the connection to the artists and their work, as well as curators and collectors, rather than having the burden of filling a permanent exhibition space. Unconventional places (including Telegrafenamt Lehargasse 7 or Telegrafenamt Berggasse 35) offered the artists the opportunity to be part of novel group exhibitions and to sharpen their profile alongside like minded peers. The constantly changing exhibition venues posed great challenges, but the sometimes-difficult circumstances encouraged resourcefulness. Many of the initial obstacles were opposed by a plethora of ideas and dedicated collaborations - a valuable bond between artists and exhibitors was established. Cornelis van Almsick graduated as an architect at the Technical University of Berlin in 2007, after studying at the University of Applied Arts in Zaha Hadid's masterclass between 2003 and 2007. Since 2012 he has been working increasingly as a freelance curator. Exhibited artists included a.o. Daniel Richter, Heimo Zobernig, Wolfgang Lehrner, Kay Walkowiak and Angelika Loderer. Magdalena Zeller graduated in 2008 as an architect at the Vienna University of Technology. Subsequently, she obtained a Master's degree in Architecture from SciArc, Los Angeles in 2010. In 2012, she initiated COMA Studios, which she has been running with Cornelis van Almsick ever since.   Please be sure to visit our Patreon page and help support the podcast by being part of the conversation.

This episode asks what neon tubes and transportation routes might bring in terms of fresh life to the drawing space of contemporary architecture. It also considers the new scales of materialities emerging architects are bringing to bear. When does a line become a lining, when can a pipe seem graphic? What does it mean to build worlds out of gas and glass or to reimagine traffic as a line of flight? Or when does it make sense to leave lines behind, in the immense and growing pile of architectural techniques and conventions we are comfortable discarding, at least for a time. ‘Lines' discusses with SCI-Arc History+Theory Coordinator Marrikka Trotter, SCI-Arc design faculty Kristy Balliet, artist Lisa Schulte, and LA Metro's Dr. Joshua Schank what neon tubes and transportation routes might bring in terms of fresh life to the space of contemporary architecture. It also considers the new scales and materialities emerging architects are now employing in the field.

Ryan Scavnicky is the founder of Extra Office. His work is published in ArchDaily, Architect's Newspaper, SCI-Arc Offramp, UCLA POOL, Archinect, and Hyperallergic. In addition, he has over 6 years of experience in international offices in Beijing, San Francisco, and Vienna. He received his Masters in Design Theory and Pedagogy with distinction from SCI-Arc in Los Angeles. He studied at DAAP in Cincinnati for his Masters of Architecture. Ryan currently serves as the Visiting Teaching Fellow at the School of Architecture at Taliesin, an experimental graduate school located in the Arizona desert. He has previously held appointments at the University of Cincinnati, Kent State University, and SCI-Arc. In this episode, we talk about teaching and how he unexpectedly got his first teaching job after graduation. We talk about his time at Cincinnati University and at SCI-Arc, where he got a Masters in Design Theory and Pedagogy and how that degree helped him understand how to be a better design professor. We have a conversation about PhDs vs Masters, and how the role of the professor has been changing with time. He talks about his interests that are not architecture-per se, but more related to culture and how people get information and take a position through the Internet.
