Professor of Social Architecture at the University of California, Galen Cranz hasn't had conventional chairs in her house for some 20 years, out of concern for how damaging they are to our health. She prefers stools, including ones that wobble. She doesn't want us to keep still. Professor Cranz says right-angled chairs force a C-slumped spine, causing the chest to cave in, the pelvis to crunch, the lower back to collapse, our head to jut forward putting pressure on our neck. Many of us are left with all sorts of aches and pains, especially as we spend long hours in front of a computer. Professor Cranz concurs with research published in the American Journal of Public Health suggesting sitting for prolonged periods can be more damaging to our heart health than smoking. But, as she tell Kathryn Ryan, she has some solutions. Professor Cranz is a designer, a consultant specialising in chairs and body conscious design, author of The Chair: Rethinking Culture, Body, and Design and a certified Alexander Technique teacher.

How can leaders craft an environment where courageous change is encouraged? How can we discern what change really needs to happen? How does the makeup of our church, ministry, or organization impact our ability to evaluate where we are and where we are going?Serving as the Vice President for Development of the Christian and Missionary Alliance, Tim Meier has done some significant thinking about how the concept of social architecture can help organizations create an environment where people are safe to experiment with change.
Em 1926 o arquiteto Le Corbusier lançava uma pergunta ao mundo: "Arquitetura ou revolução?" Sua resposta ("arquitetura", naturalmente) sugeria que os efeitos da prática da disciplina no meio social contribuiriam para esforços de reforma social e política. Neste caso, sem recorrer à revolução, os arquitetos contribuiriam à formulação de uma nova ordem social atuando diretamente no projeto de novos espaços, produtos e cidades. O mestre franco-suíço explicitava seu posicionamento político (afeito à ordem e contrário a rupturas radicais) e a dimensão ideológica de sua arquitetura. Por outro lado, anos mais tarde, a geração de arquitetos liderada por Vilanova Artigas no Brasil bradava pela discussão da função social da arquitetura, colaborando para a construção de um espírito social mais progressista e eventualmente até revolucionário. Na França, seus contemporâneos ligados ao situacionismo, contudo, desconfiavam do papel ideológico da arquitetura e negavam qualquer possibilidade de transformação pela via da produção arquitetônica. Independente da vertente política e teórica, contudo, o tema da "função social da arquitetura" (ou do design e do urbanismo) foi recorrente ao longo do século XX. Que efeitos essa discussão tem hoje? Qual seu legado? As práticas projetuais, afinal, são ameaças ou oportunidades de transformação?

Since 2009, the young professional group NEWaukee has become an ever-present player in Milwaukee's social and cultural scenes. What began as a simple social networking group started by a handful of friends looking to meet their peers and explore their city has become a social architecture firm looking to change the way Milwaukeeans young and old live, work, and play in their city and beyond. The NEWaukee Night Market, an arts and crafts fair that takes over a chunk of W. Wisconsin Ave. for four nights every summer, has become a huge success. The NEWaukee-organized Young Professional Week, a statewide program featuring hundreds of free events, workshops, and panels, kicks off April 23. On top of that (and dozens of other events), NEWaukee has been working with the new ownership group of The Shops of Grand Avenue, offering input and shaping the redevelopment of the long-struggling downtown mall. For this episode of On The Record, Matt Wild dropped by the NEWaukee offices (which, coincidentally, are in the basement of the Grand Ave.) and spoke to NEWaukee president Angela Damiani about the future of the mall, the history of her group, and what, exactly, social architecture means.
Winner of this year's MoMA PS1 Young Architects Program, Andrés Jaque of the Office for Political Innovation, joins us on the podcast this week to discuss his winning design, COSMO. In a continued thread from last year's YAP, The Living's "Hy-Fi", Jaque's COSMO focuses on issues of sustainability and ecology – its main element is a series of pipes that will purify water with biological treatments. Before winning the YAP, Jaque's office already had a piece in MoMA's permanent collection, IKEA Disobedients (2011), the museum's first "architectural performance" acquisition. COSMO will be installed from June 23 through September 7.

Voices from 2020, Vol. 7, Published April 11, 2007. In this seventh episode of our Voices series, the four founders of the Monterey Institute for Social Architecture, including our podcast regulars plus Mike Thomas and Peter Gaarn, host a roundtable discussion on how the essence and aims of corporations have evolved since 2007 – and up to the “present day” of our current podcast – brought to you from the year 2020. Competition has been replaced by strategic partnerships as “the order of the day” throughout most business ecosystems as of this time, and it is the goal of each business to actively ensure proper care and attention to each of its stakeholders – even more so than in the past.
