Podcasts about stefan al

In this episode of the A is for Architecture Podcast, I spoke with Associate Professor of Urban Planning at Hunter College, Stefan Al, and Professor at New York Institute of Technology, Tom Verebes, about their recent co-edited book, The Urbanism Reader: Design, Technology, Culture and the Future of Cities, published by Bloomsbury (2025). Orientated towards design in the contemporary city, The Urbanism Reader gathers together key texts that explore urban theory, planning and development pertinent to the city as we find it now – a messy, networked and highly technological state which inflects, if not forms, the modern citizen and their social world . Bringing together influential writings from scholars and practitioners, including greats like Venturi and Scott Brown, Tschumi, Frampton, Kwinter, Eisenman, Koolhaas and  Maas, but also introducing new voices and accents, including Anne Whiston Spirn, Anaya Roy, Walter Hood and Andrea Moneta among many others, the book presents a good overview of key themes, like virtuality, computationality, informality, equity, ecology, density and connectivity. To stand back from all this thinking and just look is thrilling really. Have a listen and find out why you should. Tom and Stefan are great to hear.Stefan also leads his own practice, Stefan Al Architects and Tom is founder and Creative Director of OCEAN CN. Both gentlemen can be found on LinkedIn and Instagram.  The book is linked above.#Urbanism #CityPlanning #UrbanDesign #TheUrbanismReader #SustainableCities #UrbanTheory #SmartCities #StefanAlAndTomVerebes #ArchitetcurePodcast #AisforArchitecturePodcast+Music credits: ⁠Bruno Gillick

Hemels wonen - wonen op hoogte - hoe hemels is dat nou? Wat betekent hoogbouw voor de stad en het straatleven, en hoe maak je goede woontorens? In deze driedelige serie praten hoofdredacteur Merel Pit en journalist Tracy Metz met architecten en stedenbouwkundigen door over wonen in hoogbouw. Deze aflevering is de derde en laatste van de reeks over Hemels wonen. Merel en Tracy praten door met Stefan Al, die in China en de US veel ervaring opdeed met hoogbouw, en Daan Roggeveen, oprichter van MORE architects en werkzaam in Amsterdam en Shanghai. Beide schrijven en spreken ze vanuit hun eigen ervaringen over hoogbouw en stedenplanning.

This week Felix Salmon, Emily Peck and Elizabeth Spiers are joined by author and architect, Stefan Al to talk all about skyscrapers and his new book, Supertall. They talk about the human desire to build tall buildings (and the backlash to them), why parts of New York don't work, but Hong Kong does, and why people keep paying premiums for apartments that sway.  In Slate Plus: All about glass.  Email: slatemoney@slate.com Podcast production by Cheyna Roth.  Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of Building to Zero, Brendan Wallace sits down with Stefan Al, architect, urban designer, educator and TED Resident. The two dive into how cities are cracking down on carbon, the lasting impacts of the pandemic, and the future of building materials.Short on time?

Trees have proven to decrease carbon in our atmosphere, keep cities clean, and even reduce anxiety … but how exactly do they do it? Dan takes us behind the bark to understand the anatomy of our gentle green giants and how every root, leaf and twig work together to improve our planet, and what we can do to help support them in the fight against climate change. TED Climate is produced and edited by Sheena Ozaki, mixed by Sam Bair, and hosted by Dan Kwartler. This episode adapted two lessons originally produced in animated form by the TED-Ed team. “What if there were 1 trillion more trees?" was written by Jean-François Bastin. "What happens if you cut down all of a city's trees?” was written by Stefan Al. Both pieces were produced with editorial support from Alex Rosenthal. Special thanks to Gerta Xhelo, Stephanie Lo, Michelle Quint, Banban Cheng, and Anna Phelan.

From raging wildfires in Australia to sub-zero winter storms in Texas, we're seeing a rise in extreme weather across the globe. But how can we tell what's caused by climate change, and what's just bad weather? To answer this question, Dan breaks down the differences between weather and climate—what they are, how we predict them, and what those predictions can tell us. And then we visit a country that should LITERALLY be underwater to see how they've used human ingenuity to stay afloat, and what we can learn from them to do the same.

Inspired by Stefan Al’s “The Air-Conditioned Cowboy”, Nontsi and Lindelani discuss the similarities of the becoming of Las Vegas to that of Maboneng. They further discuss the good and bad that Maboneng Precinct has brought to the community of downtown Johannesburg. 

Mijn naam is Inge Janse, adjunct-hoofdredacteur van Gebiedsontwikkeling.nu. In de komende 40 minuten praat ik met Stefan Al: ik in Rotterdam, hij in New York. Stefan studeerde af als architect bij de TU Delft. Sindsdien werkt hij wereldwijd aan de grootste gebouwen en gebieden. Hij is bovendien hoogleraar op meerdere universiteiten, TED-spreker en adviseur voor organisaties als Unesco en de Verenigde Naties. In deze podcast vertelt hij over zijn ervaringen met bouwen in de drukte van de stad en boven het spoor, de mogelijkheden voor duurzame hoogbouw, plus de kansen én gevaren van hoogbouw voor Nederland.

By 2050, it's estimated that over 65% of the world will be living in cities. We may think of nature as being unconnected to our urban spaces, but trees have always been an essential part of successful cities. Humanity has been uncovering these arboreal benefits since the creation of our first cities thousands of years ago. So what makes trees so important to a city's survival? Stefan Al explains. [Directed by Mette Ilene Holmriis, narrated by Addison Anderson, music by Bamm Bamm Wolfgang].

In January 1953, a tidal surge shook the North Sea. The titanic waves flooded the Dutch coastline, killing almost 2,000 people. 54 years later, a similar storm threatened the region. But this time, they were ready. This was thanks to a massive, interlocking system known as the Delta Works— the most sophisticated flood prevention project in the world. Stefan Al dives into this marvel of engineering. [Directed by JodyPrody, narrated by Addison Anderson, music by André Aires / AIM Creative Studios].

Beyond Mobility: Planning Cities for People and Places (Island Press, 2017) by Robert Cervero, Erick Guerra and Stefan Al is about prioritizing the needs and aspirations of people and the creation of great places. This is as important, if not more important, than expediting movement. A stronger focus on accessibility and place creates better communities, environments, and economies. Rethinking how projects are planned and designed in cities and suburbs needs to occur at multiple geographic scales, from micro-designs (such as parklets), corridors (such as road-diets), and city-regions (such as an urban growth boundary). It can involve both software (a shift in policy) and hardware (a physical transformation). Moving beyond mobility must also be socially inclusive, a significant challenge in light of the price increases that typically result from creating higher quality urban spaces.

Las Vegas has gone through some phases. It started out as the Wild West, with saloon doors and wagon wheels. Then it decked itself out in midcentury modern sleekness, and moved on to twenty-story high neon signs. Then came Disney-like theme parks featuring castles and pirates, followed by replicas of Venetian canals, New York skyscrapers, and the Eiffel Tower. More recently, the Strip decided to get classy, with casinos designed by famous architects and zillion-dollar collections of art. Join Stefan Al and myself in this episode as he shares the wonderful history of Las Vegas architecture! We talk about the different Vegas eras, how feverish competition fueled this story, and how the strip not only reflected trends but also magnified them and sometimes even initiated them.   Visit Stefan on his site at https://www.stefanal.com/ And grab your copy of his book, The Strip: Las Vegas and the Architecture of the American Dream, at https://www.stefanal.com/the-strip   Connect with Curiosityness...

This week we’re joined by Robert Cervero, Erick Guerra, and Stefan Al to talk about their new book called Beyond Mobility. They talk about the idea of recalibrating cities and how we can put people first when we think about transportation and the built environment. We also talk about silly regulations such as one parking space per toilet seat and some of the examples of good transportation and planning we can borrow from around the world.   Interested in checking out the book?
