Podcast appearances and mentions of Thomas Heatherwick

Charlie Brooker talks about the return of his wildly popular tech and sci-fi dystopian drama Black Mirror. This new six-part series includes Paul Giamatti as a man using AI to reconnect to a lost love who has died, Emma Corrin as a digitally recreated 40s screen star and, for the first time, follow-up episodes of two of the show's most popular episodes: Bandersnatch and USS Callister.The Design Council is 80 and is celebrateing with a new book, Eight Decades of British Design. The Chief Executive of the Design Council, Minnie Moll, and Thomas Heatherwick, the designer famous for, among many projects, the cauldron for the Olympic flame at the games in London, reflect on the impact of design on our lives here in the past, now, and in the future.The Women of Llanrumney sounds as if it might be the new Gavin and Stacey, but this Llanrumney was a sugar plantation in Jamaica, the setting for Azuka Oforka's first play which examines the links of Wales with slavery, its brutality, the role of slave revolts in bringing about abolition and, looking at the lives of three women, two enslaved and one enslaver, discusses the nature of freedom.

HUMANISE: A DEEPLY PASSIONATE MANIFESTO. Thomas Heatherwick is a British designer whose varied work over two decades is characterised by its originality, inventiveness and humanity. As the founder and design director of Heatherwick Studio, Thomas now heads a team of over 250 problem solvers dedicated to making the physical world around us better for everyone. This team wants to see a world where the buildings and places around us are radically more joyful, engaging and human. The approach driving everything is to lead from human experience rather than any fixed design belief. "I advocate for servant architecture." "Working with neuroscientists and researchers, I see that once you get to city scale you go into stress when it's plain, flat, shiny, serious, monotonous and anonymous." "It's a real challenge as an adult to keep connected to true common sense."

Today on the podcast we are joined by one of the world's leading designers: Thomas Heatherwick. Thomas has created many of the world's most striking new public spaces and buildings. Heatherwick Studio is behind culture-defining projects like the Vessel in New York's Hudson Yard, and London's Coal Drops Yard in Kings Cross, where we are recording this podcast.They've also designed iconic cultural moments like the London 2012 Olympics cauldron, and cultural landmarks like the reimagined double decker bus in London. From Cape Town's coolest building to Google's new office, Thomas is building daring urban landscapes that will outlive all of us. Our cities and our buildings have such a profound impact on our lives, but often we don't have time to really think about why that is, and how things could be so much better. Today Thomas joins the podcast to talk about why we need to humanise cities - he's even written a book called Humanise which talks about exactly this. We also cover the surprising health and climate consequences of not taking this ambition seriously. We'll talk about why design matters for you, how to put the soul back into buildings and why we've got cities so badly wrong for a century.

Buildings inspire many emotions, like awe, serenity or even dread. CrowdScience listener Siobhan was struck by this as she passed a huge apartment block with tiny windows; it reminded her of a prison. So, she asked us to investigate the feelings that buildings can trigger. Architects have long considered how the effect of buildings on their occupants or passersby: asking whether certain features elicit feelings of wonder or joy... or sadness and fear. And now modern neuroscience has started to interrogate these very questions, too. How much of the way we feel about a building is to do with its intrinsic design, and how much is due to our individual brain chemistry and life experiences? Presenter Caroline Steel talks to designer Thomas Heatherwick about his ideas for improving public spaces; enters a virtual reality simulation in Denmark to learn about the emerging field of ‘neuroarchitecture'; and finds out why people just can't agree what makes a ‘good' or ‘bad' building.Contributors: Thomas Heatherwick, Heatherwick Studios, London Professor Zakaria Djeberra, University of Aalborg Professor Lars Fich, University of Aalborg Professor Edward Vessel, City College of New York Presenter: Caroline Steel Producer: Richard Walker Editor: Cathy Edwards Production Coordinator: Ishmael Soriano Studio Manager: Duncan Hannant(Image: Rear view of woman surrounded by old traditional residential buildings and lost in city, Hong Kong, China.

Blobs. Doppelgangers. Giants. Puppets. Incontinent objects. Mullets. Army of Darkness. All and much more are covered in Horror in Architecture: The Reanimated Edition by Joshua Comaroff and Ong Ker-Shing. The book examines how horror genre tropes familiar from books and cinema also appear in architecture, and in so doing, how we can find another way to understand and criticize our built environment, using the language of mass culture in place of “weaponized jargon.” Comaroff is the guest of honor on episode 76 of Unfrozen. -- -- Intro/Outro: “Scare Me,” by Deadbolt -- Discussed:   Immanuel Kant Edmund Burke Harvard Graduate School of Design under Rem Koolhaas Bigness, or the Problem of Large, by Rem Koolhaas Centre Pompidou = Terry Gilliam's Brazil Xintiandi, Shanghai Jan Gehl The Architectural Uncanny, by Anthony Vidler Built Beautiful, with narration by … Martha Stewart Mullets Army of Darkness Twins are in Doppelgangers Ordos 100, Inner Mongolia -              House House, by Johnston Marklee -              Gaston Bachelard -              Preston Scott Cohen -              Ai Weiwei H.R.

How do we tune into clients? How can we read them quickly? How can we take feedback well? How can we be collaborative? How can we help them tell their story?I always enjoy the dedications and acknowledgements in books. Such hidden treasures. Recently, I had the pleasure of wolfing down Thomas Heatherwick's latest book ‘Humanise – a Maker's Guide To Building Our World'.  It is a point of view. A statement of intent. Perhaps, a manifesto. I have re-read it a few times, it is a spine broken, weighted with post its, lines and scribbles in margins favourite. And as I dove into the acknowledgements, I found a line which prompted today's conversation:"Thank you to Ben Prescott, the book's designer, [who] was wonderfully collaborative and intuitively understood what I have been trying to express."And I am delighted to say that we have graphic designer and founder of BPD, Ben Prescott joining us today to explore that very point.Ben Prescott is the salt in the recipe when it comes to brand building. Vital. Unassuming. Impactful. His approach is thoughtful, quiet, with a range of references so broad ranging and enticing that his presentations are works of art in and of themselves. He reads people with ease and draws their story onto the page, the website, the packaging, the shop window. He is commercially mindful and excellent at the tangible, the hold it in your hand, the it will last and last. What he does, works.BPD has worked with brands including Marfa Stance, Alex Eagle, Kinjo, the V&A, Broadwick Hotel in Soho, Twig Hutchinson and the Festival of Fashion at the Fife Arms. And in each and every instance, he has shown true expertise in reading the client.We are going to examine that idea, the importance, the relevance, the practical application of reading clients, understanding briefs and taking feedback. Whether you are on the service side of the arts or someone who commissions, collaborates or briefs others, you are going to enjoy this one.

More than half the world's population are city dwellers, and, by 2050, the United Nations predicts that seven in ten people will be. With that in mind, architects are having to consider how architecture influences our emotional wellbeing in urban settings. 世界上一半以上的人口是城市居民，联合国预测到 2050 年，这一比例将达到十分之七。 考虑到这一点，建筑师必须考虑建筑如何影响我们在城市环境中的情感健康。 According to Colin Ellard, a research psychologist at Waterloo University, Canada, there is a lot of evidence which shows "the profound impact that the design of buildings has on how we feel, how we treat one another, and our overall psychological well-being". A study from the University of Heidelberg concluded that people raised in the countryside are less likely to have mental disorders than those raised in the city. The city of Vancouver in Canada, which is surrounded by mountains and ocean, recognises this need to connect with nature. It has included protecting ocean and mountain views in its urban planning guidelines. For example, tall buildings are erected in strategic locations that don't block scenic views for downtown residents. 加拿大滑铁卢大学研究心理学家科林·埃拉德 (Colin Ellard) 表示，有大量证据表明“建筑设计对我们的感受、对待他人的方式以及整体心理健康产生深远影响” ”。 海德堡大学的一项研究得出结论，在农村长大的人比在城市长大的人患精神障碍的可能性更小。 加拿大温哥华市被群山和海洋包围，认识到这种与自然联系的需要。 它已将保护海景和山景纳入其城市规划指南中。 例如，高层建筑建在战略位置，不会遮挡市中心居民的风景。 The British designer Thomas Heatherwick wants to make architecture less soulless and boring. He told the Guardian newspaper, "We need to fearlessly demand interestingness… and make buildings that nourish our senses." He has written a new book, Humanise, where he lists seven characteristics of a boring building. These include being too flat and straight. He says lack of depth means light and shadow cannot play on surfaces, while straight lines are at odds with nature and make buildings monotonous. 英国设计师托马斯·赫斯维克希望让建筑不再缺乏灵魂和乏味。 他告诉《卫报》，“我们需要无所畏惧地要求有趣……并建造能够滋养我们感官的建筑。” 他写了一本新书《人性化》，其中列出了无聊建筑的七个特征。 这些包括太平和直。 他说，缺乏深度意味着光影无法在表面上发挥作用，而直线则与自然格格不入，使建筑变得单调。 However, making buildings interesting is not always easy, as architect Rafael Vinoly found out in 2013 when he created the 37-storey skyscraper known as the Walkie Talkie in London. The building was admired for its curved exterior walls covered in reflective glass. However, it acted like a magnifying glass and reflected light which melted nearby cars and almost set fire to a carpet. A screen had to be added to prevent the building causing further damage. 然而，让建筑变得有趣并不总是那么容易，正如建筑师拉斐尔·维诺利 (Rafael Vinoly) 在 2013 年建造伦敦被称为“对讲机”的 37 层摩天大楼时所发现的那样。 该建筑因其覆盖着反光玻璃的弧形外墙而受到赞赏。 然而，它就像放大镜一样，反射的光线融化了附近的汽车，几乎点燃了地毯。 必须添加一个屏幕以防止建筑物造成进一步的损坏。 So, for your own wellbeing, surround yourself with buildings that bring you joy, and ideally a view of nature. 因此，为了您自己的健康，请让自己周围充满能给您带来欢乐的建筑，最好还能欣赏到自然景观。dweller 居民architect 建筑师architecture 建筑物design 设计urban planning 城市规划erect 建造strategic 有策略的，经过悉心规划的downtown 市中心的resident 居民soulless 毫无生趣的interestingness 有趣之处，趣味性lack of depth 缺乏深度（此处指建筑表面缺乏起伏变化）surface （建筑的）表面line 线条monotonous 一成不变的，单调乏味的storey 楼层skyscraper 摩天大楼curved 曲面的，有弧线的exterior wall 建筑外墙screen 隔挡，挡板

From one of the world's most innovative designers comes a fiercely passionate manifesto on why so many places have become miserable and boring and how we can make them better for everyone. Don't miss this rare opportunity to hear directly from the author, Thomas Heatherwick, in conversation with Enrique Landa, developer of Power Station. Together, they will explore how to bring more beauty and humanity to our built environment. Drawing on 30 years' experience in making memorable objects and buildings, Heatherwick offers both an informed critique of the inhumanity in most of today's contemporary building design, and a rousing call for action. Humanize visits landmarks and cityscapes around the world to articulate how places can either sap the life out of us or nourish our senses and our psyche. Design is not superficial: it has an impact on economics, climate change, our mental and physical wellbeing—even the peace and cohesion of our societies.

Designed by Dutch architects UNStudio, the building will have wood thermal insulation materials, structural insulation panels (SIPs) and wood-plastic composites, among other components. With efforts to find new ways to lock up carbon, developers, architects and net zero committed companies are asking, "Is wood the new concrete?" New technology in what's called "mass timber" production offers a carbon-cutting alternative to concrete and steel in the building sector.

How do you change the creative brief? You start with play. The designer Thomas Heatherwick was asked to create a monumental public work for the plaza of vast new development in the heart of Manhattan. The expected route would be to copy what’s worked before on other plazas in other cities – a statue, a fountain. But Heatherwick knew he had to push past what was expected. Spark & Fire follows the journey of “Vessel,” a massive piece of public art, from its roots in traditional Indian forms, to its sophisticated construction and multi-year assembly, to its reception by the public – a complicated story that is still unfolding. It’s a story of creative bravery, play, and persistence – at the drawing board and in the meeting room.Thomas Heatherwick is the principal of Heatherwick Studio, based in central London. The studio is known equally for bravura projects like the Seed Cathedral, Vessel, and the new Little Island over the Hudson, and for thoughtful, human-scaled commercial and residential developments small and large, like the delightful, award-winning Maggie’s Leeds.Follow along (with transcript and amazing photos) at https://sparkandfire.com/vesselSubscribe to the Spark & Fire weekly newsletter for images, stories and creative prompts: http://eepurl.com/hkmyMr

Every creative work you've ever loved has a hero's journey behind it. The first spark. The endless iteration. The inevitable setbacks. The magical people who appear to help.

In this episode, Christian Ward is joined by designer Thomas Heatherwick and Stylus’s senior editor of Product Design Dewi Pinatih to discuss the power of biophilia – how nature can contribute to better workplaces, buildings and cities. 

Sean Sutcliffe co-founded high-end furniture maker, Benchmark, with the late Sir Terence Conran in the early ’80s, when he was fresh out of Parnham College. Initially, he produced work for The Conran Shop, Heals and Habitat, before helping Terence change the face of the London restaurant scene by creating furniture and fittings for Bibendum and Quaglino’s. Subsequently, Benchmark has gone on to do commissions for the likes of the National Gallery, the Natural History Museum, the Eden Project, Vodafone’s world headquarters, and The Gherkin (or 30 St Mary Axe) to name just a few. Sutcliffe has also collaborated with the likes of Foster + Partners and David Rockwell and has just launched a new chair collection with the up-and-coming designer, Mac Collins. Most recently, the company made all the pieces for the Connected project – organised by the American Hardwood Export Council and on show at the Design Museum until 14 October 2020 – which featured furniture made from designers such as, Thomas Heatherwick, Jaime Hayon, Maria Bruun and Ini Archibong, among others. Starting with a team of three, the firm now employs 70 people. In other words, Sean has built a hugely successful business around skill, craft and, of course, wood.In this episode we talk about: his relationship with Sir Terence; how his love of timber began; studying at the legendary Parnham College under John Makepeace; finding the heart of a craftsman; the future of work; and the importance of apprenticeships.It’s searingly honest and really quite emotional.

When Tom Dixon fell into the design scene in the 1980s he viewed himself as very much outside of the establishment. His work was experimental and he formed a collective with other young designers like Thomas Heatherwick to create what they wanted. But he quickly became noticed, then lauded, then part of the establishment, then its figurehead, designing iconic products like his Copper Ball pendant, creating the interiors for Shoreditch House and Sea Containers House, and running an empire at Coal Drops Yard in London's King's Cross. Here, he talks about how he did it.Plus Eleanor Nadimi from One Night Eight Five, a textile and accessory company that launched in 2016, shares her experience of setting up an interiors brand.

Dezeen's Face to Face podcast series continues with an interview with designer Thomas Heatherwick. Although not an architect, Heatherwick has become known for his large scale building projects such as the Vessel in New York, Coal Drops Yard in London and the upcoming Google Campus in Mountain View, California. Dezeen's founder and editor-in-chief Marcus Fairs met with Heatherwick at his London studio to talk about his childhood fascination with engineering, his distaste for architectural discourse and how he completed his first building while still a student.

Dezeen has launched Face to Face, a new podcast series featuring the biggest names in architecture and design including Es Devlin, Norman Foster and Thomas Heatherwick, sponsored by Twinmotion. Get a preview of the series by listening to the trailer and remember to subscribe on Soundcloud, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Google Podcasts to make sure you don't miss an episode.

For Thomas Heatherwick, architecture and urban design go hand-in-hand. Like with all of his projects, he strives to consider them from a human scale capturing the essence of what already exists. His holistic approach brings a thoughtful dimension to architecture, design and urban spaces. Joining the interview is ArchDaily editor, Christele Harrouk, to explore deeper into how Heatherwick approaches his projects with an inspiring amount of integrity and humility.

嘉宾：HE，Bee（Insta：streetart_he, streetart_bee）主播：nada 剪辑：nada这期聊的是涂鸦的进行时。特别是在上海。上海有主题墙绘，但少有自由涂鸦。这差不多也是全球城市治理的趋势。最新的变化是，在默认可以合法画涂鸦的 M50 艺术园区，两面涂鸦墙也因为城市更新被拆除，新的合法墙面还没有出现。涂鸦创作者对此有何看法？我们试着提供一种答案。因为宣扬个性，涂鸦这几年的商业化之路很顺利。在城市更新的进程中，“棚户区美学”也被用作矛盾的软化剂。但实际情况是，涂鸦的随机性和破坏性并不受欢迎。涂鸦自由是个可以永远讨论下去的话题。想了解更多涂鸦历史，推荐收听另一档播客节目《艺术有读》第 13 期，“涂鸦≠街头≠嘻哈≠潮流≠Banksy”。# 名词解释· M50M50 创意园，位于苏州河畔，前身是上海春明粗纺厂，2000 年起开始转型为艺术创意园区。推荐阅读《上海人可以两次踏进苏州河》http://www.lifeweek.com.cn/2002/1029/2357.shtml· “千树”英国建筑师 Thomas Heatherwick 在上海莫干山路设计的商业综合体项目1000 trees，开发商为天安。建筑的造型是 800 根柱子撑起的“树碗”。该项目从 2010 年开始，进展缓慢，预计 2020 年开业。· 台湾的合法涂鸦区涂鸦从 1990 年代开始在台湾流行，当地人称之为“鬼飞踢”（graffiti 的谐音）。2007 年开始，台北、高雄、台中市陆续开放了多处合法的涂鸦区，通常位于公园，也有商业街。但“非法”的街头涂鸦仍然会被处以千元到万元不等的罚款。· 甜爱路位于上海北面的一条街，虹口公园附近。过去这里是有轨电车的停车场，两边高墙，人少。1970 年代风气保守，年轻人无处可去，会在这里约会，也常遭遇巡逻队的尴尬。近年来，政府希望把它打造成“恋爱街”。· graffiti, mural, street art通常认为，graffiti 指接近原教旨主义的涂鸦，带有非法性。mural 指墙绘。 street art，街头艺术，则常常指向经许可或委托创作的“合法”墙面作品，创作者也更有可能接受过“正规”训练。尽管一些街头艺术家最早出名可能是因为非法的涂鸦作品，但另一些人则会认为，涂鸦创作者和街头艺术家是没有交集的。有的涂鸦创作者则讨厌被冠上“街头艺术家”这么模棱两可的词汇，缺乏态度和历史感。· Utah& Ether一对来自美国的涂鸦创作者，作品遍布六大洲的墙面和火车，声称要挑战个人和公共财产的传统观念，和“vandalism”的社会语境。这是他们的网站http://utahether.com/· 嘻哈四大元素通常的说法是 rap，DJ，b-boying霹雳舞，graffiti 涂鸦。但这个说法并不具有权威性，也有人认为它过时了。· 上海城市空间艺术季上海从 2015 年开始的城市活动，为期近 2 个月。2019 年的主展场在新改造完成的杨浦滨江，同时在各个区设立分展场。· “士绅化”gentrification，指旧区重建后地价、租金上涨，高收入者迁入，生活指数提高，但低收入的原住民不得不搬离更偏远的地区。士绅化通常的标志被简写为ABC，它可以指代画廊（Art Gallery）、古董店（Boutique）、以及咖啡馆（Cafe），也可以是酒精（Alcohol）、自行车（Bike）、以及咖啡（Coffee）。推荐阅读《#Debate：街区士绅化是好是坏总有争议，但居住者有权选择才是最重要的》，https://www.qdaily.com/articles/58343.html· Banksy英国的匿名涂鸦艺术家，已经成为一位文化偶像，作品常回应当下的社会和政治议题，售价极高。2018 年 10 月在拍卖会上自毁作品，引发争议，拍卖行称他“并没有毁掉一件艺术品，而是创作了一件艺术品” 。推荐纪录片 Exit Through the Gift Shop (2010)。设备：Sony ICD-PX333 录音笔片尾：周云蓬《蓝色老虎》「上层建筑」是一档关于城市的播客节目。从设计出发，谈论城市有关的一切，既谈经济基础，也谈上层建筑。欢迎给我们写信 senttozoo@gmail.com

嘉宾：赵清（建筑师）主播：nada 剪辑：SJ起因是在建筑展上人挤人。想了想，这背后的原因不是一两句话能说清的。· 为何不同的艺术机构都在某一时刻意识到，该专门策划建筑展了？· 建筑要怎么展？毕竟我们在展馆里看到的都不是实物。· 如果策划一片厉害的建筑群，它究竟是展览，还是对城市空间的再塑造？· 外国建筑师来中国办展的时间，为何与他们在中国接项目的时间如此巧合？为了展开讲讲，于是有了这样一期节目。# 名词解释：· PSA上海当代艺术博物馆，成立于 2012 年，是内地第一家公立当代艺术博物馆。PSA 的建筑由原上海南市发电厂改造而来，最有标志性的是一座大烟囱。选址在黄浦江边，一开始便有意模仿伦敦的泰特美术馆（Tate Modern）。2013 年，PSA 开始“建筑与城市”的展览和研究，举办过展览的建筑师和事务所包括：篠原一男、尤纳· 弗莱德曼、托马斯·赫斯维克、藤本壮介、坂本一成、伯纳德· 屈米、伊东丰雄、巴克里希纳· 多西、坂茂、SuperStudio 超级工作室。其中又以日本建筑师居多。· 石上纯也日本建筑师，毕业于东京艺术大学。石上纯也风格明显，他的建筑常常是造型主导，而非功能，其中的代表作有“住宅与餐厅”、“森林幼儿园”、“儿童乐园”。他认为，建筑早已不再是一个简单的遮蔽物，而是巨大的世界空间里的“风景”。除了建筑，石上纯也设计桌、椅，造型同样是非常规的。· OCAT华侨城当代艺术中心，一家民营美术馆，由华侨城集团赞助。在深圳、上海、北京、西安都设有分馆。OCAT 的学术委员会主席是艺术史学者、策展人、芝加哥大学教授巫鸿。· 克莱因伊夫·克莱因（Yves Klein），法国 1950 至 1960 年代前卫艺术的代表人物，因单色画创作而出名，其中以 IKB 191为最，并出现了“克莱因蓝”一词。克莱因还创作了《单音-沉默交响曲》（The Monotone-Silence Symphony），乐团将单一音符持续演奏 10 分钟，再进入 10 分钟的沉默。· 谷之教堂石上纯也在山东日照白鹭湾设计的一座教堂。与传统教堂造型大相径庭，如弯曲折叠的纸片，高耸轻薄，缝隙狭长。据称 2020 年将完工。· 光之教堂日本建筑师安藤忠雄的代表作之一，1989 年建成，位于日本大阪。设计的重点是在教堂的一面墙上开了一个十字形的洞，营造出特殊的神圣感。· 朗香教堂位于巴黎东南面的朗香，柯布西耶设计，1954 年建成。它的风格难以归类，不规则的形状和曲面完全不同于当时流行的“白色盒子”式的现代建筑风格，也是非常不“柯布西耶”的建筑作品。· Superstudio超级工作室，源自 1960 年代的意大利激进建筑小组 Superstudio，被认为影响了诸多建筑师，但至今没有一件真正的建筑作品。他们提出的“超建筑”，主张重新审视建筑，把它作为一种批判政治、社会的文化工具。· 王大闳台湾重要的现代主义建筑师，和贝聿铭是哈佛建筑系的同窗。王大闳在战后的台湾设计了许多经典建筑，最出名的是国父纪念馆，但王大闳本人一直认为这是个“妥协”的作品，并不满意。后来，王大闳的传记作者倪安宇写道，从许多官建筑设计案中，“王大闳悟出了建筑为政治工具的道理”。 · 冯纪忠、王大闳建筑展指 2014 年在 OCAT 上海分馆举办的《久违的现代：冯纪忠、王大闳建筑文献展》。推荐阅读《史建谈“久违的现代：冯纪忠、王大闳建筑文献展”》，http://artforum.com.cn/words/7033· 埃莱娜·比奈建筑摄影师。埃莱娜擅长从建筑的细部入手，对建筑提出个性化的诗意解读，而非强调建筑的整体结构和通常的空间感。除了现代建筑，埃莱娜还拍摄了苏州园林。· 上海、威尼斯、深港双年展，和建筑的关系上海双年展从 2000 年第三届开始，加入了建筑的部分；威尼斯建筑双年展从1980 年开始举办，此前，建筑是艺术双年展的一部分。深港双年展的全称是“深港城市建筑双城双年展”，是全球少有的以城市或城市化为固定主题的双年展，特别突出建筑师的角色。除了城市更新，也谈论城中村、边缘地带和公民意识。· 菲利普·约翰逊美国现代主义建筑师，普利兹克奖的第一位得主。早年在哈佛大学主修历史和哲学，未能结业。后成为“包豪斯”代表人物密斯·凡·德罗的追随者。1930年，菲利普·约翰逊在 MoMA 成立了建筑与设计部门，对包豪斯和现代主义风格在美国的流行有很大影响。· 现代建筑国际展览会1932 年在 MoMA 举办的一场重要展览“国际样式：1922年以来的建筑”。策展人为菲利普·约翰逊和亨利-罗素·希区柯克，展出的重要建筑师包括柯布西耶、格罗皮乌斯和密斯。但也因未能重视美国国内重要的建筑师弗兰克·赖特，而引发争议。· 密斯“包豪斯”代表人物密斯·凡·德罗，主张极简风格，名言是“少即是多”。1929 年设计的巴塞罗那国际博览会的德国馆是其代表作。1937 年移民美国，并在芝加哥长期生活。推荐阅读：西班牙插画师、作家 Agustín Ferrer Casas 创作的漫画《密斯》。· Mies in BerlinMoMA 在 2001 年推出的展览· MoMA 的建筑改造MoMA 在 1997 年花费 8.58 亿美元改造，2006 年建成后展览及项目空间多了一倍。2017 年，MoMA 又计划耗资 4 亿美元扩建，今年 10 月重新开幕。至此，MoMA 已经翻新 6 次。一些人相信扩建翻新能让博物馆获得新生，但反对者认为，这不过是地产故事。· Steven Holl美国建筑师，以设计美术馆和文化教育类的公共建筑著称。在中国的项目包括成都来福士和北京当代 MOMA，皆为大型商业综合体。Steven Holl 认为，他在中国遇到了理想的甲方，而在美国，1980 年代开始建筑业的衰落，让建筑师失去尊严。· 西扎阿尔瓦罗·西扎，葡萄牙建筑师，普利茨克奖得主，颁奖词是 “西扎借由光来塑形他的设计，有一种似是而非的朴实感，并坦率地展现在世人眼前。”在中国美术学院设计的中国国际设计博物馆在 2018 年完工。· 四方当代艺术湖区位于南京佛手湖附近，最早地产商陆军打算建造精品住宅项目。2003 年，其子陆寻邀请 12 位中国建筑师、 12 位国际建筑师，计划推出建筑群。· 长城下的公社坐落在长城脚下的建筑群，2002 年初完成，由地产公司 SOHO 的张欣和潘石屹投资，邀请 12 名亚洲知名建筑师设计，定位是“私人收藏的当代建筑艺术作品”。曾受邀参加威尼斯双年展。现在是由凯宾斯基管理的高档酒店。· 金华建筑艺术公园2002 年开始的计划。公园中的 17 个小型公共建筑由 17 组、21 位建筑师、艺术家设计。公园于 2007 年开放，但 2012 年被报道“荒废”。· Heatherwick托马斯·赫斯维克（Thomas Heatherwick），英国建筑师，设计夺人眼球，常因合理性引发争议。因为 2010 年世博会的英国馆（“种子教堂”）设计，变得更出名。最近备受关注的是纽约哈德逊广场上的 Vessel。· B.I.G.正当红的丹麦建筑师 Barke Ingels 创办的事务所，他的设计理念是既要可持续发展，又要有趣好玩。· 皮亚诺伦佐·皮亚诺（Renzo Piano），意大利建筑师，普利茨克奖得主。最著名的作品是巴黎的蓬皮杜艺术中心。他在中国的第一个项目是江南布衣新总部，位于杭州。· 乡建指乡村建筑。包括民宿，也包括政府主导的农民住房的改造，有时两者会有模糊地带。· 泰晤士小镇位于上海松江，靠近大学城，是 2001 年政府发起的“一城九镇”项目的一部分，规划面积 1 平方公里，希望效仿英国的农村村庄，设计公司也来自英国。2004 年交付时，很快售罄，价格不菲，但实际常住的人很少，来拍婚纱的人很多。除了泰晤士小镇，其余 8 个郊区小镇分别模仿北欧、意大利、西班牙、加拿大、荷兰和德国的建筑风格。· “孤独图书馆”三联海边公益图书馆，由建筑师董功设计，2015 年在网上走红。所在的阿那亚是一个地产项目，位于北戴河海岸，已开发 6 期，网红建筑也与日俱增。· 王澍建筑师，普利茨克奖得主，中国美院建筑艺术学院院长，工作室起名“业余”。王澍大部分建成项目都坐落在杭州和宁波，他设计了中国美院象山校区；在杭州富阳，王澍同时完成了“文村”的民宅改造，和富阳美术馆、博物馆、档案馆。· 西岸位于上海的徐汇滨江地区，政府希望效仿巴黎左岸、伦敦南岸，打造文化地标。现有龙美术馆（西岸馆）、余德耀美术馆、上海摄影艺术中心、油罐艺术中心。· 衡复微空间位于上海的衡复街道的五岔路口，面积 20 平方米，原为一家轮胎店，在 2017 年由梓耘斋建筑事务所改造为展览空间，周边的菜场、居民楼的立面也被修缮。但该空间现已改为“智能交投与人工交投相结合的资源回收站”。· 冯纪忠建筑师，同济大学建筑与城市规划学院创始人，创办中国第一个城市规划专业及风景园林专业，担任同济建筑系系主任 27 年。1946 年从奥地利维也纳留学回国，曾参与“大上海都市计划”，但计划最终没能实施。冯纪忠反对苏联专家对上海发展“摊大饼”的主张，认为要保留老城区。1978 年，受上海市政府委托，冯纪忠设计了方塔园，“与古为新”，但受到批评。冯纪忠还设计了何陋轩。· 何陋轩位于上海松江的方塔园东南角，一片竹林深处，1986 年建成。建筑师王澍非常钟爱何陋轩，他认为何陋轩的“中国性”不是靠“表面的形式或符号”支撑，而是有强烈意识，并“贯彻到建造的细枝末节”。冯纪忠自己的说法是，何陋轩早十年做不了，因为文革刚过，接受不了不伦不类的东西。晚十年也做不了，中国的经济已经发展起来了，不会让他以茅草和竹子去盖一间房子，这显得太贫穷了。· 延光阁位于苏州艺圃园内，苏州园林中最大的水榭。设备：Blue Yeti（网红产品的扑街，已弃用）片尾：赵十「上层建筑」是一档关于城市的播客节目。从设计出发，谈论城市有关的一切，既谈经济基础，也谈上层建筑。欢迎给我们写信 senttozoo@gmail.com

Chloe peers into the life of top luxury décor designer Christopher Guy Harrison as his eccentric tales of near-death encounters and a string of luck propel him to a jet-set world. She finds out whether luck is on his side in his latest brush with death.

We visit Thomas Heatherwick’s often lambasted Vessel, in New York’s Hudson Yards development, to see whether pointed prose or people power is a better judge of character when it comes to unusual structures.

Each of EDEN's 20 luxury residences will have its own generous garden balcony, "recreating the verdant backyard access once ubiquitous across homes here," Thomas Heatherwick said. The façade is being constructed of concrete walls displaying an abstract map of Singapore's terrain. Developed by Swire Properties, EDEN is expected to be complete by the end of this year.

Instagram's one billion users love architecture. If you search for #architecture, you will get hundreds of millions of results. Some architecture publications have more followers than household names like Cosmpolitan for example. We also seem to love to use buildings as a backdrop to our own vanity, as the number of selfies on Instagram proves. But if architecture is so popular on the platform, does that mean that architects are now starting to design our buildings and public spaces to be Instagrammable? Australian architect Scott Valentine tells us that is increasingly what clients are asking for. So much so, he's created an Instagram design guide for architects. Carl Turner, who is behind the new multi-use building called Peckham Levels in London, which is also very popular on the app, says that Instagrammability was on the clients' brief. We also hear from architect Ippolito Pestellini Laparelli, who works for Rem Koolhaus's Office of Metropolitan Architecture. He is worried how the need to be always be on social media affects up-coming architects. Travel writer Helen Coffey explains how cities are exploiting Instagram to attract visitors with installations and space design – from big, signature pieces like Thomas Heatherwick's Vessel in New York to fairly crude attempts featuring temporary pastel walls with fake flowers and large letters spelling a city's name. But it is not just conventionally pretty and shiny that catches the eye of Instagrammers. St Louis photographer Demond Meek became popular with his haunting photos of dilapidated houses in his city. He credits the immediacy of the platform for getting him out of a creative rut. Art and architecture historian Philip Ursprung points out that photography and architecture have a long, common history, but also warns that many new cities are increasingly created to look good on photos and from afar, but are out of proportion and unpleasant to be in.

In this special edition of The Big Interview we look back at our best discussions with some of the world’s leading architects and designers. Join Tom Edwards for this flashback episode in which he presents highlights from Daniel Libeskind, Amanda Levete, Lord Norman Foster, Thomas Heatherwick and Kevin Roche.

Libby Purves meets designer Thomas Heatherwick; chef Michel Roux Jr; entomologist Dr Sarah Beynon and pilot Dorothy Saul-Pooley. Dr Sarah Beynon is an entomologist who has just opened Grub Kitchen, a restaurant with insect dishes on the menu. Based at her bug farm in Pembrokeshire, Grub Kitchen features such delights as cricket falafels and mealworm hummus. Sarah's fascination with the natural world started in childhood - at five she was given her first 'bug box'. In the course of her research she has studied insects around the world including Zambia, Indonesia, Bolivia and Honduras. Grub Kitchen is at Lower Harglodd Farm, Pembrokeshire in Wales. Chef Michel Roux Jr has spent many years working with organisations helping young people to find employment. In the series Kitchen Impossible he puts eight trainees with disabilities through an intensive four week introduction course to catering. The trainees are people who have been "written off" by employers because of their disabilities. Kitchen Impossible with Michel Roux Jr is broadcast on Channel 4. Thomas Heatherwick is a designer whose studio was behind projects such as the UK Pavilion for the Shanghai World Expo in 2010, the Olympic Cauldron for the 2012 London Olympic Games and the design of the New Bus for London. The studio is currently working on the capital's Garden Bridge which will span the Thames between the South Bank and Temple. The bridge, which has aroused much controversy, will serve as a free public space, featuring trees, shrubs, climbing plants, hedges and flowers. Dorothy Saul-Pooley is Master of the Honourable Company of Air Pilots - the first woman to head the organisation in its 85-year history. A lawyer turned pilot and flying instructor, she fell in love with flying at an early age but didn't take her first flying lesson until she reached her early thirties. In 2006 she qualified as a helicopter instructor and her logbook currently records over 9,500 flying hours at the controls of over 85 different types including fixed wing and rotary, piston, jet, glider and microlight aircraft. Producer: Paula McGinley.

Thom Mayne and Eui-Sung Yi join us to discuss their recently published book, Haiti Now – a herculean resource on post-disaster urbanism in Haiti, published by their urban think tank, the NOW Institute. The rest of this episode takes a look back at the first forty episodes of Archinect Sessions, as we wrap up season one. Each new episode has expanded, and sharpened, our idea of what the podcast can and should be. We've spoken with some pretty heavy hitters, including Denise Scott Brown, Kevin Roche, Patrik Schumacher, Tod Williams and Billie Tsien, Bjarke Ingels, Thomas Heatherwick, Christopher Hawthorne and Michael Rotondi, as well as some up and comers, like Andrés Jaque (winner of MoMA's 2015 YAP), Jimenez Lai, and Nicolas Moreau and Hiroko Kusunoki (winners of the Guggenheim Helsinki competition). It's been a blast, but moving forward, we want to tighten up, dig deeper and move the proverbial furniture around. We'll start up season two in the coming weeks, but while we're on hiatus, we'd love to get your feedback – tell us what you think of the podcast by taking this short survey, or rating us on iTunes. Your thoughts will help us shape Sessions' next season.

Prior to his artist talk at the Hammer Museum last week, nearing the culmination of his massively successful "Provocations" show, Thomas Heatherwick spoke with Paul and Amelia about his firm's personality and design approach. We discuss his interview on this week's single-focus episode, touching on his diverse project list, his "doubting Thomas" identity, and his attitudes towards "franchised" architecture. If you're in Los Angeles, "Provocations" will be at the Hammer Museum through May 24. To hear more about the exhibition, listen to our conversation with curator Brooke Hodge, featured on "Three Funerals and a Curator".

Mark Lawson unwraps interviews with arts headline makers of 2012, in the second of two programmes. Writer E L James reflects on a year in which she became a global publishing phenomenon, with her best-selling trilogy which began with Fifty Shades of Grey. Mark looks back at the Olympic Opening Ceremony, with director Danny Boyle and designer Thomas Heatherwick, who created the highly original cauldron for the Olympic flame. Singer Emeli Sandé remembers how nervous she felt moments before performing at the Opening Ceremony, and discusses a year in which she has become one of the UK's most high-profile musicians. Broadcaster and writer Clare Balding considers her role as a presenter at the Olympic and Paralympic games, and reveals how she allowed her mother three chances to veto content in her best-selling memoir, published this year. Writer Lolita Chakrabarti and actor Adrian Lester talk about their collaboration on the acclaimed play Red Velvet, based on the life of Ira Aldridge, an African-American actor whose arrival on the 19th century London stage provoked debate and dissent. Producer Ella-mai Robey.

Las Vegas band The Killers; Thomas Heatherwick on his Olympic cauldron; Talking Heads front-man David Byrne; Booker Prize shortlist; a review of Meryl Streep and Tommy Lee Jones in Hope Springs; Mercury Music Prize contenders discussed.

With Mark Lawson. Jonathan Pryce tackles the title role of Shakespeare's King Lear for the first time, in Michael Attenborough's new production at the Almeida Theatre in London. Novelist Kamila Shamsie reviews. Thomas Heatherwick reflects on his design for the London 2012 Olympic Cauldron. Unveiled at the climax of the opening ceremony in July, its 204 copper petals were carried into the stadium by competing teams to join up into one flame which burned throughout the Olympics and Paralympics. As it is dismantled, each country is taking home one of the petals. The contenders for the Barclaycard Mercury Prize for album of the year are revealed today. Chair of Judges Simon Frith discusses the 12 acts in the running, which range from guitar bands to folk and rap acts. Last year's winner was P J Harvey, who is the only artist to have won twice. Producer Nicki Paxman.

With Mark Lawson. Novelist John Irving discusses his new book In One Person, which has, like all of his novels, been written back to front with the ending first. It's a doorstop rather than a novella, but Irving explains that when you're looking at the impact of 30 or 40 years on a life it's hard to be brief. Trade and politics forged a bond between Manchester and the countries of West Africa that dates back to the 19th century. A new citywide festival - We Face Forward: Art from West Africa Today - seeks to update that bond through contemporary art and music. Writer Jackie Kay, whose memoir exploring her Scottish and Nigerian heritage won the Scottish Book of the Year Award last year, joined Mark on the festival's art bus and took a tour round the exhibitions. British designer Thomas Heatherwick was described by Terence Conran as a "Leonardo da Vinci of our times". His range of creations includes a bridge that rolls open and closed, the new Routemaster bus, a seed-bank and the cauldron to hold the Olympic Flame. Sarah Crompton of the Daily Telegraph considers two displays of Heatherwick's work: a forthcoming exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum, and a new book. Producer Erin Riley.

On Start the Week Andrew Marr goes in search of ancient landscapes with the writer Robert Macfarlane. With a mix of geology, cartography and natural history, Macfarlane journeys on foot to explore ideas of pilgrimage, trespass and ancient pathways. Jonathan Meades is equally preoccupied with a sense of place, but turns his attention to its architecture and the futility of landmark buildings. Anna Minton argues against the increasing privatisation of public space. And size is no matter to the designer Thomas Heatherwick - from a new London double decker, to a bridge that curls up and a handbag made from zips - he always has the human scale in mind. Producer: Katy Hickman.
