Madeline Ashby is a freelance futurist and author of Glass Houses, a near-future sci-fi thriller about creepy tech, creepier tech bros, and the woman who dares challenge both.

Salty Urbanism is a design manual to address sea level rise and climate change for urban areas in coastal zones. It is a concept that refers to the ways in which cities and urban areas will respond and adapt to rising sea levels and the accompanying increase in salinity of coastal and near-coastal land. This phenomenon is caused by a combination of factors, including global warming, sea-level rise, and human development along coastlines. Unfrozen interviews Jeffrey Huber, Principal, Brooks + Scarpa and Associate Professor, School of Architecture, Florida Atlantic University, about how the concept is applied in South Florida. -- Intro/Outro: "Waiting for the Flood," by Love and Rockets --

In 2001, Nathan broke his neck snow skiing leaving him paralyzed and in tremendous pain. Regaining half of his body function over the next year brought new hope to his young family that he would walk again. That quickly changed as he lived through a second devastating neck break robbing him of the use of his hands, triceps, and everything below the chest. Facing fears and staring his excuses in the eye, he found new legs to live life standing taller. Nathan is a highly sought-after international keynote speaker, trainer, and bestselling author. He instantly connects with his audience and delivers invaluable tools to succeed in business and life. His courage and determination give hope and power to all who know him and hear his messages. Nathan loves to live life and has experienced snow skiing, scuba diving with sharks, skydiving, completing a half triathlon, rappelling off a 150-foot cliff, and riding a hand-powered bicycle 1,200 miles with his family raising money for, and personally delivering over 5,000 wheelchairs to developing countries.

Today's uncanny AI renderings are just the tip of the iceberg. Architects are banding together to clean up their digital houses, master data literacy, collectively bargain for their needs with software monopolies, and ultimately, prevent technology rendering them irrelevant. Enter the Innovation Design Consortium, an elite corps of leaders and technologists of America's 40 largest architecture firms, who have banded together to battle the bots. Unfrozen interviews its Chair, Peter Devereaux, Founding Principal of HED. Among many other things, he says, “We have to get out of the business of selling our time by the hour for the production of two-dimensional construction documents.” -- Intro/Outro: “Stuck in a Rut,” by The Darkness -- Discussed: The Road to IDC: Writing guidelines for the use of generative AI via the AIA Large Firm Roundtable (LFRT) See also: “The Future of Generative AI in Architecture, Design and Engineering,” Cornell Tech Key players: - Carole Wedge, Shepley Bulfinch - Bob Packard, ZGF - Brad Lukanic, Cannon Design Other leading lights in the AI 4 AEC community: Phillip Bernstein, Yale Chris Minerva, Thornton Tomasetti Greg Schluesner,Executive Committee Secretary, IDC Director of Design Technology, HOK Volker Buscher, Chief Data Officer, Data LeadersFormer Chief Data Officer, Arup Fish & Richardson - IP Law, terms and conditions, “give to get” Is this the “anti-Autodesk”?

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.

The Arctic has become an increasingly active geopolitical battleground for the United States, Russia, and China. Thawing ice caused by climate change opens the possibility of the region becoming a global shipping lane, potentially transforming international trade. China, although not an Arctic nation, has stepped up efforts to expand its presence in the area, creating new opportunities to enforce its interests abroad. The Arctic Council, previously a positive and active body for the region, has not met since Russia's second invasion of Ukraine, reducing international dialogue over the region. Meanwhile, the United States is in the process of increasing its local military deterrent. What are the interests of China, Russia, and the US in the area and how is each working to achieve them? How will climate change affect how nations act towards the Arctic? What will NATO expansion mean for the security of the region?Join us for a discussion with Evan Bloom, Senior Fellow at the Polar Institute at the Wilson Center, Dr. Marc Lanteigne, Associate Professor of Political Science at the Arctic University of Norway, and Pavel Devyatkin, Senior Associate at the Arctic Institute.Music by Sergii Pavkin and Mike Cole from PixabayFollow us at:Network2020.orgTwitter: @Network2020LinkedIn: Network 20/20Facebook: @network2020Instagram: @network_2020
In every office, there is someone with so much accumulated knowledge the boss wants to “clone” them. At structural engineering firm Thornton Tomasetti (TT), they've basically done that. The firm has taken the concept of a “digital twin” to a newly literal level – engineers can now quiz a synthetic clone of the firm's in-house welding and metallurgy expert, constructed from 30 years of his files and emails. Chief Technology Officer Robert Otani tells Unfrozen where TT is taking generative artificial intelligence (GAI) next. -- Intro/Outro: “Mr. Roboto,” by Styx -- Discussed: · ZHA's Patrik Schumacher keynote at the AIA Center for Architecture's AI+A Symposium, 16 December 2023 · Dall-E, ChatGPT, Midjourney, OpenAI · HOU 3000: Serpentine Galleries' virtual chief curator, Hans Ulrich Obrist · TT's Spark Intranet · Cornell Tech Jacobs Institute: The Future of Generative AI in Architecture, Design and Engineering · TT made a digital twin of welding and metallurgy expert Mike DeLashmit.

James Sanders edited Renewing the Dream: The Mobility Revolution and the Future of Los Angeles, out now from Rizzoli. With contributions from Nik Karalis, Frances Anderton, Mark Valliantos and Unfrozen's own Greg Lindsay, the book explores the forces behind the change in the mobility landscape of the most famously car-centric city on Earth. Through design provocations and disciplined research, Sanders and the authors see the city on the edge of a mobility revolution, already manifesting in the largest rail-transit-building campaign in America since World War II, that could soon see its dozens of square miles of surface parking and 1,500 gas stations converted to “higher and better” uses, including housing and public space around far less-consumptive electric-vehicle charging stations. -- Intro: “Low Rider,” by War -- Discussed: - James Sanders: Celluloid Skyline: New York and the Movies: 2001, Knopf New York: A Documentary Film with Ric Burns, 1999 - Donald Shoup - Woods Bagot & Renewing the Dream - John Rossant & CoMOTION - Christopher Hawthorne - Party time on the Expo Line - The California courtyard apartment complex & bungalow court - Courtyard Housing in Los Angeles, by Stefanos Polyzoides, Roger Sherwood and James Tice.

Through multiple earthquakes, misguided urban renewal schemes and changing economic conditions, the Ferry Building has stood at the foot of San Francisco's Market Street since 1898. In his book, “Portal: San Francisco's Ferry Building and the Reinvention of American Cities,” John King, the urban design critic of the San Francisco Chronicle, tells Unfrozen what we can learn from the indefatigable icon, and what that might mean for the future of downtowns in this uncertain era. -- Intro/Outro: “Ride Captain Ride,” by Blues Image -- Discussed: A Trip Down Market Street The City Beautiful Movement A.

To some, the postindustrial linear park, exemplified by the High Line in New York City, is one of the prime examples of the resurgence of the city that has taken place in the last few decades. But for Unfrozen guest Kevin Loughran, Assistant Professor of Sociology at Temple University, the postindustrial park is also a vector of gentrification and privatization of cities: a kind of “death show of zombie plants and railroad corpses.” Parks for Profit: Selling Nature in the City (Columbia University Press, 2022), his first book, offers a critique of the High Line, Buffalo Bayou Park in Houston, and the Bloomingdale Trail/606 in Chicago. -- Intro/Outro: “Post-Industrial Necrofolk,” by Vredenstal -- Discussed: The High Line Buffalo Bayou Park: Prime donor: Rich Kinder, Kinder Morgan / The Kinder Foundation Discovery Green Bloomingdale Trail/The 606 CMAQ funds via Rahm Emmanuel Philadelphia Rail Park Kelly Drive - Philadelphia The Central Park Conservancy The Trust for Public Land Millennium Park, a network of corporate-branded spaces BP Millennium Bridge Exelon Pavilions Atlanta Belt Line The QueensWay, NYC -- - The “picturesque” as a historical element of 19th-century imperialism. - Landscape as a colonial tool. - Parks conceived as safe spaces for white women and children in rapidly industrializing and ethnographically changing. - Counterpoint: Small parks pioneered by Jane Addams and Hull House. - Three-point manifesto: Ban private park corporations. Decolonize the links among race, capital and the aesthetics of nature > Provincialize the canon. Let the rails rot, or, “Why is a weed so offensive to a certain sensibility about social class?”

Verse Design LA is headed by Paul Tang and Courtenay Bauer. The architecture firm has taken considerable risks, sometimes playing the role of ambassador and accountant while pursuing value for clients – including telling prospective clients they shouldn't pursue the project. From high-speed rail stations in China to sprawling eco-resorts in Northern California, Verse Design has been around the Ring of Fire a few times, literally and figuratively. They share their wisdom with Unfrozen. -- Intro/Outro: “Value,” by Foliage Discussed: - Verse Design Shanghai – with Leon Dai - USC American Academy in China - Projects: o High-Speed Rail Station, Bengbu,China, 2010 o Thirty75 Tech, Santa Clara, CA, 2022 o Guenoc Valley, Lake County, CA (16,000 acres) – Ongoing Adrian Zecha, partner, founder, Aman Resorts - Manhattan = 14,478 acres California Forever, Solano County, CA: 55,000 acres - Pro forma as a design tool
The US is moving forward with a deal to unfreeze $6 billion in Iranian assets in exchange for the release of US hostages. The administration says the money will be used for humanitarian purposes... but Iran is saying something different. Boyd looks how Iran hopes to use the money, how the US says it will oversee the transfer of funds, and what to watch for. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The US and Iran have reached a deal that will see the release of Iranian American prisoners held in Iran in exchange for Tehran gaining access to its frozen assets. Also, authorities in Ecuador have arrested six Colombian suspects in connection to the assassination of presidential candidate Fernando Villavicencio. We look at the possible role of organized crime in the shooting. And, to celebrate hip-hop turning 50, we look at women who are rocking the mic across the globe. Plus, the mystique around North Korea, the so-called “Hermit Kingdom,” has allowed officials to profit through restaurants across Southeast Asia, where customers can try the cuisine and watch North Korean waitresses sing and even dance. But now, many of them are closing down.
John Lesak is a Principal at Page & Turnbull in Los Angeles, where he specializes in in the preservation, rehabilitation, repair, and reuse of historic structures. His work includes the adaption of historic modern office buildings, 1970s concrete structures, and a 1960s library into The Cheech, a museum for Chicano art in Riverside, California that opened last year to house the collection of actor Cheech Marin. Unfrozen and Lesak chat concrete, the broad meaning of historic preservation, and of course, the Cheech – the man and the museum. -- Intro: “Born in East L.A.,” by Cheech & Chong Discussed: The Cheech The Mercury (Union Bank, Getty Realty Building) – Claud Beelman, converted to residential in 2007 Local Law 97 – New York City Empire State Building retrofit by Johnson Controls Ranking of NYC buildings for energy performance Shift of LEED from incentive-based program to code Concrete cage match: Walter Netsch vs William Pereira Consider also Max Abramowitz Boston City Hall Early recognition of embodied energy impact, 1976-1980: Energy Use for Building Construction, Richard G.

Despite its looming omnipresence, the Venice Architecture Biennale had very little material on virtual/augmented reality and the metaverse. Unfrozen interviews two of the exceptions. First, Era Merkuri and Martin Gjoleka, principals of the Karlsruhe, Germany-based Heramarte, are the curators of the 2023 Albanian Pavilion, titled "Untimely Meditations: How We Learn to Live in Synthesized Realities." The project takes two real but highly adulterated 1950s public works projects in Tirana - the Dinamo Stadium and the Artificial Lake - and situates reimagined augmented-reality objects within them, projecting the results throughout the space at the Arsenale, and online. Second, Chidi Nwaubani is the founder of Looty, a “virtual restitution project” in which a team of artists stages a “heist,” in masks and dark clothing, to (perfectly legally) scan detailed 3D images of looted artifacts from Africa now sitting in places such as the British Museum. The 3D images of such works as the Benin Bronzes and the Rosetta Stone are then converted into non-fungible tokens (NFTs), with 20 percent of the proceeds going to grants for young African artists. Intro / Outro: “Untimely Meditations” by Shortwave Research Group Intermezzo: “Heist” by Noisestorm
Copenhagen has long been a paragon in urban planning circles. Karsten Palsson, CEO of Palsson Urbanism, says it's under threat from commercial development interests and weakened government, and now is the time to rearticulate and potentially export the principles that made it a paragon in the first place. Unfrozen sits with the author of "How to Design Humane Cities - Public Spaces and Urbanity," and the new "Urban Block Cities - 10 principles for Contemporary Planning." Intro/Outro: "Old Wine, New Bottles," by Silver Convention

Cassim Shepard is distinguished lecturer in architecture and urban studies at City College, City University of New York. Trained as an urban planner, geographer, and documentary filmmaker, Cassim produces nonfiction media about cities and places, with a particular emphasis on housing and civic life. His film and video work about cities around the world has been exhibited at the Venice Architecture Biennale, the Museum of the City of New York, the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum, the United Nations, Pavillon de l'Arsenale in Paris, and the African Centre for Cities in Cape Town. His current exhibition, Mass Support, running at CCNY's Spitzer School of Architecture through May 7, with a symposium scheduled for April 26, explores the legacy and contemporary relevant of Stichting Architecten Research (SAR). SAR was an architectural think tank active in the Netherlands between 1964 and 1990, which proposed a radical new way of thinking about mass housing. The essential gambit was to fuse industrial production with mass customization, a concept that has strong implications for today's urban issues.
