Podcast appearances and mentions of Victor Gruen

几乎所有习以为常的事物，追溯其源流的过程中总是会有惊喜。比如购物中心——当大型商场变得越来越常见，最早探索这一模式的设计师、建筑师、规划评论家Victor Gruen的名字，却已经基本被遗忘了。他的职业经历称得上传奇，不仅将“零售设计”这一原本边缘的行业方向带上了高峰，更始终强调商业与公共属性的平衡、以及大型建筑带给消费者的丰富体验。当他将购物中心的理念成功落地到1950年代的美国郊区之后，“大盒子”毫无悬念地在全美被快速复刻，也快速走偏。甚至到1990年代，诸多经营不善的大型购物中心都成了美国零售业新的心病。消费者已经老去，谁说商场就会永远年轻？本期小历史，就让我们沿着Victor Gruen的职业生涯，来看看“美国式”购物中心诞生的始末。| 主播 |肖文杰、约小亚| 时间轴 |01:13 谁创造了“购物中心”？06:23 第五大道上的零售店设计实验12:17 194X年的美国城镇规划15:35一份完备的“购物中心开发指南”19:48 Northland vs Southdale，购物中心的两个模板31:31 同行对“购物中心”理念的进一步打磨37:05 作为投资品的购物中心40:11 彻底改善市中心，还是只要一段景观道？45:13 大盒子入侵全世界之后| 延伸资料 |Hardwick, M.

The shopping mall is as American as apple pie and the magnetic draw of the one-stop shop is difficult to escape. Yet for all the influence malls have had, they started out practically as the vision of one man. From New York's Fifth Avenue, to big box stores, to the mall, we explore how Victor Gruen's design of retail changed the way we shop, socialize, and experience public life.

Why did Walt Disney have Herb Ryman's E.P.C.O.T.'s concept art altered from the original version? In this episode of Distory, we go back in time to explore the E.P.C.O.T. that never was, Walt Disney's original vision for the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow. After exploring the influence of Victor Gruen on Walt's plans, we move through the city step-by-step, finding nooks and crannies of previously unexplored history along the way courtesy of a Distory listener's exclusive interview with Imagineer George McGinnis. Along the way, we find some not-so-magical policies that the average American wouldn't particularly like, a pub that pays homage to a Disney animation hangout, and a lost airport that can still (sort of) be found at Walt Disney World today. Note: Note: This episode sadly had some conversion issues, causing the audio to not sync perfectly with the video at times. Our apologies!

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for February 15, 2024 is: enervate • EN-er-vayt • verb Enervate is a formal word used for situations in which someone or something is being sapped of physical or mental vigor, vitality, or strength. The verb is most common in the participial forms enervated and enervating, as in "children enervated by the summer afternoon heat" and "a tedious discussion we found completely enervating." // The person giving the lengthy toast seemed to be completely unaware of the degree to which he was enervating his audience. See the entry > Examples: "Toward the end of Paved Paradise … [author, Henry] Grabar follows housing activists' efforts to legalize in-law apartments carved from single-family houses, in many cases from the garage. The mere fact of this movement epitomizes the underlying problem: Local regulations have blocked apartments while allowing parking structures because, for most of seven or eight decades, city planners got hung up on the wrong issue. The visionaries of Victor Gruen's day simply failed to foresee how the relentless promotion of parking spaces might enervate cities and crowd out other needs." — Dante Ramos, The Atlantic, 4 June 2023 Did you know? Do not let any haziness in your understanding of enervate cause you to be enervated. Confusion about this somewhat rare word is reasonable, and aided greatly by the fact that although enervate looks like a plausible product of the joining of energize and invigorate, it is actually an antonym of both. Enervate comes from a form of the Latin verb enervare, which literally means "to remove the sinews of," and figuratively means simply "to weaken." Enervare was formed from the prefix e-, meaning "out of," and nervus, meaning "sinew, nerve." So etymologically, at least, someone who is enervated is "out of nerve." Knowing this, you no longer need be unnerved by it.

Avete presente quel senso di smarrimento e di vertigine che si prova dentro i grandi centri commerciali? Non è una vostra impressione, dietro c'è una volontà precisa. Scoprite la storia di Victor Gruen che prima inventò i centri commerciali e poi votò la vita a cercare di distruggere la sua invenzione. TRASCRIZIONE [ENG translation below]Una delle tante belle cose del vivere a Cagliari è che qui in Sardegna non ci sono i grandi centri commerciali a 20.000 piani, con la superficie che è quella di una piccola cittadina di provincia.Sì, perché a me questi posti fanno venire l'angoscia, e non lo dico così per dire, mi viene proprio, fisicamente sto male. Prima di tutto perdo l'orientamento, non so più dove andare, non riconosco più i punti di riferimento miei, non trovo l'uscita e più giro a vuoto e più mi innervosisco, e più mi innervosisco e meno riesco a trovare l'uscita.Mi è capitato diverse volte, appunto, persa in uno di questi giganteschi (e dico giganteschi) centri commerciali, di dover chiamare a casa per dire aiuto, non riesco a uscire, mi dici dov'è l'uscita del parcheggio tal dei tali, eccetera.Perché ve ne sto parlando? Perché mi è tornato in mente il buon vecchio Gruen, Victor Gruen, un architetto austriaco che a metà degli anni '50 ha inventato il centro commerciale, è andato a costruirlo negli Stati Uniti, boh, forse abitava già negli Stati Uniti, comunque, ha costruito il primo centro commerciale e lui si è inventato tutte queste cose che noi vediamo adesso in ogni supermercato: la musica per far trascorrere il tempo più lentamente, mettere le cose che vogliamo che la gente compri più in vista, mettere le gomme americane e le batterie alla cassa e queste cose qua, mettere la musica, mettere le luci in un certo modo, cambiare spesso la disposizione così che il cliente, la cliente abbia sempre questo senso di ma dove sono? Ma cosa faccio?Che sono anche le stesse tecniche usate all'interno dei casinò per far perdere la cognizione del tempo, infatti c'è sempre luce innaturale, non ci sono mai finestre, non ci sono mai orologi, così non si avverte il trascorrere del tempo.La cosa divertente, ironica più che divertente, è che dopo aver creato tutto questo sistema, il signor Victor Gruen, e aver stabilito come si fa a far rimanere una persona più a lungo nel centro commerciale, si è reso conto che tutti i suoi insegnamenti erano stati stravolti per approfittare della clientela e quindi ha misconosciuto, si è rivoltato contro la sua stessa creazione.Oggi si parla di Gruen Transfer, effetto Gruen, cioè quello che noi proviamo dentro il supermercato, dentro il grande magazzino: perdiamo un po il senso dell'orientamento e veniamo presi anche da questa gioia dell'acquisto e compriamo cose che non ci servono.Ecco, a me il Gruen transfer fa venire un gran nervoso, mi fa perdere l'orientamento e non vedo l'ora di uscire, di scappare. Niente grandi magazzini per me, niente super centri commerciali.TRANSLATIONOne of the many nice things about living in Cagliari is that here in Sardinia there are no big 20,000-story shopping malls, with the area being that of a small provincial town.Yes, because to me these places give me anxiety, and I'm not just saying that, I really get, physically I'm sick. First of all, I lose my orientation, I don't know where to go anymore, I don't recognise my own landmarks, I can't find the exit, and the more I go around in circles, the more nervous I get, and the more nervous I get, the less I can find the exit.It has happened to me several times, actually, lost in one of these giant (and I say giant) shopping malls, that I have to call home to say help, I can't get out, can you tell me where is the exit of such-and-such parking lot, etc.Why am I telling you about this? I was reminded of good old Gruen, Victor Gruen, an Austrian architect who in the mid-1950s invented the mall, and went to build it in the United States, IDK, maybe he was already living in the United States, anyway, he built the first mall and he came up with all these things that we see now in every supermarket: music to slow down time, put the things they want people to buy more prominently, put chewing gum and batteries at the checkout and these things here, put music, put the lights a certain way, change the layout often so that the customer always has this sense of but where am I? But what am I doing?These are also the same techniques used inside casinos to make people lose track of time, in fact, there is always unnatural light, there are never any windows, there are never any clocks, so you don't feel the passage of time.The funny thing, ironic rather than funny, is that after creating this whole system, Mr Victor Gruen, and establishing how to make a person stay longer in the mall, realised that all his teachings had been twisted to take advantage of the clientele and so he repudiated, turned against his own creation.Today we talk about Gruen Transfer, the Gruen effect, that is, what we experience inside the supermarket, inside the department store: we lose our sense of direction a bit and we also get caught up in this joy of buying and buying things we don't need.You see, to me, Gruen transfer makes me very nervous, makes me lose my bearings, and I can't wait to get out, to run away. No department stores for me, no super malls.Victor Gruen https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_Gruen

The Mall of America, in Bloomington, Minnesota, opened on 11th August, 1992, with more than 10,000 employees, 330 stores, and a Camp Snoopy theme park. With a gross area of 4.8 million square feet, the mall remains the largest in the United States; its roughly 40 million annual visitors equal to around eight times the population of the state of Minnesota. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly reveal how the mall is heated, despite having no central heating system; explain how the modern American shopping mall was, bizarrely, derived from Victor Gruen's socialist utopia; and consider how it overcame the ‘Megadeath' label to become one of America's top tourist attractions…  Further Reading: • ‘Why You Should Visit Mall of America for Its Experiences Over Shopping' (Business Insider, 2022): https://www.businessinsider.com/photos-mall-of-america-experiences-better-than-shopping-minneapolis-2022-4?r=US&IR=T#away-from-the-big-attractions-that-make-it-unique-mall-of-america-just-felt-like-any-upscale-mall-35 • ‘The Unofficial Guide to Mall of America - By Beth Blair' (Unofficial Guides, 2016): https://www.google.co.uk/books/edition/The_Unofficial_Guide_to_Mall_of_America/U4wWDgAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=mall+of+america&pg=PA12&printsec=frontcover • ‘Mall of America Preview' (WCCO 4 News, 1992): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PZcP4A5CkQ #80s #US #Business #Fashion #Architecture Love the show?

Az évad harmadik, egyben karácsonyi epizódjában Sudár Orsolyával és Takács Ákossal beszélgettünk, akik ismerősek lehetnek a hallgatók számára, hiszen egy másik Partizán podcast, A Város Másik Oldalán szerkesztői. A karácsonyi forgatag első számú helyszínei a plázák és bevásárlóközpontok. A plázák világa pont akkor kezdi meghódítani a magyar képzeletet, és egyben köztereinket is, mikor a fogyasztói utópia kitüntetett terei egymás után húzzák le a rolót a hanyatló Nyugaton. Utánajárunk, hogy milyen politikai gazdaságtani folyamatok játszódhatnak le ezek mögött, és feltesszük azt a kérdést, hogy mit kezdhet a baloldal a gigantikus fogyasztói monstrumokkal. A szakmázás mellett pedig gyakran nosztalgikus mosollyal tekintünk vissza egykét személyes történetre, hiszen ezek a terek nem csupán a fogyasztói társadalom templomai, hanem sokszor közösségi életünk központjai is egyben.A Város Másik Oldalán Facebook oldala: https://www.facebook.com/avarosmasikoldalanAz adásban említett tartalmak: Rajk László - A tér tágassága (életútinterjú), Tények és Tanúk sorozat Rajk László - Radikális eklektikaRem Koolhaas - JunkspaceRobert Venturi, Denise Scott Brown, Steven Izenour - Learning from Las VegasA beszélgetésben elhangzó irodalom és nevek: Victor Gruen, Finta József, Rajk László, Demszky Gábor, Rem KoolhaasVárjuk visszajelzéseiteket a belepesikuszob@gmail.com címen vagy a Facebookon: https://www.facebook.com/kuszobpodcast, és Instagramon: @belepesi_kuszobEz itt a Partizán Podcast csatornája.A Partizán Podcast Facebook oldalát itt találod:https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100087436092000A Partizán oldalát és a videóit itt tudod megnézni:Youtube-on: https://www.youtube.com/c/Partiz%C3%A1nm%C3%A9diaFacebookon: https://facebook.com/partizanpolitika/Iratkozz fel a Partizán hírlevelére:https://csapat.partizanmedia.hu/forms/partizan-feliratkozasTámogasd te is a Partizán munkáját!https://csapat.partizanmedia.hu/fundraising/partizan/Extra tartalmak, vágatlan videók:https://www.patreon.com/partizanpolitika

Our guest this week is Alexandra Lange, famed architecture and design critic, and author of the brand new best-seller Meet Me by the Fountain: An Inside History of the Mall. In a wide-ranging interview we get Alexandra's perspectives on the history and cultural significant of shopping malls. We dig into the fascinating story of Victor Gruen and how his design ideas shaped the evolution of regional malls for decades. Then we explore how malls began to lose their relevance, particularly as department stores increasingly found themselves stuck in the boring middle. Lastly wonder what's next for malls and what it might take for them to have a remarkable future.But first we give our hot-takes on the latest retail news, including shaky earnings reports from several wobbly unicorns: Warby Parker, Allbirds and The Real Real, contrasting their performance with Yeti's wholesale first growth strategy. We also discuss Signet's fire sale priced acquisition of one of the OG's of DTC, Blue Nile, before wrapping up with Bed, Bath & Beyond's decision to bail on one of its new private brands ("Wild Sage") after its rookie season.GroceryShop discount offer:Valid for Retailers and Brands only, use code RBR1950  to access our special rate / ticket price is $US1950.  Offer code  expires 9/22/22.Past podcast episodes of note:Understanding Warby Parker and Customer-Based Valuation with Dan McCarthyThe Great Wholesale v.

Once an epicenter of the suburban lifestyle, the purpose and importance of shopping malls have slowly faded way. The “fall of the mall” or more broadly the “retail apocalypse” was happening long before the pandemic started, but things accelerated over the last twelve months as consumers stayed inside. In the coming years, hundreds of America's roughly 1,100 malls are expected to shutter. The reasons for this include specialty retail bankruptcies making shopping centers boring, anchor department stores fallen out of consumer favor, and e-commerce became increasingly more convenient. This has caused an influx of vacancies that has made the shopping mall's economics increasingly unsustainable. All that being said, these malls still have value, but it just takes property owners to be innovative or history buffs that understand the vision Victor Gruen had for the Southdale Center, as they look for new uses of their dying malls.

Walt Disney once said, "There is more treasure in books than in all the pirate's loot on treasure island." Like us, Walt was inspired by books and enjoyed reading. If not, we would not have Disney’s animated Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland, or 101 Dalmatians nor live action films Swiss Family Robinson, Pollyanna, or 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.

Ob Amerika, Asien oder Europa, weltweit stehen sie vor den Städten und auf dem Land: die Tempel des Konsums, die Shopping-Zentren. Als ihr Vater wird Victor Gruen gefeiert, der damit alles andere als glücklich war. Heute vor 40 Jahren starb der visionäre Stadtplaner in Wien. Autor: Veronika Bock; Ulrich Biermann.

Verödete Innenstädte, triste Vororte, alles in allem: deprimierend. So sah und empfand es Victor Gruen. 1938 vor den Nationalsozialisten in die USA geflohen, machte er sich dort schnell einen Namen als Neugestalter von Kaufhäusern, doch das war für ihn nur ein Anfang. Er dachte und plante größer.

I’ll be honest, we didn’t do our best pun work with the title for this episode. Dawn of the Dead was filmed in a mall, and we talk about malls…and we also talk about lead poisoning, so…it kind of makes sense? We promise to do better in the future. We begin by reading a review of the new arcade/taco restaurant in Duluth. I’m hard on Duluth sometimes, but it’s actually a great place and you better learn to love it because global warming is going to force all of you to move here in the near future. Billionaires in the news is a sampler this week. We talk about Tom Steyer’s presidential run, Ross Perot’s death, Noam Gottesman’s fake garage, and Jeffery Epstein. I’m excited to talk about Gottesman whenever he gets random-selected by the Big Wheel. He collects Francis Bacon and Lucian Freud paintings. Emanates a real “guy who unironically posts Joker memes” energy. Joe introduces us to Herb Simon in the first billionaire segment (13:10). Simon owns the Indiana Pacers and Simon Property Group. His main business is shopping malls. He’s had some minor scandals involving gift card fees and corporate mismanagement, but we mainly discuss malls themselves. Joe tells us a bit about the history of malls and Victor Gruen’s architectural innovations. We talk about how dead mall infrastructure will be repurposed, and how the “Gruen effect” of trapping people in infinite consumer labyrinths is being distributed across social space as the traditional shopping mall disappears. Chad covers Ira Rennert (37:00), who for many years was the largest private polluter in the US and the owner of the largest private residence. He also gave us the Hummer. Folks, this one is super depressing. Rennert has spent his life knowingly poisoning children for profit and funding “extremist” (read: violent terrorist) Israeli settlements. He pals around with John Bolton and Frank Gaffney. I won’t go into all of the gory details here, I’ll just say prepare yourself to feel extremely angry.

Victor Gruen is known as the father of the modern mall, yet he always considered his most famous design an incomplete creation.  James visits Rosedale Center in Minnesota to see how that mall, one of Gruen's original creations, is being updated for the modern shopper. Taylor Coyne talks about how mall redevelopment in the past decade has met the needs of the modern consumer.

Wir beschäftigen uns in dieser Folge mit einem der erfolgreichsten Architekten des 20. Jahrhunderts und seiner bewegten Biographie: Victor Gruen. Er gilt nicht nur als Erfinder der modernen Einkaufszentren, sondern auch als Pionier der innerstädtischen Fußgängerzonen. Unglücklich über die fortschreitende Kommerzialisierung und die Entwicklung der "Supereinkaufsmaschinen" versucht er in den 1970er-Jahren die Städte vom "Terror der Automobile" zu befreien.
