How does the architecture we praise today square up with a sustainability mandate? Do green imperatives dampen the spirit at the drawing board or can they lift design excellence to new heights?

A dispatch from Lisbon, where this year's edition of the World Architecture Festival took place.

This week we're talking to Britain's most revered architect, Lord Foster, and to the design guru and co-founder of the Design Museum, Stephen Bayley, about their quest to put beauty back at the heart of contemporary building. The registered charity, the Royal Fine Art Commission Trust, which Stephen chairs, staged its first ever Building Beauty Awards on Monday 21st November at the Stirling Prize winning Bloomberg building in the City – which Norman Foster designed. We discuss the winners across four categories: building, engineering, public spaces and little gems, the last designed to cheer residents and bring pride to a built neighbourhood. This is a rare chance to hear two such prominent figures from the world of architecture and design discuss what constitutes beauty in new building today. Building beauty reaps rich award – the winners received £10,000, the joint biggest prize in architecture and a Portland stone rhodium-plated trophy created by the jeweller Theo Fennell – who was also one of the judges. Tune in to find out who the winners of the prize were and to hear about the first Royal Fine Art Commission Trust International Building Beauty Prize at World Architecture Festival in Lisbon next week.

Scion Innovation Building, is a Crown Research Institute that specialises in technology development for the forestry industry. The building is a cutting edge showcase for engineered timber, not only in terms of aesthetic but what it contributes to a zero carbon future. A highlight is the peaks in glulam timber standing tall at the entrance. The list of international awards the building has won is too long to include in its introduction, but one of note is the World Timber Building of the Year, World Architecture Festival 2020 - 2021. Today we're lucky to be speaking with Jeremy Smith from Irving Smith Architects and Alistair Catanach from Dunning Thornton Engineers about the building, structural systems, innovation and much more. If you want to learn more about designing or building with timber, I recommend you go to the WoodSolutions Website and download the Technical Design Guides: https://www.woodsolutions.com.au/publications I recommend watching the WoodSolutions weekly webinars.

In this episode, in the fall of 2017, Sidewalk Labs, a subsidiary of Google's parent company, Alphabet Inc., announced a deal in Toronto to build a dream city “from the Internet up”, however some argue that dream was nothing more than some pretty pictures. After just a single visit to Australia, UK-based James Jones & Sons decided to buy a 60 per cent stake in Australian timber companies XLam and Hyne Timber. Winner in the Experimental Future Projects category in the World Architecture Festival 2021, SAWA – designed by Mei Architects and Planners – is Rotterdam's first 50-meter-high residential building and it was developed with the goal to prove that humans can live and build in a sustainable way. Designed by CS&P Architects Inc., the Glulam beam and steel structure is being built by construction manager Percon Construction Inc. and is intended to improve the quality of recreational services to meet population growth and changing demographics in the area. Paul Kremer talks with Christina Wijeratne about the Clean Energy Finance Corporation and how it is seeking to transform Australia's approach to large-scale building construction, with a new $300 million program to encourage mass timber construction across the property sector.  The International Mass Timber Conference is only two weeks away!

Guest of this appointment is Jay Valgora, founder and principal of the Manhattan-based STUDIO V Architecture. He is an architect passionately dedicated to preserve and revitalise the relevant narrative of an heritage at risk of disappearing with particular interest for former abandoned industrial districts. Received a Bachelor of Architecture degree from Cornell University and a Master of Architecture degree from Harvard he was a founding member and Design Director of Rockwell Group and Design Principal at Walker Group, until he decided to start his own practice in 2006. The firm embraces multiple services from master plans, to commercial and residential. Their projects have received important recognitions, as AIA awards, International Design Award, Architizer A+ Awards, Architectural Record Award, being featured in prestigious publications including The New York Times, Architectural Record, Dwell, Wall Street Journal, New York Magazine, Crain's New York, and Architect's Newspaper.The conversation starts focusing on the circumstances that led a child, grown up in Buffalo, former industrial New York City's waterfront site, where the father was working in the steel mills, to the great fascination for a large collection of gigantic, iconic grain elevators until conceiving ‘Silo City', a vision and proposal of an impressive adaptive reuse intending to link the silos and re-connect a community, winner of Future Project of the Year 2021 at World Architecture Festival. Another project polarizes the discussion: the really beautiful and meaningful rehabilitation of seven adjoining red brick former coffee warehouses, the Empire Stores, left languishing for over half a century along the Brooklyn waterfront, transformed into a dynamic community hub, successfully combining old and new and strategically reconnecting community and waterfront. Several important considerations are exchanged about 10 abandoned oil tanks along the East River in Brooklyn, which have been subject of a contention lasting years between Studio V, supported by many other environmentalists, landscape architects, scientists, activists and artists, intending to keep and adapt the majestic, luring industrial structures into a public park and the divergent position of those who didn't want to maintain them. Digital design constitutes another aspect explored by the practice to reach experimental structural solutions, like the facade of a Casino, former historical Yonkers 'Hilltop Racetrack'. The conversation concludes with a truly important and captivating message Valgora divulges, talking about ‘Last Utopia', a book he will publish soon. He speaks of the necessity to find again optimism and the indispensable new role that architects are expected to play in a time of great anxiety and uncertainty.

Paul Finch is the Program Director of the World Architecture Festival and was editor of the Architect's Journal (1994-1999) and editor of The Architectural Review (2005-2009). Paul has had a storied career and he has a firm grasp on the history of the architectural profession and its meaning and relevance today. On this edition of This Is DesignIntelligence, he speaks with Dave about the state of design education, the catalyst for the World Architecture Festival, and what the past can tell us about the future of the built environment industry.

The last show of November starts with an approval, with changes and some dissent, of Arkansas' new legislative districts...an increase of people in Arkansas hospitals with COVID-19...and three buildings with University of Arkansas connections shortlisted for awards at the World Architecture Festival.

Episode 8 is a fascinating conversation with Susan Lloyd-Hurwitz, CEO of one of Australia's most significant developers Mirvac. She is also Chair of the Green Building Council of Australia and is passionate about sustainability and social inclusion – running her company accordingly. Susan discusses the way in which Mirvac was able to pivot their business operations as a result of the pandemic and how remarkably resilient her team and the wider business was in the face of this unforeseen challenge. She is an advocate for innovation within the real estate sector, and voices her belief that work is what you do, not where you are.Susan and Tim also dissect how people will use their workspaces moving forward and the concept that cities are very much in the process of remaking themselves, with CBDs perhaps reframing to a more mixed use, 24/7 city or even, as some think, a ‘central experience district'. They also touch on the housing affordability crisis of such significance in most cities today.At the same time this episode launches, one of Mirvac's buildings, Olderfleet, designed by Grimshaw, has been selected as the winner of the Office – Completed Buildings category at the World Architecture Festival 2021 Awards.

I look forward to many more years working with Rodrigo and our efforts to make mass timber mainstream". On October 26-28, the Canadian Green Building Council (CaGBC) will honour four buildings at the Building Lasting Change conference for their environmental performance, low carbon emissions, human health factors and occupant satisfaction. MEC Vancouver (above), a mass-timber building near the city's Olympic Village, has won in the category of New Construction. In addition to its water reuse and conservation features, the project's design contributes nearly twice as much energy to the Neighbourhood Energy Utility as it consumes.

Tszwai So is a London based architect whose work ranges from architecture, public arts, visual arts, installations, and writing to filmmaking. He is the co-founding Director of Sphe-ron Architects. He teaches at the University of Westminster.Tszwai So and the practice have been nominated for and won many awards. He was named a rising star in British Architecture by the RIBA Journal in 2016. He was named the best UK young architect under 40 in 2017 by the American Institute of Architects.The Belarusian Memorial Chapel, in London, commissioned by the Holy See of Rome and completed in 2017 - the first wooden church built in London since the Great Fire in 1666 - had been nominated in 2018 for the EU Prize for Contemporary Architecture - the Mies van der Rohe Award. The same year, the church won the Religious Building of the Year award at the 2018 World Architecture Festival held in Amsterdam.In his work, Tszwai is always aware of the power of emotions. Last year, the exhibition “Emotional Architecture” at Wolfson College, University of Cambridge gave an insight in emotions related to the world of architecture, too often neglected in our always more digi-talized world. A world where parameters and thus machines and AI, are becoming the driving factors, leaving human needs behind.Together with Tszwai we will explore why emotionalism is becoming an always more ur-gent topic in a moment in which reality and the virtual are already indistinguishable. Still, nobody seems much to care about that, although it will have enormous consequences on our lives.

This episode we hear a presentation from Fred Labbe from his presentation at the BAQUA convention in London in December. In 2017 his proposal for a modular aquaponic urban farm was shortlisted at the World Architecture Festival 2017, taking place in the November. The project is an ongoing research collaboration between Flanagan Lawrence Architects, the British Aquaponic Association (BAQUA), the Bristol Fish Project, and Expedition (as part of the Useful Simple Trust’s work on the circular economy). The vertical modular farm is designed to make use of available growing space on the south facades of large urban sheds, to be built from reused steel elements and involves a number of closed-loop principles: between fish and plants, and turning food waste into sustainable fish feed.

Zaha Hadid Architects principal Patrik Schumacher has been headlined as many things, including ‘the world’s most provocative architect’.

He notoriously created a worldwide outcry following his keynote address at the World Architecture Festival in November 2016, where he presented a controversial ‘urban policy manifesto’ to initiate a critical discourse on the future of cities. Standing by our belief that the MPavilion stage is a place for discussion and debate, Patrik Schumacher joins us at MPavilion, along with Victorian State Government architect Jill Garner, to talk architecture, planning and the built environment and explore what it takes to lead a world-renowned firm carrying one of the biggest names in modern architecture—the iconic Zaha Hadid. Come along with your burning questions—this conversation between Patrik and Jill will be followed by an audience Q&A. This event is made possible with the assistance of UEM Sunrise.

This is the first in a series of four episodes about Patrik Schumacher, Director of Zaha Hadid Architects, one of the world’s premier architecture firms. Patrik is also an author, professor, lecturer, and architectural theorist. In November 2016, Patrik gave a presentation at the World Architecture Festival promoting libertarian and even anarcho-capitalist solutions to London’s housing crisis. In the midst of the media maelstrom that followed, Tim wrote a blog post, presented in this episode, that defined anarcho-capitalism and defended Patrik’s proposals.

The second of four episodes in our series about Patrik Schumacher, Director of Zaha Hadid Architects. Tim and Joe review and critique the media responses to Patrik’s controversial presentation about housing at the World Architecture Festival in November 2016. Two of these articles, by the Guardian’s Oliver Wainwright and architectural writer Phineas Harper, are presented for extended criticism. We had a little too much fun with this one. Topics include: Responses from London Mayor Sadiq Khan, Zaha Hadid Architects, protestors, and supporters (sort of) Extended critique of Oliver Wainwright’s article in The Guardian: Did Zaha Hadid “dismiss” Patrik’s theoretical work in parametricism? Gurgaon – a mostly private city in India Are “thought experiments” valid and meaningful? The housing crisis can be explained in three words: Great Crested Newts Noam Chomsky on anarcho-capitalism A new off-Broadway play, “Syndicalism in One Act” Extended critique of Phineas Harper’s article in Dezeen: What social justice warriors and the alt-right have in common Government solutions are the simple solutions. Market solutions require more complex thinking. Child labor Poverty and welfare Neoliberalism, Thatcherism, and Hayek-ianism Adam Smith was NOT the godfather of the free market. More like the weird uncle. The intern architect who predicted the 2008 financial crisis View full show notes at anarchitecturepodcast.com/ana010.----more---- Intro Media Maelstrom Discussion How have Patrik’s libertarian ideas been perceived and communicated in the mainstream media? Arch Daily chose not to cover the speech because of boos. Boo-hoo. London Evening Standard – response from Mayor of London Sadiq Khan Did Patrik say anything about diversity? Is evicting tenants at the end of a lease term “social cleansing?” City center affordability through new forms of co-housing Replace social housing subsidies with cash handouts Building more housing with minimum space standards does not create more affordable housing. Zaha Hadid Architects press release Irrelevant virtue signaling Was this a smart response? Press release was not approved by directors Protestors  – The fascist (who wants to get rid of government) Supportive articles – guarded responses “Zaha Hadid’s successor: scrap art schools, privatise cities and bin social housing” by Oliver Wainwright in The Guardian, November 24, 2016 Comprehensive article, but not unbiased journalism Parametric tuxedo The Trump of architecture – says who? Facebook rants A conspiracy theorist Patrik’s political views are separate from the practice Patrik has only “unleashed” his views following Zaha Hadid’s death – a despicable argument Patrik has published articles expressing these views since 2012. Did Zaha Hadid “dismiss” Patrik’s theoretical work in parametricism? W magazine article – history of busting his chops “Parametricism” has been part of the branding and messaging of Zaha Hadid Architects. The Guardian’s Architecture and Design Critic has used “parametric” to describe Zaha Hadid’s work. The well has been poisoned, time to march out the libertarians Tom Woods, Peter Schiff, David Stockman Three claps for mentioning libertarians Fundamental faith in the market – oversimplification Anarcho-capitalism can not solve everything The nirvana fallacy Private solutions – Pocket living, The Collective, eliminating space standards, AirBnb, Liberland, free private cities Gurgaon – a mostly private city in India Gurgaon has not solved inequality in India. Fail. Inequality is not the best metric to use. Look at economic progress for the poor instead. Environmental damage Sewage treatment was supposed to be provided by a local governmental agency and they failed to provide it. Merely “thought experiments” Valid hypotheses about possible future opportunities Zaha Hadid was a “paper architect” for years before a building commission. Were these designs “merely” thought experiments? Is Patrik uncertain of what he’s saying? “Post-truth” – is Patrik appealing to emotion? 600,000 plots of land with planning permission. Land-banking Is this a symptom of a property bubble? The housing crisis can be explained in three words: Great Crested Newts Permitted housing land is worth 300x the value of agricultural land. “Getting planning permission isn’t the issue” – really? Builders hoarding land to keep home prices high – really? Housing supply is up 52% over three years. “Implementable planning consent” and “conditions” Shortages of labor and material Pre-commencement conditions Planning permission is not implementable planning consent Examples of pre-commencement conditions holding up construction of “permitted” housing units: Playground details Services by other vendors Documentation not under purview of planning department Full details of solar panels, utility boxes, windows and doors, electric car charging ports Locations of public art Bat boxes Great Crested Newts Number of permits granted is not evidence of a simple permitting process Permitting process can take 5 years Small homebuilders in UK have decreased from 9000 to 3000 Large foreign builders don’t have necessary local connections to enter market If Oliver Wainwright wants buildable land to get cheaper, he should want MORE land speculators to flood the market with land they’ve permitted Noam Chomsky on anarcho-capitalism Syndicalism in One Act Employers advance wages to employees ahead of revenues Two people contracting for employment is a “sick joke” – really? Are negotiations between unequal parties invalid? Chomsky agrees with anarcho-capitalists on a whole range of issues Chomsky: “The burden of proof is always on those who argue that authority and domination are necessary.” “It is time to stop listening to Patrik Schumacher” by Phineas Harper, published in Dezeen, November 28, 2016 Tolerance is bad – really? Herbert Marcuse – “Repressive Tolerance” What do social justice warriors and the alt-right have in common? Shutting down discussion may be justifiable, but is not productive “Total faith in the market to solve all conceivable problems” – Nirvana fallacy Hayekian economics distorted to grotesque absurdity – ignores 150 year school of thought Hayek – a dog-whistle to anti-capitalists Margaret Thatcher – some good and some bad If you want nuance, give him more time to talk Patrik is not responsible for Joe’s ignorance Katie Hopkins If you’re not talking about government solutions, you’re not talking about solutions at all. Child labor The best time to start working is when you’re a teenager A fantasy that complex problems have simple solutions. Government solutions are the simple solutions. Market solutions require more complex thinking. Poverty and welfare Redistributive welfare payments have not solved poverty Grit A freer market would create more opportunities for everyone Charity can be voluntary Government gives people a false sense of charity Markets make things cheaper (like Walmart) Neoliberalism Associated with Thatcherism Associated with government interventions supporting businesses. This is not libertarianism. “A fawning architectural press” – really? I mean, really?! Press has attacked Zaha Hadid Architects in the past. Phineas Harper on Ben Clark on Adam Smith Appeal to authority – Ben Clark’s “Light Bulb” award Appeal to authority inside an appeal to authority Adam Smith was NOT the godfather of the free market Murray Rothbard’s critique of Adam Smith Perhaps Ben Clark is economically illiterate Owen Hatherly on unconstrained developers Appeal to authority A self-professed communist. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Retail parks, car parks, and shopping malls aren’t public spaces? What’s wrong with a prepackaged, spoon-fed suburban lifestyle? Many developments do incorporate green space and public amenities “Given nearly unlimited space” not a realistic scenario Markets can never make mistakes? Not true. Markets have natural feedback mechanisms to correct mistakes Widespread market failure is usually due to governmental interference in self-correcting markets 2008 financial crisis resulted from governmental policies instigating, exacerbating, and prolonging market imbalances The intern architect who predicted the 2008 financial crisis Schumacher is ADAMANT! …yet uncertain? We all share the same end goal of providing housing for everyone, but disagree on the means of achieving that end.

Excellent article, published a month before Patrik’s WAF housing presentation, about Patrik’s history with Zaha Hadid and vision for Zaha Hadid Architects under his leadership. Referenced by Oliver Wainwright to suggest Zaha “dismissed” Patrik’s work in architectural theory, specifically parametricism. Zaha Hadid did not dismiss parametricism, according to… Oliver Wainwright: Zaha Hadid: creator of ambitious wonders – and a fair share of blundersby Oliver Wainwright in the Guardian, March 31, 2016. Describes Zaha as “Creator of an entire “parametric” universe beyond buildings” Zaha Hadid beyond buildings: architect launches new design gallery by Oliver Wainwright in the Guardian, May 23, 2013.

Analyzes decline of small and medium home builders (80% decline over the past 25 years) Noam Chomsky on Anarcho-Capitalism Herbert Marcuse, the godfather of modern identity politics at Fee.org. Note, Marcuse’s relationship to Nazi propagandist Martin Heidegger should not be construed to imply that Marcuse (who was Jewish), was a Nazi sympathizer. But the collectivism of modern identity politics, whether in the form of social justice or the alt-right, shares a common root with the collectivist dogma that was central to Nazism. Marcuse was influential in propagating this collectivist thought into its modern form. Wolfson Economics Prize 2017; Topic: WHO WILL BUILD THE ROADS???

What will be the implications of Brexit on London’s development and status as a global city over the next few decades? Can London remain a global city outside of the EU? Should it, if London’s success comes at the expense of the rest of the UK? Will London become less attractive to investment and if so, what will the effects be on development, especially with regard to housing? What opportunities does Brexit offer for remaking the relationship between London and the rest of the UK for the better? Our panel offers some answers. Panel includes: Iwona Blazwick – Director, Whitechapel Gallery Stella Creasy – Member of Parliament for Walthamstow Paul Finch – Programme Director, World Architecture Festival; columnist, Architects’ Journal Carol Patterson – Director, UK, OMA Tom Copley AM – Deputy Chair of the London Assembly Housing Committee; Member of the Planning and Transport Committees Ben Rogers – Director, Centre for London (chair)

Architect, Leila Araghian on her most famous project, the Tabiat Bridge. Leila Araghian is an Iranian architect. She studied architecture at Shahid Beheshti University in Iran. She later received her Master of Architecture degree from the University of British Columbia, where she won the UBC Architecture Alumni Henry Elder Prize. In 2005, Araghian co-founded Diba Tensile Architecture together, with a colleague, Alireza Behzadi, a company specializing in the design, manufacture and installation of membrane structures. She was chief architect and designer of the Tabiat Bridge in Tehran, a pedestrian bridge opened in late 2014 which has won several prizes, including the Popular Choice award in the Highways and Bridges category of Architizer's 2015 A+ Awards. Araghian's Iranian heritage has restricted her international exposure; she was not allowed to enter the World Architecture Festival and top UK architecture competition because of sanctions against Iran's government. Araghian herself spoke out against the sanctions: "This is ridiculous, I'm an Iranian architect and this is a cultural activity, it has absolutely nothing to do with politics." She was deeply disappointed by such sanction targeting only ordinary people like her, and she added: "This is very discriminatory". In 2016, Diba Tensile Architecture won the prestigious Aga Khan Architecture Award. 5x15 brings together five outstanding individuals to tell of their lives, passions and inspirations.
