Shumi Bose: Words relating to theory. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode of the A is for Architecture Podcast , I spoke to Shumi Bose , about her work as a curator, chief editor of KoozArch , senior lecturer in architecture at Central Saint Martins in London and, I’d suggest, something like an activist-not-activist. Speaking here, Shumi makes a clear case for the role of critical distance as she has found it – and I’d suggest – used it in her various roles and projects. We speak about Shumi’s journey to architectural teaching and thought, her various
Maximillian Sternberg: Hans Dollgast: Designing in history (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode of the A is for Architecture Podcast, Professor Max Sternberg discuss the Bavarian architect Hans Döllgast, the subject of his latest book, Hans Döllgast: Reconstruction and Modernity , which is being published by Lund Humphries in late September this year. Born in 1891 and surviving all Germany’s many troubles to 1974, Döllgast is known chiefly for his postwar reconstruction work in Munich. However, Max argues, in this he has been misread.

Ole Bouman: Bicycles, buildings and an ethic of care. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Architecture’s conscience – as building, buildings, materials and practices – is a bolt-on at best, but more often a semantic, sophistic trick.

At a policy level, any attempt by anybody to suggest architects have some social obligation t

Read excerpt
As architects, the nature of buildings is as drawings. Even when on site, a building is read in terms of its relationship to the documents off its legal production, preeminent among which – after the contract - are the plan and elevation. As such, the buildings of architects are abstractions. To use Hayles and Gannon, 'design is a mode of practice that represents a reality, but is not the reality it represents.' For others - normal people - perhaps buildings are the sum of their stuff – material
Gabriella Bennett: Other possible cities. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What would a failing city look like? Would one be able to tell if, for example, London or New York were a busted flush? What would be the markers? Social discord, unwalkable streets, cultivated inequality and polarization, declining mental and physical health might seem like some measures to test. Perhaps a better question is what would a growing city look like? This, as I read it, is the question Gabriella Bennett seeks to answer in her book, How to Build a City: Journeys into the Urban Future
