Our Buildings, Our Selves, with guest James Wines

Hosted by Duo Dickinson and Martin C. PedersenWelcome to Our Buildings, Our Selves: Humanity in Architecture, a monthly podcast produced by Common Edge, the Connecticut Architecture Foundation, the Connecticut AIA, and Bridgeport community radio station WPKN 89.5 FM. In a fantastic conversation, James Wines talks about his 70 years in creation. More than architecture, Wines designed SITE as a studio that addressed the culture as the context for our common values. THrough scores of buildings, exhibits, writings and lectures, James Wines defined how humanity interacts with design, and in his conversation with Dio Dickinson and Martin Pederson, he describes how environmental realities became a centerpoint in our future, and how our common future meant that design had to lead the way to understanding and hope. A remarkable podcast that touches on an incredible career.

Our Buildings, Our Selves, with guests Gerhard Mayer and Lindsey Stirman

Hosted by Duo Dickinson and Martin C. PedersenWelcome to Our Buildings, Our Selves: Humanity in Architecture, a monthly podcast produced by Common Edge, the Connecticut Architecture Foundation, the Connecticut AIA, and Bridgeport community radio station WPKN 89.5 FM. We’re in a housing crisis. Duo Dickinson and Martin C. Pedersen talk with Gerhard Mayer and Lindsey Stirman, co-founders of the Living Communities Initiative, a Los Angeles-based organization dedicated to creating a new paradigm for housing development. They reject both NIMBY-ism (not in my backyard) and its knee jerk opposite, YIMBY (yes to any sort of housing, regardless of its quality). And argue instead for a different mode: QIMBY (quality in my backyard). When projects include elements like walkability and gentle density, opposition to new development disappears.

Our Buildings, Our Selves, with guests Paul Goldberger and Zach Mortice

The State of Design Journalism in the Internet Age Hosted by Duo Dickinson and Martin C. PedersenWelcome to Our Buildings, Our Selves: Humanity in Architecture, a monthly podcast produced by Common Edge, the <a href="https://cafct.org/">Connecticut Architecture Foundation</a>, the <a href="https://aiact.org/">Connecticut AIA</a>, and Bridgeport community radio station <a href="https://wpkn.org/">WPKN 89.5 FM</a>. In many ways, design journalism in the 21st century is in uncharted territory. Digital technology has changed everything, eroding the business models of the previous century and catapulting everyone onto the infinitely fractured world of the internet. Architectural exposure—who’s covered, what’s covered, how its covered—is an entirely different beast today. Our guests this month, Pulitzer Prize–winning architecture critic Paul Goldberger and Chicago-based design writer and critic Zach Mortice, have unique perspectives on this media transformation, both past and present. Paul Goldberger is a contributing editor at Vanity Fair. He began his career at the New York Times, where in 1984 his work was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Distinguished Criticism. He later served as architecture critic for the New Yorker. He lectures widely around the country on the subject of architecture, design, historic preservation, and cities. He has also served as a special consultant and advisor on architecture and planning matters to several major cultural and educational institutions.Zach Mortice is a Chicago-based design journalist and critic that focuses on how architecture and landscape architecture intersect with public policy. His work has appeared in Architect, Architectural Record, Metropolis, Landscape Architecture Magazine, Curbed, Dezeen, The Atlantic’s CityLab, and Places Journal. He’s currently a contributing writer at Bloomberg CityLab. His social media handles can be found at @zachmortice.
