The Architecture of Social Interaction Posted: 07 Aug 2020 12:35 AM PDT Ku.Be Centre by MVRDV and ADEPT. Image © Ossip van Duivenbode Denise Scott Brown once said: "Architecture can't force people to connect; it can only plan the crossing points, remove barriers, and make the meeting places useful and attractive." Although it cannot control the outcome, architecture holds the potential to set the stage for chance encounters and social interactions, thus nurturing community building and influencing the fabric of our social culture. The following explores how architecture can improve the social capital of its surroundings through design strategies and thoughtful programming, creating the fertile ground for social interaction among different groups of people.

Carlos García Vázquez: "The Modern Urbanism Has Rediscovered Traditional Cities" Posted: 06 Aug 2020 11:30 PM PDT © JERRYANG [Flickr], under CC BY-ND 2.0 license Three years ago, in the wake of the release of his book Theories and History of the Modern City ("Teorías e Historia de la Ciudad Contemporánea", 2016, Editorial Gustavo Gili), we sat down with the author, Carlos García Vázquez, to discuss this complex and "uncertain creature' that is the modern city, focusing on the three categories that define cities today: Metropolis, Megalopolis, and Metapolis. Based on an analysis of those "who have traditionally led the way in the planning of spaces" (sociologists, historians, and architects), the book illustrates the social, economic, and political forces that, in service to their own agendas, drive the planning, transformation, exploitation, and development of cities. In 120 years, urban centers have transformed from places where "people died from the city" to bastions of personal development and economic prosperity; however, the question remains —have cities really triumphed? "Yes", says García Vásquez, "but we have paid dearly for it." Read more » This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now

Cabins and Chalets: Secluded Homes in the Czech Countryside Posted: 06 Aug 2020 10:30 PM PDT © Tuomas Harjumaaskola Architecture in the Czech Republic is defined by the country's incredibly diverse landscapes. As one of Europe's cultural hearts, Czechia has a rich history, and was once home to the Kingdom of Bohemia. Today, architects and designers are drawing inspiration from the country's low mountains, foothills and forests as they design a range of secluded residential retreats.

Brick in Latin American Architecture: Hospitals and Health Centers Posted: 06 Aug 2020 10:00 PM PDT © Federico Cairoli The focus of buildings should ultimately be the well-being of the people using them. When we think of our experiences in hospitals, clinics, the dentist's office, and other medical facilities, the feeling is rarely pleasant. Perhaps it's the smells, the dull, monotone colors, or the sound of medical gadgets working away on some unlucky patient.  Read more » This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now

New York City on Pause: Why This is the Opportunity to Create an Equitable Future Through the Built Environment Posted: 06 Aug 2020 09:00 PM PDT Protesters marching down 5th Avenye- June 6 2020. Image © Clay LeConey on Unsplash It's hard to imagine New York City without the packed subway cars, long lines, and overwhelming tourist crowds that felt essential to daily life. Once the fear of the COVID-19 pandemic has waned, the city, like others around the world, will become clouded and fundamentally altered even after economic prosperity has been restored. In what feels like a revolving door discussion, except now perhaps asked with a sense of urgency, what do we want cities to be like in the years to come?

Modern Architects Stink at Lying. Luckily, That’s Fixable Posted: 06 Aug 2020 08:30 PM PDT © Steven Zucker [Flickr], under CC BY-NC-SA 2.0 license. Image"Parson Weems' Fable" painting (1939) depicts Parson Weems and his famous story of George Washington and the Cherry Tree This article was originally published on Common Edge. Apart from dressing like an undertaker, wearing black-rimmed circular glasses, and driving Swedish cars, modern architects' most conspicuous trait is their aesthetic honesty, which is dangerous. Sincerity leaves little room for imagination. Read more » This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now
