As the whole world grapples with lockdowns, closures and cancelled events – and the milestones of the design industry’s busy calendar of trade shows disappears, we might look to one country for lessons on how to cope: China. The first to face the covid-19 crisis, and one of the first to begin emerging from it, we get the perspective from two major design industry shows on how 2020 might change their operations for good, and how they’ve tried to maintain value and purpose in the face of such a...

A conversati...
In this episode, we take a look at the latest exhibition at London’s Royal Institute of British Architects, an exploration of 500 years of aesthetics in architecture.

With Shumi Bos...
Museums serve a lot of purposes – as places of learning, preservers of important artefacts and even as public spaces for people to relax and spend time. But, how we think about the role of the museum does change, sometimes prompted by politics, other times by technology, and others because of changing tastes in architecture. In this episode, we meet Alan Maskin, a principal and owner of Seattle-based architecture practice Olson Kundig, and Dr Philippa Simpson, Director of Design, Estate and...
There’s one thing we always take away from a space – an experience. Good, bad, totally neutral, their design and the way they’re brought to life affect our mood, they help or hinder us move through them, they provide amenity or perhaps they feel completely useless.
