Vishaan Chakrabarti is the architect leading the $7 billion redesign of Penn Station. Christiano Sampaio is the Los Angeles broker who built a boutique brokerage around lofts, but we're talking to him about a different kind of property: houses in movies. And closing us out, Carmen Bradford, the jazz vocalist who talked her way into Count Basie's band, and still plays with them today.
Most architecture fans love the Hitchcock film North By Northwest. Guests John Boccardo, Derek Esplin, and Christine Madrid French turned Hitchcock's fictional Vandamm House from that film into a $45 million Modernist marvel in Utah. Mark Lamster, the newly minted Pulitzer Prize winner works to save Dallas City Hall from demolition. Eyal Einik is an architect-turned-developer transforming one of those Holiday Inn corncob buildings of the 1960's into a new Hotel Indigo. Later on, returning musical guest Monika Ryan.
Jim Stevens is the brand new dean of the University of Arkansas's Fay Jones School of Architecture and Design and we caught him on Day 1. Max Strang in Florida talks about his latest Modernist house. Philip Kennicott, the Pulitzer Prize-winning art and architecture critic of The Washington Post, talks about music, mourning, ballrooms, and Bach. Later on, musical guest Rick Maltese.
Dimitry Vergun, who passed away last month, was an architect, earthquake expert, and structural engineer behind some of California's most audacious houses. Architect Don Singer, one of the last living midcentury Modernists in Florida has a huge legacy of houses you can see on USModernist. Then we discover Eero Saarinen's remarkable Lutheran Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne IN with Robert Roethemeyer and Paul Prange. Later, returning musical guest Jen Ash.
We're on today with two special guys from the Netherlands, Jan-Richard Kikkert and Tycho Saariste, the Lewis and Clark of architectural exploration, going to visit nearly all the John Lautner houses in the world. Next, David Mauer and Elizabeth Godley are bringing one of those Lautner houses back from decades of decline. We'll wrap up with returning podcast guest Nicole Zuraitis, the Grammy-winning jazz singer-songwriter with a new album – but before that, Kyle Bergman shares what's up for this fall's Architecture & Design Film Festival in New York.
