DESIGN + CITY BUILDING
Design is everywhere in our lives, perhaps most importantly in the places where we've just stopped noticing. 99% Invisible is a weekly exploration of the process and power of design and architecture. From award winning producer Roman Mars.
A podcast about architecture, buildings and cities, from the distant past to the present day. Plus detours into technology, film, fiction, comics, drawings, and the dimly imagined future.
With Luke Jones and George Gingell. Edited by Matthew Lloyd Roberts.
Design is universal. We all live and work in the built world, and every object, system and environment in the built world has been designed. Clever is a podcast about design. Well, actually, it's about designers, too. Sure, they're visionaries, problem-solvers, critical thinkers, rebels and aesthetes, but above all, they're human. Designer Amy Devers and Design Milk's Jaime Derringer have candid and revealing conversations with these super-smart people because, well, relating to the humans responsible for the objects and environments that shape our lives can help us all find more meaning in the world around us.
Invisible City Podcast aims to shape the global conversation on 21st century city building and living. This is about creating an understanding and broadening the perspectives of how cities work. It's about sharing positive and unique stories that illuminate the complexity of city living.
All communities face certain challenges. But some people see challenges as opportunities. On Placemakers, we bring you stories about the spaces we inhabit and the people who shape them. Join us as we crisscross the country, introducing you to real people in real communities—people who make a difference in how we travel, work, and live. You’ll never look at your community the same way again.
The RAIC Congress on Architecture brings professionals together to ignite action, strengthen connections and share ideas on a single issue of importance to the profession. On October 4, 2021 —World Architecture Day 2021 — the inaugural RAIC Congress on Architecture will address Climate Action and Architecture in Canada. Over the next year, the RAIC will host a series of virtual events leading into the 2021 Congress on Architecture and the development of a Climate Action Plan.
LOCAL
Building cheap and non-profitable housing seems to be an impossible scenario, especially in the urban core along major transit lines - except for all other conceivable scenarios. The Life Stories project started recording the history of our community told by persons who live on low income and have experienced marginalization in its many forms. Their voices were not represented in the long sequence of decisions that brought us to the present moment of reshaping urban development in the region.
