Burning Down the House - Episode 89 - Quality with Dr. Wilfried Wang | Who to qualify, or identify quality in architecture is the topic of discussion this week on Burning Down the House as Curtis B. Wayne is joined by architect, professor and editor Dr. Wilfried Wang. Together, they discuss how tradition, innovation and context all play into this idea of quality. How should a building's use inform its formal expression? How do we find the front door? Where do we go when finally inside? How does wayfinding succeed or fail? Must we revert to a neoclassical formalism, or can modern expression convey information? This program was sponsored by Fairway Market "If you insist on too much innovation for the sake of innovation, you're running the risk of disconnecting yourself from tradition and heritage." --Dr. Wilfried Wang on Burning Down the House | 2/5/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Burning Down The House - Episode 36 - The March of Dollars Across The Landscape | This week's Burning Down the House is a potpourri of news and thought from across the spectrum of architecture and design. Curtis begins with a tribute to the late great structural engineer Ysrael Seinuk, who taught at Cooper Union, the alma mater of Curtis and fellow architect Jacob Alspector, our guest this week. Next Curtis and Jacob (alspectorarchitecture.com) discuss the ever changing skyline of NYC, touching on the history of the Empire State Building and the future of the Vornado Real Estate Trust building. The Plaza and Pennsylvania hotels plus (the original) Penn Station also come up in this discussion of buildings new and old, good and bad, within the fluctuating world of NYC's built environment.

Customer Reviews
Great Show
I'm catching up on back episodes, and am hoping this show didn't faze out.
This is just the type of show I was hoping to find, talking to architects about things that interest architects, and putting things in context with examples and ideas, and a great conversation overall.
