  1. IA Summit 10 — Richard Saul Wurman Keynote

    With the majority of the earth’s population now living in cities, Richard Saul Wurman realized there was a yawning information gap about the urban super centers that are increasingly driving modern culture.

    In this keynote presentation from the 2010 IA Summit, Mr. Wurman discusses his 19.20.21 initiative: an attempt to standardize a methodology to understand comparative data on 19 cities that will have 20 million or more inhabitants in the 21st century. He encourages the design community to take initiative and solve big problems rather than make small changes incrementally.

  4. Beyond Disaster Mitigation: An AIA Architect in Haiti

    Stacey L. McMahan, AIA, LEED AP and Eric J. Cesal, Associate AIA, LEED AP join us today to talk about their work in Haiti and the role of regional ecologies on architectural practice.

    The U.S. Green Building Council and the AIA co-sponsored a fellowship program for a sustainable design and building expert to lead a new community design studio established by Architecture for Humanity in Port-au-Prince. Stacey L. McMahan, AIA, LEED AP, principal at Koch Hazard Architects, was appointed as the Architecture for Humanity Sustainable Design Fellow for Haiti. Stacey left her position as a partner/principal at South Dakota’s Koch Hazard Architects for one year to work directly with the Haitian community on rebuilding efforts.

    Eric J. Cesal, Associate AIA, LEED AP. A self-described “wandering misadventurer” in the fields of architecture, construction and writing, Eric is the author of “Down Detour Road: An Architect in Search of Practice.” He believes that design done well is an act of kindness, that construction is an act of will and that writing is a self-indulgence. Eric currently lives and works in Port Au Prince alongside a team of humanitarian architects.

  6. Signal vs. Noise Podcast: The new 37signals office

    A talk about the new office space: How’s it working out so far? What was it like being on the opposite end of the client/designer (or, in this case, architect) relationship? What’s the “right” amount of space for now and years from now?

  7. Why We Need Architecture

    A year ago, with a giant economic stimulus package in the works, many Americans envisioned a rebuilt nation. Infrastructure. Bridges. Green cities.

    It hasn’t exactly happened. But the design of all that surrounds us — all that’s built, old and new — is a daily message to us about who we are and what we aspire to.

    Pulitzer Prize-winning critic Paul Goldberger wants to remind us of why architecture matters, in shaping lives and cultures. From ancient Rome to the next wave of American — or Asian — building.

    This hour, On Point: Paul Goldberger, on the power of the built world around us.

  8. Energy Efficient Design For Buildings - Part 1

    47 minutes, 21.5mb, recorded 2007-03-26

    Amory Lovins MAP/Ming Visiting Professor for Energy and the Environment at Stanford University

    According to Amory Lovins, the way to design energy efficient buildings involves "thinking outside the box", or simply just giving up old ways of approaching the problem.

    Lovins begins this audio lecture with examples of three buildings in three different climes (Denver, Colorado; Davis, California; Germany) that, using imaginative design, save both energy and costs. He includes stories of opportunities to apply clever design during renovation as well as in new construction. With each success story we hear about the potential gains through air conditioning, lighting and heating, and through innovative design of lamps, windows, and ducts.

    Rather than entailing higher construction costs, smartly designed buildings can often actually cost less, a phenomenon Lovins refers to as "tunneling through the cost barrier". This is part one of a two-part presentation on “Energy Efficiency in Buildings”. It is also the first in a series of five talks on Energy Efficiency by Amory Lovins and is brought to you by MAP.
