  • Highly recommend

    The podcast is about Stan Allen’s work, which is great. But it’s also about Agrest and Gandelsonas, Hejduk, Eisenman, Rossi, Moneo, Venturi Scott-Brown and so on. It’s really about how a community of architects and educators from different generations affect and influence each other. Really enjoyed listening and learning about this.

    Please read Stan Allen's 'From Object to Field' and see the show at Princeton, but spare yourself listening to these hours of elitist gossip and palace intrigue.
