Enjoy! Scott Mitchell is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Scott Mitchell Studio. Over more than 20 years he has developed an extensive design portfolio across the U.S. and internationally. Scott is renowned for his warm approach to connecting the built and natural environment and his humanistic approach to architecture. His nomadic upbringing took him from Jordan to Japan to the American Southwest—where he bore early witness to the stone ruins of Petra and Wadi Rum, the Shinto houses of Okinawa and the Sonoran Desert. Scott’s design philosophy is influenced equally by his early encounters with antiquity, as by his relationships with modernist architects Richard Meier and Charles Gwathmey, and by the work of Louis I. Kahn and Rudolph M. Schindler. Scott received a Bachelor of Environmental Design from Texas A&M University before moving to New York to work at Stephen Miller Siegel & Associates and then to Bridgehampton to work with Preston T. Phillips, a former protégé of architect Paul Rudolph. He was offered an internship in Norman Foster’s London office and then moved back to the U.S. to pursue graduate studies at the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc), before establishing Scott Mitchell Studio in 1999. Scott is author of the monograph Scott Mitchell Houses (Rizzoli), which includes eight of the studio’s pivotal projects and includes contributions by Paul Goldberger, Calvin Klein and Michael Webb.This episode is supported by Brizo • Monograph • Miele • Graphisoft SUBSCRIBE CONNECT SUPPORT EPISODE CATEGORIES | |||

| #269 - Iwan Baan, Photographer | 18 Jan 2022 | 01:49:44 | |
Dutch photographer Iwan Baan is known primarily for images that narrate the life and interactions that occur within architecture. Born in 1975, Iwan grew up outside Amsterdam, studied at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague and worked in publishing and documentary photography in New York and Europe. With no formal training in architecture, his perspective mirrors the questions and perspectives of the everyday individuals who give meaning and context to the architecture and spaces that surround us, and this artistic approach has given matters of architecture an approachable and accessible voice. Known architects turn to Baan to give their work a sense of place and narrative within their environments.
