We interview Hernan Diaz Alonso, designer and for nearly the past decade Director of SCI-Arc. Hernan has exhibited at the Venice Architecture Biennale, the Museum of Modern Art, New York; SFMoMA to name a few. He is widely credited with spearheading SCI-Arc’s transition to digital technologies, and he played a key role in shaping the school’s graduate curriculum over the last decade.

We talk about what it means to design, and why architecture anchors us to memory and stillness. With memory, we talk about the nature of learning, about the changing need and nature of education and the institutions that support them, and the nature of architecture and education as necessary luxuries.

In our first episode, we interview Sean Lally, architect, professor, and host of the most successful architecture podcast, Night White Skies, and author of ​‘The Air from Other Planets: A Brief History of Architecture to Come’ (Lars Müller). 

Join us for this first conversation as we talk about architecture's relationship to music, creative performance, writing, and paranoia. We discuss why is architecture a mute force in public life, and what can architects, designers, and people do to communicate in this crowded media landscape? We ask if drawings are still a useful medium to communicate ideas with in a world of digital twins, augmented reality, artificial intelligence, and increasingly realistic simulations.

Finally we get into how to run a show, talk to famous people, and not get jaded.
