Design and the City is back!

Hello listeners! We are happy to announce an exciting new season of reSITE’s podcast. It’s great to be back. For those of you who are new to reSITE, we are a global platform and nonprofit connecting people and ideas to improve the urban environment. Martin Barry, reSITE’s founder stared because he wanted to listen closer. He was growing tired of what is known as classic architecture, landscape, or urban design firm. He wanted to see how useful we can be in the making of a city by providing new insight with a startup mentality. What we’ve found is that we can remake the city if we listen to people, help them define the problem—and help them act. Typically, we hold an annual conference and smaller-scale salons to bring various urban actors, who have made an impact on shaping our cities together to hold discussions on how we can co-create cities that better reflect the needs of their inhabitants. Obviously, due to the COVID-19 situation, having our annual flagship event in 2020 was not feasible. To deliver the same kind of content we present at our events, it only made sense to channel our energy into a new medium. We are excited to announce that we’ll be releasing weekly podcast episodes, featuring thoughtful conversations with actors like Vishaan Chakrabarti, founder and creative director of Practice for Architecture and Urbanism, as well as the dean of the College of Environmental Design at UC Berkeley. Filmmaker Gary Hustwit, who’s known for his documentaries like Helvetica, Urbanism, Workplace, and a newly-released short, The Map featuring the redesign of New York City's iconic subway map. We’ll hear from the editor-in-chief of Madame Architect, Julia Gamonlina, who is casting a spotlight on women in architecture at every stage in their careers. Iconic graphic designer, Stefan Sagmeister, joins us for a conversation on his intriguing creative processes and experimentation, to his take on design in our cities. Our first release will feature Dutch architect, co-founder of MVRDV and The Why Factory, Winy Maas, in conversation with reSITE’s founder, Martin Barry. This episode will be available next week! Each architect, urbanist, investor, designer, artist, and other urban actor offers a unique perspective on city-making. We’re glad you’re along for the ride.
