Reconstructing Histories through Craft and Community with Jeffrey Yoo Warren 44:15

לפני 1 year44:15

44:15

Jeffrey Yoo Warren, is a multidisciplinary artist, educator, and crafter whose work explores themes of cultural heritage, identity, and community. Jeffrey shares his unique journey from studying architecture to finding his calling in artistic practices deeply rooted in historical research and traditional craftsmanship. Through his residency at the Library of Congress, Jeffrey talks about the reconstruction of early Asian American communities and neighbourhoods, creating immersive virtual and physical models that invite viewers to experience and connect with these often-overlooked histories. He also shares his passion for woodworking, papermaking, and learning traditional Korean crafts, allowing him to forge a tangible link with his ancestral roots and cultural inheritance. Highlights: Embracing the personal and specific aspects of one's identity and cultural background can lead to a deeper, more meaningful artistic practice, challenging the concept of universality as a design goal. Finding joy and fulfilment in the creative process is essential, and recognizing when work no longer aligns with one's passions is a valuable lesson. Collaboration and building community connections, especially within diasporic or underrepresented groups, can foster a profound sense of belonging and inspire new ideas. Trusting one's instincts and exploring seemingly tangential interests can uncover unexpected paths to self-discovery and artistic expression. Preserving and reviving traditional crafts and practices can serve as a powerful means of reconnecting with cultural heritage and transmitting ancestral knowledge. Guest Bio: Jeffrey Yoo Warren (he/him) is a Korean American artist educator, illustrator, community scientist and researcher in Providence, RI, whose recent work combines ancestral craft practices and creative work with diasporic memory through virtual collaborative worldbuilding. He has spent years creating collaborative community science projects which decenter dominant culture in environmental knowledge production. Jeff is an educator with Movement Education Outdoors and AS220, and part of the New Old art collective with Aisha Jandosova, hosting art-making and storytelling events with older adults; he is also the 2023 Innovator in Residence at the Library of Congress for my ongoing project Seeing Lost Enclaves: Relational reconstructions of erased historic neighborhoods of color. His current artistic practice investigates how people build identity and strength through their interactions with artifacts and histories, and the ways that objects can tell stories that people can be part of in the present. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★…

Our guest today, Lauren Kimball, Experience Design Director @ Edelman, shares her journey from architecture to advertising. She emphasizes the importance of being honest and open in client meetings and offers advice for architecture students looking to explore alternative career paths. Lauren also discusses her platform, Find by Design , which showcases black designers across various disciplines. Through her experiences, she highlights the power of collaboration and the value of pursuing work that you are passionate about. Highlights: Architecture students have an amazing foundation in human-centered design thinking that is applicable across industries. Having a diverse range of experiences, saying yes to new opportunities, and working on passion projects outside of work can open new career doors. The advertising industry moves at a much faster pace than architecture which allows for more experimentation and learning. Being honest about what you do and don't know builds trust - it's ok to say you'll find the answer and get back to people. Hire people smarter than you and find partners who complement your skills rather than trying to do everything Guest Bio: Lauren’s experience has been rooted in design since the beginning. Having started her career in sports and entertainment architecture, her world has blended digital and physical to tell brand stories in impactful ways. She has made a career developing teams across the many facets of the design process, including consumer research, experience design, creative technology, and production. She's led interdisciplinary creatives through the design of sprawling music festivals, Olympic master plans, and digital shopping experiences, all to help clients understand their why, and how that translates to an effective design solution. In 2023, Lauren launched FIND By DESIGN, a space created to make it easier to find and support Black designers. The carefully curated directory allows anyone to find talented designers across the graphics and illustration industries, and the platform has already expanded to the UK + Ireland. www.findbydesign.org ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★…

William Dodge shares his unique career journey, from applying to architecture school multiple times, working as a janitor, and eventually becoming a managing principal at a major architecture firm.He discusses his approach to architecture - creating community-focused spaces rather than just facilitating buildings.

Throughout the conversation, William offers advice on being fearless, hustling, and doing your best work with what you have. He emphasizes the importance of authenticity, resilience, and creating situations where everyone wins rather than winners/losers. Highlights: Architects often become facilitators of buildings rather than builders of community-focused spaces. Take jobs and risks - you immediately fail by not trying. Rejection is not the end. Find how your unique skills and talents can provide value, even if you're not the best at one particular thing. Do what you love, work with great people, make a difference - you should be able to do these without sacrificing pay. Life is too short to work for "assholes."

Be assertive in asking for opportunities to expand your role and prove yourself; people appreciate self-starters. Storytelling is key in experience design - use lighting, sound, sequence etc. to evoke emotions. Documentation is critical but often neglected - market your work by taking time to create a "package" about each project.

Driven by her passion for more humanized nuances in an increasingly mechanized world, her work allows users to touch, feel and ponder over the role that algorithms and technological advancements can play in pushing ‘craft’ to newer boundaries.

The Future of Architecture: Shifting Towards Social and Ecological Justice with FAF’s Charlie Edmonds 48:14

לפני 1 year48:14

48:14

Our guest, Charlie Edmonds, Co-Founder of Future Architects Front , calls for collective action to address exploitative practices and envisions a world where architecture prioritizes social needs over capital interests. Charlie is the co-founder of Future Architects Front (FAF), a grassroots organization working to address issues like unpaid overtime, low fees, and poor construction quality in the architecture industry. Charlie discusses how he and co-founder Priti became frustrated with the exploitative conditions in architecture and started FAF to advocate for wider political and economic shifts to prioritize social and ecological needs over capital interests. He shares how FAF takes a systems view to trace architecture's problems back to neoliberal policies, and says the Covid pandemic helped reveal many of these flawed structures. Charlie believes organizing labor collectively is key to creating change, and worker unions have historically been powerful forces in achieving better conditions. Highlights: The architecture industry has endemic issues like unpaid overtime, low fees, and poor construction quality. These problems can be traced back to neoliberal policies that prioritized profits over social needs. The pandemic exposed many flaws in work practices and productivity beliefs. Collective labor organizing through unions is a powerful way to create societal change. Architectural skills like visualization can be useful tools for political and social justice campaigns. Solidarity is a crucial concept in driving collective action and working towards a more equitable and sustainable future.

Bonus Episode! Tangents, meet Redlines - our new podcast by Out of Architecture. This episode shines a light on the withholding of critical information by architecture firms to create an uneven power dynamic as firms hold visa sponsorship over young, foreign workers. Our storyteller this week is Cat - a pseudonym - who shares their personal experience with the H1B visa process in the United States and the challenges they faced while working at a reputable architecture firm. Cat discusses the lack of transparency, exploitation, and the difficulty of seeking a life in the US versus other countries. “I asked my employer, can I have my receipt number so I can go into USCIS system to look up whether or not I got selected this time. They told me that there is no longer such a thing as a receipt number. But this contradict with the official statement that USC has put out on their own website, this number obviously exists. It's just my employer decided not to disclose it.” Key takeaways: The path to sponsorship can take years with uncertain results Lack of transparency in the H1B visa selection process Employers can legally withhold sponsorship information from workers Risk in the visa process creates opportunities to take advantage of sponsored workers There are many countries that provide better options for young architects Redlines on Spotify Redlines on Apple Podcasts --- Join our Patreon for Free Instagram LinkedIn Out Of Architecture Website ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★…
