EP. 06 - TOM DYCKHOFF - The Rise and Fall of Iconic Architecture

This episode explores the amazing world of iconic architecture
with architecture and design writer, broadcaster and journalist
Tom Dyckhoff. The interview draws from the ideas in his book The
Age of Spectacle - The Rise and Fall of Iconic
Architecture. 


We discuss the 1980's architecture style wars between modernists
such as Richard Rogers and Norman Foster with traditionalists
such as Prince Charles. We talk about Thomas Heatherwick's Vessel
at New York's Hudson Yards, the privatisation of public spaces,
the Bilbao effect, why architects are not so famous and lots
more.
