Sean Lally's Night White Skies podcast airs its final episode after 8 years

2024-09-12T11:02:00-04:00

After a run of over 100 episodes, the Night White Skies podcast hosted by Sean Lally is finally coming to an end.

Over eight years, the program sought to engage a diverse range of voices in the design field in order to ascertain a better picture of the scenarios currently unfolding within and surrounding architectural theory and practice.

Guests included philosophers such as Ecology Without Nature author Timothy Morton and Emanuelle Coccia. Other popular thinkers like Catherine Ingraham, Fred Scharmen, Sylvia Lavin, and Rachel Armstrong appeared alongside designers Neil Denari, Rania Ghosn, El Hadi Jazairy, and MoMA curator Paola Antonelli.

In this final episode, Lally summarizes a few of the recurring topics and thoughts that have proved as salients as a means for outlining what he says is a "course forward [...] or at the very least, playing out a hunch on work still to be done."

An archive of all episodes is available at NightWhiteSkies.com for you to search now and in the futu...

In Sean's latest episode his guest is Sheila Jasanoff, Pforzheimer Professor of Science and Technology Studies at the Harvard Kennedy School. The following text is written by Sean...

Architects share as much in common with science fiction authors as we do with the engineers whose tools we so often emulate. Making a Venn diagram of the disciplines that overlap with architecture shows just how much of what we do comes down to being able to synthesize the diversity of knowledge on our periphery. While some look to carve out an even smaller circle at the center of that Venn diagram, free from any over...

In a new partnership with Sean Lally's Night White Skies podcast, we're going to be sharing new podcast episodes with our readers here on Archinect. Night White Skies addresses "architecture’s future, as both earth’s environment and our human bodies are now open for design," with recent episodes covering issues such as contemporary fiction, CRISPR, evolution and genetics, Radical Gaming & Climate Histories.

In Sean's latest episode his guest is Astrophysicist Adam Frank, author of the book ‘Light of the Stars: Alien Worlds and the Fate of the Earth.’ The following text is written by Sean...

There is a burden that comes with believing you’re unique. It’s not particularly overbearing when it’s an individual's talent or an animal’s quirky behavior, celebrated for its differences. But somehow believing you're unique in your destructive thoughts and behaviors is quite an alienating experience.

Most of us deal with such shortcomings knowing others also deal with them. Seeing others work ...

Architect Sean Lally of Weathers runs the podcast Night White Skies: "A podcast about architecture's future, as both Earth's environment and our human bodies are now open for design."

The podcast is in its infancy, but Lally has already logged some really fascinating interviews with the likes of Timothy Morton, architect Mitchell Joachim, and architects/authors Geoffrey Thün & Kathy Velikov.
