I'm posting this thread so people have a place to suggest people or/and topics that they'd like hear addressed on Sessions or possibly some other form of Archinectedia. But instead of just posting a name or topic share the why as well.
Maybe some will get picked up, maybe not. Who cares- they're conversation starters.

Three Urbanists walk into a bar...
Reinier de Graaf- who thinks open space should be more public (dare I say democratic) to become vibrant.
Patrik Schumacher- who thinks the same level of vibrancy can be accomplished through curated privatized interests.
and...
Richard Florida- who has actually run the numbers.

This in part a repeat of a conversation between Sharon Sutton and Mable Wilson, but I would be curious to hear how these three individuals address the not so well known history of Columbia's attempts to address issues of social justice. Sutton records the early attempts in her book When the Ivory Towers were Black, but the other two women have different relationships with the GSAPP and this agenda.

What about a Master/Apprentice session with architects that used to work for a master but started for themselves and see what they took with them and also what not and why and how it feels competing against each other etc. So obviously Rem Koolhaas and Winy Maas, Ole Scheeren, Joshua Price-Ramus, etc.

Thanks so much for creating this thread Marc. We look forward to getting more suggestions and requests for the new year. We already have some awesome guests and topics lined up.
I'd like to hear some more theoretical futurist stuff. Where are things going...in 10-20-100 years...The field seems to lack those discussions.

1. Exhibit Aftermath: I was really excited about the 2017 focus on Colombus but as architecture "overall" becomes more socially conscious I would like to see a conversation to the aftermath of this architectural site visit. I keep seeing this rise of overdoses within the area and even the "Colombus" movie mentioned the epidemic. Does our visit celebrate the site and ignore the people?
2. World Cup: I see a parallel between Exhibit Colombus and the World Cup, (This year in Russia) because both seem to closely resemble this type of "visit" hierarchy of visitors vs site vs locals.
The folks behind Black Spectacles, Because they are a huge influence in the profession and helped countless times for myself and others complete IDP and the ARE.
Interview an architect with a physical disability. So many able bodied architects out there is would be interesting to get a different perspective.
Just some thoughts. I love the segments with the legal advice from the lawyer that happened in the past and I do like the brief recommendations at the end.
I think it would be beneficial to have an outside voice speak towards issue regarding employees/labor and civil behavior in offices given how recent threads have become non-productive.
How about getting Schumacher back to talk about parametricism, free markets, and Liberland?

Theaster will air next Thursday. I'm very excited about that one. Zena and Tiffany - yes! Michael has agreed a couple times and flaked both times at the last minute so we're running out of hope.
I'll just second Marc's previous suggestion for an episode ft the African-American women who are propelling Detroit's architecture and interior design scenes.
"What are you watching, and what are you wearing? Reflections on a year of change"
The session used to end with "what are you reading and what are you listening to." These spinoffs would start with the questions as prompts to talk about how the year has impacted people.

Peggy Deamer (or another representative) from the Architecture Lobby and their Just Design List project, among other efforts.
I think it would be beneficial to have an outside voice speak towards issue regarding employees/labor and civil behavior in offices given how recent threads have become non-productive.
Or perhaps Lori Brown from Syracuse.
We have had Peggy Deamer (with Quilian Riano) on the podcast to talk about Architecture Lobby, on ep. 35 - https://archinect.com/news/article/130415330/hot-work-in-the-summertime-from-helsinki-to-london-to-nyc-archinect-sessions-35
Thanks, I had forgotten that . Then perhaps Lori or someone similar who can speak towards gender issue as part of work/research.
Definitely, always worth of continued discussion. Our very first episode was dedicated to gender and women in the workplace - https://archinect.com/news/article/110877796/announcing-archinect-sessions-our-brand-new-podcast-listen-to-episode-1-now
