Lots of summer blockbuster news to discuss on this week's podcast. The winner of the Helsinki Guggenheim competition was announced (a young husband-wife firm from Paris took the cake), SelgasCano's "psychedelic chrysalis" Serpentine Pavilion opened, and Andres Jaque's COSMO for MoMA PS1's "Warm Up" began its water cycle. And while not quite blockbusting, in what could easily be the premise for a Vincent Price flick, residents of the blighted Robin Hood Gardens dared Lord Rogers to spend a night in their quarters.
Special guests Quilian Riano and Peggy Deamer of The Architecture Lobby join our news discussion this week, dropping their excellent and incisive commentary on ethical practice into every topic. We are collaborating with the Lobby to measure satisfaction with work-life balance in architecture – take the 3-question survey here.

I love architecture and baseball, and freedom of speech, but IMO the US has produced nothing so important as soul music.
Ken, Asbury Park is the place to be down where I live. My wife growing up in NJ used to go see Deftones at the Stone Pony back in the day, apparently you did you best to get from Stone Pony to car.......in case you are not Ken and haven't heard of Stone Pony, I'm sure you have heard of Bruce Springsteen - google together.
what's nice is you can get on the train from where I live and walk to places like this recently opened German Biergarten or the Beach. The old buildings are nice and the kids always love the little water park. They used shipping containers for all the little food places.
10 years ago my landlord in NJ told me he was getting some property down there. same landlord also had a bar in NJ he ran once, told me Willie Nelson had played there back in the 80's at his bar....
and I am impressed an entire show of just discussion, getting good at this.
Chris, plus, let's not forget The Saint, great place to see punk and rock music. I was thinking as I was driving through, my how this place has changed, although I wish the HoJo was still there, it would've been nice to get a milk shake.
beta, had to check with my wife and yes she had been to The Saint back when Asbury Park was how you remember it, her brother played there back then (10-15 years ago)....
