Episode description
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.
