Hearing Architecture The Australian Institute of Architects

The Hearing Architecture podcast proudly sponsored by Brickworks, presents Again and Again and Again, a mini-series hosted by Hilary Duff.
Each week, we will bring you interviews and conversations as we seek better ways to understand, harness and deploy the expertise and knowledge of professionals currently within the design community, at home and abroad. Our guests are all experts on circularity within the building industry and share the aim to display that waste is not an accident but the consequence of decisions made at the design stage. Here is our opportunity. We, as designers, have an opportunity to do better.
In this episode, we hear from Andri Snær Magnason. He is not our usual podcast guest as he is not a formally trained architect, yet he has worked alongside them, written for and about them, and comes from a lineage of family involved in the environment, whether built or natural.
I thought that my conversation with Andri would be a good starting point for the publication of my research because he deals with words and facts in a way that we as humans can relate.
His books, projects, presentations, and advocacy all try to convince us of one thing: We need to start connecting to future in an intimate and urgent way.
Today’s discussion focuses less on architecture, and more on our environment as a setting for our future and how and why we care about it.
Andri is a Reykjavik-based Icelandic writer and documentary filmmaker, who navigates the realms of environmental activism, architecture, visual art, music, film, and theatre. He ran in the 2016 Icelandic presidential election, where he passionately advocated on environmental issues. His literary portfolio spans novels, poetry, essays, theatre and children's books, performed and published across more than 40 countries. His 2019 National bestseller, "On Time and Water," delves poetically into the alarming realities of environmental change, approaching the subject as if a shared tale at the dinner table. 
Time, particularly in the context of climate change, is a recurrent theme in his work, and he offers an intimate perspective that resonates amidst the overwhelming facts and figures. In our conversation, Andri emphasizes the challenge of connecting people to a future that seems beyond imagination, stressing the need for a more personal understanding of time as a dimension in the face of global changes. 
I spoke with Andri back in his office in Reykjavik in August 23, after I had just returned from a hike in the highlands of Iceland to view the now declassified OK glacier, and Andri’s commemorative plaque which we discuss in our recording.
Our interview explores the power of language and its ability to collapse these wide expanses of time into something we can feel, touch and get close to emotionally.
It was a joy to speak about these topics in which architecture slots itself within. Energy, resources, materials, landscape, and time.
This has been Again&Again&Again, a mini-series of Hearing Architecture, proudly sponsored by Brickworks, and made possible with the support of the Alastair Swayn Foundation. 
Thank you so much for listening and thank you to our international guest Andri Snaer Magnason for your discussion, your stories and your myths. We join you in the goal of making the future feel intimate, relevant, and in realising the interconnectedness of individuals and loved ones across the unfolding timeline we exist in. We look forward to speaking with you again.

In this episode, Katie Skillington speaks with registered architect and academic at Melbourne University, Jarrod Haberfield. Katie and Jarrod discuss the subject of Jarrod’s PhD, which focused on Art and architecture and the emergence of the art-museum typology. They discuss art’s influence on Jarrod’s architecture work, the role of criticism in art and architecture, and the realities of undertaking a PhD compared to working in an architecture firm.

In this episode of Hearing Architecture, Daniel Moore is speaking with registered architects Ed Lippmann, director of Lippmann Partnership, and Peter Sarlos of Sydney East Architects and special counsel at M&A Lawyers. Daniel, Ed and Peter discuss a case study regarding moral rights in architecture in which one of Ed Lippmann’s projects was involved. Moral Rights provisions in Australia’s Copyright Act expressly recognise and protect the rights of authorship, including the right of attribution, the right against false attribution, and the right of integrity. Ed and Peter take us through the case study where another architect was engaged to undertake work that impacted one of Ed’s projects and how he and the other architect addressed his moral rights as the works were undertaken.
