Design EmergencyDavid Gissen on the Architecture of DisabilityArchitecture’s traditional approach to disability revolves around “fixing problems” by securing adaptations that will allow disabled people to access the ideal world of full biocapacity. Architect and scholar David Gissen wants to “shift the conversation about disability away from a focus on the problems of a disabled user and their problems engaging with rooms and bathrooms and sidewalks,” he explains, and toward the acknowledgment that weakness and impairment are woven into human and natural history.In his 2023 book The Architecture of Disability and in this conversation with Paola, David explores how disability can be seen as a lens...

Architecture Off-CentreOn the Architecture of Disability / David GissenIt has been a while since architects have been attempting to address various forms of disability in the buildings, neighborhoods and cities they design. However, these attempts are most often limited to increasing access for differently abled bodies. Our guest today, David Gissen, argues that a disability critique of architecture is not one that solely seeks to make the built environment more accessible but instead understands how embedded the ideas of physical incapacity and impairment are within architecture. David Gissen is a New York-based author, designer, and educator who works in the fields of architecture, landscape, and u...

SpectralThe "My Way" Killings & The Billings' BodyHere’s a BOGO on scary stories! In this episode, we’re diving into two unexplainable events that still send shockwaves throughout their communities. First, we’ll talk about the phenomenon known as the “My Way” killings in the Philippines. Are these deaths really just caused by a Frank Sinatra-induced karaoke rage, or is something more sinister at play? Then, we’ll dive into the mutilated body found in the Billings Reservoir near Sao Paulo, Brazil. We can’t easily explain away 53-year old Joaquim’s gruesome wounds and missing organs, unless it’s… aliens? What do you think happened?

GastropodBite: Smoked Pigeon and Other Subnatural DelightsIn this week’s bite-sized episode, Nicky travels to the campus of Duke University, in Durham, North Carolina, for a day of talks and tastings exploring the shifting status of stinky cheese, offal, insects, and other funky foods. At different times and places, these foods have been regarded as “subnatural”—low-class, disgusting, even unhygienic. But what does categorizing these foods as subnatural say about us, and what happens when we decide that they’re desirable, after all?
