The MXD crew welcomes Ryosuke Imaeda to discuss models, materiality, craft, and mysterious architectural objects! We start off the episode with a model-focused edition of Cold-Crits.
Ryo tells the MXD crew about his time at global design firms Zaha Hadid Architects and Reiser Umemoto Reiser. We also discuss his design-research through teaching and his perspective on materiality and craft in the production of a project.
In a new edition of Yay or Nay, we discuss diagrams and their roll in representation. We also debate whether metaphor has a place in architecture.
And finally, in Trending Topics we talk about "aesthetics-maxing", noticing new trends in design.
