    In the second part of our discussion of Sigfried Giedion's 'Space, Time and Architecture' we covered the canalpunk aesthetics of cast-iron bridges, the transformation of material technology in the 19th-century and the Chicago School, completing his teleological march up to modernism which we will discuss in the next episode.

  • 130 — Sigfried Giedion's Space, Time and Architecture — 1/4
    Sep 29 2025

    In this first episode of a new series on Sigfried Giedion's 1941 book 'Space, Time and Architecture', we discussed the approach to architectural history and urbanism in the first part of this totemic publication which shaped modernist architectural culture. Giedion was a Jewish historian from a family of Swiss industrialists, born in Prague who studied under Heinrich Wölfflin in Munich. He was a founding member of the Congrès Internationaux d'Architecture Moderne or "CIAM" who left Europe for America in the 1930s like many other Jewish émigrés. The lectures he gave at Harvard in the late 1930s were published as 'Space, Time and Architecture', one of the most influential works of architectural history and theory of the 20th century.

  • *Patreon Bonus Unlocked* — WG Sebald's Rings of Saturn
    Sep 10 2025

    This is an unlocked Patreon bonus episode from our series on WG Sebald (episodes 77 & 78 in the main feed), if you enjoyed listening to this episode, please consider supporting the show on Patreon for access to our entire back catalogue of bonus episodes.

    In this final bonus episode from our series on WG Sebald, we discussed his two books 'The Rings of Saturn' (1995) and 'On the Natural History of Destruction' (1999). Both texts return to key themes of Sebald's writing: The Rings of Saturn is a melancholy walk across the low, flat plains of the East Anglian coast, where repressed memories of imperialist violence and mundane tragedy uncomfortably resurface alongside the banality of daily life. On the Natural History of Destruction is comprised of a series of essays reflecting on the memories of World War II in German literature, particularly the destruction of cities during the bombing campaigns in the final years of the war.

    Our next series will be starting at the end of this
