Disruption
Recorded in the wake of Tuesday's election results, this episode got a bit emotional. Fred Scharmen\u2014designer, researcher, and assistant professor at Morgan State University's School of Architecture and Planning\xa0in Baltimore\u2014joins us to discuss\xa0the potentials and pitfalls of a technocratic urbanism, and whether the former king of cat memes can really offer anything to cities. Our conversation is largely in response to Fred's recent piece for Archinect,\xa0"Architects: If You Don't Start Disrupting Urbanism, Silicon Valley Will Do It for You.", with reflections on how technology and media are responsible for our current political climate.
