Disruption
b'
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.
