Ken Andrews: Principle Architect at Arch 11, and The Way Design Inhabits the World

Ptolemic, Charles Eames, phenomenology, architecture, compression and release. In the spirit of Vitruvius - commodity, firmness, and delight - this podcast is the ultimate synthesis.

Show Notes

I sit down with friend, fellow cyclocross racer and Principal Architect at Arch11, Ken Andrews.  I have personally been fascinated with design and architecture since I was a kid, but never understood the nuances of why I liked some buildings and not others. 

Take a look at the amazing designs on Arch11's Instagram feed: 

Ken takes me through, with passion, expertise and humility:

• art, function, style, proportion
• defining compression and release
• the interconnected role of construction and architecture
• site specific response
• the making of space and how design inhabits the world
• Arch11's commitment to a built environment and eliminating carbon footprints 

Here are the books and movies now on my list from this chat:

• Charles Eames, Screening Room and Powers of 10
• Bjarke Ingels: Abstract on Netflix
• The Phenomenology of Religious Life (Studies in Continental Thought)
