TAC has quickly become my favourite podcast, and has proven a great intro for this relative late-comer to the industry.
Ruben does a great job of gently squeezing the wisdom from each of his guests, and champions traditional approaches without ignoring their challenges or trade-offs.
Keep up the good work.
I’m a retired architect and actually don’t think about building much these days. I stumbled upon the related YouTube channel and then started listening to this podcast.
It’s making me reevaluate traditional architecture which is a really interesting experience.
The Aesthetic City podcast is well worth a listen for anyone interested in urbanism and architecture
Inspiring conversations for those seeking more traditional urban beauty.
I was waiting for a podcast on the topic and this one hits the spot.
Great podcast that focusses on why we have lost the ability to build beautiful classical buildings. Really interesting guests and asks the question, should we be demanding more.
