AIA San Francisco's first podcast series, ArchCasts, is part of a public outreach campaign to help demystify and explain the design process to the general public. Dubbed a 'public service' by the Los Angeles Times, ArchCasts feature Bay Area architects in conversation about issues of relevance to architecture and design. While the series is designed to educate the general public, it can be used by professional architects, students and design enthusiasts alike. We invite you to listen (by clicking an MP3 link below) and subscribe. The following podcasts were commissioned for the STREET CRED San Francisco: Architecture and the Pedestrian Experience exhibition. SAN FRANCISCO FEDERAL BUILDING This podcast features architect Thom Mayne, principal of the Los Angles-based firm Morphosis and designer of the new San Francisco Federal Building, in conversation with Andrew Blum, a Brooklyn-based writer and regular contributor to Metropolis and Wired magazines. Mayne will discuss the social implications of his most recently built project—both in terms of how it serves federal employees and the public. Produced and edited by Melanie McGraw.
