I was recently invited to speak on Trending Eagle about architecture, urban trends and Idea Bombing. It was a great opportunity to also share some insights from my recent trip to Europe.

Here is a list of european projects mentioned during the show –

Tempelhof Airport, Berlin
– Tempelhof was estabilished by the Ministry of Transport in 1923.
– Tempelhofer Freiheit is a vast modern park surrounded by urban quarters.
– The gentrification of nearby suburbs, and associated urban tension, is visible throughout the park
 
– supermarket experience
 
Meet the Maker, London
– new summer campaign
– window displays
– drop in meetings
 
The Shard, London,
– designed by italian architect, Renzo Piano
– 87-storey skyscraper
– The use of a steel frame on the lower floors allows for longer column-free spans in office areas.
– The concrete frame on the upper floors helps with soundproofing living areas for the hotel and residential apartments.
 
– roof top bar
– car park
– view over old Lisbon
 
Mercado de San Miguel
– “A traditional market for the 21st century”
 
Thanks Arrnott Olssen and Dan Courtnall for having me.
