Episode Details

Hannah wants to start a new architectural movement — one that picks up where Art Deco left off, not one that starts over. In this episode, Corn and Herman break down why CIAM failed, what Poundbury got right and wrong, and how a Jerusalem-specific style could emerge from five concrete tenets: local stone, archaeological ornament, harmonic proportions, parametric geometry, and climatic responsiveness. They explore how to build a platform for a living tradition — not a museum piece, but a forward-moving design language that learns from the past without copying it. If you've ever wondered whether architecture can be both beautiful and functional again, this one's for you.
