Across the world, urban clusters have —to a greater or lesser extent— social and economic differences. Reflected in space, these imbalances of income and access to education, health, sanitation, and infrastructure generate ruptures more or less visible —although drastically felt.

Although a daily reality for some, socio-spatial inequalities can often go unnoticed. Photographer Johnny Miller states, "Discrepancies in how people live are sometimes hard to see from the ground... Oftentimes, communities of extreme wealth and privilege will exist just meters from squalid conditions and shack dwellings." Miller's photo series 'Unequal Scenes' seeks "to portray the most 'Unequal Scenes' in [the world] as objectively as possible."

The Midnight Charette is an explicit podcast about design, architecture, and the everyday. Hosted by architectural designers David Lee and Marina Bourderonnet, it features a variety of creative professionals in unscripted conversations that allow for thoughtful takes and personal discussions. A wide array of subjects are covered with honesty and humor: some episodes provide useful tips for designers, while others are project reviews, interviews, or explorations of everyday life and design. The Midnight Charette is also available on iTunes, Spotify, and YouTube.

This week David and Marina are joined by Mabel O. Wilson, Bryan Lee, and Akira Drake Rodriguez to discuss racism and cities, how the built environment can be an instigator of racism, protests, the tearing down confederate monuments, housing, blackness and whiteness, the key changes needed for a more equitable society, and more. Enjoy!

When we hear the term visualization, it’s likely that we picture a flashy render full of lights, people, dazzling finishes, and a sense of energy about the place that we are viewing. Aside from rendering a three-dimensional space, architects also need to develop their skills in the representation of intangible ideas that help drive the narrative behind their arguments. Instead of creating one-off concepts that are presented in a traditionally linear sequence, designers need to craft a story, structure their designs like a thesis, and consider how our presentations have the power to reveal the priorities of a project.

Drew Mandel Architects was faced with the tough task of ensuring a completely new design fits within a historical context when designing Moore Park Residence in Toronto. Moore Park Residence marks the first tear-down replacement on a street that mainly includes 1920s-era single-family homes, so the challenge was to integrate the home into the existing streetscape.

The design process involved lengthy discussions with the owner, neighbors, community design review groups, and city officials to ensure the design met the neighborhood’s standards.

Though the home’s exterior was required to reflect many ideals of the original homes on the block, the interior reflects a much more modern aesthetic. The master bedroom, for example, features clean wood flooring, stark white walls and a massive window that mimics the shape of the home’s A-frame topper.

The kitchen’s appliances and fixtures are kept all white to create a clean surface that blends into the white walls and ceiling overhang, while the living room highlights warmer accents like wood floors and a fireplace. The dining room is arguably the warmest room of all due to its tonal wood floors and wood walls with alcoves for books and art.

The space offers plenty of hidden nooks to sit and reflect in.

The third floor is set back at the front and rear, which creates space for green moments like roof terraces. An exterior board-formed concrete wall ups the privacy while still allowing light to reach all three levels.
