Story26
Brunelleschi's Dome is the story of how a Renaissance genius bent men, materials, and the very forces of nature to build an architectural wonder we continue to marvel at today. Denounced at first as a madman, Brunelleschi was celebrated at the end as a genius. He engineered the perfect placement of brick and stone, built ingenious hoists and cranes to carry an estimated 70 million pounds hundreds of feet into the air, and designed the workers' platforms and routines so carefully that only one man died during the decades of construction.

In Architecture of Segregation, the intricate interplay between architecture and societal divisions is meticulously explored, providing a comprehensive analysis of how built environments have shaped and reflected racial, ethnic, and social segregation throughout history. This groundbreaking work delves deep into the historical contexts of segregation, from the indigenous peoples of North America to the African diaspora through the Triangular Slave Trade, uncovering how architecture played a pivotal role in the subjugation of marginalized communities.

In December 1835, fewer than five hundred Cherokee signed the Treaty of New Echota—a document never ratified by the Cherokee National Council or the Cherokee people. Congress accepted it anyway, by a single vote. Three years later, sixteen thousand Cherokee were marched at bayonet point from Georgia to Oklahoma. Four thousand died in stockades, on frozen roads, and by the ice-choked Mississippi. The mortality rate rivaled the Bataan Death March. General Winfield Scott's orders called for "every possible kindness," yet one in four never arrived.

No ancient society has exerted greater influence on the development of Western culture than the ancient Greeks. Over 2000 years ago these people gave birth to the institution of democracy, to scientific investigation and philosophical dialogue, to poetry, both epic and personal, to historical narrative, and to comic and tragic theater.

This book examines how authority in the United States is organized, how it shifted over time, and why the system now feels unstable and adversarial regardless of which party holds power. It is not about elections or candidates. It is an examination of how the system itself works and how it drifted away from the balance it was designed to maintain. At its core, the book focuses on federalism.

Architecture Masters is the podcast from the London Festival of Architecture about the people behind the buildings: a series of conversations with some of architecture’s leading lights. These are the people quietly shaping our cities – all hugely respected within the architectural profession, yet somehow their modest profile often belies the impact they have on the world around us. This is a programme for those that are interested in the people who are shaping our world.
