The Radio Architecture Project

Dear friends and listeners, we're very pleased to announce the next phase in the evolution of  
Burning Down the House –
- your weekly fix on design and architecture.

We will be producing 
Burning Down The House  
through the independent audio production auspices of  
The Radio Architecture Project. 

Steve Smith, of Steve Smith Consulting will produce our next several programs, which we will be recording in the field, in the studios and offices of architects and designers - even at construction sites here in the metropolitan New York region!

As before, we will be providing Burning Down the House for broadcast and podcast on the  

Heritage Radio Network..

Three Kings of Design - Epiphany 2010

Pedro and Mathias are principal in Vacavaliente (www.vacavaliente.com) - where they express their love for leather as the primary (and sometimes sole) working material for whimsical interior elements:

 

BREAKING NEWS!

 

This program marked the end of the studio-based format for Burning Down the House - because, dear listeners - we are taking the program

ON THE ROAD!

Yes!

2010 will be full of many exciting developments, as we take our recording gear into the field to talk with architects and designers in their studios, builders on their construction sites, and even - we do hope - with construction lenders and bankers in their offices.

STAY TUNED FOR MANY NEW DEVELOPMENTS.

Thanks for listening. Talk with you again soon.
