Who to qualify, or identify quality in architecture is the topic of discussion this week on Burning Down the House as Curtis B. Wayne is joined by architect, professor and editor Dr. Wilfried Wang. Together, they discuss how tradition, innovation and context all play into this idea of quality. How should a building's use inform its formal expression? How do we find the front door? Where do we go when finally inside? How does wayfinding succeed or fail? Must we revert to a neoclassical formalism, or can modern expression convey information? This program was sponsored by Fairway Market
"If you insist on too much innovation for the sake of innovation, you're running the risk of disconnecting yourself from tradition and heritage."

This week on We Dig Plants we move away from Brooklyn and take a look at another borough: Queens. Susan Lacerte, executive director of the Queens Botanical Garden, joins hosts Alice Marcus-Krieg and Carmen Devito to shed light on the great cultural and technical history behind the garden--- from its green architecture and design (it is a LEED Certified building and has a sustainable rose garden!) to the many different community and cultural activities that the garden hosts year round. This episode is sponsored by Whole Foods Market.
"The building and the landscapes have become our biggest teaching tool . . we have over 20,000 school children come from Queens and around the city a year to learn about photosynthesis, to learn about how plants help our environment."
--Susan Lacerte on the We Dig Plants
