This week's guest on Burning Down the House is writer Amanda Kolson Hurley, who contributes to publications such as Architect Magazine & Urbanite. Tune in for an insider conversation on the world of architectural writing, the concepts behind BIM (Building Information Management) and IPD (Integrated Product Delivery). Also hear about her work with IMT (Institute for Market Transformation). This program was sponsored by S. Wallace Edwards & Sons.
"BIM [Building Information Management] is the technology and IPD [Integrated Product Delivery] is the process. It's fair to say that IPD is a process that derives from BIM but isn't possible without BIM."

Katy Purviance Basic is talking about form and function on this week's installment of Burning Down the House. Curtis B. Wayne calls up Katy to chat about the role of architecture in improving life, and the problems with design school. Why does so much contemporary architecture neglect the users of the structure? Curtis and Katy talk about formalism, and how novel (but generally nonfunctional) design often leads to increased work for designers and architects. What commonalities do Christopher Alexander and Dr. Temple Grandin share? Find out on today's episode of Burning Down the House! This program has been sponsored by The Heritage Meat Shop.
"I believe, like many others, that form follows function. But when you start with form and try to stuff the function into it, you get a building that doesn't quite work." [5:30] -- Katy Purviance Basic on Burning Down the House
