James Whitaker Portrait

Being interviewed for Therese-Marie Hinrichs’s podcast, What’s Next - Rethinking Architecture was a delight and a privilege.

Therese was a wonderfully enjoyable host to chat with and it was great to explore what I’m passionate about. I hope it’s as enjoyable for you to listen to as it was for us to record!

“On a planet of finite resource, if you’re going to make something you’ve got to make sure that thing is great.”
— James Whitaker

Notes

The piece of furniture in Edinburgh that I was thinking about is the Bed Box project by Oli Chapman.

The space standards set out by the Greater London Authority (GLA) that I mention are here on page 49.

The Banshees of Inisherin, which has rekindled my enthusiasm for Guiness, is terrific and well worth a watch.

57'10 Podcast /  by James Whitaker

57’10’s podcast is out featuring the interview that they recorded with me back in November last year. We chatted about all sorts of things, ranging from my experience of working at Heatherwick Studio, what grand tour I would recommend for students on their summer holidays, and the role computer generated images play in my work. It was lovely chatting so hopefully it makes enjoyable listening!

There are some other interesting podcasts in their series so be sure to explore their back catalogue.

Bored Panda Facebook Post

What a crazy couple of weeks! In September I contacted Dezeen about a house that I'm designing at the minute and it ended up being their most popular article for 10 days. It went viral. Forbes wrote about it. The Metro would like to see it on Airbnb. One reader of Bored Panda thought that it would increase his chance of being abducted by aliens. CNN featured it, as did Huffington Post Deutschland, The Sunday Times, Dwell, Archdaily, Elle Decoration Netherlands, Curioctopus, Curbed, Inhabitat, Casa Claudia, Ignant, Hypebeast, Design Boom, Demilked, Konbini, The Awesome Daily, Inside Hook, Plain, World Architecture Community, Mind Body Green, New Atlas, Architectura Viva, Interesting Engineering... There are a whole load more articles out there to explore but even this shortened list is very flattering. I'm looking forward to the next stage now!
