Architects' designs for Donald J Trump Airport

from Dezeen Weekly

Does Donald Trump approve of modernist buildings if they have his name on them? And are we living through an era of architectural "gentleism"? In this week's episode of Dezeen Weekly, Dezeen editor Tom Ravenscroft and features editor Nat Barker discuss architects' proposals for an overhaul of Eero Saarinen's iconic Washington Dulles Airport following criticisms made by Donald Trump (00:47). Then, they reflect on the significance of the pick for this year's RIBA Royal Gold Medal, Irish architect Niall McLaughlin (15:35). Finally, they consider the impact of Brexit on the design industry, five years after the UK's departure from the European Union (23:26).
