Episode Description

Whatever happened to QR Codes and overlaid information in the real world?

Does Mixed Reality (MR) and Augmented Reality (AR) still play a role in the architectural design and construction of our built environment?

So far we have been exploring Architecture in the Metaverse together. Sometimes this involves exploring new worlds using Virtual Reality headsets, a computer or a phone to explore different designs and creations.

I'm interested to know if AR/MR still has a role to play in enhancing the real world or if we should focus on building new ones in the Metaverse!

Luckily, to explore this topic, I will be joined by James Lee Burgess who is a Founding Director of UrbanXR and a specialist in the design and delivery of world-scale Augmented Reality experiences.

Failed Architecture Failed Architecture Failed Architecture is a podcast on architecture and the real world. By opening up new perspectives on the built environment, we seek to explore the meaning of architecture in contemporary society. FA challenges dominant spatial fashions and explores alternative realities, reaching far beyond the architectural community. We combine personal stories with research and reflection, always remaining committed to the idea that architecture is about social justice and climate justice, pop culture and subculture, representation and imagination, and everything that happens after the building’s been built. Exploring History: Medieval to Modern 1400 - 1900 - for iPad/Mac/PC The Open University Ever wanted to understand the key themes driving over five hundred years of European history? In this album, architecture reveals the social, religious and economic fortunes of some of the most influential people between 1400 and 1900. By the end of the 19th century Queen Victoria presided over the vast British Empire. She looked out from London, the heart of her empire, with its buildings echoing Imperial Rome. Brussels’ architecture, like London’s, was also designed to show the world the power and imagination of its 19th century king, Leopold the 1st. Architecture was also used in the medieval period to show devotion to God or simply to signal wealth and authority. The wealthy French nobleman, Jacques Coeur, completed his imposing palace in 1450 and Richard Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick’s chapel not only reflects contemporary ideas about death and salvation but also the status of one of the most powerful English noblemen of the 15th century.
