Episode Description

If you've ever been job seeking, you've probably looked at over a hundred Architecture Practice's online which includes scrolling through their websites.

Some are an absolute job, with beautiful images and a great user interface which glides you from one project to another with a gentle touch.

The vast majority of Architecture Practices' websites on the other hand deserve to be taken to the Web-design JAIL for serial offences such as slow-loading websites, unclear menu structure, absolutely empty Archi-Jargon, HUGE images or even hidden contact details.

These are a few, there are a lot of others. I'm joined from across the pond, Bryon McCartney who is co-founder of ArchMark

Together we will discuss:

- How branding and marketing makes firms more resilient in a recession

- Blogging to build your reputation and reach and perhaps most importantly of all what his team learned from evaluating more than 600 architecture firm websites.

📐 The Architecture Social is an online platform packed with content to help you find new jobs, stand out from the crowd and take your career in Architecture to the next level

Platforms that engage people a trial Amherst at 200: Celebrating Mind, Heart, and Community Amherst College Since 1821, Amherst has prepared critical and creative thinkers for lives of purpose and discovery. Amherst at 200: Celebrating Mind, Heart, and Community, released as a part of our Bicentennial celebration and narrated by Tony, Emmy and Golden Globe winner Jeffrey Wright ’87, showcases the stories of 10 graduates from 70 years ago until the present. Each story is both a snapshot of life on campus and a reflection of the richness of an Amherst education. Tony Jack ’07, through personal experience and social research, explores how race and class impact the academic experience. Kathy Chia ’88 shows how the liberal arts can inform the architectural design process. Bill Pritchard ’53 describes how the College can change and grow without sacrificing what makes it special. Plus, current Amherst president Biddy Martin and past presidents Tony Marx and Tom Gerety reflect on their experiences at the College and the importance of the liberal arts in higher education. Listen to the st Exploring and Designing our Future Robot Companions Queen Mary, University of London In these 2 interviews from the LIREC research project (http://lirec.org/node/1864), Prof Peter McOwan explains how his team is exploring how to develop new forms of technology for artificial companions, either robotic or virtual. He emphasizes that LIREC is unique in this emerging field of enquiry in that it incorporates long-term studies in genuine environments such as an office or a house, and also whether a robot can migrate to different devices, in effect switching bodies. He also covers how his emotion tracker iCat software can identify and recognise faces and expressions and then react to them. This is an ambitious project, incorporating a vast array of interconnected technological, social and philosophical questions: physical robot design, software architecture, modelling the behaviour and emotions of companions as well as their capacity to detect the emotional expressions of humans, not to mention questions of ethics, memory, and longitudinal studies of human-companion relation
