I picked up a copy of
Metro Source in my building's lobby and flipping through found a profile of Roman Mars's design radio show named
99% Invisible about "design, architecture and the 99 percent invisible activity that shapes our world." You can read the Metro Source interview
here. Below are several episodes I found appealing and thought you would like to listen to, too.
Episode 44:
The Pruitt-Igoe Myth
Episode 29:
Cul de Sac
Episode 24:
The Two Fates of the Old East Portico
Episode 13:
Maps, they don’t love you like I love you
Episode 9:
Private [as in Privately Owned Public Open Spaces]
The show's complete archive is
here.
