This falls into the podcasts label as well. Kevin McCloud is a very popular presenter of programs on architecture here in the UK (I'm sure the long-running show Grand Designs is seen around the world, too). Tim Ross is as well-known in Australia, perhaps less internationally.
For most of their joint adventures in architecture and design, they stick to that specifically. This particular episode, though, takes a strong detour into art and is very much worth the listen. It's a get-your-cuppa-and-settle-in-for-a-nice-intellectual-saunter sort of listen. Janet Holmes a Court is using her wealth for the betterment of the society around her and talks movingly about where she sees art in the social context, why it is important, and how it relates to architecture... which she sees (as do I) as an art form of its own. It was good enough for me to want to share it with you. It is unclear to me (until this post goes live) whether the link below will give you the full 58 minutes or just a teaser clip. If it's the latter, and in case you fancy listening to all the other conversations Kev and Tim have, you can do so at this link.
