Welcome to episode 2 of the CRITBAY podcast. A bi-weekly architecture news show where Cathal and Rebecca take you through the latest happenings in the world of Architecture and Design.

This week we are discussing the controversy around a proposal for a new £130 billion circular rail network, protests at BIG HQ London, a new airport for President Donald J. Trump and a quick look at a loft renovation project in central London.

This week, Cathal and Rebecca catch up on what’s been happening in architecture: a trading card store refurbishment in New York, five standout “Houses of the Week” from Dezeen, and the news that architect Niall McLaughlin has been awarded the RIBA Gold Medal.

And if you want eyes on your own work, CRITBAY offers straightforward, practical critiques to help you level up your portfolio and projects — details in the show notes.
