Episode 241: Tackling urban density, rediscovering the beauty of 1960s walk-up unit blocks & remembering Mulholland Drive with Tone Wheeler
On our 7th anniversary, in this episode of Talking Architecture & Design, we explore the evolving landscape of our cities and the ideas shaping how we live. Today, we’re tackling urban density and taking a fresh look at an often-overlooked housing model—the humble 1960s walk-up unit block.
Architect, author, lecturer and urban thinker Tone Wheeler joins us to discuss why these mid-century apartments still hold so much potential in today’s housing crisis.
From their efficient design and human-scale living to their adaptability for modern sustainability, we’ll explore how these buildings can offer a viable alternative to high-rise developments.
Are these walk-ups a relic of the past or a blueprint for the future? Let’s find out.
