“Border art: step over the wall!” is a documentary series on the History of Border Art, an emerging artistic genre, born on the US-Mexico boundary. On this highly symbolic and emblematic border of the world's closure, artists, scholars and curators from both sides seek ways to transform division into connection. 

Episode 3: Let’s take one step further into the history of art making at the US-Mexico border, and see how transnational artistic collectives and ChicanX people have questioned—and continue to question—all kinds of boundaries, and so, the very definition of Border Art.

Welcome to a world where architecture meets innovation and sustainability! I am Mathilde Billet, an architect by training, and a passionate French expert dedicated to the transformative practice of reusing construction materials. With like-minded professionals across France and Europe, we revolutionize architectural practices and drive meaningful change in the construction industry. Remember, reusing is an art distinctly different from recycling: it's about giving materials a new life, not just processing them.

In 2023, I embarked on an exciting new chapter: a residency in the United States with Villa Albertine. My chosen destination? The vibrant city of Portland, Oregon—a beacon of Circular Economy and a trailblazer in reusing construction materials. Join me in this podcast as I take you on an insightful journey through my experiences.

The title of this podcast, "Donut Day," is not only a nod to American culture, but it resonates deeply with Kate Raworth's economic and social donut theory, a practical guide to balancing human essentials with the planet's environmental limits.

So, tune in, get inspired, and join the conversation!

EPISODE 7: The Mentor

Ending on a high note with Dave Bennink, the man I contacted before deciding to move to Portland based on his advice. His vision and commitment are unwavering, and he's a beacon of hope for the USA in terms of material reuse in construction.

"Time and again, even today, we never stop experimenting. The first house we deconstructed took us three and a half weeks; if I did that house today, it would take three and a half days," - Dave Bennink

EPISODE 6: The House

A small immersion, or perhaps digression, into the place where I lived for over two months. A place that speaks volumes about the city...

"I moved in here in 2009, there were no walls, no heating, just a few electrical outlets, a makeshift bathroom, and people lived here, there were performances, always music everywhere..." - Evan Caile

EPISODE 5: The Community

Change sometimes starts with just a handful of individuals who want the best for their community. The story of Rebuilding Center is told by the fabulous Shane Endicott.

EPISODE 4: The Public Policy

A focus on the deconstruction ordinance that made its American debut in Portland. I'm trying to understand what motivated the city to implement it in the absence of any national policy.

"Alongside this, we saw more and more signs in Portland neighborhoods saying 'stop demolishing Portland,' a kind of movement strongly supported by the communities..." - Shawn Wood

EPISODE 3: The Store

A deep dive into reuse stores, snippets from my visits, and impressions. Here, material reuse is part of the culture!

EPISODE 2: The Activists

I'm feeling my way, searching, trying to grasp where I've landed and how the United States operates in terms of urban life, environmental innovations, and funding for alternative projects. In this episode, three people are interviewed, discussing various urban, community, and environmental themes: Shawn Wood, Mark Lakeman, and Arthur Perez.

"This culture of activism started expressing itself in public spaces that were developed in this city" - Mark Lakeman

Welcome to a world where architecture meets innovation and sustainability! I am Mathilde Billet, an architect by training, and a passionate French expert dedicated to the transformative practice of reusing construction materials. For over eight thrilling years, I've been at the forefront of a movement, collaborating with like-minded professionals across France and Europe. Our mission? To revolutionize architectural practices and drive a meaningful change in the construction industry. Remember, reusing is an art distinctly different from recycling: it's about giving materials a new life, not just processing them.

In 2023, I embarked on an exciting new chapter: a residency in the United States under the auspices of Villa Albertine. My chosen destination? The vibrant city of Portland, Oregon—a beacon of Circular Economy and a trailblazer in reusing construction materials. This city didn't just catch my eye; it captured my imagination.

Join me in this podcast as I take you on an insightful journey through my experiences. You'll hear about the fascinating people I've met, the groundbreaking discoveries I've made, and the profound reflections I've gathered along the way. "Le Jour du donut" (The Day of the Donut) might seem like a quirky nod to American culture, but for me, it resonates deeply with Kate Raworth's donut theory. This innovative economic and social model is not just a theory for me; it's a practical guide to balancing human essentials with the planet's environmental limits, where material reuse plays a pivotal role.

EPISODE 1: The Landing

In this episode, I give you a raw look at my arrival in San Francisco—what I do over a few days while introducing who I am and what I've come to do here. You'll notice I'm also figuring out how I'm going to make it all happen. This first episode shines a spotlight on Christopher Rendro, who also sees the city in a unique way.

"When I look at this place, this urban farm on a vacant lot, I can easily picture it in Golden Gate Park, for instance, where a small section could be dedicated to cultivation..." - C. Rendro
