In the U.K.’s first covid lockdown, Talking Volumes host Reuben worked as a waste collector in Brighton & Hove. In this episode, Euan asks Reuben about his experiences being out across the city at a time when everyone was locked at home; and how architecture changes the way our streets are cleaned, and the daily lives of the people who do that work.

The Architectural Experience of the People  Who Collect our Waste.

Talking Volumes is a podcast that seeks to understand how space impacts our lives, in both subtle and significant ways.

We wish to understand the political, historical, environmental, and social contexts that form around built spaces: how the physical elements of walls, floors, and ornament collide with the conversations, connections, and emotions that happen within them to create our experience of buildings and built forms.

We want to extend dialogue about architecture beyond the exclusive space of the Architect. We hope this will develop into a platform to connect with other thinkers and designers; and form new ideas about how spaces can be better used to face the social, environmental, and political challenges of the 21st Century, at both the macro and micro scales.
