Buildings are everywhere and right now we have never been more aware of the built world around us.

But what are the stories of our buildings – who designs them, who pays for them, who uses them – why do some buildings survive and other buildings die and why do some buildings become sites of protest or others get attached to our very identities?

In this new podcast host Emmett Scanlon is going to be talking to all kinds of people about the buildings that matter to them.

He also talks to the buildings themselves to record their stories so we can understand what is it that buildings do all day in our lives and in our imaginations.
