Ep. 3: A field of extruded Jenga towers

Luke, Vass and Matt welcome their first-ever guest this week as they’re joined by Alex Josephson, one of the founders of Toronto-based architecture firm PARTISANS and the co-author of a new book called “Rise and Sprawl.”

The gang asks Alex why so many condo towers in our cities are so darn ugly. In a wide-ranging discussion, he tells us how politics, outdated bylaws and a lack of vision have led to a bunch of poorly-constructed buildings that all look the same.
