Poet and novelist Holly Pester comes on the pod to discuss Cafés (Fitzcarraldo Editions, 2026), her T. S. Eliot Prize-shortlisted collection and elegy for communal space. The interview was recorded in Holly’s office at the University of Essex during Freshers’ Week, where she also read an except from her novel The Lodgers. Pictured cafe isn’t part of Holly’s book, just a personal favourite - Hermann Czech’s Kleines Café (1970–74) Publisher’s note: Welcome to Cafés! Somewhere to eat and forget about work, where we can meet friends and not think about love, where we can meet lovers and be too nervous to eat. In Holly Pester’s unique lyric, the café becomes a structure of fantasy and language exploring life at the pressurized edges. It becomes a form – a canto or a verse – unearthing what this space promises us in terms of freedom and thought, and what it holds back. In each iteration, the café remakes itself through the people who pass through it. A worker tries to run a café franchise. A lover sits in the corner, waiting. A woman mourns a friendship while contemplating age and childlessness. An artist tries to launch an art café and hosts an open mic. Both a stylish political intervention and an elegy for communal space, Holly Pester’s newest collection reaffirms her as one of the most exciting poets of our time. 13 Nov 2026

ARTIST TALK; Richard Wentworth in conversation with Matthew Blunderfield Saturday 21 November, 2.30pm Tickets: £6 per person, book via link in the bio. Join us on Saturday 21 November for an afternoon in conversation with Richard Wentworth and Matthew Blunderfield amongst Wentworth’s current exhibition at Far Far Gallery; COINCITY. One of Britain’s most influential contemporary artists, Wentworth has spent decades exploring the overlooked details of everyday life: the objects, materials and unexpected arrangements that shape how we see the world around us. In COINCITY, these observations lead into questions of surface, scale, weight and making - with works that invite us to look again. Matthew Blunderfield, architect, educator, photographer and host of the podcast Scaffold, will explore the ideas and encounters behind Wentworth’s practice. With shared interests in art, architecture and the built environment, the conversation offers an opportunity to discover more about the thinking behind the work. Whether you have already visited COINCITY or are yet to experience the exhibition, this is an opportunity to spend an afternoon with the artist, hear directly from him about his work, and the ideas that inform it. Spaces are limited, please book to reserve your seat. #farfargallery #exhibition #artisttalk #richardwentworth #contemporaryart 30 Oct 2026

Holly Pester comes on the pod to talk about Cafés, her book of poems published this summer by Fitzcarraldo. Recorded at the University of Essex earlier this month. @hollypest @fitzcarraldoeditions 30 Oct 2026

On Thursday 15th of October Thomas Randall-Page from THING is opening the Royal College of Art’s public lecture series 2026/27 Curated by Matthew Blunderfield the series is entitled “Before Us : The city at close range” the series brings together six practices to consider the local not as a retreat from the wider world, but as a lens through which to understand it more precisely. Spanning temporary interventions, sacred spaces, public housing, and urban ecologies, this series asks how global forces are made tangible in particular places. It also considers how architecture might respond across scales, from objects and interiors to buildings and urban spaces. Presenting projects from both before and after the establishment of his collaborative practice THING which he directs with Patrick Fryer and Lucas Facer, Thomas will show work ranging wildly in scale, permanence and pace, unified by a characteristically playful approach. Reserve you spot at this free lecture by visiting www.rca.ac.uk/news-and-events/events/school-of-architecture-public-lecture-series-before-us-the-city-at-close-range-thomas-randall-page/ 18:30-20:00, Lecture theatre 1, Darwin Building, Kensington Gore, SW7 2EU 12 Oct 2026

Looking forward to kicking off this lecture series next week at the RCA. Drawing explicitly from London-based practices to consider how global forces are made tangible through particular projects and places. This is the first public lecture series the RCA Architecture programme has hosted in quite some time. I’m excited to steer the conversation towards ideas directly shaping the city around us - a conversation for and about public life! Please come. Drinks at the art bar after. Tickets are free and open to all via link in bio.

I wrote a short text called ‘The Pleasure Principle’ for New Architects 5. Published every five years by @architecturefoundation, the book collects the UK’s best new architects. Against the familiar account of the digital superseding the physical, I saw a current running through the book revealing an appetite for friction, heat, noise, crowds, food: a picnic becomes utopia; a sauna is an amphitheatre; weather is architecture; audience is environment. Architecture here is not so much a monument or a shelter as it is, simply put, experience: fleeting, uncertain, alive with the presence of other people. That so much of it is commissioned by festivals and nightclubs says something about our society of spectacle, but also about what little else young practices are given to build and transform today. I hope this unruliness, this ambition for the full sensory spectrum of architecture, can extend beyond the pavilion and the festival and into our streets, schools and housing - all those more durable spaces of everyday life.

“The potential of AI is on the data side — to be able to track and understand, to notify, to have the potential to improve processes … How do you assess performance in real time? It’s more about finding the right info to make informed decisions at the right time, very fast, and then achieving the outcome you want to have.” Listen to Michael Drobnik, Associate and Lead of Design Technologies, discuss how AI is used at Herzog & de Meuron — from its use in practice, to its aesthetic impact, to how it can be leveraged for architectural education. The podcast is now available at hdm.com (link in bio) and builds on a conversation held last year on stage at the Barbican. Hosted by Matthew Blunderfield of the Architecture Foundation, it also features Shajay Bhooshan (ZHA) and Martha Tsigkari (Foster + Partners). #herzogdemeuron #designtechnology #artificialintelligence #architecture #design 14 Apr 2026
