It's widely felt that the British buildings and townscapes have, since the Second World War, become uglier and of lower quality. From their tasteful half-timbered space station, Tom and Calum ask Samuel Hughes, an academic and aestheticist, about the causes of those complaints. We discuss the inherent characteristics of architectural beauty, the divergence of taste between architecture students and the rest of us, and the future of the British buidl environment.

In this episode, we are visited in our thatched space station by a wunderkind economist who wants to turn a portion of the North Sea into a Wales-sized island. Duncan McClements is that economist, and you can find his blog, co-authored with Jason Hausenloy, below. https://modelthinking.substack.com/p/a-new-atlantisEditing by Calum Drysdale and Aeron Laffere.
