Border Art: Step Over the Wall – Step 1: Mexican Muralism

“Border art: step over the wall!” is a documentary series on the History of Border Art, an emerging artistic genre, born on the US-Mexico boundary.

Welcome to a world where architecture meets innovation and sustainability! I am Mathilde Billet, an architect by training, and a passionate French expert dedicated to the transformative practice of reusing construction materials. With like-minded professionals across France and Europe, we revolutionize architectural practices and drive meaningful change in the construction industry. Remember, reusing is an art distinctly different from recycling: it's about giving materials a new life, not just processing them. In 2023, I embarked on an exciting new chapter: a residency in the United States with Villa Albertine. My chosen destination? The vibrant city of Portland, Oregon—a beacon of Circular Economy and a trailblazer in reusing construction materials. Join me in this podcast as I take you on an insightful journey through my experiences. The title of this podcast, "Donut Day," is not only a nod to American culture, but it resonates deeply with Kate Raworth's economic and social donut theory, a practical guide to balancing human essentials with the planet's environmental limits.So, tune in, get inspired, and join the conversation! EPISODE 7: The MentorEnding on a high note with Dave Bennink, the man I contacted before deciding to move to Portland based on his advice. His vision and commitment are unwavering, and he's a beacon of hope for the USA in terms of material reuse in construction."Time and again, even today, we never stop experimenting. The first house we deconstructed took us three and a half weeks; if I did that house today, it would take three and a half days," - Dave BenninkThanks to: Dave Bennink (Link) and his alter ego Guillaume Nicol,Music : Marissa Anderson (Spotify) If you like this podcast, subscribe, leave a comment, share it, and give us a maximum of ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐!And to learn more about Villa Albertine, follow us on social media: Instagram | Twitter | Facebook Writing, Production: Mathilde BilletDirector: Pierre HouléBroadcasting: States PodcastSupport: Villa Albertine Hosted on Acast.
