Edinburgh Futures Institute

For us normals, building castles in the air is as far as we can hope to get.

Not so for this week's Ayers for Architecture podcast guest, poet and creative projects manager at the Edinburgh Futures Institute, J.L. Williams, or Jennifer, to those who know her.

Jennifer published Strange Architectures

this year.

But again, I was wondering, what is a flexible architecture? What is an architecture that allows its inhabitants space to be in it in different and original ways? That's a question I ask about poems.

Can this poem allow an individual to have their own experience within it? And in terms of thresholds, I first found out about your podcast because of Chris L.

Smith, who you'd interviewed, who was doing a kind of some work at the Edinburgh Futures Institute, which is where I have my day job as the creative projects manager.

And I'd met him and had wonderful conversations with him about architecture when I was putting this book together.
