Andy Rutledge: The Designview Show Podcast

Andy Rutledge, of andyrutledge.com, now brings you The Designview show— examining design fundamentals, business, culture, and professionalism. Show #1, October 22, 2007: Too often, designers are not allowed to design. And in every case it’s either the designer’s fault or the agency’s fault, never the client’s fault. Part of the reason for this is that we've allowed our profession to be stolen from us. It’s time to take back our profession.

UPDATE: Show #2 now available

WAN: User Generated Architectural Resource

WorldArchitectureNews (WAN), billed as the world's leading supplier of news to the global architectural community, is one of the resources I cherish for all things Global Architecture. It's full of news, podcast interviews in mp3, project images, links to architects and lead architectural stories of our times. A great feature is the News In Pictures section. I had never heard of Zaha Hadid before, but after seeing this, I'm now a fan. If you're looking for an education on architecture, or are researching the latest projects on the horizon, this WAN is a great place to start.

Another nice caveat is the fact that their global project database is user generated by member architects who actively build and update the site. WAN offers a RSS feed, but they go a step further and explain what this is if you're a newbie.
