Book excerpt: How the BBC shaped popular perceptions of architecture and placed them at the heart of debates over participatory democracy. In the years between the world wars, millions of people heard the world through a box on the dresser. In Britain, radio listeners relied on the British Broadcasting Corporation for information on everything from interior decoration to Hitler's rise to power. One subject covered regularly on the wireless was architecture and the built environment. Between 1927 and 1945, the BBC aired more than six hundred programs on this topic, published a similar number of articles in its magazine, The Listener, and sponsored several traveling exhibitions. In this book, Shundana Yusaf examines the ways that broadcasting placed architecture at the heart of debates on democracy. Undaunted by the challenge of talking about space and place in disembodied voices over a nonvisual medium, designers and critics turned the wireless into an arena for debates about the definitions of the architect and architecture, the difficulties of town and country planning after the breakup of large country estates, the financing of the luxury market, the expansion of local governing power, and tourism. Yusaf argues that while broadcast technology made a decisive break with the Victorian world, these broadcasts reflected the BBC's desire to continue the legacy of Victorian institutions dedicated to the production of a cultivated polity. Under the leadership of John Reith, the BBC introduced listeners to the higher pleasures of life hoping to deepen their respect for tradition, the authority of the state, and national interests. These ambitions influenced the way architecture was portrayed on the air. Yusaf finds that the wireless evoked historic architecture only in travelogues and contemporary design mainly in shopping advice. The BBC's architectural programming, she argues, offered a paradoxical interface between the placelessness of radio and the situatedness of architecture, between the mechanical or nonhumanistic impulses of technology and the humanist conception of architecture.

Book excerpt: "This book charts the history of Broadcasting House from its construction to its refurbishment. Mark Hines tells the complete story of the building, from the BBC's early years and its commissioning of the state-of-the-art headquarters, through the Second World War bombing and the decline of the building in the 1980s and 1990s, to its triumphant rebirth as a technologically advanced home for BBC Radio. Two pictorial 'tours' of Broadcasting House, one of the building when newly completed and one after its refurbishment, give a compelling picture of working life beyond its imposing bronze doors during the pioneering days of radio, and again in the digital age. Full of fascinating anecdotes and the personal accounts of those who built and have worked at Broadcasting House, the text captures perfectly the excitement of the first years of radio and the pioneering spirit of those who founded and shaped the BBC, as well as the make-do-and-mend ethos of the Corporation during the war and its reinvigoration for the new century." "With an entertaining foreword by broadcasting legend Sir Terry Wogan, and profusely illustrated with archival images and 70 stunning, specially commissioned photographs, The Story of Broadcasting House is the only comprehensive history of the building, and a unique celebration of an institution that is much loved the world over."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book TOWERS IN THE SAND written by Donn R. Colee Jr. and published by North Loop Books. This book was released on 2016-08-30 with total page 535 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Broadcasting touches almost every person in the United States every day. But like the air we breathe, we seldom give it a second thought. Towers in the Sand is the only comprehensive history of Florida's broadcasting industry, 1922-2016, the people who brought the stations to life, and the events that saw the state grow from boom to bust and back again to now the nation's third most populous. Over a decade in the making and fully referenced and indexed, Towers in the Sand tells stories from over eighty Florida broadcasting pioneers and current leaders, from the Keys to the Panhandle. A celebration of broadcasting's proudest moments through hard-hitting journalism and editorials, lifesaving moments through decades of hurricanes, and lighthearted moments with favorite personalities and promotions. Towers in the Sand also laments the loss of a national treasure as most stations were transformed from local community partners to lines on corporate balance sheets. As broadcasting sits at the precipice of a very uncertain future, the author hopes through this work to engage thought, conversation, and action to ensure its continued relevance in society.
