Architecture journalist Sam Lubell is a self-described “expert in failure.” As the co-author of the literary phenomenon Never Built, Sam’s passion is uncovering structures that never came to be. Sam’s immersion in unrealized dreams -- from suspension bridges with skyscrapers for legs, to a geodesic dome for the Brooklyn Dodgers -- has given him unique insight on how spaces make us more -- or less -- human. On Oct. 28, Sam releases his new book Life Meets Art: Inside the Homes of the World's Most Creative People.  Sam and Justin also discuss raw beauty as a cure for depression, architecture as a civil right, and how to balance work and relationships, especially as a freelancer.LINKSSam Lubell's website: www.samlubell.com/Life Meets Art www.amazon.com/Life-Meets-Art-Inside-Creative/dp/183866131XAMAZING photos of Never Built NY at the Queens Museumwww.theverge.com/2017/9/17/16304212/never-built-new-york-queens-museum-art-exhibit-previewGREAT VIDEO of Never Built NY at the Queens Museumhttps://vimeo.com/241024579CRAZY photos of Never Built L.A. www.theguardian.com/cities/gallery/2017/feb/09/unbuilt-los-angeles-city-might-have-been-in-picturesNever Built N.Y. the bookhttps://www.artbook.com/9781938922756.htmlNever Built L.A. the bookhttps://www.artbook.com/9781935202967.html

Authors Greg Golden and Sam Lubell stop by to talk about their book: Never Built New York with host Miguel Baltierra

Greg Golden and Sam Lubell

Greg Goldin

Never Built New York, by curators and authors Greg Goldin and Sam Lubell, is an astounding collection of architectural projects that never made it into being. The book features projects from the last two centuries, sited all throughout the five boroughs, that range from the monumental to the mortifying. Alongside infamous projects like Buckminster Fuller’s dome over Manhattan and Frank Lloyd Wright’s Key Plan for Ellis Island, visions for an alternate New York-urbanism abound: aborted reflections of their time, place and politics. The book continues in the tradition of Goldin and Lubell's 2013 exhibition, "Never Built Los Angeles", including focused research on each project alongside gorgeous drawings and visualizations. I spoke with the authors about their curatorial approach to the book, and the projects that they were most excited by.
