The Second Studio (formerly The Midnight Charette) is an explicit podcast about design, architecture, and the everyday. Hosted by Architects David Lee and Marina Bourderonnet, it features different creative professionals in unscripted conversations that allow for thoughtful takes and personal discussions.

A variety of subjects are covered with honesty and humor: some episodes are interviews, while others are tips for fellow designers, reviews of buildings and other projects, or casual explorations of everyday life and design. The Second Studio is also available on iTunes, Spotify, and YouTube.

This week David and Marina are joined by Mark Lee, Principal and Founding Partner of Johnston Marklee and Chair of the Architecture Department at Harvard Graduate School of Design to discuss cities, architecture's responsibility to context, the cultural value of iconic architecture and everyday buildings, architectural education, designing for other cultures, working with clients, designing buildings, 'appropriateness' in architecture, and much more.

Organized by the Hungarian Contemporary Architecture Centre, the festival’s mission is to present an overview of architectural issues currently affecting the world, the region, and Hungary. Furthermore, it serves as a meeting point for architects, film lovers, and everyone else interested in the festival. The organizers believe architecture and urban development are common causes, hence the goal of the carefully-selected program is to initiate a dialogue about the built and unbuilt environment and to encourage the audience to reflect and act.
