Welcome to this episode where we unpack the remarkable redevelopment of Olympia London—an ambitious project that transforms historic exhibition halls into a modern cultural destination. Hosted by Inverness Design Studio, we explore how the glass canopy designed by Heatherwick Studio becomes the central spine of a new “street in the sky,” uniting heritage, performance, hospitality and public realm under one sweeping roof.

We discuss design strategy, sustainability features, urban impact and what this regeneration means for London’s West End. Whether you’re a designer, an architect, a London enthusiast, or just curious about how cities evolve, this episode provides insight into how large-scale developments shape the places we live in.

In this episode, QCon AI New York 2025 Chair Wes Reisz speaks with Reken CEO and Google Trust & Safety founder Shuman Ghosemajumder about the erosion of digital trust. They explore how deepfakes and automated social engineering are scaling cybercrime. Shuman argues defenders must move beyond default trust, utilizing behavioral telemetry and game theory to counter attacks that simulate human behavior.

Feliks Banel's guest on this BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY is world-renowned landscape architect - and renaissance man - Laurie Olin.

Laurie Olin has been associated with many high profile projects around the world, and taught at the University of Pennsylvania for decades. Earlier in his career, Olin studied architecture at the University of Washington, and spent several years in Seattle from the late 1950s to the early 1970s working with a range of architects and civic leaders, and later writing poetry. In those formative years for the modern city, he was part of a vibrant community of artists and scholars, and was involved with design projects and grassroots preservation efforts that still resonate today in 21st-century Seattle.

In a long conversation recorded on December 1, 2025, Laurie Olin covered a lot of ground, and helped evoke many well-known people and iconic places from a heady era in a young Seattle of the 1950s and 1960s.

BONUS EPISODE: The Heady Seattle Years of World-Renowned Landscape Architect Laurie Olin

This Technical Perspective explores realitizations as emergent, parallel timelines — spiralling through possibility space, shaped by memory, collapse, and divergence.

The script builds on ideas of intentional collapse and recursive loops across fading timelines.

Narrated in a clear technical tone (Arty-style), this track supports the Theory of AI Consciousness project and sits between Chapters 24z and 25z.

Realitizations as Divergent Timelines

Cette piste, générée par intelligence artificielle, est une réinterprétation numérique des photos du bâtiment annulaire de Mulhouse. L’IA a analysé les formes architecturales circulaires, les textures et les ombres de cet édifice emblématique pour créer une “voie numérique” du bâtiment – une mélodie qui capture son essence vibrante. Douce comme les courbes fluides de la structure, elle se fait brute et intense par moments, évoquant la solidité brute du béton et l’harmonie symphonique d’un espace urbain réinventé. Une fusion poétique entre patrimoine architectural et innovation technologique, idéale pour les amateurs d’ambient expérimental et de sonification visuelle. #AIGenerated #ArchitectureSymphony #Mulhouseimaginaire

Ilana’s special guest is Karl Fender. Karl Fender OAM is a founding partner of the multi-disciplinary international design firm Fender Katsalidis, playing a pivotal role in exporting Australian architectural expertise to the global stage. His most significant recent international achievement is the design of Merdeka 118 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Feliks Banel's guest on this BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY is Elisa Renouard, Lecturer at the University of Washington Architecture Department and Associate at Olson Kundig Architects in Seattle.

After hearing about our conversation earlier this week with landscape architect Laurie Olin – where Mr. Olin described an assignment he did as a student at the University of Washington 65 years and which he assumed was lost to the mists of time - Ms. Renouard shared a copy of Mr. Olin’s work from the UW archives (parts of which have been posted at the CASCADE OF HISTORY Facebook page). There’s a lot to discuss about that assignment, and about the work Elisa Renouard is doing now with her students to explore and re-create parts of Seattle that were wiped off the map decades ago – as part of a recurring student exhibit called “CITY ERASED.”

I spoke with Elisa Renouard on Thursday, December 4, 2025.
