In this episode I speak about the influences of Globalism in general and a few aspects of life and culture that globalism permeates, like language. We discuss globalism and its relation to architecture and how architecture is metaphoric of greater shifts in our culture happening as a result of globalization. The positives of globalization in architecture, business, and non-places of utility is discussed (airports, hospitals, McDonald's). Those are then countered with the negatives, such as a lack of local influence, soul-crushing efficiency, and one-size-fits-all approach. A discussion about what values go into these decisions is had, and then we finish with a discussion of examples of globalism and international business being a part of local architecture through McDonald's Restaurants and how that shows what we can do as a species into the future for a culture built for humans.
