AirAA is a multimedia platform that broadcasts conversations within the Architectural Association (AA) beyond its homes in Bedford Square, Hooke Park and Montague Street. Recorded and produced at the AA in London, the AA’s podcast series bring together voices from diverse disciplines. Series include On the Steps of 36, which features conversations between members of the AA community and invited guests; Files on Air, which provides audio readings from authors of selected essays from AA Files; and A Line Traced, which aims to ask challenging questions to examine topics that require urgent architectural responses.










Files on Air is a podcast series in which contributors from AA Files read their work. In this episode, you will hear Ines Weizman – an architect, educator and founding director of the Centre for Documentary Architecture – read her text 'Synchronised by Murder: The 1930 Killing of a Berlin Clockmaker'. In this piece, Weizman examines the implications of a murder in early 20th-century Berlin, unpacking the event as a moment of historical synchronisation. You can read the piece in AA Files 79.
AA Files is the Architectural Association’s journal of record, which promotes original and engaging writing on architecture and its related fields.
AirAA podcasts are conceived, recorded, mixed, edited and distributed from the Architectural Association School of Architecture, which is based in Bedford Square in London. Special thanks to Thomas Parkes for his contribution to the production of our episodes.
