Next week sees the launch of Face to Face, a new podcast series from Dezeen featuring conversations with the biggest names in architecture and design including Es Devlin, Norman Foster and Thomas Heatherwick.

The first episode, featuring a conversation with artist and stage designer Es Devlin, will be available to download on Tuesday 10 March. Subscribe now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts or Google Podcasts to make sure you don't miss an episode.

In the meantime, listen to the trailer below for a preview of what's to come:

 

Hosted by Dezeen's founder and editor-in-chief Marcus Fairs, each hour-long conversation will give intimate access to the biggest names in architecture and design, exploring who they are and how they got to where they are today.

"We report on the work of architects and designers every day, but we rarely get a chance to get close to the people behind the work," Fairs says in the trailer episode.

Among the guests on the podcasts will be Dutch industrial designer Hella Jongerius.

Tune in over the next eight weeks for hour-long interviews with leading figures in architecture and design.

As well as Devlin, Foster and Heatherwick, the series will feature industrial designer Hella Jongerius, architect John Pawson, fashion designer Roksanda Illinčić, designer Tom Dixon and architect David Chipperfield.

British architect Norman Foster will also be one of the guests on the podcast

Subscribe to the podcast to hear Devlin describe her earliest creative experiments, which involved making obstacle courses for her guinea pigs.

Other highlights include Pawson describing the time he joined a Japanese monastery, and Illinčić explaining how she got a taste for fashion by cutting up her mother's Yves Saint Laurent dresses.

The podcast will feature a conversation with Serbian fashion designer Roksanda Illinčić.

Produced by Dezeen's in-house creative team Dezeen Studio, Face to Face episodes will be released every Tuesday at 9am for the next eight weeks.

The podcast features original music composed by Japanese designer and sound artist Yuri Suzuki, while graphic designer Micha Weidmann created the Face to Face identity.

British designer Thomas Heatherwick will also feature on the podcast

Face to Face is sponsored by Twinmotion, the real-time architectural visualisation solution that can create immersive photo and video renders in seconds.
