Adam House: podcast appearances and interviews

Adam House is a Category B listed building located in Edinburgh, Scotland. It is owned by the University of Edinburgh and serves as a facility for the architecture school, comprising four studio spaces and a lecture theatre. The building is a four-storey structure with a basement, situated at 5 and 6 Chambers Street, and was constructed in 1954. Designed by William H Kininmonth, a prominent Scottish Modernist architect, it features a modern neo-classical style. The building includes a basement theatre with 164 seats and architect's studios positioned at the rear to minimize noise and traffic disruptions. Named after Adam Square, one of the three 18th-century residential squares replaced by Chambers Street following the 1867 City Improvement Act, Adam House has historically been used as an examination hall and as a venue for the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the world's largest arts festival. Over the years, it has been operated by various organizations, including C venues and Gilded Balloon, which took over for the 2019 Fringe.
