  • When London Burned: How the Great Fire Shaped Cities Forever
    2025/09/26

    In 1666, London burned for four days. Thirteen thousand homes were lost, St. Paul’s Cathedral collapsed, and 80% of the medieval city was reduced to ashes. Out of this devastation came an extraordinary opportunity: the chance to rebuild a city from the ground up. Yet London was not remade in the image of Rome or Paris—it was rebuilt on the bones of its medieval streets, locked in place by property rights and lot lines.

    In this episode of The Clayton Vance Podcast, we explore how urban design becomes destiny. From Roman grids to medieval chaos to Enlightenment rationality, the story of London’s fire reveals a truth that still shapes our world: once the framework of a city is set, it scripts the lives of generations to come. What does this mean for us today, as we lay down the bones of our own neighborhoods and cities?

  • The House That Shaped America: Split-Levels, Modernism, and Meaning
    2025/09/19

    Clayton grew up in split-levels—the emblem of postwar American housing—and traces how that “efficient” template reshaped our built world. In 1940 the U.S. had ~40 million housing units; by 2020, ~140 million. Most of that growth followed a new ethic: economy, mass production, engineered materials, and “form follows function.” Before 1940, homes were guided by craft, proportion, natural materials, and an embedded language of beauty. This episode explores what was lost in the shift, why so much recent housing feels a-stylistic, and how learning the classical language of architecture can restore character without abandoning function. If architecture is the record of our civilization, what story are today’s neighborhoods telling—convenience or beauty?

  • The Hidden Flaw in Sustainability: Beauty, Zoning, and What We’ve Forgotten
    2025/09/08

    We’ve been chasing “sustainability” for centuries — from banning butchers in 14th-century London to today’s endless regulations and paper straws. But have we been asking the wrong questions all along?

    In this episode, Clayton Vance argues that true sustainability isn’t just about insulation, carbon footprints, or solar panels. It’s about building places people actually want to keep. From historic homes that endure, to the grand enemy of sustainability — modern zoning — we explore how beauty, proximity, and connectivity may be the most overlooked solutions of all.

    If your definition of sustainability can’t survive time, it isn’t sustainable.
