“Even if all your choices are bad, you have to pick the best bad choice because that’s the only choice you’re going to have to survive,” says Gary Cole, explaining why his character, NCIS Special Agent in Charge Alden Parker, made the split-second decision to pose as a heart surgeon in the latest episode.

The actor told us more about filming the adrenaline-pumping installment in our weekly after show NCIS: Case Closed. (To see the entire interview where he breaks down the episode, watch the video above.) Parker allowed himself to be kidnapped along with a real cardiac specialist, Navy Commander Clara Logan (Christina Kirk), who was being taken to operate on Colombian drug kingpin Carlos Savina (Juan Javier Cardenas).

Suspenseful storyline aside, the hour also gave us the opportunity to learn more about Parker, who almost passed out when the patient’s chest was opened up. “Apparently [Parker has problems] stomaching certain things, which is funny to me because he seems to have no problem walking through an autopsy room looking at carved up bodies. There must be something about an actual beating heart that throws him — or the actual cutting,” says Cole. “I wouldn’t say that I’m squeamish on a level like that. But I don’t have any needle fear.”

Turns out that “needle fear” known as “trypanophia” is also an issue for the team leader. But it’s another one of his “phobias” — commitment — that he might have to deal with going forward. Even in crisis, he and doc Logan delivered on banter. By the episode’s end, their exchanges took on a tender aspect that seemed to surprise Parker himself. “I don’t know that you were left with the feeling that Christine’s character may be returning. That’s the way it looks to me. And since we’re coming back, we’ll find that out,” Cole says, alluding to the procedural’s renewal for a 22nd season.

Will this season, like previous ones of NCIS, end on a cliffhanger? Cole will only drop a subtle hint about the finale: “What I can say that people are in trouble. Big trouble. And it’s going to take everybody — and I’ll lay a little hint — it’s going to take everybody on board. If you take the clue.”

Check out the video above for more from Cole on behind-the-scenes details from the shoot, like trying an inversion table for the first time; auditioning for one of the movies that was name-checked in this episode; and Parker’s friendship with Torres (Wilmer Valderrama). Come back each week for a new episode of NCIS: Case Closed to hear from the people who make the show.

Interview: Zuloark

Weltraum, a radio podcast about space on the jabbering Independent Coastal Radio NOR we hosted Juan Chacón, an architect, researcher and educator. He is the co-founder of the collective Zuloark (2001), which enables the open-source distribution of architectural and urban planning knowledge, a co-founder of the cooperative Zoohaus (2007) and part of the open-source network Inteligencias Colectivas (2010).

Since 2009, Juan has been researching community development models in Berlin. With Christina Serifi (Digital Architectuul Fellow 2020), he co-founded the Tirilab initiative, which explores intercultural heritage related to local technologies, gastronomy and cultural specialties of rural communities in northern Greece.

Juan taught as a member of zuloark and researcher at UDK in Berlin, Pontificia Universidad Javeriana in Bogotá, Technische Universität in Berlin and San Jorge University in Zaragoza. His work with zuloark and zoohaus has been exhibited in the MoMA in New York, the Akademie der Kunste in Berlin, the Lisbon Architecture Triennial and the Matadero Museum in Madrid, among others.

Zuloark is an open office for architecture and urbanism. You co-founded it in Madrid in 2001 and in 2010 expanded its headquarters to La Coruña, Berlin, Bologna, Athens and La Palma. What does open office mean?

Juan Chacón: For Zuloark the word open office is not really well defined.  Since our principle is based on belonging to the collective,  It means that the environment or the name is open to everyone for participation. Also the word open reflects open source, that’s why we use it to define ourselves. Of course, there are so many voices in the collective and each one is defined in a different way.

What is its approach?

JC: First of all we will need to define what it means architecture. We can understand architecture as a built environment but you can understand architecture as a place where education happens and then spaces are created in different ways. The practice of architecture can unfold in different ways.

In Zuloark we don’t close a definition of one type of architecture but we try to engage with architecture in different layers and ways. Therefore we develop projects in different scales, we engage different communities and agents, we are trying to involve different parts in our practices, all this to create better places in a more participatory way that engages more people in the design of it. 

In all these countries that I’ve mentioned? 

JC: In 2001 we founded Zuloark and in 2010 we expanded. We founded it while we were students and between 2008 and 2010, after finishing our studies, we started to professionalize the structure. In that period members started to move around Europe and elsewhere, so we found a way to adapt to its members. When a member moves in a city also the office moves there and starts to activate different networks.

In a way you also have an open structure of work?

JC: In the last ten years we have been trying to develop governance, forecasting and evaluation  systems and tools. We try to be strict in the way we organize, to benefit the participants and  projects that are common to everyone. This creates the independence of work with some guidelines and fixed points towards the collective in order that we can be all coordinated. This methodology intends to create a structure that allows flexibility but at the same time allows the collective to work as a network not as independent units.

Zuloark involves tactical urbanism, participation, festivals and construction workshops in a DIY way. How do you involve users in architecture?

JC: We never use the word user. It doesn’t exist in our vocabulary. We always involve the group of people or community in the process of final design. We share the methodology of how we can build the place together. When we design for example a public square, we don’t think about how we will work with the users. We are going to be part of this square and of the group of people creating the place by itself. 

You co-founded the cooperative Zoohaus, which initiated the international practical research Collective Intelligences; what is the field of this research?

JC: Zoohaus is a wider network than Zuloark. It is a network launched in 2010 that tries to rephrase what we are doing. It was constituted in Madrid as a cultural association that engaged in cultural projects related to the public space. The idea is to engage and collaborate with networks all around the world based on intelligent design. We started to create a catalog where anybody can upload and contribute to its database their solutions. It is not organized by institutions but is coming from communities or individuals.

Zuloark has had an active involvement in academic contexts, teaching in Madrid, Berlin and Monterrey. What is based on your educational practice?  

JC: ...is based on ourselves. The most important educational process for Zuloark is Zuloark itself. We consider a collective as a kind of learning environment. We were always talking about the Vygotsky’s Zone of proximal development, a concept that explains how you can learn things by helping each other and creating environments of professional learning, where you can always engage with new skills. This is the core of Zuloark. The second thing started with educational models in collaboration with universities in a more punctual way, proposing workshops or formats that can take education out of the universities itself. Some of us engaged in a more formal way inside universities with an approach of situated knowledge, always learning about a specific case going out of the theoretical level and trying to create hands-on spaces.

How do you manage to fund your projects?

JC: The funding is very diverse, fifty percent are public coming from cultural institutions through grants and open calls, also applying for European funding. These funds are for self initiated projects. Other part is based on private commissions for clients, which want to be involved in participatory projects.   

Your collaborations include different collectives; how do you choose them and develop the working process?

JC: There are many levels, one of them is based on a daily basis collaboration where people have a regular income, then is a network of collaborators that have some collaborations during a year in some project and we define them as individual agents. We create a lot of partnerships with other entities to learn from. All collaborations are developing during a period of time so we can create some kind of trust among each other.

On what shall architecture focus in the future?

JC: On situated knowledge, waste, emissions, environment, society and social interactions.

I watched the season 1 finale of Snowfall the other week and it was really awesome.

Lucia’s family were scared of her ambition, wow and the shoot out as well was epic! She decided she wanted the business so she definitely had ambition.

Teddy shot Alejandro for cutting up that girls body, yeah that was pretty gross, I am not surprised. I think he deserved that. Teddy is morally a good guy so I can see why he did that. Then he got the Columbian’s to let him be the supplier of the cocaine.

Franklin is moving up in his business world and growing himself an empire! 

I really enjoyed season 1 of this show! it was really good!

I like the vibrant colours and tone of the show and writing/directing.

It’s really great.

I can’t wait for season 2 <3
