In season 1's final episode, Vincenza and I share our favorite moments. We also hear from current architecture students, as they weigh in on the value of interdisciplinary education, being part of a movement (or not), and how they are building hope. It’s full of thoughtful, wise, amusing, and hopeful takes.

From Vision to Action: Pushing Boundaries
We wrap up season 1 with a special two-part episode recorded live in the architecture school library with three returning guests and a gathering of current students. To explore the bridge between hopeful ideas and practical problem solving, topics include finding a firm that matches your values, how to prevent burnout, environmental justice, being part of a movement, and the gift of a good conversation to seed powerful ideas.

In this episode, we talk with Christian Romero, who, during the pandemic shutdown, found creative ways to engage people thousands of miles away using social media. He heard their stories, learned their preferences, and offered design options. In short, he listened.
Professor Brian Kelly was his advisor on the project. Brian joins us for part of this conversation about how architects can best serve the communities in which we work.
