From global architecture and design firm Perkins&Will, a show about the power of design. Hosts Dr. Erika Eitland and Eunice Wong and their many nerd friends get into the science, the history, the stories, and the decision making that help us understand the spaces we inhabit and how they need to change. We also spotlight what you can do to take the power of design into your own hands.
In the Season 04 finale of Inhabit, Erika Eitland and Kimberly Seigel explore how public art is helping us adapt to one of today’s most urgent climate threats: extreme heat. From misting sculptures like Harbor Fog to kinetic installations like Heat Blooms, these public works of art double as education, refuge, and cooling interventions. With insights from public health and creative leaders, they unpack how art can be leveraged for collective good. We close out this season reflecting on its potential as a climate solution in Boston and beyond and a reminder: design is a future planet intervention.
