The Pod[CHAOS]t is a collaboration between the American Institute of Architecture Students and the Young Architects Forum. In this podcast series AIAS members and students Erin Conti, Kari Essary, and Alex Geisen along with architects and design professionals Matt Toddy, Katie Kangas, and Ricardo Rodriguez engage in conversations with invited guests about topics important to both students and young professionals. Topics include social impact architecture, firm culture, and mental health and other stigmas in the profession.
We talk a lot about the practice of architecture - but the reality is that the culture of architecture is at a crossroads. We’re in the midst of a generational shift in our industry that is disrupting the way emerging professionals enter into the workplace, develop their skills, and advance into leadership roles. Firm culture is critical to each of these components - join us as our guests discuss their experiences and shed some light on highlights from their journey into the profession.
Moderators: Katie Kangas and Kari Essary

Pod[CHAOS]t Ep 3 - Social Impact Architecture
The true power of design goes beyond the built environment and impacts the lives of people and shapes communities. In Emily Roush-Elliot and Omar Hakeem’s view, good reductive design pairs with the pragmatism of social impact architecture. Making a social impact requires a rigorous professional practice to make the change a reality. Join this discussion pairing the art of architecture with the toolbox of skills architects use to create a social impact in the built environment.
