“The built environment is not inert. It’s an active agent in the shaping of people’s lives.”
Why are our buildings crushing our quality of life? Sarah Williams Goldhagen joins the show to talk about her new book, Welcome to Your World
“It’s all architecture, and it all needs to be as well-designed as you can make it. And at any level of investment, you can make a better building or a worse building.”
Enjoy the conversation! Then check out the archives for more great episodes!
