The Architect's Rolodex
Podcast Description
As architects, we’re curious about the built world but especially curious about the people that activate it. We want to have conversations with passionate professionals about why they do what they do. So, we’ve decided to take conversations that have traditionally happened around the harvest table in our studio to a podcast format. Listen as we have regular conversations with design leaders, colleagues, and all-around great humans as we explore more deeply COOKFOX’s ethos of regenerating and elevating the natural and human condition in our urban environment.
