Merel Pit and Tracy Metz talk to architects, clients, researchers and thinkers. With urban planner Riek Bakker, for example, who has touched almost every city in the Netherlands with her magic wand. Or architect Francine Houben, who last year garnered much praise for the public library she designed in New York. Ever heard a roof architect or a textile architect talk about the profession? You can in this podcast. The conversations are substantive but certainly not too technical. Everyone at the table is an expert, but we never use jargon that excludes us, the laymen. lay people? Are we really? No, actually not, we can conclude after listening. Because building and designing is what all the guests of Pit and Metz do for us, the people.
