Don McKay on Community-Focused Library Design & Poetic Potential in Architecture | Episode 9
"As general trust in public institutions has eroded, libraries have largely been able to keep the trust of the public." - Don McKay
Don McKay is a Principal at Sheehan Nagle Hartray Architects, a leading architectural firm with offices in Chicago and London.
His journey in architecture started with a simple suggestion in a shop class that led him to discover a life-long passion. Don finds his greatest inspiration from architecture’s poetic potential and the challenge that comes with designing highly tailored solutions. With four decades of experience in the industry, his work with the firm has earned more than 20 industry design awards.
In today's episode, Don takes us on a deep-dive into many of the projects he and his team have worked on, why architecture is so important to him, how to effectively incorporate flexibility into a space, and what he's learned as a designer over the years. It was truly a joy to have Don on the show, and this is one you don't want to miss!
