"The mother art is architecture. Without an architecture of our own we have no soul of our own civilization." Frank Lloyd Wright

Rod Rada, originally from Patagonia Chile, is an architect at Architects West in Coeur d'Alene. Such a fascinating conversation from a man who has been all over the world, that we are lucky enough to have living and working here in Coeur d'Alene. 

Rod has been active with the Kids Draw Architecture program of the CDA Arts & Culture Alliance which is a one-day program in September pairing kids with local architects, designers, and artists to learn to draw, while given the opportunity to appreciate our local architecture and history. Kids Draw Architecture is sponsored by Architects West.
