In this episode, we sit down with architect, editor, and curator Florencia Rodriguez, Artistic Director of the Chicago Architecture Biennial (CAB) 6. We dig into the ideas shaping this year's edition—titled "Shift: Architecture in Times of Radical Change"—and her approach to curating a biennial that centers transformation, public space, and critical imagination.

Rodriguez reflects on her journey from Buenos Aires to Chicago, the founding of PLOT and SOILED, and her evolving relationship to criticism as both practice and provocation. We explore how writing and curating can act as architectural tools, shaping not only discourse but the environments we inhabit.

We also soft-launch Bad at Sports' partnership with CAB 6—an evolving audio collaboration that will track the biennial's voices, urgencies, and ideas throughout the year.
