This episode starts off with a guided spatial exercise, followed by some quick and dirty architectural theory, followed by a case made for interdependence. Internal architecture bridges the internal and the external, exploring work that is both intimate and professional, abstract and practical. This episode is just the beginning to future conversations we will have on this topic in the future!
