If you are curious about architecture and you’re also curious about your brain, then it means that you are curious about Dr. Eve Edelstein. Eve lives at the intersection of architecture and neuroscience. She co-founded Clinicians for Design, an international consultancy whose research is guiding more thoughtful environments for healthcare.

In this episode, we discuss artificial intelligence, new technologies, how we think and learn, and the exact moment when Eve came to recognize the responsibility that architects and designers have to save lives through design.

James Kerrigan is a musician, designer, and a true global citizen. His career in design has carried him from Australia, London, Los Angeles, DC, and now Dallas. In addition to his masterful skill in guitars, and talented eye for design, James is a deep thinker.

Like many of my conversations with James, he finds a way to stretch my mind. In this chat, we explore the future around the purpose of place and he encourages us to think bigger about the profession of interior design - to think outside the building and how the role of place and placemaking can go far beyond the typical four walls around us.
