The successful practice of architecture requires an inquisitive nature and the desire to be in dialogue with others, explore the impact of design and ask the right questions.

Omar Garcia leverages all of these skills in his work, his practice, and his podcast, Student Architect.  Whether experimenting with architecture and design, working with different forms of media, or simply taking a bike ride down the mountains, Omar is always looking for an opportunity to learn and share architecture and all its wonder.

In our conversation, we discuss both his leadership in the AIA as a recent student and his thoughts on the exploration and exchange of ideas and conversations that move the profession forward and bring people together to design a better, more responsive world.
