Very inspirational! Thank you Damaris!
Excellent examples of how space informs human behavior.
Subtitles please:)
Architects, should create the politics of architecture. Where they all establish guidelines for a better and much more engaging building/spaces with one only purpose, the wellbeing of people who use them.

Cities in the Garden! Cities designed for walking. Mixed use buildings i.e. apartments with balconies above workspaces. City owned-cars. No parking garages or parking lots. Mass transit! Like the Epcot Park in Floride.
Thank you for this talk! It's this type of thinking that encourages me to not give up on this degree🤍
So inspiring.
Amazing how our buildings impact us in so many subtle ways and the quantum decisions we make
