ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
Desert Island Buildings asks our guests to share “the architecture of their lives” by selecting five buildings that are most relevant to their work, have altered their design approach, or that have left them baffled, inspired, angry, or lost for words.
The show reveals how our guest’s background education, culture, and upbringing have shaped their identity and their approach to architecture.
The show is produced by District Development Unit, an impact enterprise working to change how people build towards a more resilient climate future.
