Wonderfully interesting conversations Highly recommend this series, thank you Angelique Edmonds.

Place Agency explores the ways in which design can elevate social impact. In each episode, host Angelique Edmonds is joined by a pair of conversation partners exploring how we can enhance social value through the design process. Season two focuses on why relationships matter in social value creation for the built environment, with conversations spanning four themes: Country, Care, Collective Action, and Commercial. Each theme is presented in two parts.
