    S3E2: Planting Roots in Providence

    S3E2: Planting Roots in Providence

    The in-between where Providence shines. And with Spring upon us, it's a good time to think about transitions. Students graduate, new students file in, and the faculty and staff that make this school work rotate. Amidst all this change, it may be hard to see Providence as our home. Let's shift our perspective: how can we give back?

    S3E1: Secrets of the Old Library

    S3E1: Secrets of the Old Library

    What once was a center of student gathering and collaborative learning is now a shell of itself. But looking closer, vestiges of its tumultuous history can be found. Behind locked doors, nestled in heating vents, or dangling from the ceiling. Are these symptomatic of neglect? Or opportunity? Professor and poet Mairead Byrne shows us the covert magic of the Old Library.

    S3E0: Defining a Community

    S3E0: Defining a Community

    How do you define the RISD community? In this episode, we went to the RISD Beach and asked students to offer their perspectives. This season, we want to explore what "community" means at this school through student spaces on campus and the community members supporting them.

    S2E5: Rodolphe El-Khoury, Hashim Sarkis, Nader Tehrani

    On this episode, I sat down with Rodolphe El-Khoury 86 BArch, Hashim Sarkis 85 BArch, Nader Tehrani 86 BArch. We spoke about how their friendship, formed in the RISD Architecture Department, led them to their current positions as the deans of the University of Miami School of Architecture, MIT School of Architecture and Planning, and The Cooper Union School of Architecture. We were curious if there was a special ingredient at RISD which produced three great leaders. And we even asked if they are interested in becoming the next department head at RISD Architecture... only kidding, of course.
