Kseniya Otmakhova | China's 'Socio-Spatial' Set of Challenges The Negotiation

    • Marketing

In this episode of The Negotiation, we speak with Kseniya Otmakhova, a Schwarzman Scholar and Director of Public Relations at Ballistic Architecture Machine. Her role as a PR manager comes with a focus on furthering research on the New Silk Road with the goal of developing it into one of several of BAM’s unique “Urban Initiative” projects. Kseniya is quite obviously brilliant so for this episode I chose to ask few questions, get out of the way and let the tape run as she speaks eloquently on using the power of design for social impact, her reframing of the Belt & Road Initiative as a “Socio-Spatial set of challenges”, the value and appeal of becoming a Schwarzman Scholar, and China’s strengths and weaknesses in architecture and urban design. Enjoy!
