Topic of a podcast?

Hi! I absolutely love your podcast! I was wondering if you could deep dive into emotions and architecture and designing for the narrative/poetry? What projects do you think was a good representation of this? I have listened to the past podcasts about this but would love an updated one!!

Amazing learning experience!

But only have I learned a lot from this podcast but it’s amazing to be able to listen to conversations that relate to my own industry. Being in the design industry, it’s so awesome to hear David and Marina’s experience! Highly recommend this podcast to anyone in the industry or just live architecture and design!

Simply a gem

I don’t know of another podcast or content platform that can mix extreme professionalism, high entertainment value, and true authenticity in the way this show does. It says a lot that to speak truth these days is considered brave. The bravery is greatly appreciated. Learned a lot from them and genuinely appreciate the intelligence in this gem of a podcast.
