Mark Gardner, a principal at Jaklitsch / Gardner Architects, joins the podcast to discuss designing across cultures, architecture as a social practice, and his non-traditional path to the field.
"I realized how a lack of construction experience or experience handling materials is a deficit to design thinking. If you’re working on a project, understanding how an assembly of things all go together doesn't limit you. It actually expands the possibilities of how you can design." — Mark Gardner
