The climate is changing faster than safety codes can keep up.
Architect-friend Arathi joins Dody, Peter and Tarek to talk about to help us understand the built environment and where we live, whether it's Washington DC or Cairo, Egypt.
It's a conversation that holds clarity about the big picture at the same time as being routed in place and community. Or, in other words, “Dodylandia”.
As ever, music and sound production by Tarek, who also joins us to co-host this for the first time! Thanks Arathi for joining us, and to Raph for artistic sparkles.
