What is it that makes your community alive? (Ingalill Wahlroos-Ritter)

Architect Ingalill Wahlroos-Ritter speaks with Justin Boone about how architecture has the power to create a greater sense of community and belonging.

In this episode of Living Untitled, architect Ingalill Walhroos-Ritter talks about the responsibility of architects to address the wicked problems facing our communities: inequality, homelessness, climate change and housing insecurity, and about knowing what ‘having enough’ means. What happens when architects approach each project from the perspective of what a community needs, what will foster belonging and bring people closer together, rather than what creates more division?
