'Biscuit Boxes', Khizr Studio Podcast Ep.4 (Part 1) w/ Howard Evans

In episode 4 of the Khizr Studio Podcast, Howard and I discuss some core themes surrounding the importance of practicing both architecture and landscape architecture simultaneously, to create more cohesive and human spaces, and how we may require a paradigm shift in our procurement process to solve some of the major issues we're facing as a global community.

All of this and more! Please leave a comment to let us know what you thought of the conversation, and if there are any themes or topics you'd like to hear more of in future episodes.

The Khizr Studio Podcast is a series of conversations aimed to be accessible by architects and non-architects alike, with the purpose of widening our understanding of architecture, landscape architecture, and urbanism - and the societal, political, and economic forces that influence their design.

A series by Khizr Studio.
