https://www.4dbrainstorm.com/"4D Talks" - discussing the 4th dimension of architecture.
This podcast is a series of brainstorm sessions about all the things that architects should consider in their designs, but often don't.
In each episode my guests and I discuss how for example light, senses, play or feminism can be used as a design tool and how much it affects the built environment.

Join the brainstorm and let's discover the 4th dimension together!
