About this episode

Güray Oskay discusses the future of Spatial Strategy and its impact on human-centered architectural design.

S8 E10: When a strategic architecture and experience firm thinks about design in decades-long time horizons and considers culture, community, and climate in their built environment projects – what emerges are deeply human-centered projects that serve all stakeholders well. Spatial Strategy is the architectural equivalent of “thinking before we speak” - the practice of planning designs and builds based on insights, future needs anticipation, and more.
