About this episode

The episode features discussions with AIA CEO Carole Wedge and architects Julia Jamrozik and Coryn Kempster about architecture and its impact on children, along with insights from Darcy Frank MacKay, who grew up in a Modernist home.

There's no business like the architecture business, and the AIA chose out first guest Carole Wedge as CEO to lead their 98,000 members. Architects Julia Jamrozik and Coryn Kempster make cool swing sets and pipe installations - and they wrote a book about kids who grew up in Modernist houses. Darcy Frank MacKay is one of those lucky kids. She grew up in a 17,000-square-foot Pittsburgh house with a rooftop dance floor, an indoor swimming pool, and furniture designed by none other than Walter Gropius and Marcel Breuer.
