Building Talks… Creating Communities – Episode 1: An interview with Jo Wright at Perkins & Will
Season 2, Episode 1, Nov 14, 2023, 05:00 AM
Welcome to Building Talks …Creating Communities.
New developments can face massive local opposition, attacked for poor design, a lack of public services, and low quality civic space.
These are the challenges we'll be tackling in season 2 of the Building Talks podcast. By talking to built environment professionals over four weeks we will explore their personal stories, influences and motivations. We will ask them: why is there so much interest in the placemaking agenda? And how can we make the places we work and live in better?
In episode 1 Building’s architectural editor Ben Flatman interviews Jo Wright, managing director of Perkins & Will. Jo has years of experience integrating complex multidisciplinary teams and working on largescale urban projects.
She discusses the influence that working in Berlin before the wall came down had on her career, and the need to build for the long term.
