Marc Swackhamer, the Chair of Architecture at the University of Colorado Denver and co-founder of HouMinn Practice joins the show to discuss discovering architecture at the University of Cincinnati and setting up a thesis at Rice that would plague/challenge him the rest of his career. We talk about issues of inclusion and equity within the profession and academia, winning the national search to be the Architecture Chair at CU Denver, explorations with his partner Blair Satterfield at HouMinn and LoDo Labs, and experiments that borrow strategies from nature to produce unexpected results like a Nursepod that can repopulate forests after fires.
