Episode 28: Paul Andersen

Paul Andersen, founder of Independent Architecture, joins the show for a long conversation about his top five buildings in Colorado, the meaning of “good” within architecture, his beginnings at UCLA with Greg Lynn, his times teaching at Cornell, Harvard and UIC, how he started his own firm, and his experience co-curating the US Pavilion at this year’s Venice Biennale.

After the credits we have an extended conversation where we swap our best architecture school review stories (he does a spot-on Peter Cook impression). He talks about what community means to him, traveling between Denver and Chicago, and we talk more about the idea of “good”.
