Can the buildings that we live in come alive? Could such living buildings help us to create a healthier, more sustainable future? Could they become adaptive, resilient structures that care for the planet while empathizing, comforting and inspiring us? The Living Dialogs podcast brings together scholars and thinkers to collectively reflect on living architecture and its implications for our changing world. In each episode, guests and listeners are invited to reflect on prompts designed to encourage thoughtful, in-depth discussion. You are invited to contribute your own thoughts and questions, which may be taken up at a live webinar with the same guests a couple of weeks following each episode's release. This extended format is born of our belief that knowledge creation is also a collaborative and living endeavour - that meaning is not simply created through the exchange of information but that ideas are formed through open and emergent conversations. In this episode, four guests from diverse backgrounds and practices explore the connections between inclusivity and the philosophy and practice of Living Architecture.

Living Dialogs, Season 2 Episode 1: Listening to Many Voices: Inclusivity and Living Architecture With Behnaz Farahi, Bianca Weeko Martin, Michael Lee Poy, Brian Porter

Today we have a really interesting guest which I'm sure most of you may have definitely heard of in the past. I will give out a few guesses - she is a designer, creative technologist, and critical maker working at the intersection of fashion, architecture, and interactive design. And I quote her in one of her past interviews; "I think the discourse of architecture is already going through a change, we are no longer just designing buildings with column and ceiling, we are designing way more, we are designing experiences, designing products, designing fashion items, so I think architecture as a discipline is already changing." And if you haven't guessed yet, she is Behnaz Farahi! She is trained as an architect and explores how to foster an empathetic relationship between the human body and the space around it, through the implementation of emerging technologies. She follows morphological and behavioral principles which in turn is inspired by natural systems. Her work addresses critical issues such as emotion, bodily perception, and social interaction.In the episode, we talk about everything! And I mean, everything. She runs us through a short description of her childhood. Where she grew up, and why she came to the United States in order to acquire her architecture education. We talk about her degrees, which by the way, she has a Bachelor, two Masters, and most recently a Ph.D.! Amazing, right? Well, we talk about what those degrees mean to her and why she decided to stay in the world of academia. We talk about how she started developing wearables, and what experience pushed her closer to technology. We talk about how she got to work with amazing companies such as Adidas, Autodesk, Fuksas Studio, and Will-i-am, even NASA! And finally, she goes in-depth into her vision for the future of architecture and technology; BUT, more importantly, how to be intentional with technology, and how to use it for the benefit of solving a social problem, instead of for the sake of it. This episode is charged with a lot of positivity, with a lot of motivation and especially a ton of advice for anyone that is looking into the world of technology and architecture. Without saying another word, I would like to introduce you guys to Behnaz Farahi!
