This week we’re joined by Kevin Alter, from Alter Studio - Texas. 

Kevin is multi award winning architect, professor and an author. 

We discuss Kevin’s creative journey into architecture, the importance of Hubris and the impact that Covid has had on the architecture world.

Plus, how re-joining his 80’s rock band has made Kevin re-evaluate where architects sit in the world and the importance of optimism in architecture as a whole. 

Here's a link to his first album in 25 years: https://therabies.bandcamp.com/album/adderall-girl
