The Regenerative Movement

Sarah Susanka is an architect, prolific author, and visionary thinker credited with starting the tiny house movement. She’s changed the way huge amounts of people see the world, but she insists the way to create change is by thinking small and attending to the everyday challenges you see in front of you. 

I talked to Sarah with a co-host, returning podcast guest Ross Chaplin—creator of “pocket neighborhoods.” This was an incredible opportunity to speak with two highly influential figures in architecture and design who both see their work as being in service to humanity and wellbeing. We spoke about how they were both deeply influenced by the work of Christopher Alexander and his book A Pattern Language, the importance of building with love, the authenticity of designing for human well-being, and how to create change that truly shifts culture.
