EntreArchitect Podcast with Mark R. LePage EA601: Duo Dickinson - Architecture is Human
Architecture is Human
Architecture is more than just buildings—it’s a reflection of humanity itself. In this episode, architect, writer, and educator Duo Dickinson shares his insights on how architecture shapes our values, communities, and experiences. He discusses the delicate balance between honoring history and pushing design forward, emphasizing the importance of context and connection.
With over 30 years of experience and a deep commitment to pro bono work, Duo offers a unique perspective on architecture’s responsibility to serve people, not just projects. He explores how thoughtful design can transform spaces, revitalize communities, and enhance everyday life. The conversation also delves into his philosophy on fees, the human element in architecture, and the importance of truly listening to clients.
Through real-world examples and decades of expertise, Duo makes the case that great architecture is not just about aesthetics—it’s about understanding people and creating places that resonate with them.
