WorkAC "Buildings for People and Plants" Lecture & Book Launch

In this lecture, Amale Andraos and Dan Wood, co-founders of the New York–based design firm WORKac, present their recent book, Buildings for People and Plants, and showcase their latest explorations in architecture and community-centric design. They present 10 of the firm’s most recent projects — including the North Boulder Library, the Rhode Island School of Design’s Student Success Center, and the Miami Museum Garage — and share insights into how each project responds to its cultural and environmental context and creates spaces that support both people and plants.
