In the third episode of season three, previous guest, Mary Miss, speaks with architect, Jeanne Gang. In sharing their mutual admiration for each other’s practices, their conversation touched on social-ecological frameworks, the female gaze, and the nuances of involving community in their projects. 

Throughout their conversation, the natural parallels between art and architecture begin to emerge. With both practices rooted in public environments, they exchange different approaches to sustained engagement with community members as co-creators. Mary shares her experiences working on the temporary memorial at Ground Zero, a process she describes as “turning voyeurs into mourners”. Jeanne speaks on her youth leadership program in collaboration with SCAPE for their project at Tom Lee park in Memphis, TN. Together they share a collaborative passion for addressing complex societal issues through their practices.
