Columbia GSAPP’s new weekly podcast series Constructing Practice traces the narratives of young firms from around the globe, all established within the past 10 years. Beginning with the firms who participated in the Constructing Practice symposium at Columbia GSAPP in November 2017, the series expands the conversation to include many others to tell us how they do what they do, and the challenges they face in establishing their own architecture offices. Constructing Practice is hosted by Juan Herreros, Professor at Columbia GSAPP and principal of Estudio Herreros in Madrid.
