The Architecture of Place: In Conversation with Galina Tachieva

The ICAA, INTBAU, and the Prince’s Foundation are pleased to continue their collaboration with The Architecture of Place: In Conversation with..., a new series of interviews featuring three architects from different backgrounds and points of view: Marianne Cusato, Ben Bolgar, and Galina Tachieva. Over the three-part series, each speaker plays the role of both interviewer and interviewee. In each installment, one of the three architects interviews another about the influences, experiences, and projects that have led to their design perspective on the architecture of place. At the end of each session, students from partnering university departments pose additional questions to the speakers, followed by an open Q&A with attendees. The ICAA is excited to partner with the Kingston School of Art Department of Architecture and Landscape for this interview. Students from Kingston make a special appearance and provide guest questions for the interviewee.

Galina Tachieva is an expert in sustainable planning, urban redevelopment and form-based codes. As a managing partner at DPZ CoDESIGN, Galina directs the design and implementation of projects in the US and around the world. She is the author of the Sprawl Repair Manual, an award-winning publication, which focuses on the retrofit of auto-centric suburban places into complete, walkable communities. Galina is a Fellow of the Congress for the New Urbanism (CNU) and a founding member of the Council for European Urbanism (CEU). She led the CNU Sprawl Retrofit initiative for many years.
