Catalyst Podcast E1:
Critters as Catalyst
In this episode, we are looking at Critters as Catalysts for design and engineering. We are speaking with engineer Peter Standen from Partridge and architect Stuart Harrison from Harrison and White to discuss how engineering and design can help to take care of our more than human friends.
When we think about design and architecture, we typically think about designing for people but what does it take to design for animals? What does it take to get a frog in the mood for romance? How do you move pregnant elephants safely and securely from A to B? And how can design help to rehabilitate raptors?
