    Architectural design as a potent means of cultural expression is an essential economic, social, technological and communication tool in any sophisticated society. This conversation will explore the role architecture and design plays in contemporary culture. What are the factors that influence architectural design, as well as the means by which architecture helps shape attitudes and behavior? It is Larry’s mission to bring awareness to the importance of the physical environment and to encourage everyone to be activists in helping to shape the built world.
