Rebecca Muchow, senior architect and regional manager of Cushing Terrell's Minneapolis office, joins us for this episode to tell us more about the Root District. This neighborhood, home to a 100-plus-year-old farmers market, is looking to build a green, equitable community around food. But it wants to go beyond restaurants and stores and include business incubators, homes, culture, and more. Muchow will explain how the folks involved are using a central story to build awareness and momentum behind their ideas.

Root District with Rebecca Muchow

On Good, Thoughtful Hosts, Sarah Steimer explores the built environment on the notion that a designer’s role is to anticipate the needs of their guests. Join us to dig into the ways in which the built world can influence people’s feelings and experiences — and how. Beyond the traditional requisites of form and function, hear firsthand from architects, engineers, planners, and more on how they imbue designs with health, well-being, user experience, and other modern priorities. Interviews and discussions will include project case studies, profiles of designers, trend reports, and much, much more.
