Minneapolis-Centric Design and Designers

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.

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.

Interviews and discussions will include project case studies, profiles of designers, trend reports, and much, much more.
