Car­ol Ross Bar­ney joined Caitlin Brady on the Archi­tectette pod­cast for a con­ver­sa­tion about pub­lic archi­tec­ture, com­mu­ni­ty engage­ment, lead­er­ship, and the respon­si­bil­i­ty of design. 

“We think about design as a verb, a way to cre­ate some­thing func­tion­al, build­able, eco­nom­i­cal, and beau­ti­ful.” Car­ol Ross Bar­ney, FAIA, Design Prin­ci­pal and Founder, Ross Bar­ney Architects

Caitlin frames Carol’s work around a pow­er­ful idea: great design is a basic respon­si­bil­i­ty, not a luxury.

Carol’s episode joins an inspir­ing line­up of can­did con­ver­sa­tions with women shap­ing archi­tec­ture, engi­neer­ing, design, and con­struc­tion, shar­ing their expe­ri­ences with men­tor­ship, lead­er­ship, sus­tain­abil­i­ty, prac­tice, and the many paths a design career can take.

Lis­ten to Episode 087, Car­ol Ross Bar­ney: Design Excel­lence and Com­mu­ni­ty Engage­ment in Pub­lic Archi­tec­ture.
