In this episode, Dimitrius speaks with Drew Small, founder of No New Data Centers, a grassroots platform challenging a proposed data center near his Nashville home and the Nashville Zoo.
They examine the enormous energy, water, land, and infrastructure demands of modern data centers, along with concerns about pollution, heat, noise, flooding, and development in working-class, immigrant, and historically Black communities.
Drew also explains how tax incentives, utility interests, and weak local regulations are accelerating construction—often before communities fully understand what is being proposed.
But this is also a conversation about people power. Drew shares how concerned residents turned a local development fight into a growing movement and why zoning, public participation, and collective attention may be the strongest tools communities have to demand more responsible development.
A timely conversation about technology, environmental justice, corporate influence, and the power of ordinary people to shape the places they call home.

In this episode of SPACES, Dimitrius explains that while not every project requires an architect, the right time to bring one in is often much earlier than most people think.
He explores why architecture can be difficult to value upfront, why drawings are often misunderstood as a simple commodity, and how the real value of an architect is revealed through clarity, coordination, risk reduction, and a more guided process.
Through examples involving wall removals, additions, ADUs, commercial spaces, and unpermitted work, this episode highlights the hidden complexity behind projects that may seem simple on the surface.
In this episode:
- Why “I just need plans” can be a costly assumption
- When cosmetic work becomes architectural complexity
- How removing a wall can create structural and financial risk
- Why additions and ADUs require more planning than many owners expect
- How architects help make the process feel easier and less stressful
- Why clients often appreciate the value of architectural services most after the project is complete

In this episode of SPACES, architect Todd Ferking returns to the show to discuss the future of learning environments. He shares his decision to leave a national leadership role at DLR Group and launch Arcis Studio, a consultancy focused on helping school districts and design teams establish the vision, educational strategy, and planning foundations that lead to more meaningful learning environments.
We revisit his work on Compton High School and Centennial High School, including the challenge of creating innovative educational facilities within California’s exceptionally high construction costs. Todd also explains how program visibility, interdisciplinary connections, smaller learning communities, and stronger relationships between students and adults can influence learning and school safety.
We also look ahead to the impact of artificial intelligence on education and the built environment. If students can increasingly receive personalized instruction through digital tools, should schools continue dedicating most of their space to traditional classrooms? Or could the schools of the future become application hubs—places where students gather to experiment, build, collaborate, socialize, and put knowledge into practice?
In this episode:
- Why Todd launched Arcis Studio after 25 years with DLR Group
- The importance of establishing educational vision before design begins
- Lessons from the planning and design of Compton and Centennial High Schools
- Designing flexible, visible, and interdisciplinary learning environments
- Why California schools must accomplish more with less space
- Creating stronger connections between career technical education and core academics
- Approaching school safety through relationships, scale, and layered security
- How AI could transform teaching, learning, and educational facilities
- Reimagining schools as hubs for application, creation, and collaboration

In this episode of SPACES, Dimitrius breaks down the important differences between architects, designers, and drafters — and why choosing the right type of help early can have a major impact on your budget, permitting, construction process, and overall project success.
While each role can bring value, they are not interchangeable.
The key question is not simply, “Who can draw this?”
The better question is: What does this project actually require?
In this episode:
- The difference between architects, designers, and drafters
- Where designers can add significant value
- What drafters typically provide
- Why removing a wall can trigger structural, electrical, permitting, and budget considerations
- How project complexity should determine your team
- Why the cheapest path upfront is not always the least expensive path overall
- What questions to ask before hiring someone to prepare drawings
Once you understand the scope, risks, systems, and approvals involved, it becomes much easier to assemble the right team.

In this episode of SPACES, Dimitrius speaks with Andrew Goodwin, AIA, founder of AGD, about the evolving role of the architect in a profession being reshaped by technology, entrepreneurship, education, and social responsibility.
Andrew shares how his career has moved between traditional practice, public interest design, teaching, publishing, nonprofit work, and firm leadership—and why he believes architects can no longer rely on outdated definitions of the profession. Instead of returning to the old idea of the “master builder,” Andrew makes the case for the architect as a master entrepreneur, advocate, communicator, educator, and citizen leader.
The conversation explores how liability narrowed the role of architects, how design-build and integrated delivery may be shifting it again, and how AI is forcing schools and firms to rethink what future architects actually need to learn. Andrew also discusses building AGD around purpose, innovation, remote flexibility, community engagement, and a commitment to doing good first.
It’s a conversation about architecture as a practice, but also as a platform—for storytelling, leadership, service, advocacy, and impact.
In this episode:
- Why the architect’s role needs to expand beyond traditional services
- How AI may reshape architectural education and early-career practice
- What students should understand about entrepreneurship and business
- How storytelling and communication help clients understand design
- Why purpose, innovation, and social impact are central to AGD’s work
- How architects can define their own path instead of inheriting an outdated one

In this episode of SPACES, Dimitrius examines one of the most overlooked parts of any construction project: soft costs.
He highlights what the total project budget should include and explores why soft costs are not “extras” — they are the services and approvals that make a project buildable, coordinated, and legally permitted.
For owners, understanding these costs early can help prevent financial stress, delays, and costly surprises later.
In this episode:
- Why construction cost is only one part of your total project budget
- What soft costs are and why they matter
- Why architecture is more than “drawing plans”
- When engineering becomes necessary
- Why permits and plan check fees vary so widely
- How Title 24 energy compliance affects California projects
- When surveys, soils reports, and specialty consultants may be required
- Why contingency should be included and tracked separately
- How better planning reduces risk before construction begins
If your budget only includes construction, it is not your real project budget. A realistic project budget should account for construction, soft costs, and contingency.

In this episode of SPACES, Dimitrius sits down with Colby Cox, founder and CEO of Convergence Communities, to explore how the built environment can either isolate us or help bring us back together.
Colby has spent more than two decades developing mixed-use, master-planned communities rooted in human connection, wellbeing, and intentional living. For him, development is not just about what pencils out on a pro forma. It is about legacy: how a place feels 50 or 100 years from now, how it supports the people who live there, and whether it helps create a true sense of belonging.
Through projects like The Granary in Milton, Delaware, Colby is challenging the conventional suburban model by rethinking porches, lot sizes, shared green space, public amenities, programming, and community gathering places. His goal is not simply to build houses, but to create places that gently pull people out of isolation and into relationship with their neighbors, their town, nature, and themselves.
The conversation explores why many modern neighborhoods fail to foster connection, how fear and liability often shape development decisions, and why the return on investment in real estate should include more than dollars and cents. Colby also shares how his team is experimenting with ideas like a brewery incubator, meditation gardens, shared living models, and community-serving amenities designed to invite the surrounding town in—not wall residents off from it.
This is a conversation about development, loneliness, legacy, and the role of design in rebuilding social connection.

In this episode of SPACES, Dimitrius speaks with Michael Bohn, AIA, Partner at Studio One Eleven, about the growing opportunity to convert underused office buildings into housing. As office vacancy rates remain elevated in many cities and communities continue to face severe housing shortages, adaptive reuse offers a powerful path forward—one that can reduce waste, lower embodied carbon, preserve community character, and bring new life to struggling urban districts.
Michael brings more than 35 years of architectural experience and leads Studio One Eleven’s affordable, modular, and adaptive reuse work. His projects span transit-oriented development, urban infill, mixed-use communities, and office-to-housing conversions across Southern California.
Together, Dimitrius and Michael discuss why office-to-housing conversion is about more than filling empty buildings. They explore the practical challenges of changing a building’s use, including floor plate depth, natural light, plumbing, structural upgrades, leases, façades, mechanical systems, and construction surprises. Michael also explains why adaptive reuse ordinances are essential for cities that want to make these projects viable.

In this episode of SPACES, Dimitrius highlights how one of the biggest mistakes owners make happens before they hire a contractor, define a budget, or submit plans: they don’t fully understand what kind of project they’re actually taking on. And that misunderstanding can dramatically impact cost, timeline, permitting, engineering, and overall project complexity.
He breaks down the critical differences between:
- Renovations
- Remodels
- Additions
- ADUs
- Rebuilds
…and explains why these categories are not interchangeable.
Drawing from more than 20 years of experience, Dimitrius walks through the hidden structural, seismic, permitting, and systems implications that owners often overlook—especially when projects move beyond cosmetic updates into layout changes, structural modifications, or additions.
If you’re planning a kitchen remodel, addition, ADU, or small commercial tenant improvement in Southern California, this episode provides foundational clarity before you begin spending money or hiring a team.

In this powerful season finale of Built to Divide, Dimitrius Lynch dismantles the myths that have kept America’s housing crisis misunderstood for decades. Drawing from personal experience, economic history, and policy analysis, the episode reveals how housing transformed from shelter into one of the most powerful vehicles for wealth extraction in modern society.
From restrictive zoning and financial deregulation to labor shifts, political incentives, and the collapse of social infrastructure, Lynch exposes the deeper machinery driving unaffordability — and why tidy explanations often distract from systemic truths.
But this is not an episode about despair.
It is about agency.
Listeners are guided toward a practical path forward: legalizing more housing where opportunity exists, redesigning communities for connection rather than isolation, stabilizing vulnerable households, and reshaping financial incentives so that housing builds security instead of fragility.
At its core, the episode asks a defining question for the next generation:
Will we continue treating housing as a competitive asset — or reclaim it as the foundation of human stability?
Because the future of our cities isn’t predetermined.
It is designed.
And as Lynch reminds us — we’re not done building.

What if the future of America doesn’t resemble a democracy — but a modern form of feudalism?
In this gripping episode of Built to Divide, Dimitrius Lynch traces a chilling throughline from 19th-century “other-ism” to the emerging architecture of concentrated power shaping today’s housing markets, financial systems, and governance models.
Beginning with the displacement of Chinese and Japanese laborers and the weaponization of fear for economic gain, the episode reveals how crisis has repeatedly been used to reorganize ownership — transferring land, wealth, and opportunity upward.
Then the lens shifts to the present.
Faith merges with policy. Technology challenges democracy. Capital consolidates control.
From Project 2025 and the modern Religious Right… to technocratic visions backed by Silicon Valley billionaires… to privately governed cities, crypto-finance ecosystems, and institutional ownership of housing — a new hierarchy begins to take shape.
This isn’t about conspiracy. It’s about alignment.
As financial power grows increasingly intertwined with political influence, the episode asks a sobering question:
Are we witnessing the quiet construction of Feudalism 2.0 — a system where stability is privatized and dependence becomes structural?
If housing is the operating system of economic security, what happens when ownership concentrates and access becomes subscription-based?
Listen now to understand the forces redrawing the boundaries of belonging — and why the future of housing may depend on whether we recognize the machine before it fully locks into place.

In this episode of Built to Divide, Dimitrius Lynch traces how crisis becomes opportunity — not for everyone, but for those positioned to acquire when others are forced to let go.
From psychological influence campaigns and the weaponization of belief to pandemic-era wealth acceleration, this episode reveals how instability reshapes ownership itself. Lynch connects redlining to modern rent burdens, shows how algorithmic pricing may be rewriting competition, and examines how disasters — from COVID-19 to California wildfires — can trigger generational wealth transfers.
You’ll hear how institutional investors, lobbying power, and financialization collide with housing supply constraints, why innovation alone cannot solve affordability, and how narratives shape public policy long before laws are written.
This is not simply a story about housing. It is a story about power. About who gets to own the future — and who keeps paying for it.
If you want to understand why the wealth gap widens after every crisis, why housing increasingly behaves like a financial instrument, and how division itself becomes strategy, this is an episode you cannot afford to miss.

In this episode of Built to Divide we dissect the collision of NIMBY politics, Proposition 13 in California, environmental law, rising construction costs, and cultural status signaling that defined housing in the 2010s.
Dimitrius Lynch takes listeners inside the community meeting rooms where projects die quietly, tracing how California’s tax revolt rewired local incentives, how CEQA evolved from environmental shield to procedural weapon, and why housing scarcity became fiscally rational—even when socially destructive.
This episode connects Thorstein Veblen’s leisure class theory to modern zoning fights, explains why new construction skews luxury, and reveals how amenities became financial risk mitigation tools, not indulgences.
From Hudson Yards and empty towers as safety-deposit boxes to YIMBY vs. NIMBY power shifts, this episode shows why the middle disappeared from the housing market—and why scarcity today is a policy choice, not a mystery.

In this episode of Built to Divide, we pick up where the post-2008 housing machine left off—and show how the subscription economy (SaaS, streaming, “pay forever”) migrated into the built environment.
Dimitrius Lynch traces the privatization movement from Milton Friedman’s voucher logic and post–Brown v. Board backlash to modern power brokers like ALEC, corporate bill-writing, and the quiet reframing of citizens into customers.
Then we explore build-to-rent communities engineered for “predictable cash flow,” housing-as-a-dashboard, and the rise of rentier capitalism—profits from controlling gates, not creating value. The episode connects BlackRock’s infrastructure thesis and Aladdin risk platform, the 2008 recovery pipeline, and the long continuity from Bretton Woods → financialization → asset management dominance.
Finally, we widen the lens to the next frontier: farmland financialization, where ownership detaches from stewardship and the right to live—and farm—becomes something you lease back.

October 13, 2008: behind closed doors in Washington, the U.S. government forces Wall Street’s biggest banks to take rescue money—no opt-outs, no stigma, no time for debate. What follows isn’t just a bailout. It’s a quiet rewrite of capitalism: stabilize the banks first, let homeowners and workers fight for air.
Dimitrius Lynch traces how the TARP bailout, near-zero interest rates, and weak homeowner relief accelerated a new housing order—one where asset prices recover faster than wages, and where homes shift from shelter to portfolio. As the National Association of Realtors pushes demand-side subsidies like the $8,000 first-time homebuyer tax credit, foreclosure prevention tools like principal reduction are resisted—protecting values over people.
Then comes the next extraction layer: Airbnb’s normalization of housing as income strategy, followed by private equity and corporate landlords turning foreclosed homes into rentals at scale. Blackstone and Invitation Homes pioneer the machine—buy in bulk, rent to the displaced, then bundle single-family rentals into securities. Meanwhile, policy capture tightens: carried interest survives, lobbying culture “owns” offices, and Citizens United floods politics with corporate money—reshaping who writes the rules of housing, finance, and democracy itself.
This episode is a documentary-style timeline of how the middle class gets eaten—not by accident, but by incentives, institutions, and a politics increasingly engineered for capital. The crash wasn’t the end. It was a blueprint for a new future and purpose for housing.

What do a 1970 psychology experiment and the 2008 housing crash have in common? In Episode 6 of Built to Divide, Dimitrius Lynch traces how social identity theory—the instinct to form “us vs. them” groups—became a political weapon that helped sell a bipartisan push for mass homeownership, weaken skepticism, and pave the way for subprime mortgages, mortgage-backed securities (MBS), CDOs, and a crisis engineered by incentives.
We move from NAFTA-era globalization and Peter Drucker’s “core competencies” mindset, to the dot-com bust, Fed rate cuts, and the explosion of “stated income” lending. The episode spotlights Washington Mutual (WaMu)—from community-friendly bank to shareholder-driven mortgage machine—then follows the collapse, the scapegoating of low-income borrowers, and the rise of institutional investors turning foreclosures into portfolios. A story about housing, finance, and the narratives that keep us divided—even when the math says we share the same stakes.

In August 1971, Richard Nixon went on television and detonated the global financial system. By severing the U.S. dollar from gold, the Nixon Shock ended Bretton Woods, ushered in fiat money, and unleashed a new era of credit, speculation, and inequality. What followed wasn’t just inflation and currency volatility—it was a fundamental rewiring of housing, wealth, and power.
In this episode of Built to Divide, Dimitrius Lynch traces how the end of the gold standard collided with housing policy, stagflation, and a rising market-first ideology. As public housing construction collapsed, Section 8 vouchers expanded, the mortgage interest deduction quietly became America’s largest housing subsidy, and real estate lobbying reshaped Washington. Jimmy Carter framed housing as a moral obligation—but crisis, inflation, and backlash undercut reform. Then came Milton Friedman, Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan, and the think-tank machine, turning deregulation, tax cuts, and privatization into governing doctrine.
The result? Housing shifted from shelter to leverage. Neighborhoods hardened. Inequality accelerated. McMansions replaced porches. Master-planned enclaves rose as public responsibility retreated. And the rails were laid for subprime lending, securitization, and collapse.
This is the episode where money floats, housing fractures, and the modern economy takes its irreversible turn.

In the summer heat of Birmingham, children faced police dogs and fire hoses. On a bus in Montgomery, a 15-year-old refused to stand. From Claudette Colvin to Rosa Parks, from Greensboro counters to the March on Washington—the Civil Rights Movement shook America awake. Yet, even as laws changed, maps and mortgages quietly redrew the lines of belonging.
In this episode of Built to Divide, Dimitrius Lynch tracks what happened after the marches. The Civil Rights Act outlawed discrimination, but zoning boards found new tools to enforce it. Highways tore through Black neighborhoods in San Francisco and Detroit. Urban renewal became “Negro removal.” Birmingham forced the country to look. Kennedy named it a moral crisis. Johnson created HUD, appointing Robert C. Weaver, the first Black cabinet secretary. Then came the pivot—Section 235, 236, vouchers, block grants, Pruitt-Igoe, Moses vs. Jacobs, Nixon’s New Federalism, and a shift from building homes to subsidizing rent.
This is the story of how a movement won rights—but lost ground in planning rooms, mortgage offices, and zoning maps. How public housing gave way to vouchers. How the market replaced the public builder. And how America traded homes as social infrastructure for housing as financial asset.
If you want to understand why affordability collapsed, why public housing withered, why vouchers fall short, and how modern inequality took shape—Episode 4 shows the pivot point.

What happens when the machinery of war is turned loose on the home front? In this episode of Built to Divide, host Dimitrius Lynch traces how the end of World War II, the GI Bill, and federal housing policy combined to build the largest middle-class expansion in U.S. history—while quietly deepening racial and economic division.
Beginning with the surrender in Tokyo Bay and the massive demobilization of Operation Magic Carpet, Lynch follows millions of returning veterans back to a country racing to answer a simple question: Where will they all live? The answer reshaped the nation. FHA and VA loans, the rise of Fannie Mae, and the secondary mortgage market drove homeownership from 43% to nearly 62% by 1960, cementing the single-family house as the centerpiece of the American Dream.
But this “great reset” came with a price. Lynch unpacks how zoning laws, redlining, racial covenants, and underwriting standards drew hard lines around who could belong in postwar suburbia. He contrasts the inclusive vision of Case Study Houses and Eichler Homes with the mass-produced segregation of Levittown, where black families were explicitly barred and violence met the first to cross the color line.
From John Dean’s warning about homeownership “booby traps” to the weaponization of media by business elites like Henry Regnery, this episode reveals how corporate interests used patriotism, racial fear, and Cold War anxiety to roll back New Deal gains and reframe government as the enemy. Along the way, Lynch explores how Fannie Mae’s privatization, the birth of American Express credit cards, and the cultural glorification of the nuclear family turned housing into a speculative asset, a consumption engine, and a source of isolation.
We end in Roseto, Pennsylvania, where a community’s disappearing social bonds literally changed its heart attack rates—proof that how we house ourselves shapes how we live, connect, and survive.
If you want to understand how postwar housing policy, suburbanization, zoning, media, and finance fused into a system that still determines who gets stability and who gets left behind, this episode shows how the board was reset—and who it was reset for.

At the dawn of the 20th century, American finance looked modern—telegraphs, syndicates, Wall Street empires—but it had no brakes. In this episode of Built to Divide, host Dimitrius Lynch follows the chain reaction from the Panic of 1907 to the creation of the Federal Reserve, revealing how crises, central banking, and policy choices concentrated power at the top and quietly reshaped who gets to own a home in America.
We move from J.P. Morgan locking bankers in his library to stabilize markets, to the secret Jekyll Island meeting that birthed the blueprint for the Fed, to a global financial order built on austerity, gold, and central banks. Lynch unpacks how this shift—from robber barons to central bankers—centralized control over money and credit, setting the stage for a financial system that could either stabilize the economy or supercharge inequality.
In parallel, the episode traces a second, brutal story: the clash between slave labor and wage labor, the Civil War, broken promises like Special Field Orders No. 15, Reconstruction, the 13th and 14th Amendments, and the massive land giveaways of the Homestead and Railway Acts that seeded a two-track wealth system. That system was later hardened by Black Codes, Jim Crow, and the rise of the National Association of Realtors, whose restrictive covenants and ethics codes turned racism and class exclusion into standard practice.
As Lynch connects the Roaring Twenties, the Great Depression, Hoover’s homeownership gospel, and New Deal housing programs—HOLC, FHA, Fannie Mae—listeners see how federal support for mortgages expanded opportunity for some while redlining, racial covenants, and “good neighborhood” ideology locked others out. Housing was transformed into a mass wealth engine built on division.
This episode is a deep dive into how central banking, war finance, slavery, segregation, real estate professionalization, and federal housing policy fused into a system where housing isn’t just shelter or asset—it’s a sorting mechanism. If you want to understand why today’s housing market feels rigged, this chapter shows how the rig was built.

Why does housing in America feel so unattainable—and why does it seem designed that way? In this sweeping opening chapter of Built to Divide, host Dimitrius Lynch traces the origins of today’s housing affordability crisis back more than 100,000 years, revealing how our primal instincts around territory, ownership, and status have been shaped—and exploited—over millennia.
From the campfire rituals of early humans to feudal Europe’s enclosures, from the rise of divine kingship to the first mortgage systems, and from the U.S. labor movement to the FHA’s propaganda-style push for suburban homeownership, this episode exposes how housing evolved from a shared human necessity to a powerful engine of inequality.
Lynch weaves anthropology, architecture, public health data, urban history, and political economy into a gripping narrative that shows how today’s housing insecurity, record-high rents, soaring home prices, and widening inequality were not an accident. They were engineered—over centuries—through policies, incentives, and cultural stories built to divide us.
Listeners will learn how the built environment reflects our deepest psychological wiring, how financialization transformed shelter into a commodity, how zoning and mortgages reshaped American life, and why housing policy is inseparable from health, safety, democracy, and collective well-being.
This cinematic episode sets the foundation for the entire series, revealing a simple but radical truth: the world we live in was designed—and can be redesigned.

Built to Divide is a cinematic audio documentary that unearths how America’s homes became the front lines of inequality. From land giveaways to red lines, gated communities to algorithmic rent hikes—each episode reveals the forces that shaped not only where we live, but who gets to belong.
Guided by host Dimitrius Lynch Jr., an award-winning architect with a storyteller’s eye for systems and design, this series traces how policy, psychology, and profit converged to build division into the very architecture of everyday life. Through vivid historical narratives, archival sound, and modern parallels, Built to Divide exposes how the dream of homeownership became both symbol and weapon—binding generations to debt, geography, and identity.
Across twelve episodes, listeners journey from the dawn of land speculation to today’s algorithmic landlords, uncovering how the built environment reflects our deepest social divides—and what it will take to design something better.

Dena discusses navigating complex regulatory environments, the pivotal role architects play in waterfront projects, and how the pressing challenges of climate change and rising sea levels are shaping the future of design. We also dive into the process of drafting adaptable regulations, and how sustainable, resilient design will be key in facing environmental challenges head-on.

Tomas Osinski, artist, architect, and industrial designer joins us to discuss the Invisible House in Joshua Tree, a 5500 square foot, 4 bed and 4 bath privately owned home that is available for rent for filming, photography, intimate events, and larger outdoor experiences.
The home is designed as one long, continuous, narrow space with a 100-foot-long interior pool as its centerpiece. Intended to appear as it has lightly landed in this moonscape, minimally disturbing the site, the structure is built on a series of reinforced concrete pillars and appears to float. The name Invisible House comes from the mirrored tempered glass that wraps the entire façade and reflects the surrounding environment, almost disappearing amongst the desert rocks and shrubs.
We discuss several aspects of the design in this episode – the inspiration, process, design considerations for the high desert environment, and hidden elements like structural, mechanical, and utilities for the home, and much more!

From pre-design to the turn over of keys, you'll hear about all the nuances of designing and building this bakery. We discuss Southern Girl Desserts backstory, complexities of designing a tenant improvement, a unique design configuration called a "ghost kitchen," the challenges of construction, and more!
Ricardo Meza, Development Associate at Asana Partners, who at the time was the Project manager at Primestor shares his insights from the perspective of the property manager.
Leandro Tyberg, President and Co-founder of Primestor, explains Primestor's approach to development including their community-centric approach to design, finding tenants, and employees.
Founded in 2007, Southern Girl Desserts is co-owned by Catarah Coleman and Shoneji Robison, who combined their family recipes to create a Southern cupcake and dessert arsenal. The women pride themselves on their time-honored recipes, learned through many years of home-cooking. Most recipes are family-inspired, but plenty flavor combinations are dreamed up by the Dessert Divas themselves. Coleman and Robison received national recognition when they competed on and won Food Network’s “Cupcake Wars.” The women were bestowed with a $10,000 prize and the opportunity to cater the Chicago Toy and Game Fair, a black-tie gala. The women are also featured for their celebrity dessert catering on E! Networks’s “L.A. Sugar," and recently introduced nationwide shipping.

In today’s episode we explore the evolution and design of Libraries with Maria Lopez Calleja, architect and Senior Associate at https://www.mvrdv.nl/ (MVRDV). As a design team leader for the firm, Maria will provide unique insight as we also highlight the https://mvrdv.com/projects/246/tianjin-binhai-library (Tianjin Binhai Library) in Tianjin, China, designed by MVRDV and Tianjin Urban Planning and Design Institute.
