Louise Bordelon, Chair of the Landscape Architecture Department at the University of Colorado Denver, joins the show to talk about her diverse background and experiences, from growing up in Cape Town, South Africa, to her journey through architecture school and beyond.

Louise explores the unique architectural landscape of South Africa, the challenges of designing for low-cost housing in shanty towns, and the tension between traditional architectural education and real-world design problems. Louise shares insights into her research on the Natchez Trace Parkway and explores the intersection of geography and landscape architecture, particularly focusing on the Mississippi River.
