Whos Who in the Zoo: Recent Episodes
Robert
Welcome to the “Who’s Who in the Zoo” construction podcast. My name is Rob Lord; a building design consultant. I fervently believe we design & build better when we have empathy with other stakeholders in the process - the architects, the engineers, the leasing agents etc. Each fortnight, you’ll hear fascinating interviews with people in different roles in the ecology of the construction industry. You will benefit from them describing what their job entails, how your role can intersect with theirs and what challenges they face at the moment. I hope this leads to actionable tips and strategies that you can implement in your developing professional life, to become a more effective designer. Thanks for spending some time with me, now let’s jump into the next episode of practical training.
