For the past three years Metropolis’s director of design innovation, Susan S. Szenasy, has been leading Think Tank, a series of discussions with industry leaders on important issues surrounding human-centered design. On February 8th, 2017, in San Francisco, she discussed the role of the architect as a community builder in service to organizations, employees, and citizens. The panel was hosted by the architecture firm Bohlin Cywinski Jackson. Panelists discussed their roles in the Newport Beach Civic Center and Square’s San Francisco Headquarters projects. What follows is an edited transcript of the conversation, prepared by M. Nacamulli.
