Your friend and who you introduced me to not too long ago, Neri Oxman, what she's doing at the intersection of biology and technology. And thinking about how to create more sustainable development practices. Quite literally trying to create materials that will biodegrade back into the earth. I think there's something really cool happening now with the rediscovery of ancient building techniques.

So you have self-healing concrete that was used by the Romans. An art and a practice of using volcanic ash and lime... That's now being rediscovered and is more critical than ever as we think about how much of our infrastructure relies on concrete and how much of that is failing on the most basic level. So I think actually it's a really, really exciting time for innovation in architecture.

And I think there are some incredible examples of that. modern design that are really exciting. But generally, I think Roosevelt said that comparison is the thief of joy. So it's hard. You know, you look at the Tribune building, you look at some of these iconic structures. One of the buildings I'm most proud to have worked on was the historic old post office building in Washington, D.C.

You look at a building like that and it feels like it has no equal. Yeah.

Always. It's like the history of time.

I'm most emotionally drawn, obviously, to the beauty, but... I think as somebody who's built things, I really believe that the form has to follow the function. Like there's nothing uglier than a space that is ill-conceived that, you know, otherwise it's decoration. And I think that after sort of that initial reaction to seeing something that's

Aesthetically really pleasing to me when I look at a building or a project. I love sort of thinking about how it's being used. So having been able to build so many things in my career and worked on so many incredible projects, I mean, it's really, really rewarding after the fact to have somebody come up to you and tell you that they got engaged in something.

lobby of your building or they got married in the ballroom and share with you some of those experiences. So to me, that's equally as beautiful, the use cases for these unbelievable projects. But I think it's all of it. I love
