012: Ramune Bartuskaite: Encouraging Architects to Specify Better Materials

On today’s episode of Architectette we welcome Ramune Bartuskaite. Ramune is an Architect and Associate at FIFTEEN Architecture and Design as well as the CEO and founder of Spec Matters - an organization that strives to encourage the building industry to write healthier specifications and make better material selections. (If FIFTEEN sounds familiar, that’s because we interviewed the three female founders of the firm back in May! If you’re interested, check out Episode 009.) We talk about: - Ramune's first generation college experience and her contributions to Rise First which empowers first gen students- Volunteering within architecture and how/why she helped establish PennDesign Women in Architecture- We do a deep dive into Spec Matters and talk about building materials to avoid, which to use more frequently, and how architects and designers can leverage available tools to make healthier, safer spaces for their clients>>>Connect with Ramune:FIFTEEN Architecture and Design: ⁠https://www.xvadesign.com/⁠FIFTEEN's Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/fifteen_xvad/⁠Penn Women in Design: ⁠https://www.design.upenn.edu/penn-women-designBooks Mentioned in the Podcast: Women Rebuild: Stories, Polemics, Futures: ⁠https://bookshop.org/lists/book-links-from-the-architectette-podcastSpec Matters: https://specmatters.com/Healthy Building Network HomeFree Resource: https://homefree.healthybuilding.net/Living Future Red List: https://living-future.org/red-list/WELL AP: https://www.wellcertified.com/well-apLEED AP: https://www.usgbc.org/>>>Connect with Architectette:- Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ www.architectette.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Learn more)- Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @architectette⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (See more)- Newsletter:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ www.architectette.com/newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Behind the Scenes Content)- LinkedIn:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ The Architectette Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Page and/or⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Caitlin Brady⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠>>>Support Architectette by leaving us a rating and review!>>>Music by⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ AlexGrohl⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ from ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pixabay⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.
