Architecture is more than just buildings – it’s a powerful lens through which to understand our world. In this episode of the Culture Shifts Podcast, I’m joined by Beatrice Galilee, curator, writer, and founder of The World Around, a global platform spotlighting the most impactful ideas in architecture and design.We explore how architecture can become a vehicle for social and environmental transformation – from telling deeper stories about the spaces we live in, to fostering real-world solutions through interdisciplinary collaboration. Beatrice shares the mission behind The World Around and the Young Climate Prize, which amplifies the voices of young innovators from the Global South.Together, we discuss the role of storytelling in architecture, the importance of solution-based design, and why architecture belongs at the heart of global conversations and not just on the sidelines.Subscribe to the Culture Shifts Podcast on your favorite platform, and follow us on Instagram, LinkedIn, Substack, or visit cultureshifts.net to stay connected.
