DESIGN:ED Podcast: Louis T. Lemay & Dan Kaplan
Architects Louis T. Lemay and Dan Kaplan join Architectural Record’s DESIGN:ED Podcast to discuss the recent partnership of Canada’s Lemay and New York–based FXCollaborative, the two firms’ unified approach to urban development, and their view of the future of design and architecture.
“The biggest thing we can do as architects from a carbon reduction point of view is make cities—and the system of cities—compete with the convenience, the draw, and the dream of the suburban vision. And to do that, you need great transit systems, an amazing public realm, and buildings that are wonderful and high performing. And that’s really what the package is for sustainable city-building. And that’s why Lemay and FX are joining forces—that’s what we’re built to do and how we think. That’s our combined ethos.”
– Dan Kaplan, senior partner, FXCollaborative
Hosted by Austin, Texas–based architect Aaron Prinz, Architectural Record’s DESIGN:ED podcast has featured the most renowned architects of our time—such as Art Gensler, Kengo Kuma, and Glenn Murcutt, as well as rising professionals in the next generation, such as Pascale Sablan, Michael Murphy, and Jenny Wu, all available in our library.
