Description

In this episode of Architecturally Speaking, host Ryan Schwartz welcomes Ossie Airewele, Senior Associate at BDP Quadrangle, to explore the vital role of socially responsible and inclusive design.

Did you know these two concepts, while closely connected, serve distinct purposes? Ossie explains how socially responsible design emphasizes well-being and quality of life, while inclusive design extends this vision by ensuring spaces reflect and respect the needs of people from diverse cultural and social backgrounds.

With extensive experience leading high-rise residential and mixed-use projects across North America, Ossie brings both expertise and perspective to the conversation. Tune in for an inspiring discussion on how architecture can shape environments that make a meaningful difference in people’s everyday lives.
