In this episode of TheSquare, we sit down with Gabriel Oros and Callea McGehee to explore how design shapes both spaces and lives. From their early sparks of inspiration to solving real-world challenges in airports and hospitals, they unpack what it means to design with empathy, intention, and impact. We dive into topics like daylighting, acoustics, the psychology of wayfinding, and how trust - and a bit of self-editing - play into the creative process.

Whether you're in the weeds of a project or reflecting on your architectural legacy, this episode offers insights into the art and soul of thoughtful design.
