Rosannah Harding: The Prodigy Who Never Stopped Building

Rosannah Harding is a New York City architect who started college at 12, entered architecture school at 14, and never really took her foot off the gas.In this episode, she talks about growing up in a big military family, getting homeschooled, testing into college early, and fighting her way into Auburn’s architecture program and later Cooper Union. She walks through working at Diller Scofidio + Renfro on The Shed at Hudson Yards, what it’s like to take a building from model to jobsite, and why most of architecture is disciplined “drudgery” with flashes of payoff.We also get into seeing in 3D, why drawing is still a weapon in a digital world, what it really takes to ship big projects, and how she balances running her own studio with doing hard, interesting work that actually gets built.
