In this episode of the Blueprints to Buildings podcast, host Glen Palmer speaks with architectural and urban designer Oriana Fernandez, who works with DB3 Group and has over 16 years of international experience across London and India. Oriana shares insights on designing at both building and neighborhood scale, the cultural differences that shape architecture, and how regulation, safety, and accountability are transforming the profession after the Building Safety Act. The conversation also explores the future of architecture from mentoring the next generation to navigating AI, visualisation technology, and the evolving role architects play in shaping resilient and inclusive cities.   And to find out more about our industry changing metaverse technology, send me a direct message on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/glen-palmer-online/
