We're talking about the design of public spaces. Our guest this week--Xavier Vendrell--has shown and proven his prowess on the very subject. Working currently as a professor for Auburn University's renown rural studio, Xavier spends time walking us through both his story and his inspiration. For anyone interested in urban design--this is a perfect primer.
