The Side View Podcast with Susan Ingham and Chris Andrews

Adam Robbert of The Side View interviews Building Beauty co-founders Susan Ingham and Christopher Robin Andrews about their experiences as students with Christopher Alexander, and as faculty with the Building Beauty program.

Susan is a licensed architect practicing in Seattle, Washington. Her firm, KASA Architecture, was founded in 2004 and specializes in residential design. The main focus of her work is to try to create environments with beauty where each building site is improved, and her clients can feel a deep sense of belonging in their homes. Susan obtained both her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in architecture from the University of California, Berkeley, where she studied and worked intensively with Christopher Alexander and his colleagues.

Chris is a licensed architect in the State of California. He serves on Oakland's Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board, and is an adjunct instructor at the University of San Francisco's Architecture & Community Design Program as well as a founding member of the Building Beauty faculty. With over 25 years of experience as an architect and urban designer, he brings an understanding of sustainable and culturally competent practice to the full range of environmental design, from the design of carpets and furniture, and architecture at all levels of scale, with a special focus on historic preservation and town planning.
