You’ve spent your whole life feeling like something’s wrong with you. Here’s a radical thought: what if you’re not broken - just different? Welcome to Different, Not Broken, the no-filter, emotionally intelligent, occasionally sweary podcast that challenges the idea that we all have to fit inside neat little boxes to be acceptable. Hosted by L2 (aka Lauren Howard), founder of LBee Health, this show dives into the real, raw and ridiculous sides of being neurodivergent, introverted, chronically underestimated - and still completely worthy. Expect deeply honest conversations about identity, autism, ADHD, gender, work, grief, anxiety and everything in between. There’ll be tears, dead dad jokes, side quests, and a whole lot of swearing. Whether you're neurodivergent, neurotypical, or just human and tired of pretending to be someone you’re not, this space is for you. Come for the chaos. Stay for the catharsis. Linger for the dead Dad jokes.

I’m bringing you a set of mini-stories that were taped live at the AWA 100th Building Our Legacy event on September 10, 2022 at the HenryBuilt showroom in LA’s art district. This event not only celebrated AWA+D’s 100 year anniversary, but also focused on how we can preserve the legacies of women in architecture—especially our own legacies. As we know, too often women’s work was historically unrecognized, erased, and forgotten, and we lose so much by not being able to access this information. We can’t keep repeating this mistake! For example, Christina Morris from the National Trust for Historic Preservation gave a presentation on Where Women Made History , an effort to bring more recognition and respect to women’s achievements. One of the projects she highlighted was Azurest South, the home of Amaza Lee Meredith , significant as it was designed by a black queer woman architect for her and her partner Dr. Edna Meade Colson. I didn’t know about Amaza Lee Meredith, but I feel like we all should know more about her. The legacy event was coordinated with the International Archive of Women in Architecture (IAWA) , which holds the official archive for AWA+D at Virginia Tech . The main takeaway from the event was how important it is to document our work, and we should all consider submitting work to the IAWA , not just when we’re at the end of our careers, but even along the way. On that note, we set up a recording booth at the event with a few prompts, hoping to capture short stories and mini-interviews from event attendees, and this recorded material is being released on this podcast, as well as being sent to the IAWA as part of the AWA legacy. The women featured in this recording are: Virginia Tanzmann, Sona Gevorkyan, Alicia Morales, Beatriz Navarro, Christina Monti, Christie Wang, Stefanie Cheng, Danielle De Young, Anne Zimmerman, Koje Shoraka, Michelle Weisman, Magdalena Glen-Schieneman, and podcast host Audrey Sato.…

Interview with Barbara Elwood: AWA 100th Special Episode – XX|LA Episode 036 39:24

for 2 years siden39:24

39:24

This special episode is released in celebration of the 100 th anniversary of the Association for Women in Architecture and Design. In today’s episode, I’m joined by Barbara Elwood, who served three terms as madame president of AWA+D (which was then named AWA-LA) in 1960, 1962, and 1996. Barbara enrolled in USC Architecture’s Industrial Design program in 1952, and by the end of her first semester, was the only woman in her class. It’s so fascinating to hear about Barbara’s experiences and also hear about the evolution of AWA through her recollections. Please support AWA+D by becoming a member , sponsoring the organization, or donating to our sister organization, the AWAF (Association for Women in Architecture Foundation).…

Today’s episode is going to be a little bit of a different one, because the roles are reversed! Annie Chu of Chu+Gooding Architects , who is featured in Episode 31 , graciously offered to interview me for this episode. I am an architect and president of Sato Architects, Inc. , a podcast host, and past president of the Association for Women in Architecture + Design (AWA+D) . I previously taught architecture at Cal Poly Pomona , my alma mater. I have a new role to add to my list, which is that I’m going to become a mother in a couple of months. I’ll have my hands full keeping a little human and small business alive, so this will be the last podcast episode, at least for now. We’ve had a pretty amazing run, and I am so very thankful for every person I’ve been able to meet through podcasting.…

Karin Liljegren is founder and principal of Omgivning , an architecture and interior design firm whose practice is rooted in a love for the extraordinary urban fabric of downtown Los Angeles. Karin is an architect and interior designer, and founded Omgivning in 2009, just as the recession was threatening to halt downtown’s resurgence. To date, she and her staff have worked on almost 350 projects in Los Angeles, seeking to restore downtown’s purpose while helping to define its new identity. I’m constantly impressed by Karin’s go-getter attitude and entrepreneurial talents, which you’ll hear more about in this episode, as she talks about the way she purposefully designed her collaborative practice, and continues to evolve it beyond architecture, incorporating interiors, product design, and even real estate development into her operations.…

She has designed a variety of projects including a number of small lot subdivisions, custom homes, an elderly board and care facility, a battered women’s center, television production offices, and several animal kennels. When not at work, Tracy can be found reliving her Hawaiian roots by hula dancing at the local luau or bouncing down rough desert roads on the way to a secluded campsite. Abbi Naylor has worked with Tracy since 2018, and nominated her for the podcast. Abbi is a mid-west transplant, artist, and designer with a BS in Interior Design from Indiana University . Before jumping into architecture, she worked doing freelance graphic design and illustrations.

Eera Babtiwale is Vice President of Sustainability at HMC Architects , a mother of 3, a board member of Designing Futures Foundation , Chair of USGBC-Inland Empire , and an active member with USGBC-Los Angeles. Eera was nominated to be a guest on the show by her co-worker, Lance Hosey. Even though I had never met Eera, as I started researching in order to prepare for our interview, I realized that we had a lot of really awesome people in common! When asked about Eera, her co-workers talk about how she is “genuinely passionate”, “wonderful” and “a champion of sustainability”. After getting to know her, I agree wholeheartedly! In this episode, we’ll hear from Eera about what her position as Vice President of Sustainability means. Besides talking about sustainable design principles and the evolution of green building in our field, we also get to talk about her “why”- the motivating forces behind how and why she was able to cultivate a brand-new position for herself within her firm.…

Annie Chu is an architect, interior designer, educator, and a founding principal of the award-winning firm Chu+Gooding Architects . Annie is an alumnus of Sci-Arc and Columbia , and trained for 11 years with Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects in New York and Frank Israel in Beverly Hills before starting her own practice in 1996. Chu+Gooding Architects works on projects of many scales, from design of objects to residential homes, to exhibition design, and world-class arts, cultural, and higher education projects. LA locals will be familiar with the Hollywood Bowl Concession stands , the Autry Resource Center addition and renovation , and USC’s Hoffman Hall interior renovation , just to name a few projects. One of the things I admire about Annie is her impact upon our profession, on top of her firm’s achievements. Annie champions Interior Architecture as a distinct and emerging discipline, and received the Leadership Award of Excellence from IIDA So Cal in 2014. She also received the Presidential Honoree Educator Award from AIA|LA in 2016 and has dedicated 30 years to teaching.

After a pandemic-induced break, it’s a pleasure to kick off new episodes of the podcast with guest Lise Bornstein, architect and partner at KFA Architecture . I feel like this interview is long-overdue, because Lise is someone who I have a ton of respect for, and feel lucky to call a mentor and a friend. Lise graduated from North Carolina State University with a Bachelor of Environmental Design in Architecture and received her Masters of Architecture from Sci-Arc . Lise joined KFA in 2001, and was elevated to the role of partner in 2016. Lise gives back to her community in many ways, she is on the board of Step up on Second and just became president of AWAF, the Association for Women in Architecture Foundation . AWAF kickstarted this podcast through their Professional Development Fellowship, not only through funding, but also by offering a network of supporters. You can support fellowship projects for mid-career professionals, and scholarships for highly deserving young women through a tax deductible donation to AWAF or participate in their fundraising auction the first two weeks in December.

Helena Arahuete started working for John Lautner in 1971 and rose to the role of Chief Architect in his office. She continues today as Principal of Lautner Associates , most recently completing the restoration of the Bob and Dolores Hope House in Palm Springs. This is a very unique two-part episode featuring conversations with Helena Arahuete. I first met Helena at Palm Springs Modernism Week in February.

Interview with Claret-Cup – XX|LA Episode 017 53:03

for 7 years siden53:03

53:03

In this episode, I spent an evening chatting with the women of Claret-Cup at the Los Angeles Brewery Artists Colony. Claret-Cup was co-founded by Bojána Bányász and Donatella Cusmá, two architects who bonded over a love of Los Angeles, a shared value that architecture does not only serve its private owners, and a desire to work outside the normal bounds of a traditional practice. Their work crosses over to disciplines like fashion, graphic design, food making, and community building, and to me displays a sensitivity for creating multi-sensorial experiences and memories. We’re also joined by Marcee Krant, a native Angelino who works with Boja and Dona. Marcee does not have an architectural background, but comes from the fashion industry, and we hear her fresh perspective on what it’s like for her to work at Claret-Cup.

Leslie Sydnor is an architect now working as a Director / Planning Project Manager at Cumming Corporation. Leslie grew up in New York City wanting to effect change in the built environment, and so she went on to study architecture at Yale and then UCLA. After about 20 years in architecture, having risen to the level of Associate Principal, Leslie left her traditional career in architecture to work on the other side of things in project, program, planning, and construction management. Throughout her career, she gained expertise in education projects, and we hear stories about her work, her experiences rising up in a firm and then leaving it, and why being an architect now helps her excel at her current job. As women of color, we also discuss issues of race and gender, and talk pretty candidly about our experiences as architects. Links to upcoming events: Now What?!

Interview with Margot Siegel — XX|LA Episode 013 1:08:08

for 7 years siden1:08:08

1:08:08

Margot Siegel was born in 1932 in Germany, and as a child, she went on to live in Paris and then New York, as her family fled from Nazi occupation. She describes herself as always being somewhat of an outsider, having experienced the shock of new countries and cultures, and then becoming an architect in a time where it was highly unusual to be a woman and an architect. She attended Pratt Institute, graduating with her architecture degree in 1955. Finding that others weren’t giving her the opportunities she desired, she formed her own practice in 1972 and volunteered her time to obtain a HUD grant to form the Los Angeles Community Design Center. After 14 years on her own, with clients like the YWCA and East 60th Street Community Center, Margot partnered with Kate Diamond and Norma Sklarek to form Siegel Sklarek Diamond, Architects which later became Siegel Diamond Architects until 1999. The firm was celebrated for being one of the largest women-owned architecture firms in the nation at the time. Margot also played a formative role in West Hollywood’s history as she formed a committee to draft its Community Plan, which was later adopted when the city was incorporated. If all that wasn’t enough, she was also in the ski patrol, was the first woman board member and officer of AIA|LA, was active with the AWA, and so much more.…

Do you want to start your own practice, but aren't sure how to go about getting work? Ginger Tanzmann knows how you feel, and she asked herself those same questions. In 1978, Ginger had $20,000, two rooms in the Bradbury Building, and the passion to pursue her dream of owning her own architecture business. In this interview with Virginia (better known as Ginger) Tanzmann, FAIA, we hear the stories of Ginger’s long and illustrious career, including how she built The Tanzmann Associates from 1978-1997. At its peak, Ginger had over 25 employees and work in all types of sectors. Work at the firm included projects like the Los Angeles Mission and the North Hollywood Metro Red Line Station. A graduate of Syracuse University, Ginger made her way to Los Angeles, working in various places including Dworsky Associates and Metro (formerly Southern California Rapid Transit District). After closing her firm, Ginger continued her career in architecture, working in large corporate environments such as Cal State and WSP (formerly Parsons Brinkerhoff), working on award-winning projects like the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center (ARTIC). Ginger also brought passion to service work, volunteering in many non-profits like 211 Los Angeles, United Way, YWCA, AIA, AWA+D, and AWAF.

Today’s guest is Deborah Weintraub, Chief Deputy City Engineer for the Bureau of Engineering in the City of Los Angeles’ Department of Public Works. Deborah is the first architect and woman to hold the position, and in this role has overseen projects like the LA River Revitalization Master Plan and the 6th Street Viaduct, which is currently under construction. Through this work, she had made major contributions to the city and its future, applying her architectural background and training to engineering projects large and small. Her impact on the city we know today, and the city we will experience 30 years from now, is undeniable. Prior to her time with the City, Deborah also worked in private practice in New York and California, and she gained expertise in sustainability through her work with the Canadian Consulate and Southern California Edison. Deborah’s career is fascinating because of these varied experiences she's had as an architect, and in each position, she really embraced the impact she could have.

Episode 10 features Ingalill Wahlroos-Ritter, Dean of the School of Architecture at Woodbury University and Director of WUHO (Woodbury University Hollywood) Gallery. Ingalill was elevated to the College of Fellows in the AIA this year, a high distinction awarded to only 3 percent of AIA members. She serves on the advisory board of the LA Forum for Architecture and Urban Design,* and previously was on the Board of the AIA|LA. Prior to her tenure at Woodbury, Ingalill taught at Cornell, Yale, the Bartlett, and Sci-Arc, and also worked as an architect, specializing in the building envelope and experimental use of glass. In this episode, Ingalill discusses the importance of diversity and the role of ethics in architecture and architecture education. Through her work at Woodbury, Ingalill has created multiple pathways for future architects, leading to a field that is more accessible and inclusive. She also talks openly about gender and the complexities of raising a daughter in this world, and shares strategies for being a thoughtful leader. To find out more about Ingalill, visit her profile online at https://woodbury.edu/faculty/ingalill-wahlroos-ritter/ In this episode, Ingalill and I talk about a few articles and books: 'The architecture degree will be the law degree of the 21st century': A conversation with Woodbury's Ingalill Wahlroos-Ritter by Christopher Hawthorne in The Los Angeles Times The Future Belongs to Woodbury University by Mark Lamster in Architect Magazine Architecture -- A Woman's Profession edited by Tanja Kullack *Correction: Previously, the post read that Ingalill was on the Board of Directors to the LA Forum, but she is on the Advisory Board.…

for 7 years siden42:35

42:35

This episode features Ena Dubnoff, an architect and artist who had a diverse career since graduating at the top of her class, and as the only woman in her class, from USC in 1960. Ena has her Masters of Architecture from Columbia, and throughout her career taught at Penn State, Sci-Arc and USC, and worked at the offices of William Pereira, A. Quincy Jones, and Skidmore, Owings, & Merril. She established her own practice specializing in projects for non-profit organizations, such as W.O.R.K.S. , with a focus on affordable housing. What I find really interesting is that Ena was able to work on large projects with a small flexible office, and she did this through the strong partnerships and relationships that she built during her career, such as with Fernando Vazquez. Many of her projects have won awards, including from the AIA|LA, Los Angeles Conservancy, and AIACC. Ena talks specifically about her work at Pisgah Village, Willowbrook Green, Planned Parenthood, and El Centro del Pueblo, in addition to other projects. During this episode, Ena speaks honestly and openly about lessons learned over her long and varied career. I admire her unpretentious nature as she talks about her major accomplishments, and the way she fluidly navigated her own path through architecture. For more information about Ena, and to see her woodturning work, visit: http://www.enadubnoff.com/ Ena participated in a Women in Architecture Panel at Sci-Arc in 1976 which you can watch on YouTube.

LA-Más is a non-profit urban design organization that helps lower-income and underserved communities shape their future through policy and architecture. During this episode, Elizabeth talks about LA-Más, and some of the exciting work they are doing in our city. Elizabeth and Helen were just named Emerging Voices by the Architectural League of New York, and Elizabeth is also part of the Re:Code LA team. Elizabeth is a graduate of USC School of Architecture and Harvard’s Graduate School of Design, and comes from a rich background immersed in architecture as daughter of the late Robert Timme, who was the dean of USC’s School of Architecture. Elizabeth talks about what it’s like to be a female third-generation architect, and her journey to LA-Más. We discuss some of LA-Más' projects including work on backyard houses, or ADUs. I admire Elizabeth’s conviction, openness, and intellect. I love that she does not accept things for how they are, and challenges what they could be.
