The Knowledge Gap and the Need for Mentorship in the Design Industry

In today’s episode, we explore the growing knowledge gap as well as the critical importance of mentorship for Architects and Engineers. We discuss why mentorship is baked into everything we do in our collaborative, Level Design Partners.

We also address the challenges of climate change and how the built environment affects the planet. We explore the need for sustainable design and the role of technology in our field.

Then, we shift to the history of infrastructure development in the early 1700s, focusing on transportation, bridge construction, and urban planning, highlighting both the frustrations and opportunities of that era.
