Lindsay PetersonHost
Welcome back to In a Glimpse, a podcast where we talk about the emotion of awe and its relationship to design.
Scott is an associate professor of architecture at North Carolina Central University, where he is pioneering the architecture program, the first pre-architecture initiative at an HBCU in North Carolina.
Previously, Scott spent 20 years at Savannah College of Art and Design, where he served as the chair of architecture.
Scott's distinct scholarship navigates the intersection of phenomenology, critical theory, and visual culture, investigating how architecture is mediated through materials, images, and texts to shape culture and philosophical understanding of space.
Scott is a Duke University Digital Humanities Fellow and has received multiple design and preservation awards.
So I'm really eager to get your perspectives about odd design and technology, but specifically in regards to physical and constructed spaces.
To start out, I'd like to begin our conversation today by talking about awe and just asking what that experience and emotion means to you.
