Wendy Evans Joseph joins the podcast to discuss designing for exhibitions, reframing context through design, and her studio’s concept for the Folger Shakespeare Library. This conversation is a departure from designing for large civic projects and a focus on different and smaller scales. Studio Joseph relies heavily on community engagement and actual input during the research phase to help shape the final designs, bringing social justice, contemporary issues, and intimate settings into focus as part of the design process.
