Interview with Travis Falstad and Beth Ann Falstad of The Building Community
Today Ian welcomes two guests, Travis Falstad and Beth Ann Falstad, from The Building Community who strive to solve the issue of homelessness through an interactive and conscious process. The pair explains what the homelessness problem means for them and why they have started this initiative. After Ian asks what motivated them to create this project, Beth and Travis explain their initial process of brainstorming and then elaborate on how the project went from an idea into a real program. They also spend some time explaining the goal of the entire project. Ian asks how feedback has changed the objectives of the project and the pair provide an extensive answer about how they implemented suggestions into the final design. Beth Ann talks a bit more about the differences in the community and how much homeless people rely on each other to survive as a community. Ian asks about the materials used in creating the community housing they designed, which the pair happily answers. Ian ends the episode with a discussion about the future goals of the team and looking forward to restarting post-pandemic.
