What makes a building worth investing in? How should architects rethink community engagement? And what does the next generation of architecture leaders think about innovation? 🎙️ Welcome to the 60-Second Exchange — a special Clear Haze Exchange bonus episode recorded at NOMA 2026 in Miami! Six guests. Six perspectives. One-minute conversations exploring architecture, sustainable design, leadership, and the future of our built environment.
