Crafting Hope: Architect Wil Carson on Designing for Homeless Youth
“For us, it's a weird question to be asked because we don't approach that building any differently than we approach developing any other project that we do. And whether that's a house for a wealthy person or a museum or a restaurant, or whatever it is, which you have experience in all those.”
