Hello everyone and welcome to an Architecture Social special. Today, we're going not only in the world of architecture, but in the world of interior design, and all those places that you were before in the pandemic, and are now returning to, these special spaces that we spend most of our lives. So they better be good, right?
I think we need to have an expert here, someone that understands commercial spaces, and what that is going to look like in this continuing, evolving, post pandemic world. And on that note, I've got the amazing Greta Kay, as I call her. Greta Kay? Get my Bartlett bell ready. Greta Kay? Who is Design Principal at Woodall's.
