Welcome to the final episode of season four! We're wrapping up 2025 with a conversation featuring the incredible Peter D. Cook, FAIA, NOMA. In this episode, we talk about his remarkable lineage, his role in shaping DC's architectural landscape, and his work at the contemplative site at Monticello (see video below). We also discuss the importance of community engagement, the challenges architecture students face, and his contributions to DC’s public spaces, including libraries. It’s the perfect close to the season, and I can’t wait for you to hear it!
In this episode, we’re joined by Kevin Sneed FAIA FIIDA NCARB NOMA LEED AP BD+C CDT, whose career spans decades in the field of interior architecture. As a fellow of both the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and the International Interior Design Association (IIDA), Kevin shares his journey from Dallas to D.C. and what it means to be the first African American male honored in the IIDA College of Fellows (a significant milestone in a field where less than 1% of professionals identify as African American).
