This episode’s guest is Sarah Williams Goldhagen, the author of “Welcome to Your World: How the Built

Environment Shapes Our Lives." She is an author and architect critic who has taught at Wellesley,

Harvard and is currently a visiting scholar at the Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art.

Sarah shares what "exactly situated cognition" is and why understanding that concept can lead to

powerful understandings about how we operate in our buildings, our communities, and our spaces. We

talk about “sticky moments” and how designers and placemakers can reconsider our values to improve

our environments and our lives.
