This week we sit down with our friend and professor John Ellis. We focus on his work in the city of Cotonou, Benin, collaborating with a former student and the local community to build a design studio that " utilizes citizen participation to empower local communities through the regeneration of public spaces". Thanks again to John for talking with us!
