Scott Verdouw - Empathy in architecture

Hearing Architecture

Our guest in this episode is Scott Verdouw from Jaws Architects, based in Tasmania. Scott is a registered architect and has practised architecture in Tasmania and Europe, with much of Scott's work being located in remote places that require sensitive responses and minimal impact. Scott shares how they approach accepting sensitive commissions from their clients, what Jaw's went through working on the public accommodation huts on the Three Capes Track in the Tasman Peninsula National Park, and how the discussion and debate that takes place during a contentious project is part of a healthy design process. This interview is conducted by Abby Hibberd, who is an EmAGN representative based in Tasmania.
