In this 60-minute course filmed live at the AIA California's 2019 Monterey Design Conference, Yvonne Farrell, FRIAI, Hon.

How do we create something that is useful, beautiful and meaningful? Yvonne takes us on journey through the silent language of space and inspires us to “treat EARTH as a client.” Her poetic delivery leaves no doubt about why her firm won the inaugural RIBA International Prize in 2016 and was recently awarded the RIBA 2020 Royal Gold Medal and the 2020 Pritzker Prize.
