For Between Us, the second season of the Architectures of Planetary Well-Being podcast, we partnered with KoozArch, a research-driven studio and digital magazine exploring architecture and design beyond their built forms. The phrase “between us” implies a secret, something kept safe, reserved just for those present. The concepts explored in Between Us are, alternatively, meant to be shared, but they’re indeed explored in intimate dialogues between practitioners who might not have known each other previously and then found commonality—and even collaboration—through these conversations.
In exchanges guided by Federica Zambeletti and Shumi Bose (KoozArch's founder and chief editor, respectively), fourteen cultural practitioners, meeting each other across generational and geographical distances, discussed architecture, storytelling, language, material, science fiction, landscapes, tenderness, and memory. A common thread emerged: the need for collaboration, friendship, accessibility, and imagination in the reimagining of a more just world. In working toward a state of planetary well-being, we must cross boundaries between artistic mediums and territorial borders alike—and reach for each other.

Architect, media artist, and educator Leah Wulfman and artist, filmmaker, and musician Lawrence Lek each found their way to architecture through an interest in world-building. Today, they both continue to create digital universes. In this episode, they discuss their educational histories, the material connection between the digital and physical worlds—the often detrimental environmental impact of technology on our planet; the way humanity, even its emotions, shapes virtual reality—and how exploring both realms with curiosity and care can lead to a more sustainable future.
