Better Buildings for Humans Podcast Launches Season 3 with Top Architects

The acclaimed podcast Better Buildings for Humans, powered by Advanced Glazings Ltd., has launched its third season, marking a significant milestone with a series of must-listen episodes featuring prominent voices in architecture and design. The season's highlight is a landmark conversation with internationally acclaimed architect Alison Brooks, the only practitioner to have received all three of the Royal Institute of British Architects' highest honors. In this wide-ranging discussion, Brooks explores themes of housing, beauty, and the cultural power of home, emphasizing how deeper windows, thoughtful proportions, and sculptural form can reconnect people to light and elevate the human experience, reinforcing architecture's responsibility beyond mere energy codes and performance metrics.

Adding to this powerful lineup, the podcast features an episode with Thierry Paret, FAIA, Vice President of Architecture and Engineering at the New York City School Construction Authority, who brings a rare, large-scale perspective on designing healthy, high-performing buildings across one of the world's largest public building portfolios. Another key episode includes a conversation with Yiselle Santos Rivera, architect, educator, and incoming President-Elect of the American Institute of Architects, who discusses how architecture intersects with neuroscience, public health, climate resilience, and economic mobility, advocating for buildings as tools for healing, justice, and joy. These episodes, available on all major podcast platforms, reflect the show's growing influence and its role as a trusted platform for architects, designers, builders, and policy leaders seeking deeper insight into how buildings shape health, dignity, and daily life.

Looking ahead, Season 3 and early 2026 will expand the podcast's focus on emerging research and under-examined forces shaping human health inside buildings. Upcoming episodes will explore critical topics such as partial spectrum light and its potential impacts on circadian health, cognition, and long-term well-being, examining how common building technologies like certain LED lighting systems and low-emissivity glazing may unintentionally alter indoor light quality. The show will also delve into the rapidly expanding world of metal buildings, investigating their use across commercial, industrial, educational, and civic applications and how they can be paired with advanced daylighting strategies, including translucent glazing systems such as SoleraWall® by Advanced Glazings Ltd., to improve occupant comfort, visual quality, and energy performance at scale. These themes align with the podcast's core mission to question assumptions, follow evidence, and elevate conversations about how buildings truly affect the people inside them, as highlighted in the original release on www.newmediawire.com.
