Episode #78: Violet Whitney

18 October 2019

Internships and the Architectural Profession: Architecture and Tech

Violet Whitney in Conversation with James Brillon

In this podcast episode, recent graduate James Brillon (‘18 M.Arch) speaks with faculty and alumni Violet Whitney ('17 M.Arch). The School recently commissioned a small group of GSAPP alumni to report on the current state of internships in the architecture profession. James is one of the contributors to the report, and we asked him to expand on the issues in this conversation with Violet. In addition to teaching in GSAPP’s Visual Studies sequence, Violet leads computational design and research at Sidewalk Labs. They discuss Violet’s personal experience in her transition from architecture to tech, and how the business models of traditional architecture firms compare to those of a tech company. The full text of the Internships and the Architectural Profession report can be read here.

This podcast was produced and edited by Yulin Peng and Sritoma Bhattacharjee.
