Meet Terran Wilson (AIA), Principal at LBBA, and Mejay Gula (AIA, NOMA), Architect and Studio Director at site design group ltd., for a chat about their work and the project to remake the last remaining building of the Jane Addams Homes into the National Public Housing Museum. In conversation with Lisa Yun Lee, Executive Director and Chief Curator at the Museum, the wide-ranging chat will also touch on women in architecture and the stories of women architects, planners, and designers who were instrumental in shaping public housing, such as Mary Long Rogers, landscape architect for Jane Addams Homes, and Beverly Lorraine Green, the first African American woman to be licensed as an architect in the United States.
