About This Podcast

4D Design Podcast explores how Architecture + Design can control our perceptions, our behaviors, and our health. Are you interested in how Design works but don't know how where to start? We will explain all of the tricks we learn in architecture school, and how to read and use the visual language of Design. Andrea Keller (AK) has been a licensed architect for more than 20 years and has taught architectural history, theory and design at USC School of Architecture and Otis. She is an expert in Sacred Geometry and is creating new architecture based on the geometry of music. She believes that everyone should be able to use design in order to be healthier, stronger and more successful. Episodes include Architectural Explainers, Case Studies, History, Theory, and Q&As with AK.
