Show Notes

Welcome to the Building Texas show! We're in San Marcos, Texas, for an exciting *interview* with Professor Nadim Adi from **txst**.

This conversation began at South by Southwest, highlighting the professor's engaging discussion on design impact at the *university**. It's always great to connect with thought leaders in the **austin* area, bringing you the latest *news* from Texas State.

55 million people worldwide live with dementia — and almost none of their homes are designed with their condition in mind. ‪@txst‬ Professor Nadim Adi is researching how intentional architecture, color contrast, and spatial design can help aging loved ones stay safer, eat better, and live with more dignity.

From the plate color that helps dementia patients recognize their food, to the layout choices that reduce fall risk, to what AI actually can (and can't) do for the future of architecture — this conversation covers what most designers never talk about publicly.
