In this episode of Insights: Art and Architecture, Moshe Safdie speaks with Victoria Newhouse, architectural historian and author, about the ideas that continue to guide his work, from the role of nature in the city to the craft of building at many scales. 

The five-part series features conversations with architects over the age of 80, including Frank Gehry, Rem Koolhaas, Raj Rewal, Peter Eisenman, and Safdie. Together, the episodes offer a reflective look at decades of practice, the evolution of architectural thinking, and the commitments that endure.

“I don’t know how to stop. I’m enjoying it. The opportunities are very seductive. I also find that experience matters. The vast experience that accumulates makes it not easier but richer. And as long as my health permits me to travel and to work, as it seems to for now, I keep going.”
