This week, I had the pleasure of interviewing Sarah Ball, the Principal Architect for the education and science sector at Woods Bagot. With her extensive expertise in the built environment, Sarah offered valuable insights into the design and development of projects within this sector. 

During our conversation, we delved into her career journey, discussing how she entered the field of architecture. We also explored various aspects of architecture, including fee structures, the distinction between good and bad design, and achieving positive design outcomes.

Additionally, we examined the design process, client interactions, and the challenges faced by architects within the broader context of the built environment. 

Sarah's passion for architecture and her wealth of experience shone through as she shared inspiring stories of successful projects and the impact of thoughtful design on communities. We also touched on the importance of sustainability and how it intertwines with the educational and scientific sectors. 

Her valuable insights and perspectives make this episode a must-listen for anyone interested in the fascinating world of architecture and its role in shaping our built environment.
