Design Without Borders with Adi Cohen
Adi Cohen is the founder of The New Movement, an architecture studio that designs one-of-a-kind projects worldwide. She is the host of the podcast ‘Go Out and Talk to Strangers’, TEDx speaker, Forbes-featured, passionate creator, and free thinker. Adi is on a mission to create ‘the most inspiring places on earth’, with the intention of using the built environment as a tool to help people thrive. Adi is a global citizen, and the first architect to be living a nomadic lifestyle while working. She uses her travels as a source of inspiration, a way to connect to ancient wisdom and learn from local communities.
In this episode, we talk about:
- How Adi’s childhood influenced her desire to explore
- Adi’s life-changing decision to leave behind her stable job to pursue a global education
- How little changes in a space can greatly influence the social behaviors of people
- Understanding the neurobiological pattern of prospects and refuge
- On reimagining offices that are able to genuinely cultivate creativity
- Designing international spaces with remote teams
- On bridging cultural differences among clients and teams
- The beauty of co-living in nomadic communities
- On the absurdity of how humans spend more than 90% of their lives indoors
- On rejecting traditional career paths and notions
- Adi’s commitment to helping others create beautiful lives
