Imagine a Place serves as a storytelling platform for the architecture and design industry, exploring the intersection of human behavior and physical space. Primary host Maria VanDeman leads deep-dive conversations with executives from global firms such as HOK, Gensler, and SmithGroup, moving past corporate jargon to uncover the motivations behind current workplace shifts. The series frequently tackles complex themes like neurodiversity, the 'flight to quality' in real estate, and professional boundaries in the A&D sector. Recently, the platform expanded its focus through the In the ROOM sub-series hosted by Wesley Edmonds, which specifically examines flexible architecture and coworking ecosystems. This expansion follows the successful launch of the children’s book Design Your World, co-authored by VanDeman to introduce underrepresented students to the profession. By hosting unscripted retreats and producing high-production video podcasts, Imagine a Place provides a research-driven look at how intentional design improves personal wellbeing and long-term organizational performance.
