Ever watch an episode of How It's Made? 📺🏭👩‍🏭 You might think you know something about a product based on what goes down in the factory where it's assembled, but the production process actually extends way before that!

Take our example of a pencil, inspired by a speech by the economist Milton Friedman on the power of markets. Even before materials ever reach the factory, a lot of energy, resources, and coordination goes into securing all the goods necessary for manufacturing just a pencil! ✏

✨ Meet our media team member @audreytheyue! ✨

She's currently a 4th year at Cal majoring in Urban Studies. We asked her about her sustainable architecture inspirations! 🏞🏛🏞 Here's what she had to say:

"I think an overlooked part of sustainability is the need to work with limited resources. The Quinta Monroy social housing project in Chile, for example, had to house 100 families on a shoe-string budget. Not only that, the architects wanted to make these homes a a tool to help residents build wealth and get out of poverty. At first, they were bare-bones rowhouses that had only a kitchen, bathroom, and stairs. But the houses were also designed with space for residents to renovate and expand. The project hinged on the capacity of individuals to build in their own time. I liked looking at the before and after photos of how residents transformed their homes. With social housing, the context that you work in is never perfect. I'm inspired by projects that use creative building solutions to make the most out of the least."

P.S. We'll be rolling out some more mini-interviews to let you get to know the rest of the MoT team! Look forward to hearing from them soon! 👀

What about you? Know a building that's making a difference? Tell us in the comments!!!👇👇👇
