Our new podcast, Archinect Sessions: One-to-One\\xa0is an interview show, straight-up. Each episode features a single interview with a notable figure in contemporary architecture \\u2013 it\'s that simple. Usually, One-to-One will be led by me or Paul Petrunia, while occasionally others will serve as guide. The conversation will be casual and spontaneous, touching on the interviewee\'s role in the expanding range of architectural practice, and will serve\\xa0(we hope)\\xa0a valuable archival role in future discourse.

For our very first episode, I spoke with Neil Denari of Neil M. Denari Architects (NMDA). Aside from his firm\'s work, Denari is a tenured professor at UCLA, and was the director of SCI-Arc from 1997 - 2001. We spoke about the shifting focus of architecture education, multitasking, Los Angeles and the recession\'s impact on architecture.
