The tragedy of Flint, Michigan\'s water crisis seems to worsen with every newly uncovered detail. As a manmade public health crisis provoked by willful denial and compromised safety standards, the entirely preventable poisoning of Flint\'s water supply with lead stands not only as a failure to care for the citizens of one city, but as a dreadful harbinger for the U.S.\'s deteriorating infrastructure networks.

Kurt joins us on the podcast this week to discuss how architects might apply their skills to improve such a monstrous situation, and address the real limitations the profession has when it comes to these scenarios.
