b'Dean Amale Andraos speaks with Evan Sharp, co-founder and chief product officer of Pinterest and Columbia GSAPP alumnus, in advance of his lecture at the school on September 7, 2018.\\nThey discuss how architectural thinking has informed Sharp\\u2019s practice as a designer and entrepreneur, and delve into the role of architects as image makers with the capability to shape dreams, and the importance of a more human centered approach to design and technology.\\n\\u201cI think architecture is ultimately about shelter, environment, and the human. In technology, it\\u2019s easy to forget sometimes who you\\u2019re building for, because you don\\u2019t see or interact with them. So having that body memory, that the point of all this is people, is really powerful. And that\\u2019s something I learned at GSAPP.\\u201d\\u2013Evan Sharp'
