Giovanna Borasi is an architect, writer, and curator. She’s currently the director of the Canadian Centre for Architecture, where she previous held the positions of Chief Curator, Curator of Contemporary Architecture, and Associate Director of Programs. In all these roles, her work often seeks to challenge the conventional definition of the architect. In this conversation, Jarrett and Giovanna talk about the CCA’s mission and history, how her background studying architecture influences her work, and why she’s interested in the confusion that comes with blurring disciplinary boundaries.

Scratching the Surface is made possible entirely by listener support.
