Ignacio Correa-Ortiz, Senior Architect and Urban Planner, joins the show to give us the stories of his varied experiences and talk about how he is working to make Denver a more equitable environment.
Ignacio grew up in Columbia but studied in Belgium and then Wisconsin. He worked for firms such as CCY, SOM, HDR, and OZ before joining RTD in 2011. Beyond these offices, Ignacio engages in many community organizations and volunteer roles such as serving as a Planning Board Member for the City of Denver, the Denver Director for AIA Colorado, a Board Member for the Denver Architectural Foundation and the Co-Chair of the American Planning Association EDI Committee. We talk about his personal theory of Regenerativism as well as his current research into Troglodyte Architecture.
After the credits we discuss a recent burglary that occurred in his home and his thoughts on the roles that zoning, social housing and accessory dwelling units can play within the city.
