Marc Kushner
Architizer Co-Founder | Connecting the Public with Architecture
About
Marc Kushner is breaking architecture out of its insular echo chamber with Architizer, an online hub he co-founded to reconnect the public with buildings. Architizer has grown to become the world's largest platform for architecture, showcasing innovative projects that push the boundaries of design.
Kushner's talks explore how architecture can shape culture, foster community, and improve our daily lives. By making the built environment more accessible, he empowers audiences to engage with the design decisions that define their world.

Why the buildings of the future will be shaped by ... you
"Architecture is not about math or zoning -- it's about visceral emotions," says Marc Kushner. In a sweeping — often funny — talk, he zooms through the past thirty years of architecture to show how the public, once disconnected, have become an essential part of the design process. With the help of social media, feedback reaches architects years before a building is even created. The result? Architecture that will do more for us than ever before.
