The American Institute of Architects Los Angeles awarded Michael Lehrer the gold medal, their highest award, describing him as "an architect fully engaged with architecture as a means to contribute to society as a whole." Michael has worked for clients across the social spectrum, but a great deal of his focus has been on finding innovative solutions to the crisis of 'houselessness' in LA. He speaks to Drea and Tom about the importance of architecture as a means to restore our dignity and our humanity as a society, the creative opportunities afforded by 'focus in reverie', and the overwhelming power to be found in a simple smile.
