EP 4: The Beauty of Failure with
Architecture Journalist Sam Lubell

Architecture journalist Sam Lubell is a self-described “expert in failure.” As the co-author of the literary phenomenon Never Built, Sam’s passion is uncovering structures that never came to be.

Sam’s immersion in unrealized dreams — from suspension bridges with skyscrapers for legs, to a geodesic dome for the Brooklyn Dodgers — has given him unique insight on how spaces make us more — or less — human. 

In 2020 Sam released his new book Life Meets Art: Inside the Homes of the World's Most Creative People.

Sam and Justin also discuss raw beauty as a cure for depression, architecture as a civil right, and how to balance work and relationships as a freelancer.
