I was glad to sit down with Johnny Burtka, president and CEO of the Intercollegiate Studies Institute (ISI), for an interview about my work at the National Civic Art Society. I discussed how beauty, art, and architecture shape a flourishing society, including the importance of classical architecture in fostering civic pride and cultural renewal, the influence of aesthetics on a society’s moral character, and the challenges posed by Modernist architecture. You can watch the interview, which was published on October 31, 2024, here.
