California Architect Dean Larkin Interviewed for Scandalabra Podcast
January 3, 2022 – Dean Larkin was recently interviewed on Mark Brunetz’s podcast, Scandalabra.
Dean Larkin was excited to be part of the newest season of the podcast. He praised the dialogue enabled by Brunetz, and noted that there was just not enough of this type of discussion about architecture and design, adding “I’m an avid listener (of the podcast) and I was thrilled to be asked.”
During the podcast, many subjects were explored, including Dean Larkin’s entry into professional architecture with Richard Landry. Dean said of Landry, “He was a great boss and a great person to learn the industry from. I don’t think anybody knows the industry better than him. I couldn’t have been more honored.”
In addition, Dean described some of his favorite projects and inspirations, as well as his design process.
When asked what advice he would give to young architects, Dean noted “Part of it is understanding where you fit in to the grand scheme of architecture…I never wanted to design, I HAD to design…” He went on to say that there are many roles that people have in making a project happen, and advised that young interns “try a lot, and find their place.”
