About the show

Innovation by Design is the podcast where architecture meets innovation in the built environment. Hosted by Evan Troxel — architect, educator, and veteran AEC podcast host — and Candace Kitchen of Total Door Systems, each episode features short, story-driven conversations with the practitioners, designers, engineers, and innovators shaping the future of architecture, engineering, and construction. From design equity and healthcare mega-projects to AI in architecture, computational design, and construction specifications, Innovation by Design explores how everyday design decisions impact safety, sustainability, and human experience in buildings and cities. Whether it's a $2.2 billion hospital expansion redefining an urban neighborhood or a small firm rethinking how architects create value, the show bridges the gap between big ideas and real-world building practice.
