Alejandro Lacreu is an architect, inventor, and member of the activist group Neighbors for Palermo. We talk about his lifelong career designing and supervising projects in "inhospitable", remote and demanding environments, including work in Mendoza and Manhattan. After, Ale shares how his architectural vision eventually expanded into neighborhood organizing, as he began questioning the impacts of unchecked real estate development in Buenos Aires. We talk about the politics of green space, the value of doing work that outlives us, and the collaborative project we're part of to transform a vacant lot in Buenos Aires into a public forest. Ale also reflects on what it means to be good neighbors and how to work across differences in service of the common good.
