Spencer Bailey’s forthcoming book, In Memory Of: Designing Contemporary Memorials (Phaidon Press), speaks to the important work of memorializing lives lived and how we experience grief. Spencer, the former editor in chief of Surface magazine and a talented journalist who writes about architecture, art, culture, design, and technology for many publications, came to this work via a very personal experience. He also explores the relevant notion of slowing down in his podcast, which he cohosts with Andrew Zuckerman, in which they speak to thought leaders on the subjects of design, nature, the environment, and activism. Their conversations are organized around the five senses and how we experience the world through this lens. Spencer truly understands that the objects we choose reflect our values and shared experience. Listen in as we explore the personal side of design and the impact our choices make on the world and how we experience our spaces.
