Architecture journalist Sam Lubell is a self-described “expert in failure.” As the co-author of the literary phenomenon Never Built, Sam’s passion is uncovering structures that never came to be. Sam’s immersion in unrealized dreams -- from suspension bridges with skyscrapers for legs, to a geodesic dome for the Brooklyn Dodgers -- has given him unique insight on how spaces make us more -- or less -- human. 

On Oct. 28, Sam releases his new book Life Meets Art: Inside the Homes of the World's Most Creative People.

Sam and Justin also discuss raw beauty as a cure for depression, architecture as a civil right, and how to balance work and relationships, especially as a freelancer.
