Not just for those who identify as queer or the Latinx community, but for creating diverse, welcoming urban spaces for all.</p><p>We&rsquo;re joined by two guests, <a href="http://archinect.com/susansurface" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">S. Surface</a>: a queer designer, curator, organizer, and the program director at Design in Public in Seattle, and James Rojas: an urban planner trained at MIT and specializing in cultural landscapes, who has written extensively about Latino urbanism.</p><p>Listen to&nbsp;episode 69 of&nbsp;<a href="http://archinect.com/sessions" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><strong>Archinect Sessions</strong></a>, "Queer Space, After Pulse":</p><ul><li><strong>iTunes</strong>:&nbsp;<a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/archinect-sessions/id928222819" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Click here to listen</a>, and click the "Subscribe" button below the logo to automatically download new episodes.</li><li><strong>Apple Po...</strong></li></ul>
