Human City

Pauly De Bartolo is the cofounder and principal of DBRDS (De Bartolo + Rimanic Design Studio) out of San Diego and Sacramento and is an Australian Native with a keen outlook on designing better spaces. Pauly has diverse experience in many projects including mixed use, multifamily, interiors, office, hotels - among pretty much everything else (including master planning). His work is modern and contemporary but with an orientation to it’s location and fundamentals in sustainability. In this conversation we talk about how important hand drawing is to crafting spaces, lessons from Australian design, the importance of collaboration (and how to implement it), and how to rethink the city planning field. Pauly is a passionate advocator for the built environment and you will definitely hear that throughout. There is absolutely something in this episode for you!
