Building More, But Building Better? | The Hidden Forces Behind The Words We Use

About this episode

What if the best building practices go against the urban norm? We look at how architects and developers are rethinking modern construction through natural materials, healthier spaces and designs that account for their long-term impact on both people and the environment. Then, words like “rizz” and “unalive” may sound like internet throwaways, but they demonstrate how quickly social media is reshaping language. We’re joined by linguist Adam Aleksic who breaks down how slang spreads online, why emojis still matter and how algorithms are changing the way we communicate.
