This week on Burning Down the House Curtis speaks to Katy Purvíance Basič of the Verb School and architect Nick Agneta about the nature of inspiration, and the potential benefits or drawbacks of the "all nighter". The trio question whether an architect in need of a concept should wait for inspiration to strike, burn the midnight oil, and work until it does); or should get out, read a book, see a movie, admire some buildings, and then literally go back to the drawing board.
