Clear Haze Exchange

On this episode of Clear Haze Exchange, Marcus Hazelwood sits down with architect, author, and environmental advocate Kalpana Sutaria to explore the intersection of design, policy, and climate action. Drawing on her upbringing in India, decades of work in Austin, and her book Cooling Our Environment, Kalpana shares how passive design strategies, community engagement, and thoughtful policy can cool buildings, lower emissions, and create healthier cities. From lessons learned on public projects to her volunteer work with Citizens Climate Lobby, Kalpana makes a compelling case for action—and for telling stories that reach both the heart and the mind.
