“How do we shape environments that encourage people to behave certain ways in certain places?” – Jeff Hoover

Jeff Hoover has been doing library planning and design at Tappé Architects since 1984. Today he is a Principal at the firm and has recently been Chair of the Architecture for Public Libraries Committee for the ALA. Jeff is a good friend of ours here at Agati, and it’s an honor to be able to have him on the show.

Jeff has a long history in the industry, a huge passion for the work, and quite the story of how he got into this space in the first place. In this imagery-rich conversation, Jeff shares about the history of library design, how the role of libraries has shifted, designing for human behavior and community dynamics, and where he sees the industry going.

We really loved this conversation, and we look forward to hearing what stands out most to you!
