Tarek Moubayed: Navigating Housing Styles for Your Dream Home | Room by Room #40

Get ready to spice up your day with another episode of Room by Room: The Home Organization Science Insights Podcast, hosted by the amazing Gabriella Joustra. Today, we're jumping headfirst into the wild world of housing styles with our buddy, Tarek Moubayed. Creating your dream home is like a puzzle, and Tarek's here to spill the beans on how architecture and socio-economics do the tango in making your space perfect.

 

Tarek's got a cool story. He's a Lebanon native who brought his love for architecture to the U.S. after snagging his Bachelor's in 2021. Now, he's rocking it with a Master's from the University of Houston and a gig at AECOM, a global infrastructure consulting firm. He's all about those big projects!

 

In this episode, Tarek takes us on a virtual house-hunting expedition, sharing a valuable tip: use Google Maps to explore a potential home before stepping foot inside. Discover how climate, region, and material availability weave into the rich tapestry of housing styles. Tarek sheds light on the subtle features that unveil a house's unique style, offering practical insights for anyone navigating the exciting yet complex journey of finding their dream home. So, whether you're a seasoned homebuyer or just starting to imagine your ideal living space, this episode is your passport to understanding the architectural language of homes.

 

Tarek and Gabriella also discuss housing affordability and some of the causes of the increasing cost of housing. Tarek recommends the documentary Push as a look at housing affordability in cities across the world, and our episode with Prof. Piyush Tiwari is also mentioned in the podcast.
