To do

article a bit over-sourced, needs another pass to use only most reliable and important sources

I agree it's over-sourced WP:CITEKILL / WP:REFBOMB. A lot of citations are behind paywalls, so could not check everything. Here are some suggestions for trimming of lower quality "sources":

• Denzeen [1] is a modified press release
• Architectural Record is a blog post [2]
• Interactive architecture lab is a dead link [3]
• Architecture Design [4] is a primary source written by him, and it's behind a paywall.
• We make money not art is a blog [5]
• Bartlet school is a primary source from an Alumni newsletter [6]
• Locus Research is a blog post [7]
• Design boom is churnalism and looks a little like SEO paid-PR placement or native advertising [8]
• Make - same as above [9]
• Abitare - same as above [10]
• Architecture AU is basically a name-check [11]
• CNN/Money also looks like paid SEO PR placement or native advertising [12]
• Telegraph & Argus is a name-check in what may be a modified press release [13]
• The Verge also seems to be a name check [14]
• CNN also seems to be a name check [15]
• BBC News has no byline and seems to be SEO PR or a modified press release or native advertising [16]
• Denzeen looks to be a blog post [17]
• CNN Business looks like paid placement [18]
• CNBC doesn't mention him at all [19]
• The Economic Times of India is showing up as a yellow alert in Headbomb's spam tool for unreliable sources [20]

I think I've taken care of all of these now, removed almost all of them and in a few places found a better source. I've left The Bartlett alumni link which is only there to support that he is an alumnus (i.e. haven't used anything from the interview). FreeMarsThen (talk) 16:39, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
