🎙️ Listen to the IAC Podcast Episode #12: Legacy of Design: A Mother-Daughter Journey in Architecture, by Esther Sherman and Laura Sherman, AIA.
We are thrilled to announce the release of our new episode, where we delve into the inspiring world of immigrant architects.Â
Esther Sherman, originally from the Philippines, is currently a retired architect who previously worked at the University of Georgia. Despite her shift to handmade crafts post-retirement, she remains deeply connected to the architecture profession. Esther's architectural journey began in the early '70s when she earned her Bachelor's degree in Architecture at the University of the Philippines in 1975, earning her professional license in the mid-'70s. For over two decades, she practiced architecture in the Philippines while also teaching at the College of Architecture of the University of the Philippines.
In 1993, Esther and her husband, a US citizen, immigrated to the United States with their two kids in tow, seeking better opportunities. Upon arrival, Esther joined the University of Georgia, starting as a draftsman and later advancing to become a registered architect in Georgia in 2000. Her tenure at the university marked a significant chapter in her architectural career, where she contributed her expertise as an architectural designer.
Esther considers architecture a part of her being and also maintains a connection to the architecture community through her daughter, Laura Sherman, who is also an architect.
Born in the United States, Laura Sherman was raised in an environment rich with creativity and problem-solving, deeply influenced by her mother Esther's unwavering resilience and dedication to architecture and volunteering. Inspired by this upbringing, Laura pursued a career in architecture, her journey echoing her mother's ethos of resilience and commitment to the community.
Laura is currently a Project Architect at Gensler, passionate about adaptive reuse and community-oriented projects. Since graduating from Kennesaw State University, Laura has been heavily involved with the architecture community, stemming from the support of the Architecture Foundation of Georgia through her own education, to later serve on the board herself for three years.
In her current volunteer roles, Laura continues to champion the principles instilled in her by her mother, serving as the elected Georgia Statewide Representative to the national AIA Young Architects Forum and the emerging professionals director of her local AIA chapter.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
