In this episode, ThinkLab interviews Amanda Schneider, president and founder of ThinkLab, and Jessica Jenkins, co-host of The Learning Objective and part of the research and development team at ThinkLab. Together, they discuss the findings of this year's design hackathon, sharing their aha moments. They dismantle assumptions about what other generations think Gen Zers want from their workplace — and use data and interviews to uncover what Gen Zers actually want, what inspires them, and how to capture their loyalty.   Accredited for: IDCEC | 0.5 CEU  Course number: 119305-1000 After listening, you will be able to:  Analyze how Gen Z is an arrow to the future of the design industry.  Contrast how the assumptions about Gen Z differ from what the data revealed.  Identify the five challenge areas for connecting with Gen Z.  Implement solutions for each of those five challenges.  In this episode, we dig into the findings of this year's design hackathon, which included a survey of more than 1,800 designers, as well as more than 20 hours of focus groups on these topics.  Specifically, we focus on the following challenge areas: culture, creativity, relationships, loyalty, and learning. Each area revealed crucial ways in which Gen Zers differs from previous generations. This ranged from the practical, such as which way they prefer to communicate (no calls, please!) to the more profound: Gen Zers consider both physical and digital to be part of one unbroken experience, instead of two distinct and separate ways to work. Alongside these insights, Schneider and Jenkins describe concrete actions that firms can take to integrate Gen Zers and take advantage of their fresh perspective.  Quiz: Want CEU credit for listening?

In this episode, presented by Mannington Commercial, ThinkLab interviews two experts in the emerging field of neuroaesthetics: Susan Magsamen, the director of Johns Hopkins' International Arts + Mind Lab, and Suchi Reddy, architect and founder of Reddymade. They explain how neuroaesthetics can provide clues about how our bodies respond to design on a biological level. ThinkLab also speaks with David Rockwell, founder of Rockwell Group, who discusses his multidisciplinary approach to design, creating memorable experiences blending both theater and architecture. Accredited for: IDCEC, AIA | 0.5 CEU/0.5 LU After listening, you will be able to: 1.    Identify what neuroaesthetics is and how it can be used in architecture and interiors. 2.    Examine projects where neuroaesthetics and biometric data were used to inform participants' unique experiences. 3.    Evaluate how you can use data and technology in projects to measure experience and influence outcomes. 4.    Point out the six ways that architecture can draw from theater in creating experience. Tune in as Magsamen and Reddy describe their unique exhibit, “A Space for Being,” hosted at Milan's Salone del Mobile design fair. Their team designed three separate spaces, each evoking a different emotional experience by using contrasting visuals, sounds, and smells. Visitors wore a custom wristband that recorded their biometric data to see where they felt most at ease — with surprising results. Magsamen and Reddy discuss how these sorts of insights can influence design thinking and how to use new technology to innovate. Then, Rockwell shares his own perspective on what matters most when creating an engaging experience, whether in designing interiors or theater set design. His focus is on how stories are told and places are formed, and for great design in both fields, he recommends asking how you want the audience to feel. He also looks to the future and discusses his expectations for new forms of public spaces that will appear after the pandemic. Quiz: Want CEU credit for listening?

In this episode, presented by 3form,ThinkLab digs into interviews Zackery Belanger, an expert in acoustic architecture and founder of Arcgeometer, to demystify how acoustics work in the built environment with an engaging discussion on how acoustics work in a space, how to measure them, and why there's a limit to how precise we can get – as well as what's next for the future of acoustics and the built environment.    Accredited for: IDCEC, AIA | 0.5 CEU/0.5 LU     After listening, you will be able to:    1.            Point out the “blurry” aspects of acoustics, such as the human perception of sound.  2.            Identify the precise tools and measurements available in acoustics.  3.            Outline when to bring in an expert and how to incorporate acoustic products.  4.            Evaluate how you can “design in the right direction” for the times you don't have access to an expert.  Tune in as Belanger explains the three main parameters for measuring sound: reverberation, level, and noise reduction coefficient (NRC). But just as importantly, he stresses that designers should consider the array of tools we have available as helpful guides, keeping in mind that there is no precise target to hit for a room to be successful.  Balenger also describes how auralization simulations work and how they can help designers before a room is even complete, talking listeners through clips of three simulations. And he encourages designers with recommendations on how to navigate the gray areas of acoustics and when to do so in the process.  Quiz: Want CEU credit for listening?
