A History of the Church through its Buildings (Oxford University Press, 2021) by Allan Doig takes the reader to meet people who lived through momentous religious changes in the very spaces where the story of the Church took shape. Buildings are about people, the people who conceived, designed, financed, and used them. Their stories become embedded in the very fabric itself, and as the fabric is changed through time in response to changing use, relationships, and beliefs, the architecture becomes the standing history of passing waves of humanity. This process takes on special significance in churches, where the arrangement of the space places members of the community in relationship with one another for the performance of the church's rites and ceremonies. Moreover, architectural forms and building materials can be used to establish relationships with other buildings in other places and other times. Coordinated systems of signs, symbols, and images proclaim beliefs and doctrine, and in a wider sense carry extended narratives of the people and their faith. Looking at the history of the church through its buildings allows us to establish a tangible connection to the lives of the people involved in some of the key moments and movements that shaped that history, and perhaps even a degree of intimacy with them. Standing in the same place where the worshippers of the past preached and taught, or in a space they built as a memorial, touching the stone they placed, or marking their final resting-place, holding a keepsake they treasured or seeing a relic they venerated, probably comes as close to a shared experience with these people as it is possible to come. Perhaps for a fleeting moment at such times their faces may come more clearly into focus.

En este episodio de En Defensa Propia, me senté a conversar con una mujer luminosa y transformadora: Merce Villegas. Autora del libro “Las 21 leyes del amor” e instructora de un curso de milagros, Merce nos recuerda que el amor propio no es un destino, es una práctica espiritual. En este encuentro hablamos sobre cómo podemos dejar atrás la culpa, el juicio y el miedo para vivir en plenitud desde el presente. Merce compartió su historia: una mujer que atravesó relaciones violentas, desconexión y dolor profundo, y que eligió transformar todo eso a través del perdón, la gratitud y una nueva forma de mirar la vida. ¿Y si el milagro fuera simplemente cambiar tu percepción? ¿Y si la espiritualidad no tuviera nada que ver con religión, sino con recordar quién realmente eres? Conversamos sobre cómo nos desconectamos de nuestra esencia por creencias que no nos pertenecen, por miedo y por repetir patrones familiares. Ella explicó cómo un curso de milagros no busca añadirnos nada, sino ayudarnos a desaprender lo que nos separa de nuestro verdadero ser: el amor. Aprendí que perdonar no es liberar al otro, es liberarme a mí. También hicimos un ejercicio práctico precioso para volver al presente: conectarnos con la respiración, con la gratitud y con la certeza de que somos luz. Porque como dice Merce, no se trata de cambiar al mundo, sino de inspirar con nuestra propia transformación. Este episodio está cargado de reflexiones que empoderan y herramientas para vivir con más consciencia, menos juicio y más compasión. Es una invitación a dejar de buscar afuera lo que siempre ha estado dentro de ti. Si alguna vez te has preguntado si hay otra manera de vivir, este episodio puede ser ese primer paso. Merce comparte cómo comenzar a estudiar este curso de forma digerible, con ejercicios, guía práctica y su plataforma online. No necesitas ser experta ni tener una vida “perfecta”, solo necesitas estar dispuesta a mirar hacia adentro y recordar que ya eres suficiente. Escúchalo hasta el final porque hay un regalo de conexión, un ejercicio poderoso que puedes hacer ahora mismo para reconectar contigo, con tu luz y con el milagro de estar viva. Hay experiencias que marcan un antes y un después en tu vida. Este retiro puede ser una de ellas. Del 28 al 31 de agosto de 2025, acompáñame en Playa del Carmen para vivir una transformación radical junto a la Dra. Shefali Tsabary. Será un encuentro exclusivo para mujeres en el hermoso hotel AIA, diseñado para reconectar contigo, soltar lo que ya no sirve y despertar a tu poder interior. Todo está incluido, solo necesitas llegar… y dejarte transformar.

The phrase “it's just a small project” has probably caused more confusion, blown more budgets, and strained more relationships than we'd care to admit. It sounds harmless, maybe even charming - the architectural equivalent of a quick favor. But that phrase carries weight. Because behind every modest addition, bathroom remodel, or garage conversion is the same professional rigor we apply to larger work … just without the benefit of scale. Whether it's fees that don't shrink as expected, construction costs that defy logic, or clients caught off guard by the number of decisions they'll need to make, these projects demand clarity, patience, and experience. So today, we're talking about what architects need to communicate, anticipate, and prepare for when the work is small but the expectations are not. Welcome to Episode 180: Size Doesn't Matter.  [Note: If you are reading this via email, click here to access the on-site audio player]  Architectural Fees Don't Scale jump to 3:50 One of the most misunderstood aspects of residential design is how architectural fees are determined. Many clients assume that a smaller project should result in a proportionally smaller fee. But architectural fees don't scale like that. A 400-square-foot addition still requires site measurements, code research, zoning analysis, (possibly) consultant coordination, and detailed documentation. Whether the project is 400 or 4,000 square feet, many of the baseline efforts remain the same. You still need floor plans, reflected ceiling plans, building sections, wall sections, electrical layouts, and coordination with structural engineers or energy consultants. And while the documentation may be shorter, the care and precision required to make a small project work can sometimes take even more time. For example, a kitchen renovation might involve more detail and coordination per square foot than an entire house. The AIA has published guidance on fee structures in the "Architect's Handbook of Professional Practice," (this is a book that I highly recommend) which notes that project complexity and risk should be used to help determine compensation, not just size. As architects, we must be clear in helping clients understand that fees represent time and expertise, not floor area. If you charge a fixed fee or percentage of construction cost, be sure to explain what that covers and what it doesn't. Helping clients see the value in pre-design services, permitting assistance, and construction observation can prevent misunderstandings later. Saving the best for last, just because it's a small project doesn't mean the liability is small. Professional risk remains, which means the time spent to get it right matters, regardless of scale. the post that I referenced in our discussions was this one ...*the penalty of drawing too much -  Excessive or Essential? The Entire Timeline jump to 9:43 Clients often think the timeline for a small project will be quick. And to be fair, the design phase might be shorter than that of a ground-up custom home. But that's only one piece of the puzzle. Permitting can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months, depending on the jurisdiction. In some cities, small additions are routed through full plan review just like new homes. And once the project is permitted, the construction timeline is subject to the availability of contractors and materials, site conditions, and even weather. It's our responsibility to help clients understand the full arc of the process. According to a 2023 survey from Houzz, the average design-to-completion timeline for a kitchen remodel is around 8-12 months, even when the construction itself only takes 2-3. Why the gap? Because there are lags built into the process. Design review boards, HOA approvals, contractor bidding windows, and permit review times all add up. When you add in backorders on appliances or materials, things can shift quickly. That's why it's so important to map out the process...

Desde que soy mamá de un adolescente, muchas cosas en mí han cambiado. He tenido que cuestionarme cómo estoy acompañando a mi hijo: ¿desde mis propias heridas o desde una comprensión real de lo que él necesita? En este episodio de En Defensa Propia, me acompañan dos mujeres increíbles que me han ayudado a ver la adolescencia desde un lugar más humano, científico y compasivo: la psiquiatra Marían Rojas Estapé y la neuropsicóloga Carina Castro Fumero. Hablamos de todo lo que está ocurriendo en el cerebro adolescente, de cómo se desarrolla la corteza prefrontal y de por qué nuestros hijos a veces parecen actuar como si no nos quisieran cerca. Entendí que no es rebeldía, es un cerebro en construcción que necesita límites, validación y muchísimo amor. Tocamos temas delicados pero urgentes como la ansiedad, el insomnio, la comparación en redes, las autolesiones y el ciberbullying. También hablamos del enorme impacto que tienen las pantallas y cómo debemos acompañar esa exposición desde casa. Una de las cosas más reveladoras de esta conversación fue comprender que la adolescencia no es solo una etapa difícil para nuestros hijos, también lo es para nosotros como padres. A veces se despierta nuestro niño herido, la culpa por lo que no hicimos o el miedo de repetir los mismos errores de nuestros padres. Pero no todo está perdido. Incluso si tu hijo ya tiene 16 años, siempre hay maneras de reconectar, de abrir canales de comunicación, de mostrar que estamos presentes sin invadir. También compartimos herramientas prácticas: cómo aprovechar momentos sin contacto visual para hablar de temas incómodos (como el sexo o la pornografía), cómo establecer reuniones familiares que fortalezcan la confianza y cómo poner límites sin castigar, sino enseñando. Marían y Karina insisten en que la mejor prevención es un sueño adecuado, una alimentación sana, menos pantallas y más deporte. Y sobre todo, escuchar sin interrumpir. Este episodio es una guía emocional para todos los padres que sienten que su hijo se les está yendo de las manos. Es también una invitación a sanar nuestra propia adolescencia para no educar desde el miedo ni la exigencia. Estoy segura de que esta conversación no solo te dará claridad, sino también esperanza. Porque al final, la adolescencia es una aventura compartida. Y si entendemos lo que nuestros hijos están viviendo, podemos acompañarlos con más amor, más paciencia y menos juicio. Hay experiencias que te marcan para siempre… y este retiro puede ser una de ellas.Del 28 al 31 de agosto de 2025, acompáñanos en Playa del Carmen, en el hotel AIA, a vivir una transformación profunda junto a la Dra.

It's a raw, eye-opening account of choices, their consequences, and the resilience it takes to survive a system stacked against you. Key Moments in this Episode:Why Angel avoided trial and negotiated plea deals to protect himself. The harsh prison hierarchy: race-based survival, violence, and constant power struggles. The emotional toll of missing family while in prison, especially during the holidays. How Angel used education to preserve his identity and sharpen his mind. The struggle to adjust to a world that has moved on without you. This episode isn't just about crime or punishment; it's about humanity. Angel's story forces us to reconsider what justice looks like, what prison really does to people, and how nearly impossible it is to start over after being swallowed by the system. Listen now and challenge your assumptions as you walk a mile in the shoes of someone still finding his way after decades of being locked up.

¡Hola, soy Erika de la Vega y te doy la bienvenida a un nuevo episodio de En Defensa Propia! Hoy vengo con un tema que me han pedido muchísimo: cómo renacer después de un divorcio. Este episodio es especial porque hablé con la increíble Elena Crespo, una abogada de familia y mujer empoderada que, desde su propia experiencia, me dio valiosos consejos sobre cómo podemos atravesar este proceso tan doloroso con madurez, dignidad y, lo más importante, transformarnos en una mejor versión de nosotras mismas. Si alguna vez has pasado por una separación o estás en medio de una, sabes lo difícil que es gestionar no solo el final de una relación, sino la reestructuración completa de tu vida. Elena me contó cómo ella vivió su propio proceso de divorcio, y lo más inspirador es cómo logró usar esa experiencia para crecer tanto profesional como personalmente. En este episodio, hablamos de cómo salir de esa etapa de dolor y dar paso a una nueva vida llena de posibilidades. Uno de los mensajes clave de Elena es que el divorcio no es el fin, sino el principio de una nueva etapa. Aunque la tristeza y el dolor son inevitables, también lo es la oportunidad de crecer, aprender y reconstruirse. Del divorcio se sale, pero hay que salir más fuerte, me dijo Elena, y esa frase me quedó grabada. Nadie te prepara para lo que implica una separación, pero sí se puede salir más empoderada, más sabia y más conectada contigo misma. Lo que más me tocó fue cuando Elena me dijo: "Los hijos estarán bien si la mamá y el papá están bien". Eso me hizo reflexionar profundamente sobre cómo nuestros hijos perciben nuestras emociones, nuestras decisiones y nuestra capacidad de adaptarnos al cambio. Para los padres que están pasando por una separación, este consejo es oro puro: no se trata solo de nosotros, sino también de cómo manejamos la situación por el bienestar de nuestros hijos. Si te encuentras atravesando un divorcio o una ruptura, te invito a escuchar este episodio y dejarte inspirar por la historia de Elena Crespo y su proceso de reinvención. ¡Te prometo que no te arrepentirás! No olvides suscribirte, compartir este episodio con quienes creas que lo necesitan y dejarme tus comentarios. Me encantaría saber cómo te ha ayudado este contenido en tu propio proceso.¡Nos vemos en el próximo episodio de En Defensa Propia!  ✨ Hay momentos que te cambian para siempre...Y este retiro puede ser uno de ellos. Acompáñanos del 28 al 31 de agosto de 2025 en Playa del Carmen en el hotel AIA, junto a la Dra. Shefali, en una experiencia transformadora solo para mujeres.Todo incluido, solo tienes que llegar… y dejarte transformar.

En esta poderosa entrevista con Pilar Sordo, hablamos sobre temas que nos tocan profundamente: vulnerabilidad, fortaleza, dolor, y resiliencia. Pilar, reconocida psicóloga y escritora, nos comparte su visión transformadora sobre cómo enfrentar nuestras emociones y aprender a gestionar las adversidades de la vida. Este episodio de En Defensa Propia es un viaje hacia la aceptación, el autoconocimiento y el crecimiento personal. Desde el principio, Pilar nos invita a reflexionar sobre la vulnerabilidad como una clave de fortaleza, un concepto que va en contra de las creencias tradicionales. ¿Cómo puede la vulnerabilidad convertirse en nuestro mayor poder? Pilar explica que aceptar nuestras emociones y mostrarnos tal como somos no solo nos permite sanar, sino también fortalecernos. Para ella, la verdadera fortaleza no radica en resistir el dolor, sino en dejarse atravesar por él, aceptarlo y transformarlo en una oportunidad para crecer. Uno de los puntos más reveladores de la entrevista es cómo el dolor y la incomodidad pueden ser los ingredientes esenciales para desarrollar resiliencia. Pilar nos habla sobre la importancia de vivir las emociones plenamente sin rechazar el sufrimiento. Según ella, el dolor es un proceso necesario para reconstruirnos y aprender a ser más fuertes desde adentro. En este proceso, la resiliencia no es algo con lo que nacemos, sino una habilidad que construimos enfrentando las dificultades de la vida con una mentalidad abierta y flexible. A lo largo de la conversación, Pilar también aborda temas como la relación entre generaciones y cómo los modelos de crianza pueden influir en nuestra forma de gestionar las emociones. Nos explica cómo generaciones pasadas, en su mayoría, no fueron educadas para conectar con el placer o la vulnerabilidad, sino que se enfocaron en la responsabilidad y el sacrificio, lo que afectó profundamente su bienestar emocional. Ahora, las generaciones más jóvenes tienen la oportunidad de romper estos patrones y aprender a equilibrar sus emociones de una manera más consciente y saludable. Pilar nos recuerda que pedir ayuda es un acto de valentía, no de debilidad. Reconocer cuando necesitamos apoyo y buscarlo es fundamental para nuestra salud mental. Además, nos habla sobre la importancia de reconocer y usar nuestra vulnerabilidad para crecer internamente, sin miedo a ser vistos como “débiles”. Este episodio es una invitación a hacer una pausa, reflexionar y aceptar lo que somos, lo que sentimos y lo que la vida nos trae. No te pierdas esta conversación transformadora con Pilar Sordo, donde aprenderás a gestionar el dolor, abrazar la vulnerabilidad y construir una fortaleza emocional duradera. Si estás buscando formas de mejorar tu bienestar emocional y aprender a vivir de manera más auténtica y resiliente, este episodio es para ti.  ✨ Hay momentos que te cambian para siempre...Y este retiro puede ser uno de ellos.

When High School Musical 2 premiered on Disney Channel in August 2007, it shattered records with over 17 million viewers tuning in on its first night — making it the most-watched cable movie at the time. Trading school hallways for summer jobs at a posh country club, the film dives deeper into the personal growth of its characters, especially Troy Bolton. As he's tempted by opportunities that could shape his future, he starts to drift from his friends and Gabriella, leading to heartfelt moments like “Gotta Go My Own Way” and the now-iconic (and meme-worthy) “Bet On It.” With a vibrant setting, high-energy choreography, and a soundtrack that defined a generation, the movie balances summer fun with themes of loyalty, ambition, and staying true to yourself. What sets High School Musical 2 apart from the original is its emotional depth and visual glow-up. From Sharpay's hilariously over-the-top “Fabulous” to the sun-soaked golf course showdowns, the movie feels bigger and bolder while still holding onto the sincerity that made the first film a hit. For many fans, it remains the best in the trilogy - not just for the catchy songs, but for how it captures the confusing transition between teenage fun and adult choices. At its core, it's a feel-good reminder that success means little if you lose yourself along the way.   Takeaways: Unlike the first movie, High School Musical 2 explores personal ambition and integrity. Troy's internal conflict between chasing opportunity and staying loyal to his friends adds emotional depth that resonates with viewers growing up alongside the characters. The entire movie takes place in a wealthy country club, with Troy and his friends working as staff while Sharpay enjoys every luxury. This creates a visible tension between socioeconomic classes - particularly when Troy is offered elite opportunities at the expense of his peer group. The summer setting shows that learning and personal growth don't pause when school is out. How we support students in extended learning environments (internships, summer programs, real-world exposure) can have lasting impact. Gabriella choosing to walk away from what doesn't align with her values is a powerful example of student agency. When schools give students meaningful choices in their learning and extracurriculars, they're more likely to take ownership of their growth.     About Erin Jennings, IIDA, AIA, NCIDQ, NCARB: Erin Jennings, IIDA, AIA, NCIDQ, NCARB is an Architect, Registered Interior Designer, and Principal for Luminaut, believing that design is just as much about the way something looks as it is about how it functions. Her commitment to that philosophy has yielded the award-winning designs of numerous university, library, and k-12 projects. Her design efforts are motivated by a desire to create conscious impact on the end-user experience. Community environments are the spaces in which Erin's leadership skills and her interdisciplinary approach have had the most positive influence on the greatest number of people.  She's highly involved in industry and community organizations both regionally and nationally, and through regular attendance and speaking engagements at thought-leadership conferences.  She currently serves on advisory boards, closely monitors building trends, space planning techniques, and continually studies and tests innovative products, all while keeping the protection of the public at the forefront of mind. As the Immediate Past President of the International Board of Directors for CIDQ, she closely collaborates with industry regulatory partners from NCARB, CLARB, and NCEES.  She has demonstrated industry advocacy experience as a Past President for the IIDA Indiana Chapter and Past Chair for the AIA National Interior Architecture Knowledge Community.  She's knowledgeable, meticulous, and advocates relentlessly on behalf of her clients and their end-users. Erin's continued deep-rooted passion subsists in mentoring young professionals, and most recently, teaching students in the collegiate setting. As an Adjunct Instructor of Interior Design at the College of Architecture & Planning at Ball State University, she strives to bridge the disciplines of architecture and interior design, not to advocate that one can do another, but to advocate the value-add when the two work in harmony with one another.  Erin has committed her life and career to advancing the design industry. From her dual degreed experience at Ball State, to the licensing and certification process for both interior design and architecture, she strives to engage at the highest level. Her main focus: Fostering passion and compassion through elevating the human experience within the built learning environment.     Learn More About Erin Jennings, IIDA, AIA, NCIDQ, NCARB: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/erin-jennings-iida-aia-ncidq-ncarb-3a23b111/   Learn More About Luminaut: Website: https://luminaut.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/luminautarchitecture/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/luminaut/       Connect with Host, Carla Cummins: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/carla-cummins-01449659/   Learn More About Kay-Twelve: Website: https://kay-twelve.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/kay-twelve-com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kay_twelve/       Episode 238 of the Better Learning Podcast Kevin Stoller is the host of the Better Learning Podcast and Co-Founder of Kay-Twelve, a national leader for educational furniture.

Have you ever wondered what it feels like to be hunted? In this raw and eye-opening episode, Justin Yentes sits down with former Mexican Mafia member Angel Garcia to unpack how it feels to live under constant surveillance, face federal indictment, and go through the justice system. Angel doesn't hold back, because he's lived every part of it: the drug deals, the betrayal, the wiretaps, the courtroom pressure, and the soul-searching that comes after arrest. In this episode we uncover: The dramatic way feds arrest criminals How agents use wiretaps, informants, and surveillance to build casesWhy inmates often study the law (hint: it's not to follow it) This is more than a true crime story. It's about systems—legal, social, personal—and how survival sometimes means knowing how to play the game. If you've ever wondered what happens between the headlines or what it takes to navigate the justice system from the inside, this conversation is for you.

En este episodio de En Defensa Propia conversé con Sabrina Murillo, una mujer que vivió una tragedia que parecía final, pero que se convirtió en el verdadero comienzo de su historia. Una historia de transformación, resiliencia y propósito. Hace unos años, Sabrina fue protagonista de un accidente terrible en el que un carro cayó desde el cuarto piso de un estacionamiento en la ciudad de Panamá. En ese vehículo iban su papá, su hermana menor, su novio… y ella. El resultado fue devastador: su familia falleció y a Sabrina la dieron por muerta. Pero el milagro ocurrió. Un vecino médico notó que aún respiraba, la intubó en el lugar y comenzó así su largo camino de recuperación. En esta conversación, Sabrina cuenta con una claridad que conmueve cómo fue reconstruirse desde cero, no solo físicamente—quedó parapléjica—sino emocional, mental y espiritualmente. Estuvo en coma inducido, con traqueotomía, múltiples cirugías, perdió parte del cráneo y tuvo que volver a aprenderlo todo: hablar, escribir, incluso comer. Pero lo más impactante fue cómo eligió no verse como víctima, sino convertirse en protagonista de su vida. "Nadie puede cambiar tu forma de pensar, es una decisión propia", me dijo. Y esa frase se me quedó grabada. Durante la entrevista, Sabrina habla del duelo, la culpa del sobreviviente y cómo pasó del “¿por qué a mí?” al “¿para qué?”. Encontró en el amor de su madre, su comunidad y la fe, las herramientas para empezar a sanar. A pesar de los pronósticos médicos que aseguraban que viviría en estado vegetal o totalmente dependiente, hoy es independiente, maneja su auto, hace crossfit adaptado y ha corrido la media maratón de Miami cuatro veces en silla de ruedas. Pero eso no es todo. Sabrina también decidió estudiar comunicación y administración, se certificó en logoterapia y hoy es conferencista, escritora, creadora de contenido y conductora del podcast "Así lo vivo yo", donde comparte su historia y las de otros que, como ella, han transformado la adversidad en propósito. Este episodio es una invitación a dejar de resistirte al cambio, a enfocarte en lo que sí tienes y a reconocer el poder que hay en servir a otros. Como ella dice, “la gratitud me salvó”. Y esa fue una de las lecciones más potentes de esta conversación: cuando agradeces lo que tienes, dejas de enfocarte en lo que te falta. Gracias, Sabrina, por recordarnos el poder de la resiliencia y por vivir tu vida en defensa propia. ✨ Hay momentos que te cambian para siempre...Y este retiro puede ser uno de ellos. Acompáñanos del 28 al 31 de agosto de 2025 en Playa del Carmen en el hotel AIA, junto a la Dra. Shefali, en una experiencia transformadora solo para mujeres.Todo incluido, solo tienes que llegar… y dejarte transformar.

Centromarca lavora a un pacchetto di proposte da presentare in autunno al Governo, con quattro priorità: competitività e innovazione, semplificazione burocratica, transizione ecologica, tutela della proprietà intellettuale e della concorrenza. Francesco Mutti, presidente dell'associazione, sottolinea la necessità di riforme normative per rilanciare la manifattura, ancora frenata da incertezze regolatorie e costi energetici elevati. Obiettivo: una politica industriale chiara e una strategia di medio-lungo termine per uscire da due anni di calo dei consumi. Ne parliamo proprio con Francesco Mutti (nella foto) amministratore delegato di Mutti SpA e presidente di Centromarca,L'industria della musica dal vivo in Italia vale 4,5 miliardiIl settore dei concerti dal vivo genera un indotto economico di 4,5 miliardi di euro e impiega migliaia di persone. Roberto De Luca (Live Nation) e Carlo Parodi (Assomusica) chiedono meno burocrazia e più riconoscimento per un'industria che attira turismo e fa crescere il PIL locale. Milano ha accolto 15mila stranieri solo per i Coldplay. Secondo SIAE, la spesa del pubblico nel 2023 ha superato i 4,2 miliardi, trainata da musica pop e rock. La spesa media per spettatore è di 324 euro. Ne parliamo insieme a Carlo Parodi Presidente di Assomusica, Associazione Italiana Organizzatori e Produttori di Spettacoli di Musica dal vivo Produzione avanti adagio: +0,3% annuo, +1% mensile. Auto in caduta a -30%Ad aprile la produzione industriale torna in positivo (+0,3% annuo, +1% mensile), ma resta fragile. La manifattura pura cala ancora (-0,1%), penalizzata da farmaceutica e trasporti, mentre crescono alimentari, chimica e metalli. Il comparto auto registra un crollo del 30%. Sul fronte Ilva, il Governo valuta un ulteriore finanziamento (fino a 350 milioni) per garantirne l'operatività, in attesa di un accordo di programma e una nuova AIA. Resta aperto il nodo dei futuri acquirenti. Il commento è di Paolo Bricco Il Sole 24 OreLa Perla, "il salvatore" è il miliardario statunitense Peter KernLo storico brand La Perla viene rilevato da Peter Kern per 30 milioni, superando vari contendenti. L'intervento evita la chiusura dello stabilimento di Bologna e rilancia la produzione made in Italy con un piano da 30 milioni di investimenti. Il nuovo corso prevede l'assunzione dei dipendenti e l'arrivo di 40 nuovi posti. Tuttavia, secondo Giulia Crivelli, il caso non è un modello per il salvataggio della moda italiana, criticando la gestione passata e la scelta di un investitore americano.

There's a moment in almost every architect's career where the idea first surfaces—quietly at first, then louder over time: What if I started my own firm? Maybe it's the itch for creative freedom, maybe it's frustration with someone else's decisions, or maybe it's just the instinct to build something of your own. I've had this conversation more times than I can count—at desks, on job sites, over drinks after a long day. It's a topic that stirs up excitement, fear, pride, and possibility all at once. Today, we're stepping into that mindset—the leap, the hustle, the vision behind doing your own thing. Welcome to Episode 177: Hanging Out Your Shingle [Note: If you are reading this via email, click here to access the on-site audio player]  We have a special guest to assist us with discussing today's topic. Joining us is Daniel Istrate, AIA — a licensed architect and co-founder of Kontexture, a Phoenix-based architecture firm with a growing international presence. Originally from Romania, Daniel moved to the United States as a teenager and went on to earn his architecture degree from the University of Arizona, with studies that also included Italian, Literature, and a minor in studio arts. He began his career at a small local firm, later navigating the challenges of the 2008 recession while gaining experience at a large national practice. But like many of us, he felt the pull toward something more personal, and in 2013, he made the leap, leaving a stable job to start his firm with longtime friend and collaborator Jorge Toscano. Since then, Kontexture has grown to include two offices - one in Phoenix and another in Hermosillo, Mexico - and in 2018, they expanded into construction by launching a design-build company. Daniel is joining us today to discuss betting on yourself, building with intention, and creating a firm from the ground up - all themes at the heart of today's topic. Let's start at the moment just before you decided to launch your own firm - what pushed that decision from a long-time idea into something real?  The first time I played with the idea of opening a firm with another colleague from the first firm I was working at was in 2007 right before the recession.  We quickly realized that was not good timing so we decided against it.  Looking back that was a really good thing, I was only two years out of school and still very green.  After weathering the recession at Smithgroup and getting licensed while there, I started taking on some side work.  I got an offer from another firm to move there as the principal was thinking of retiring soon and was looking to have someone take over.  After being there for a year, on a Friday night at 1:00 am while still at the office I decided that this is the time.  I already had a steady stream of clients and projects that I was doing on the side (moonlighting)  Binkowitz Residence - Kontexture You didn't start Kontexture alone - can you talk a bit about that partnership and how you and Jorge divided up the early responsibilities?  I started Kontexture with Jorge whom I met while we were both in first year at the U of A.  We always talked about starting a firm together, even while in college.  Early on we were each responsible for our own projects, from early meetings with clients, to design, construction documents, Construction Administration, etc.  But we have identified early what each of our strengths were and we worked off of that.  Jorge is a stronger designer and I am more technical.   Marigold Dispensary - Kontexture When you first opened your doors - how did you find work? Did you chase the kind of projects you wanted, or take what came?  We started the firm with about 20 small projects that we were both working on, on the side.  Once we started the phone kept ringing and we kept getting work based on recommendations from engineers we were collaborating with, contractors and most important, the clients we had were recommending us.

In this episode, Cherise is joined by Emily Ray, AIA, Project Architect at Wheeler Kearns Architects in Chicago and AIA Chicago 2024 Dubin Family Young Architect Award winner.

Please take up space—because if you wait for the perfect moment, you may never begin.” “Even small, everyday actions can make someone feel seen and valued—and that makes a big difference.” “My story begins in India, where I was raised in a household deeply influenced by design. My father is an architect and an urban designer, so I was surrounded by drawings, construction sites, and conversations about design.” “I was struck by the messy beauty of Indian urban life.” “As a first-generation immigrant, navigating a new country, new people, new experiences—it was exciting... and kind of scary.” “India is like a melting pot of different cultures and settlements. I realized how good design can elevate your life—by giving access to resources like healthcare and education.” “This role of design was highlighted for me early on, and I knew I wanted to help people shape their lives through it.” “Given how the world is changing—with data science, sustainability, and public policy touching everything—I wanted to explore how those forces impact design.”

How can architects redefine experience through storytelling and space?This week on Practice Disrupted, Evelyn Lee talks with Kate Aoki, architect, educator, and founding partner of Golden Egg Creative, to explore how designers can blend architecture, storytelling, and community to create immersive, intentional experiences. With a career path that's taken her through fine arts, museum design, architecture firms, and now entrepreneurship, Kate shares what it means to craft spaces not just for use, but for memory, meaning, and delight.Kate opens up about her nonlinear journey, starting with a degree in textile design, before eventually returning to her lifelong goal of becoming an architect. Along the way, she worked in galleries, lived abroad, and built a foundation in public and nonprofit spaces. Her deep love for fine art and interpretive design led her back to the Dallas Museum of Art as Head of Exhibition Design, fulfilling a long-held dream. But after four years, she realized the bureaucracy of nonprofit work wasn't a long-term fit. What came next was a leap into co-founding Golden Egg, a firm focused on designing transformative experiences rooted in cultural storytelling and visitor connection.Evelyn and Kate discuss what it takes to launch a niche practice, how to build authentic partnerships with architects and civic institutions, and why experience design is growing in relevance across sectors. Whether developing mobile exhibits for aerospace education or reimagining museum installations, Kate brings a holistic and thoughtful approach to every detail, from lighting and circulation to the words on the wall.“This felt like putting on a pair of shoes that fit perfectly. It's the kind of work I've always been meant to do - blending fine art, architecture, and storytelling into experiences that connect people to something larger than themselves.” – Kate AokiThe episode concludes with reflections on growth, creative courage, and how designers can prototype career pivots by following their curiosity and leaning into interdisciplinary collaboration.Guest:Kate Aoki, AIA, NOMA, is an architect and founding partner at Golden Egg Creative, a design firm specializing in exhibition and experience design.

In this episode, we're diving into the wildly popular teen comedy Superbad — one of the most iconic (and ridiculous) high school movies out there. As part of our series on school-related films, we're looking at what Superbad got right about the student experience, what it totally blew out of proportion, and why it still hits home for so many people. Superbad follows two inseparable best friends, Seth and Evan, as they navigate their final days of high school — chasing parties, popularity, and one last shot at leaving their mark before graduation. Beneath all the chaos and crude humor is a surprisingly real look at teenage friendship, insecurity, and the awkward (and often hilarious) leap into adulthood — a sneak peek at one of the hot takes from our episode! We unpack the awkwardness, social dynamics, and over-the-top moments — and ask what it all says about how pop culture portrays school life. It's part movie breakdown, part education lens, and all about what we can learn (and laugh at) when Hollywood takes on high school. What does it say about student relationships, social dynamics, and the overall high school experience? How do movies like this shape the way we think about education — and how students think about themselves? We're not taking it too seriously (it is Superbad, after all), but we are looking at what educators and school leaders can learn from how pop culture reflects — and distorts — the real student experience.     Takeaways: Superbad, like many teen comedies, exaggerates for laughs, but it also influences how students, parents, and even educators view the high school experience. Behind the chaos and crude humor, Superbad highlights a very real truth: students crave meaningful friendships and validation during a time of major life transitions. While Superbad doesn't show much of the classroom environment, it reminds us how much of student life happens in between classes — in the social spaces. It's a good reminder that learning environments need to be designed for connection, mobility, and authenticity. Laughing at the awkwardness and absurdity of adolescence helps us connect to students' experiences. Movies like Superbad give us an opportunity to talk about real issues — like peer pressure, insecurity, and self-discovery — in a more approachable way.       About Nick Duffy Nick has spent nearly 20 years in education with over a decade as a school principal, focused on serving and leading students, staff, and systems in the Eastern Iowa area.

In this episode of Archispeak, we're joined by Jessica Orlando, Vice President and President-Elect of the AIA Pasadena Foothill chapter, to explore how architects are stepping up in the aftermath of the recent Altadena and Palisades wildfires in Southern California. Jessica shares how the AIA's volunteer-led “Ask an Architect” initiative is connecting displaced residents with licensed professionals to help guide them through the overwhelming process of rebuilding—many for the first time.We discuss the powerful role architects can play in disaster response, the challenges of balancing speed with resilience in permitting and design, and the implications of relaxed regulations in the name of urgency. Jessica also walks us through what's happening on the ground, including policy shifts, modular and prefab strategies, bulk material purchasing efforts, and the surprising silver linings some homeowners are finding in being able to reimagine what “home” means.This conversation highlights the profession's unique ability to lead with empathy, share knowledge, and organize in the face of crisis—and why this moment is an opportunity for all of us to do better, together.Episode Links:AIAPF websiteAIAPF on LinkedInAIAPF on InstagramAIAPF Resources for HomeownersDiscounted AIA Contracts for architects working on fire rebuilds ($51 each)Jessica Orlando on LinkedIn-----Have a question for the hosts?

We have come to a tipping point in the business of design. The point of no return. There has been a debate about form following function since architect Louis Sullivan coined the term. A protege named Frank Lloyd Wright once said, “Form follows function, that has been misunderstood. Form and function should be one, joined in a spiritual union.” This will most likely not go over well with the most ardent FLW supporters and fans, but I believe Wright misunderstood this as well. Sullivan suggested that form following function meant the design should speak to the intended purpose of a structure and not simply be reflective of historical design, ornamentation or precedents. I won't speak for anyone but myself when I say that I have toured a number of Wright's works and I don't agree with his take on form following function. This will and should be debated, but not today. Today, we are going to focus on how form must follow function, or the project won't perform. Designer Resources Pacific Sales Kitchen and Home. Where excellence meets expertise. Design Hardware - A stunning and vast collection of jewelry for the home!  - Where service meets excellence TimberTech - Real wood beauty without the upkeep Today, you are going to hear from Parini Mehta, AIA LEED AP, Tanner Clapham, AIA and Michael Stebbins, AIA from CO Architects. CO Architects, a firm dedicated to perpetual innovation and continual improvement through collaboration. This is a firm dedicated to creating lasting impact through design and the following conversation is evidence of that. This conversation is about the collaborative nature of an architecture firm that allows their architects to work on different types of projects and share their typology specialty while learning new ones in real time. We are discussing; education architecture, healthcare, medical facilities, laboratory architecture, research and exploring the idea of future-proofing structures from affects of both seen and unseen factors. I'm so appreciative for this opportunity to explore these ides with the incredible creatives. Since 2017, Convo By Design has been featuring peer-to-peer conversations from showrooms across the country. This one was recorded live from Design Hardware in Los Angeles.  There has always been a deep divide between residential and commercial architecture. While I won't rant about it today. Since the days of Julia Allison focused on the rise to celebrity through internet fame, we as a society have been discussing design and architecture through social value, not performative value. When you see your favorite design publication of website feature the latest celebrity home, you fill find that not much attention, if any has been focused on the performative value of the space. Much of what we see is about materiality, aesthetic, brands and it's usually focused on a celebrity. And that's fine. Design porn is not new, but it also doesn't do much for moving the conversation forward. What conversation? How do top tier architects and the firms that employ them focus on commercial design, and create form that follows function in an environment where the function not only matters, but is critical to the success of the project? That is the conversation we should be having. And we are. You are going to hear it, right after this. Designer Resources Pacific Sales Kitchen and Home. Where excellence meets expertise.

Risk is real in the AEC. True risk management isn't about avoidance, but about informed engagement.Homes and buildings today measure success in many ways, each of these represent a potential failure mode. Managing risk means recognizing and embracing it, this is a core message from our guest today. Joe Basham is a seasoned construction industry attorney with decades of experience, a keen mind, clever wit and the ability to cut to the heart of the matter.Join Kristof and Joe as they delve into the critical role of risk management in the design and construction process and unpack real world ways to navigate challenges with demanding clients, the importance of clear contracts, the power of proactive project management. The discussion also focuses on the impact of new project delivery methods, the rising costs of professional liability insurance and evolving liability concerns in the larger context. Discover how architects are adapting by focusing on design leadership, leveraging consultants, clear contract language and the importance of having open and respectful relationships with all stakeholders.
