Behavior analysts talk about the environment. Ximena Valle designs it.Ximena Valle, AIA, LEED AP, founding principal of FIFTEEN Architecture + Design, joins Liat to break down what really goes into designing for neurodiverse communities, and it's a lot more than ramps and sensory rooms. We talk spaces that make you feel like an animal versus ones that feel like a spa, paint blends that stop kids from peeling the walls, and arranging furniture to keep clients engaged. Ximena breaks down how color and layout shape behavior, how bad design burns out staff too, and what BCBAs and educators can steal for their own classrooms and therapy rooms.Connect with Ximena:fifteenarch.comLinkedIn Connect with Behavior BitchesInsta: @behaviorbitchespodcastFacebook: Behavior Bitches PodcastWebsite: BehaviorBitches.comContact Us: For podcast inquiries, episode ideas, or just to say hi, email us at behaviorbitches@studynotesaba.com Leave us a 5-star review in the Apple Podcast App so we can read it to everyone during our episodes and make us super happy!Looking for BCBA Exam Prep or CEUs?• Whether you need help passing the BCBA exam or are looking to earn CEUs, Study Notes ABA has you covered.

There's no business like the architecture business, and the AIA chose out first guest Carole Wedge as CEO to lead their 98,000 members. Architects Julia Jamrozik and Coryn Kempster make cool swing sets and pipe installations - and they wrote a book about kids who grew up in Modernist houses. Darcy Frank MacKay is one of those lucky kids. She grew up in a 17,000-square-foot Pittsburgh house with a rooftop dance floor, an indoor swimming pool, and furniture designed by none other than Walter Gropius and Marcel Breuer.
L'ex amministratore delegato di Autostrade per l Italia, Giovanni Castellucci, è stato condannato a 12 anni di reclusione per il crollo del Ponte Morandi avvenuto il 14 agosto 2018. È questa la sentenza di primo grado emessa dai giudici del Tribunale di Genova. L'ex numero uno di Aspi sta già scontando una condanna per la strage del viadotto di Monteforte Irpino (Avellino) del 2013, in cui perirono 40 persone. I giudici Paolo Lepri (presidente), Ferdinando Baldini e Fulvio Polidori, hanno anche condannato a 11 anni Michele Donferri Mitelli (ex numero tre di Aspi), per cui il pm aveva chiesto 15 anni e sei mesi. Si conclude così un processo in primo grado che si è snodato in 287 udienze. Alla sbarra, in attesa delle decisioni dei giudici , 57 imputati, tra i quali Giovanni Castellucci che, ai tempi del disastro, era amministratore delegato di Autostrade per l Italia. Per gli imputati, i Pm hanno chiesto 400 anni di carcere complessivi e un assoluzione. E la pena più alta, 18 anni e sei mesi, era stata chiesta proprio per l ex ad. Ne parliamo con Raoul de Forcade, Il Sole 24 Ore.Quando la difesa diventa infrastrutturaIl vertice NATO di Ankara ha confermato che il rafforzamento della difesa europea non passa soltanto dall'acquisto di sistemi d'arma, ma anche dalla disponibilità di capacità produttiva, reti logistiche, comunicazioni sicure e infrastrutture in grado di continuare a funzionare sotto pressione. È questo il significato più ampio della resilienza: non solo respingere una minaccia, ma impedire che un attacco, un sabotaggio o un'interruzione prolungata paralizzino il funzionamento di un Paese. Il quadro di riferimento resta quello fissato al vertice NATO dell'Aia del giugno 2025 e riconfermato ad Ankara: gli alleati si sono impegnati a portare la spesa complessiva al 5% del PIL entro il 2035, di cui almeno il 3,5% per la difesa in senso stretto e fino all'1,5% per spese di difesa e sicurezza allargata che comprendono esplicitamente la protezione delle infrastrutture critiche, la difesa delle reti, la resilienza civile e il rafforzamento della base industriale.Una rete elettrica, per esempio, non è un sistema d'arma, ma senza elettricità non funzionano basi militari, ospedali, telecomunicazioni, data center, aeroporti, porti, ferrovie, industrie e sistemi di pagamento. Le reti europee sono già sottoposte a investimenti significativi per sostenere l'elettrificazione, l'integrazione delle fonti rinnovabili e la crescente domanda dei data center; a queste esigenze si aggiunge ora la necessità di proteggere il sistema da blackout, cyberattacchi, sabotaggi e shock energetici. Approfondiamo il tema con Giacomo Calef, co-fondatore di Rheos Partners.Troppo caldo: in Italia a rischio 126 miliardi di Pil in 5 anniIl caldo estremo è ormai un rischio strutturale crescente soprattutto per l'Europa e in particolare per i Paesi del Sud Europa. Dal 1980 a oggi, gli eventi di stress termico sono aumentati di sette volte, mentre la mortalità media per evento è quintuplicata. L'Europa concentra un numero elevato di vittime: Italia, Francia, Spagna e Germania rappresentano insieme circa il 50% dei decessi globali legati alle ondate di calore registrati nel database analizzato. L'Italia da sola pesa per circa il 18% della mortalità mondiale censita. Secondo lo studio di Allianz Trade, oltre la soglia dei 30°C gli effetti economici del caldo peggiorano rapidamente. Ogni grado aggiuntivo tra 30°C e 35°C riduce la produzione oraria media di circa il 3%, mentre il consumo energetico aumenta dell'1,2% per grado a causa della maggiore domanda di raffrescamento. Gli economisti di Allianz Trade sottolineano che l'Europa è particolarmente vulnerabile perché dispone ancora di una diffusione limitata dell'aria condizionata: circa il 19% delle abitazioni contro il 90% degli Stati Uniti. Nello scenario elaborato per il periodo 2026-2030 basato sulla ripetizione degli anni più caldi registrati nell'ultimo decennio i costi macroeconomici risultano molto elevati. Le perdite cumulative di PIL potrebbero raggiungere: 206 miliardi di euro in Francia; 126 miliardi di euro in Italia; 112 miliardi di euro in Germania; 103 miliardi di euro in Spagna. Per Italia, Francia e Spagna ciò equivale a una riduzione cumulativa del PIL compresa tra il 5% e il 7% rispetto allo scenario climatico storico. Ne parliamo con Andrea Resteghini, Head of Credit Underwriting ( capo dei rischi ) Italia e MMEA Allianz Trade.«Dazi, tariffe illegali» e gli Usa rimborsano alle aziende 81 miliardiDonald Trump aveva promesso che i superdazi avrebbero riportato le fabbriche in America, ridotto il deficit federale e costretto il resto del mondo a negoziare alle condizioni di Washington. Ma la realtà dei conti pubblici si sta rivelando molto diversa. Il Tesoro americano ha rivelato di aver già restituito 81 miliardi di dollari alle aziende che avevano versato dazi poi dichiarati illegittimi dalla Corte Suprema. È la prima volta che vengono quantificati i rimborsi già effettuati, una cifra enorme che cancella una parte consistente degli incassi ottenuti con la politica protezionistica dell'Amministrazione Trump e contribuisce ad allargare il profondo rosso del bilancio federale.Negli Usa il contraccolpo delle scelte di Trump è forte e si avverte soprattutto sul piano giuridico e fiscale. I rimborsi riguardano i cosiddetti dazi del «Liberation Day» annunciati da Trump nell'aprile del 2025 e imposti sulla base dell'International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), una legge del 1977 che attribuisce al presidente poteri straordinari in caso di emergenza nazionale. La Casa Bianca sosteneva che gli squilibri commerciali costituivano un'emergenza tale da giustificare un dazio minimo di almeno il 10% sulle importazioni provenienti da quasi tutto il mondo, accompagnato da tariffe molto più elevate nei confronti di numerosi partner commerciali, a partire dalla Cina. Lo scorso febbraio, però, la Corte Suprema, con una maggioranza di sei giudici contro tre, ha stabilito che quella legge non autorizzava il presidente a imporre una tassa generalizzata sulle importazioni. Secondo i giudici, Trump aveva oltrepassato i limiti dei poteri affidatigli dal Congresso e l'Amministrazione è stata chiamata a restituire alle imprese il denaro già incassato. I nuovi dati del Tesoro mostrano per la prima volta l'entità dei rimborsi già effettuati. Dall'inizio dell'anno fiscale il governo ha restituito 81 miliardi di dollari, contro i circa 5 miliardi che vengono normalmente rimborsati ogni anno per contenziosi e rettifiche doganali. Approfondiamo il tema con Massimo Fabio, Partner KPMG, EMEA Regional Leader Trade & Customs services.

This week on Better Buildings for Humans, host Joe Menchefski welcomes architect, builder, real estate broker, and entrepreneur Jonathan Wolk, founder and CEO of WOLK360, for a thought-provoking conversation about reimagining the way buildings are designed, purchased, and constructed. Drawing on decades of experience across architecture, construction, and real estate, Jonathan explains why the traditional separation of these disciplines often creates unnecessary friction, inefficiencies, and missed opportunities—and how a more integrated approach can lead to better outcomes for clients, communities, and the built environment.The discussion explores everything from design-build delivery and client relationships to housing renovations, sustainable construction, daylighting, waste reduction, and the growing complexity of modern building projects. Jonathan shares how involving design, construction, and real estate expertise from the earliest stages of a project can help avoid costly mistakes, preserve design intent, improve project execution, and create buildings that truly reflect the needs and aspirations of the people who use them.The conversation also dives into broader questions about sustainability, building performance, modular construction, material selection, and what makes architecture meaningful beyond simple cost calculations. Along the way, Jonathan offers insights into the emotional side of building projects, the importance of natural light, and why great buildings should do more than provide shelter—they should enhance the lives of the people who experience them every day. It's an engaging look at how a holistic, human-centered approach to design and construction can create buildings that are not only more efficient and sustainable, but also more inspiring, functional, and deeply connected to the people they serve.More About Jonathan WolkJonathan Wolk, AIA is a licensed architect, real estate broker, and unlimited licensed general contractor in North Carolina.

In this episode of SPACES, Dimitrius speaks with Andrew Goodwin, AIA, founder of AGD, about the evolving role of the architect in a profession being reshaped by technology, entrepreneurship, education, and social responsibility.Andrew shares how his career has moved between traditional practice, public interest design, teaching, publishing, nonprofit work, and firm leadership—and why he believes architects can no longer rely on outdated definitions of the profession. Instead of returning to the old idea of the “master builder,” Andrew makes the case for the architect as a master entrepreneur, advocate, communicator, educator, and citizen leader.The conversation explores how liability narrowed the role of architects, how design-build and integrated delivery may be shifting it again, and how AI is forcing schools and firms to rethink what future architects actually need to learn. Andrew also discusses building AGD around purpose, innovation, remote flexibility, community engagement, and a commitment to doing good first.It's a conversation about architecture as a practice, but also as a platform—for storytelling, leadership, service, advocacy, and impact.In this episode:Why the architect's role needs to expand beyond traditional servicesHow AI may reshape architectural education and early-career practiceWhat students should understand about entrepreneurship and businessHow storytelling and communication help clients understand designWhy purpose, innovation, and social impact are central to AGD's workHow architects can define their own path instead of inheriting an outdated oneAs discussed:AGD Architecture + DesignDisrupted: The Architecture ProfessionMetamorphosis of the Future ArchitectIf you enjoy our content, you can check out similar content from our fellow creators at Gābl Media.Spaces Podcast Spaces Podcast websiteLYNES // Gābl MediaAll rights reserved

How can architects transition from marginal innovation to true business transformation, and what does it look like to run a diversified, AI-native practice that prioritizes attention over productivity?In this Season 12 Finale of Practice Disrupted, the tables are turned as host Evelyn Lee steps into the hot seat. Instead of interviewing an industry guest, Evelyn is interviewed by Sage, her own AI chief of staff, in a dynamic conversation that pushes past traditional scripts to explore the cutting edge of architectural practice.Evelyn reflects on her post-presidency transition from focusing on "innovation" to pursuing true "transformation," explaining how running a diversified, resilient portfolio model protects her business from market volatility. She pulls back the curtain on her exact four-tier AI agent stack, demonstrating how a sole proprietor can leverage technology to handle workloads that would traditionally require multiple people to run. Rather than chasing sheer productivity, Evelyn reveals why her system is intentionally built to protect human focus and relationship building.The conversation moves deep into business model design, architectural education, and macro industry shifts. Evelyn discusses her course at the University of Michigan, arguing that business model thinking is a critical design craft rather than a betrayal of architecture. She also addresses the accelerating wave of private equity acquisitions in the AEC sector, urging smaller firms to consider proactive consolidation on their own terms. Finally, Evelyn shares personal reflections on leading publicly as an introvert and balancing transformational industry work with raising her family."Business model thinking is a craft and not necessarily a betrayal of design work." - Evelyn LeeThis episode serves as a powerful blueprint for any practitioner looking to treat their firm as a design problem and build a resilient, forward-looking business.Guests:Evelyn Lee is the founder of Practice of Architecture and a past president of the AIA. As a pioneer in architecture firm operations, technology integration, and business strategy, she balances institutional leadership with hands-on advisory work, teaching at the University of Michigan, and building AI-native operating models for the next generation of practitioners.This episode is especially for you if:✅ You want to know the precise architecture of a four-tier AI agent stack used to run a modern, diversified advisory business.✅ You are curious about how to shift from billing hourly to positioning your architecture firm as a high-value strategic partner.✅ You want to understand the accelerating impact of private equity on AEC firms and why succession planning is critical for survival.✅ You believe that introverted leadership has distinct strengths and want practical strategies for managing energy and recovery time.What have you done to take action lately? Share your reflections with us on social and join the conversation.

Fraud isn't random. It's calculated, evolving, and often hiding in plain sight. From mortgage fraud and healthcare scams to romance schemes and cryptocurrency theft, today's fraudsters are moving faster, reaching farther, and exploiting technology in ways that would have been unimaginable just a decade ago. In this episode, Justin sits down with IRS Special Agents Don Ellsworth and David Votaw, alongside retired Homeland Security Investigations agent Bill Green, to explore the resurgence of mortgage fraud, the explosion of healthcare scams, and the growing need for cooperation between federal agencies. Together, they recount how major fraud investigations are built, why certain schemes continue to succeed, and what the public needs to know to avoid becoming the next victim. Key Topics: Straw buyers, fraudulent tax returns, and organized real estate schemes Healthcare and Medicare fraud worth millions of taxpayer dollars Why fraudsters target government-funded programs Why elderly Americans are increasingly targeted by organized criminal networks The future of fraud investigations in an AI-driven world Fraud impacts far more than balance sheets. It affects retirees, families, small businesses, taxpayers, and even those who believes they are too smart to become a victim. The reality is that today's schemes are designed to exploit trust, urgency, technology, and human behavior. As these crimes evolve, awareness becomes one of the most powerful tools we have.

With Premier League survival officially secured, Jack sits down with Sean Connell, Editor of The Sponsor, to digest the sobering commercial reality facing the club hierarchy. Unpacking the data from the newly released Premier League Fair Market Sponsorship Values 2026 report, the pair discuss the massive 40% collapse in Tottenham's front-of-shirt sponsorship value, which has dropped to £29.8m following consecutive 17th-place finishes and a total loss of European exposure. With the club entering the final year of its deals with AIA and Kraken, Sean explains the potential uphill battle the commercial team faces in a fiercely competitive post-gambling market - but it's not all doom and gloom. The conversation takes a "fork in the road" look at what a Championship relegation would have done to our sponsorship inventory, and evaluates how heavily our identities as a London heritage brand, our stadium assets, and our NFL partnership insulate us from on-pitch rot. Jack and Sean also dive into the fascinating concept of the "franchise player"—debating whether chasing a globally recognised name like Marcus Rashford is a viable commercial necessity to instantly claw back the brand value lost when Kane and Son departed. Finally, they look ahead to the summer priorities, evaluating recent statements from Peter Charrington and Vinai Venkatesham and where Tottenham's priorities should lie going forward.

In this episode, Matt Rogers sits down with Candice Leinneweber, Director of Design at MA+ Architecture and 2025 EdMarket NextGen Award winner, for a wide-ranging conversation about what it takes to design schools that truly serve students. Candice shares her winding path — from a family bakery in San Diego, to an accounting class that sent her running toward architecture, to teaching college courses for seven years before becoming a licensed architect. The conversation digs into how her dual training in architecture and interior design shapes her approach to K-12 spaces, what it really means to design for security without creating a prison-like atmosphere, and the exciting Oklahoma Aviation Academy project currently under construction in Norman. Candice also shares her work chairing an AIA committee building a framework to expose K-12 students to careers in architecture and design. Takeaways: Design with the "why" first. Candice's core approach — whether working with a client, a contractor, or a student — is to keep asking why until you understand the real goal. That clarity is what separates a decision that holds up 20 years from one that just looks good on day one. Security and joy aren't opposites. A recurring challenge in K-12 design today is creating spaces that feel open, welcoming, and engaging while also meeting rigorous safety requirements. Candice describes threading that needle on the Oklahoma Aviation Academy by designing for visibility, hiding places in emergencies, and an inviting open atmosphere simultaneously. Meet students where they are. Whether through student surveys, post-occupancy research, or thoughtful space programming, truly student-centered design means designing for the full spectrum of learners — the quiet kid, the kinesthetic learner, the future engineer, and everyone in between. Flexibility is the best hedge against an uncertain future. Rather than betting on what education will look like in 30 years, Candice designs spaces that can be rearranged, reprogrammed, and adapted — so a learning stair can be a tour stop, a study group, and a pickup class depending on the day. Exposure is everything. Candice's AIA committee work is rooted in her own experience: she didn't discover architecture until late in college because she simply didn't know it was attainable. Creating pathways for students to shadow architects, visit job sites, and see what the field actually looks like can change the trajectory of a career. About Candice Leinneweber: Candice Leinneweber serves as Director of Design, integrating mentorship and leadership into the firm's design culture while guiding innovative K–12 education projects. She champions collaborative engagement with school stakeholders to deliver thoughtful, user-centered environments that support learning and community impact. Candice also chairs a K–12 architecture awareness initiative with The American Institute of Architects, partnering with local school districts to expand access to architecture and engineering careers through tours, site visits, and curriculum integration.

Most global businesses enter Asia with a playbook built elsewhere. The pricing models, growth assumptions, labour structures, and definitions of value that worked in North America or Europe get applied to markets that operate by fundamentally different rules. The result, as Eric Stryson has observed across nearly two decades of on-the-ground leadership work in Asia, is failure - not dramatic failure, but the slow erosion of credibility that comes from never truly understanding where you are.Eric Stryson is Managing Director at The Global Institute For Tomorrow (GIFT), an independent pan-Asian think tank with offices in Hong Kong and Kuala Lumpur. He has designed and facilitated more than 60 experiential leadership programmes across fifteen countries in Asia and the Middle East, working with over 3,000 executives from organisations including HSBC, Petronas, Marriott, MasterCard, and Standard Chartered. His public sector clients include the Hong Kong SAR Government, the Dubai Government, and the Central Bank of Malaysia.In this episode, Eric argues that much of what organisations believe they know about Asia is filtered through AI systems, research, and analysis shaped by Western institutions and historical precedents. Even conventional online research surfaces insights produced predominantly by incumbent Western policy and academic bodies, reinforcing a narrow and often distorted lens. Challenging these assumptions, he contends, requires moving beyond second-hand analysis and grounding decision-making in on-the-ground observation and lived experience.From renegotiating what 'value' means to understanding why Western growth models break down in Asia's diverse political and social contexts, Eric offers a rare perspective on what it actually takes to operate credibly in a post-Western, Asia-led growth environment. Discussion Points· Why Western-filtered research and AI-generated analysis fail businesses trying to understand Asian markets· Concrete examples of Western business models and assumptions breaking down on the ground in Asia· How Asian markets define value differently - and why pricing strategies built elsewhere so often misfire· Why 'scale fast, dominate markets' growth assumptions need renegotiating in Asia's diverse contexts· What nearly 20 years of field project work in Asia reveals that research reports and case studies don't· How consumption patterns and labour structures in Asia require businesses to rethink core operating models· What 'post-Western world' means in practice for businesses operating in China, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East· How to use AI tools responsibly when the training data reflects predominantly Western institutional perspectives· Why Hong Kong businesses face an urgent reinvention moment - and what that looks like in practice· The single most important thing Western businesses should do differently before entering or scaling in Asian marketsGuest BioEric Stryson is Managing Director at The Global Institute For Tomorrow (GIFT), an independent pan-Asian think tank with offices in Hong Kong and Kuala Lumpur.

How can sharing personal narratives empower the LGBTQIA+ community to hold the line and design a more equitable future for architecture?In this special episode of Practice Disrupted, the format shifts as host Evelyn Lee steps back to listen, handing the moderation over to Sarah Woynicz. This conversation marks the first of two episodes celebrating the upcoming June 1st release of Out in Architecture Volume 2 at the start of Pride Month. Sarah sits down with the team behind the original publication, Jha D Amazi, Beau Frail, Julia Oderda, and Andrew Grant Houston, who have transitioned from co-authors in the first volume to co-editors of the second.The group reflects on how their roles have evolved since Volume 1 was launched at the NOMA conference in October 2023. Moving from writing their own stories to holding space as editors for over 20 new contributors was described as a deeply humbling and emotional journey. They discuss the unique responsibility of stewarding deeply personal histories and guiding new authors through the vulnerable process of contributing to the professional archive.The conversation also addresses the heightened stakes of visibility in today's political climate. The editors open up about the necessity of executing safety check-ins with potential authors following recent elections, recognizing that being visible carries distinct risks. Ultimately, they emphasize the critical importance of leveraging professional privilege and cachet to shine a light, ensuring that the next generation of architects feels empowered to do the same."No one can tell the story that you have to tell. So come tell it, come tell it however you want to. Whatever format, whatever language, whatever medium, tell the story because somebody needs to hear it." - Jha D AmaziThis episode serves as a powerful reminder that architecture is shaped not just by the buildings we draw, but by the lived experiences of the people who design them. By paying it forward and honoring those who came before, this collective is actively shifting the baseline of inclusivity across the AEC industry.Guests:Sarah Woynicz is a Project Manager at HKS who utilizes her cross-industry design experience to lead wellness-focused healthcare and mixed-use developments that blend client business goals with community health outcomes. She is deeply engaged in professional advocacy, currently chairing the AIA National Young Architects Forum and previously serving on the AIA Atlanta Board, where she spearheaded leadership initiatives to empower emerging professionals.Julia Oderda, AIA, is a principal at VCBO Architecture with over 25 years of experience leading award-winning higher education, recreation, and K-12 projects from concept to completion. In 2018, she came out as one of Utah's first openly transgender architects in leadership and has since become a prominent advocate for LGBTQIA+ representation in the profession.Andrew Grant Houston (Ace) is an architect, urban designer, and housing activist who runs his own practice, House Cosmopolitan, and previously ran for Mayor of Seattle in 2021. As a queer, mixed-race individual and sixth-generation Texan who splits his time between Seattle and Austin, he leverages his background and mastery of five languages to advocate for inclusive, culture-rich urban communities where people can thrive together.Jha D Amazi is a Principal at MASS Design Group and leader of the Public Memory and Memorials Lab, where she engages communities to design inclusive monument projects that honor historically underrepresented histories and cultures. Beyond her architectural practice and academic background, she is a spoken word artist, LGBTQ+ SpaceMaker, and advocate who was appointed to the Massachusetts Governor's Advisory Council on Black Empowerment in 2023.Beau Frail, RA, is an architect, poet, and artist who serves as a Project Architect at Fox Fox Studio and leads his own consulting firm, Activate Architecture, balancing his practice between Savannah and Austin. A dedicated advocate for equity, community-engaged design, and LGBTQIA+ visibility, he helped launch major EDI committees and alliances at the AIA, co-edited Out in Architecture, and even shared his poetry as an opening act on Rupi Kaur's 2022 World Tour.This episode is especially for you if:✅ You want to understand the profound impact of visibility and representation for LGBTQIA+ professionals in the AEC industry.✅ You are curious about the internal journey and responsibility of moving from a co-author to a co-editor of personal narratives.✅You want to explore what it means to pay it forward and pay it backward by honoring the legacy of those who paved the way.✅ You are looking for strategies on how communities can hold the line and support one another through volatile political and social climates.✅ You believe that individual storytelling is an indispensable tool for uncovering the true history and future potential of architectural practice.What have you done to take action lately?

In this episode of SPACES, Dimitrius speaks with Michael Bohn, AIA, Partner at Studio One Eleven, about the growing opportunity to convert underused office buildings into housing. As office vacancy rates remain elevated in many cities and communities continue to face severe housing shortages, adaptive reuse offers a powerful path forward—one that can reduce waste, lower embodied carbon, preserve community character, and bring new life to struggling urban districts.Michael brings more than 35 years of architectural experience and leads Studio One Eleven's affordable, modular, and adaptive reuse work. His projects span transit-oriented development, urban infill, mixed-use communities, and office-to-housing conversions across Southern California. Together, Dimitrius and Michael discuss why office-to-housing conversion is about more than filling empty buildings. They explore the practical challenges of changing a building's use, including floor plate depth, natural light, plumbing, structural upgrades, leases, façades, mechanical systems, and construction surprises. Michael also explains why adaptive reuse ordinances are essential for cities that want to make these projects viable.Studio One ElevenLYNESIf you enjoy our content, you can check out similar content from our fellow creators at Gābl Media.Spaces Podcast Spaces Podcast websiteLYNES // Gābl MediaAll rights reserved
The internet most people use is only the surface. Beneath it exists a hidden ecosystem of encrypted marketplaces, anonymous communications, cryptocurrency transactions, and criminal networks operating across borders. So how do investigators infiltrate a world designed to hide people, money, and crime? In this episode, Justin Yentes sits down with IRS Special Agents Don Ellsworth and David Votaw, alongside retired Homeland Security Investigations Agent Bill Green, to break down how early dark web investigations worked and the ways cryptocurrency changed everything. They discuss the reality of undercover cyber investigations, the evolution of crypto-related crime, and the difficult human cases investigators encountered while working inside hidden online marketplaces years before most people even knew the dark web existed. From Bitcoin laundering operations to child exploitation investigations and global crypto fraud schemes, this episode reveals how federal agents adapted to a rapidly changing criminal landscape. Key Topics: How IRS CI and Homeland Security collaborate on financial crime cases Early Bitcoin and crypto investigations before crypto became mainstream Human trafficking and exploitation cases tied to cryptocurrency Undercover operations involving money laundering and narcotics trafficking The growing epidemic of crypto scams, fraud, and online victimization This episode is for anyone curious about how cybercrime, cryptocurrency fraud, and dark web investigations operate. Behind every wallet address, encrypted message, and hidden marketplace are real people, real victims, and investigators working to stop crimes most of the public never sees.

In this In Case You Missed It (ICYMI) episode of the I Hear Design podcast, we revisit an article by Nicholas McWhirter, AIA, NCARB, design principal and studio head at SHM Architects, on what it means for architecture to truly listen. Through projects at the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Society and in Crested Butte, Colorado, McWhirter examines how community spaces can be shaped by history, landscape, and long-term use. Rather than replicate historic architecture or impose a disconnected contemporary gesture, these projects demonstrate a more nuanced approach: translating precedent, designing for transformation, and treating land as an active part of the program. The episode explores how adaptable pavilions, framed views, and long-term institutional relationships can create spaces that serve communities across seasons, events, and generations.
In this episode, Cherise is joined by Justin Crane, FAIA, Principal, and Stefanie Greenfield, AIA, Principal at CambridgeSeven in Cambridge, Massachusetts. They discuss The Foundry, also in Cambridge, MA.You can see the project here as you listen along.The Foundry exemplifies a thoughtful approach to adaptive reuse, where the legacy of a 132-year-old industrial structure is carried forward through a renewed civic purpose. Once home to the Blake and Knowles Steam Pump Company and later a succession of utilitarian uses, the building has been transformed into a dynamic hub for arts, education, and entrepreneurship. The design resists the urge to overwrite history, instead preserving nearly 70 percent of the original fabric and allowing the building's industrial identity to remain present and legible.

Before Bitcoin became mainstream, criminals were already using cryptocurrency to move money, hide illegal activity, and stay ahead of law enforcement. So how do investigators track financial crimes built around systems designed to be difficult to trace? In this episode, Justin sits down with IRS Special Agent Don Ellsworth, a federal investigator who started working crypto and dark web cases before most people even understood what Bitcoin was. From Silk Road investigations to ransomware attacks and international crypto scams, this conversation breaks down how financial investigators follow digital money trails across borders and why nearly every major crime eventually connects back to money. Key Topics: What the criminal investigative side of the IRS does How Bitcoin and cryptocurrency changed financial crimes Why criminals were years ahead of law enforcement in crypto International task forces, Interpol, and global investigations Crypto ransom cases, ransomware attacks, and hospital hacks This episode is for anyone interested in investigations, cybersecurity, cryptocurrency, fraud, or how modern law enforcement adapts to rapidly changing technology. It may also challenge the common belief that crypto is completely anonymous or that financial crimes only affect wealthy investors and corporations. Behind nearly every major criminal operation is a financial trail, and this conversation reveals how investigators work to follow it. Subscribe to the podcast to ensure you never miss an episode!

What was once a fragmented network of dispersed offices is now consolidated into a cohesive, welcoming environment—one that reflects both the scale of the program, serving more than 4,000 students, and the evolving understanding of accessibility as a fundamental design driver rather than a regulatory obligation.If you enjoy this episode, visit arcat.com/podcast for more.If you're a frequent listener of Detailed, you might enjoy similar content at Gābl Media.Mentioned in this episode:Social Channel Pre-rollPromotes the YouTube channel, ARACTemy, and social handle.

How do we manage the rapid transformation of the AECO industry without losing the human systems that make the work possible?In this first-ever live recording of Practice Disrupted, captured at the NASCC Steel Conference in Atlanta, Evelyn Lee is joined by Shelby Morris and Emily Schickner to discuss the "methods and mindsets" required to lead through industry-wide change. From the dramatic shift in the Atlanta real estate market, where zero new office buildings are currently under construction while billions are poured into data centers, the conversation explores how firms must adapt their business lines to remain relevant. The guests discuss how flexibility and a willingness to pivot are no longer just survival tactics but core operational strategies.The episode delves into the nuances of communication, particularly how AI-generated renderings are shifting client expectations and the way architects articulate their value. Beyond technology, the discussion focuses on building a resilient firm culture through "co-creation" rather than top-down mandates. Shelby and Emily share insights on radical transparency in fees, the importance of intentional mentorship, and why viewing the entire AEC industry as a collaborative "family" is essential for raising the profession's standing.This live discussion offers a rare look at how leadership happens in real-time during market volatility. By focusing on the intersection of market data and human capital, Shelby and Emily provide a roadmap for firms to move beyond traditional hierarchies toward a more integrated, transparent, and agile way of working."It's the family culture and environment that should spread across our entire AEC industry because we absolutely are all in this together and we all must support each other to continue being the profession that needs to be respected in the way that it needs to be." - Shelby MorrisThis episode is a masterclass in leading with transparency and empathy. Shelby and Emily emphasize that while the technical requirements of the job will always evolve, the business of architecture is, at its heart, a people business built on trust and shared valuesGuest:Shelby Morris is the Co-Managing Director of Gensler's Atlanta office and a former AIA Atlanta president.

Facts and evidence matter. But if no one understands the story behind them… the truth can get lost. In this episode, we go beyond facts and into the power of narrative, the force that shapes how the public, the media, and even the courts understand complex issues. Joined by attorney Doug Passon and journalist Jamie Montoya, we break down how storytelling transforms dense legal arguments into messages that resonate, influence headlines, and even shape judicial opinions. From a high-stakes federal case centered on abuse of power to the psychology behind how humans process information, this conversation reveals why the most effective communicators, whether in law, journalism, or investigations, don't just present facts… they tell stories. Key Topics: Why facts alone aren't enough to move people or influence outcomes The role of storytelling in shaping media headlines and court decisions How journalists balance narrative vs. accuracy when reporting complex cases Lessons from iconic cases like O.J. Simpson and the power of a single phrase How storytelling can expose or obscure abuses of power This episode is for anyone trying to make sense of today's legal system, media landscape, or public discourse. Whether you're an attorney, journalist, investigator, or simply someone who wants to better understand how truth is communicated, this conversation challenges a fundamental assumption: that facts speak for themselves. They don't. And whoever controls the story, wins. Be sure to follow the show and subscribe to the YouTube channel to never miss an episode!

Send us Fan MailFaria Ash on Building the Autism Foundation, Training, Advocacy, and Safer Care in the UK Host Tony Mantor welcomes back autism advocate Faria Ash, who returns to share her progress since discussing her book on toilet training for autistic and SEND children and adults, based on her nonverbal daughter Aia's real-life story. Faria explains that the book's success led her to form the Autism Foundation in the UK (officially launched October 2023), expanding from workshops into autism training for communities, professionals, schools, and care homes, with a focus on communication, social interaction, repetitive behaviors, sensory impairments, and reducing challenging behaviors to improve quality of life. She describes launching an advocacy service to help parents navigate UK processes such as EHCP reports and school documentation so children receive appropriate support. The conversation addresses misconceptions about autism—especially the idea that “autism is a superpower”—and outlines autism “levels” (1–3) through the core assessment areas of communication, social interaction, and repetitive behaviors. Faria also discusses the overlap between autism and anxiety, emphasizing routines and structure as key supports, and shares challenges including resistance from authorities and difficulties fundraising to create a safe care facility amid reports of abuse in care settings. For Autism Awareness Month, she emphasizes that true inclusion requires asking autistic people and families what practical accommodations would help them participate in schools, workplaces, and communities, and she shares how to find her online via autismfoundation.co.uk and her social media profiles.
