“Another sign is not the answer—it dilutes the message.” - Corinn Soro Today on the pod, Cheryl sits down—virtually—with Senior Planner and Interior Designer Corinn Soro of Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center in Buffalo, NY for a deep dive into wayfinding that actually works: why “visual pollution” erodes attention, how de-crapification clarifies intent, and where evidence-based choices can transform the patient journey from disorientation to ease.  Expect real examples—subway-style maps that set expectations at a glance, pictograms that land when words won't, and donor walls designed to evolve rather than date out—plus the small, cumulative tweaks that lower stress for visitors and staff alike.  Today's conversation is about design as reassurance, translating research into decisions that cut through noise and hand back control the moment someone walks through the door. What We Cover A 17-year-old's spark: geriatric care, neuroplasticity, and the built environment London roots: learning research methods alongside OTs and PTs; universal design for all bodies Evidence-Based Design in action: NICU decisions (sound, circadian light, infection control) backed by research “Visual pollution” vs. visual cues: the case for ruthless editing (“de-crapification”) before adding signs Wayfinding that works under stress: step-by-step instructions, few decision points, and reassurance cues Designing for low literacy: a color-and-letter “subway” system, line-of-travel markers, and proximity intuition Pictograms that actually communicate: testing, swapping out abstractions, and kid-friendly icons Measuring ROI: missed appointments, staff disruptions, and the real cost of poor wayfinding In-house rhythm at a research hospital: tight feedback loops, quick iterations, and process fixes Donor walls that age well: digital storytelling, magnetic plaques, and durable substrates Advocacy and pipeline: AMFP Upstate NY, craft labor realities, and manufacturing shifts ahead Big wish list: self-cleaning floors (for hospitals…and home) Why post-occupancy evaluations could prevent future design disasters (and why they rarely happen) Key Takeaways Edit before you add. Wayfinding succeeds when clutter is removed and destinations are made legible through architecture, lighting, and contrast—not just more signs. Design for the stressed brain. Fewer decision points + stepwise reassurance beat complex directions every time. Evidence accelerates approvals. EBD turns subjective taste debates into science-backed decisions leadership can green-light. Symbols > sentences. Tested pictograms improve comprehension across languages, ages, and literacy levels. Iterate in the wild. Being embedded with clinicians and patients surfaces quick wins you'll never catch from afar. Memorable Quotes from Corinn Soro “Another sign isn't the answer—it dilutes the message.” “Wayfinding is about giving choice back to patients when so much else is out of their control.” “If a space is ‘too quiet' for the engineer, it's probably just right for the neonates.” “Healthcare design is a team sport.” Resources & Links Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center — https://www.roswellpark.org/ AMFP Upstate New York Chapter — https://amfp.org/upstate-new-york Fiona Finer, the Interior Designer (ages 3–8) — https://www.amazon.com/Fiona-Finer-Interior-Designer-Corinn/dp/1720664889 EDAC Certification (Evidence-Based Design) — https://www.healthdesign.org/certification-outreach/edac Hablamos Juntos pictograms — https://www.theicod.org/resources/news-archive/segd-and-hablamos-juntos-introduce-new-universal-symbols-in-health-care Sisters of Charity Hospital (Buffalo, NY) — NICU project mentioned — https://www.chsbuffalo.org/sisters-of-charity-hospital/ Past HID2.0 episode featuring Tama Duffy Day — Episode 20 https://healthcareidpodcast.libsyn.com/2019/09 Connect with Corinn Soro Email: corinn.soro@roswellpark.org LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/corinn-soro-14859ab/ Our Industry Partners The world is changing quickly.

Let's unpack this, did you know that hundreds of preeminent members of The American Institute of Architects –  The AIA – have signed the AIA Materials Pledge? The Pledge is aligned with the Mindful Materials Common Materials Framework – the CMF. This is just one, very impressive example of how the movement to support decision making for building product selection has reached new highs. We can see these explained as 5 pillars of sustainability: (The first) - Human Health: Focusing on avoiding hazardous substances and promoting well-being. (Then) - Social Health & Equity: Addressing human rights and fair labor practices throughout the supply chain. (The third) is Ecosystem Health: Supporting the regeneration of natural resources and habitats. (This is followed by) Climate Health: Reducing and sequestering carbon emissions. (And the fifth pillar) is The Circular Economy: Promoting a zero-waste future through design for resilience, adaptability, and reuse. I mentioned the receipts -How do we track the progress of these principles and values? Without measurement, there's no clear path to improvement or accountability. The Mindful Materials CMF maps a framework of over 650 sustainability factors across those five key areas. A cornerstone of material health transparency is an Environmental Product Declaration EPD report. The best are independently verified for accuracy by third party certification bodies – a company cannot mark their own report cards. EPDs are highly technical documents containing scientific information on the embodied carbon used to manufacture products. I have just read and included here an EPD for a Porcelanosa Tile – there are upwards of 1000 data inputs to quantify its climate impact. Porcelanosa offer the confidence and certainty of knowing that every tile, every slab of XTONE porcelain or KRION solid surface  has a Product Specific EPD – when architects and designers work with these materials they are making a robust decision to meet their sustainable design goals. To learn more about how Porcelanosa help their customers design for resiliency, here is a link to their comprehensive Corporate Social Responsibility Report: https://www.porcelanosa.com/en/corporate-social-responsibility/

We've covered the news of Ford moving their headquarters to a shiny new facility… and demolishing the Glass House on Michigan avenue from a couple of angles. First, economic development and the business reasons. Second, the history of Ford's impact on Dearborn, going back a century. Now, in the third and final installment of the series, we're getting into the history of the Glass House itself. The significance of its architecture and the time in Metro Detroit in the country. We're also going to talk about fanciful plans that were drawn up for Ford more than fifty years ago that would have remade the look of the city into something almost out of science fiction. Dearborn might have gotten it's own rapid transit hub… and its own People Mover… as part of a massive redevelopment of that middle of the city that was Henry Ford's old land into everything from shopping to industrial to company campus.  Our guest is Mark Nickita, FAIA. He's an Architect, Urban Designer, and President of ArchiveDS. He's also a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects.

Navigating Uncertainty: Economic Trends Every Small Firm Must WatchIn this episode of EntreArchitect Podcast, Mark R. LePage welcomes Kermit Baker, Chief Economist for the American Institute of Architects, for an in-depth conversation on how small firms can navigate today's uncertain economic climate. Kermit unpacks the shifting landscape of the U.S. economy, the role of architecture within it, and why keeping a close eye on key indicators can help firms prepare for what's ahead. From construction demand to housing starts and client investment trends, he explains the signals architects should monitor to remain proactive rather than reactive. His insights make clear that economic fluency isn't optional for firm owners, it's essential to building resilience.Kermit also emphasizes the importance of strengthening client engagement in times of uncertainty. He shares how firms can position themselves by leaning into their unique competitive advantages, fostering trust, and maintaining clear communication with clients about costs, schedules, and long-term value. Rather than being sidelined by market shifts, architects who understand their differentiators and build deeper relationships can seize opportunities that arise, even when conditions feel unpredictable. These strategies are not just defensive, they're the foundation for sustainable growth.Listeners will also gain perspective from Kermit's extensive career analyzing architecture and construction trends. As the originator of the Architecture Billings Index and a long-time leader of the AIA Consensus Construction Forecast, his research and guidance are widely recognized across the profession. Drawing on decades of experience, Kermit offers practical advice for firm leaders looking to weather downturns, plan strategically, and thrive through economic cycles.

Stress levels appear to be at their highest peak in years. The American Institute of Stress reported in 2024 that a person's average stress level on a scale of 1 – 10 was a 5 and now it is a 6. There are major stressors impacting everyone which include the economy, politics, and daily negative news but many people are also facing personal losses such as death, divorce, relocation and financial difficulties. How each person approaches “stress” creates a vibrational frequency which we tangibly feel in our daily life. What can we do to begin turning things around? This is the conversation Steven and I have on the show today.Steven Twohig can be reached for consultation via the following links.MasteringChange.comShadow Work AppListen to this week's program below or on your podcast platform of choice by clicking Here.

Dr. Thomas Armstrong, Executive Director of the American Institute for Learning and Human Development, discusses the importance of supporting neurodivergent children. Dr. Armstrong shares how viewing neurodiversity as a strength, much like biodiversity or cultural diversity, can help parents reframe challenges, nurture their child's passions, and partner with teachers to highlight their child's unique gifts. He also offers practical strategies such as strength-based learning, assistive technologies, developing a growth mindset, and connecting children with positive role models to create environments where students can thrive.The power of Neurodiversity: https://www.amazon.com/Power-Neurodiversity-Unleashing-Advantages-Differently/dp/0738215244Nuerodiversity in the Classroom: https://www.amazon.com/Neurodiversity-Classroom-Strength-Based-Strategies-Students/dp/1416614834

Managing teen stress is crucial because adolescence is a formative periodmarked by significant physical, emotional, and social changes. High stress levels can negatively impact a teen's academic performance, relationships, and mental health, potentially leading to anxiety, depression, or risky behaviors. By teaching teens effective coping strategies—such as time management, mindfulness, and healthy communication—they can build resilience and develop lifelong skills for handling pressure. Supporting stress management early helps teens thrive both in the moment and as they transition into adulthood. Coach Chuck Barnard is an author (he has written 5 books), speaker, champion's mindset mentor, and a father of four.

Hi friends, and welcome back to the podcast. In today's episode, I'm joined by two special guests: Dr. Steven Antonoff and Jay McCann, co-authors of the newly updated 5th edition of The College Finder: Your comprehensive guide to finding colleges that fit YOUR unique path. In this conversation, we dig into some of the biggest questions students and families face in the college search today, including: What—if anything—are rankings good for in 2025? Beyond starting salaries, which outcome metrics actually indicate value? What's a responsible way for students to use AI in the search phase—and what should they avoid? How do you plan a high-yield campus visit (or a virtual substitute) that actually informs fit? What's the most productive role for parents at each stage of the process? Jay McCann is co-author of The College Finder, now in its fifth edition since Steve's original publication in 1993. He earned his graduate degree at San Diego State University, where he was part of the Native American Scholars and Collaborators grant, focusing on education and community engagement. Jay began his counseling career in Denver Public Schools, where he served as department chair, before moving to Valor Christian High School and now The Westminster Schools in Atlanta. He is also the founder of Future to Find College Consulting, and he lives in Atlanta with his wife, Erin, and their three young children. Dr. Steven Antonoff has more than 30 years of experience in higher education. He is the author of College Match and The College Finder, both highly regarded resources for students and counselors. Steve holds a PhD in Human Communication Studies, an MA in Education from the University of Denver, and a BS in Psychology from Colorado State University. He is the former Dean of Admission & Financial Aid, Executive Director of Admissions & Student Affairs, and Dean of Students at the University of Denver. A founding chair of the American Institute for Certified Educational Planners, he helped launch the first certification program, training initiatives, and textbook for IECs. His work supports low-income and first-generation students through IB programs, Denver's Latino Association, and College Summit. He is the recipient of IECA's Professional Achievement Award, now named in his honor.  We hope you enjoy!   Play-by-Play:  4:37 – What do students need to understand about themselves before they start their college search?  5:45 – What are some common gaps between what students say they want and the schools they choose? 7:37 – How much time should students spend reflecting on what they want in a college? 11:23 – What, if anything, are rankings good for in 2025? 15:42 – Beyond starting salaries, which outcome metrics actually indicate value? 19:15 – How can students evaluate the strength of a specific program at a college? 22:49 – How can students get a real sense of campus culture? 27:12 – How should students (and counselors) categorize colleges when building a list? 32:44 – How many colleges should students apply to? 33:53 – What's a responsible way for students to use AI in the search phase—and what should they avoid? 38:14 – How should students and families think about Early Action and Early Decision? 42:34 – What's the most productive role for parents in this process? 45:46 – What's one action step seniors should take before applying? 48:12 – What are a few must-have resources for the college search and application process?     Resources:   Books, Guides, and Tools The College Finder 3 Step Guide to Choosing a College That's Right for You Fiske Guide to Colleges SchoolBuff (Dr. Antonoff's website) Future to Find (Jay's website)   College Research Platforms College Navigator  CampusReel  CampusTours  College Scorecard Net Price Calculator Center   Reflection + College Planning Roles and Identities Exercise (with Counselor Notes) How to Decide Whether to Apply Early Action (EA) or Early Decision (ED) Challenge Success (Stanford) Making Caring Common (Harvard)  CEG Podcast Episode 503 with Trisha Ross Anderson (Making Caring Common)  College Essay Guy's Personal Statement Resources College Essay Guy's College Application Hub

SHOW SCHEDULE  9-4 The show begins in the EU, fretting Kyiv, Paris, London, Berlin. 1578 ALEX-TRAIMAN-JNS-9-4.mp3 Guest Name: Alex TRAIman MALCOLM HOENLEIN @CONF_OF_PRES @MHOENLEIN1 Affiliation: CEO and Jerusalem Bureau Chief for Jewish News Service (JNS) Summary: The discussion focuses on the Israel-Hamas conflict, emphasizing the Israeli government's preference for all hostage releases and Hamas's surrender for an end to the war. It details the IDF's military campaign in Gaza City, the challenges of urban warfare, and the ongoing threat from Iranian-backed proxies like Hamas and the Houthis. The long-term outlook suggests a complex, "unclean" end to the conflict, with continued terror attacks likely. ANATOL-LIEVEN-KYIV-9-4.mp3 Guest Name: Anatol LIeven Affiliation: Eurasia Project Director of the Quinsey Institute for Responsible Statecraft Summary: The conversation critically examines a proposal for a Eurocentric security force in Ukraine, highlighting its practical unfeasibility given European military limitations and domestic fiscal challenges, particularly in France. It suggests the proposal might be political grandstanding or a strategy to "trap" the US. Ukraine's strategy aims to wear Russia down to concede on demands, recognizing they cannot achieve a full military victory. ANNA-BORSCHEVSKAYA-9-4.mp3 Guest Name: Anna Borschevskaya MALCOLM HOENLEIN @CONF_OF_PRES @MHOENLEIN1 Affiliation: The Washington Institute Summary: This segment discusses Vladimir Putin's vision for a multipolar world with diminished US influence, emphasizing a strategic triangle of Russia, China, and India. It highlights Russia's increasing cooperation with Iran and Belarus, despite conventional wisdom. Putin is seen as willing to accept Russia's junior position to China, viewing it as a necessary alliance against a perceived Western attack on Russia. CHRIS-RIEGEL-HBM-9-4.mp3 Guest Name: Chris RIEGEL Affiliation: CEO of #SCALAREPORT: CHRIS RIEGEL CEO, SCALA.COM @STRATACACHE.  Summary: The discussion centers on High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) as a critical innovation driving the AI revolution. SK Hynix has surpassed competitors by vertically stacking memory chips, overcoming the "memory wall" to allow faster data access for AI processors. This technology is crucial for AI development, with the US leading innovation. Strict US and EU export controls aim to prevent China from acquiring advanced chip-making tools. CLIFF-MAY-ENERGY-9-4.mp3 Guest Name: Cliff May Affiliation: Founder and President of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies Summary: The conversation challenges current energy policies, noting that fossil fuels still provide over 81% of global energy despite decades of renewables promotion. Cliff May argues that climate policy often weakens the US while adversaries like China and Russia continue to rely on coal and hydrocarbons without climate concerns. He emphasizes energy security as intrinsic to national security, criticizing government subsidies as ineffective and prone to cronyism. COL-GRANT-NEWWSHAM-ROK-DPRK-9-4.mp3 Guest Name: Grant NEWSHam Affiliation: Colonel, United States Marine Corps retired, and author of "When China Attacks" Summary: The discussion traces the cynical division of Korea at the 38th parallel and the resulting prosperity of South Korea versus the starvation in North Korea. It highlights the current South Korean administration's pro-North Korea stance and its alignment with China and Russia. Kim Jong-un's presence at a Beijing military parade signifies a strengthening, serious alliance among these adversarial nations, aiming to intimidate the West. DALLAS-BIENHOFF-DSVID-LIVINGSTON-MARS-9-4.mp3 Guest Name: Dallas BIEnhof and David Livingston Affiliation:  Space Systems Architect for Offworld.ai; David Livingston: Dr. Space of The Space Show Summary: The discussion defines cis-lunar space as the volume around the Moon, highlighting planned missions and the Artemis program as a key driver. It explores the utility of Lagrange points for stable orbital stations and the need for extensive infrastructure, including transportation nodes and propellant depots, to support a permanent human presence on the Moon and Mars. Future plans also include resource utilization and space tourism. JULIA-CARTWRIGHT-HOUSING-9-4.mp3 Guest Name: Julia Cartwright Affiliation: Senior Research Fellow in Law and Economics at the American Institute for Economic Research Summary: The conversation examines the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as a major impediment to housing development, particularly for rebuilding after wildfires. Julia Cartwright details how CEQA, along with restrictive building and zoning codes, creates costly delays, making California the most expensive state for construction. This bureaucracy disproportionately impacts affordable housing and is exacerbated by entities like the California Coastal Commission. MICHAEL-BERNSTAM-9-4.mp3 Guest Name: Michael Bernstam Affiliation: Hoover Institution Summary: The segment discusses Russia's energy deals with China, including the Power of Siberia pipelines, noting financing and pricing disputes. Michael Bernstam highlights Russia's struggle with declining oil prices, leading to budget deficits and losses for major oil companies. China and India are benefiting from discounted Russian crude, processing it for sale to Europe, bypassing sanctions. Secondary sanctions on China could disrupt this trade. MOHSEN-SAZEGARA-IRAN-9-4.mp3 Guest Name: Mohsen Sazagara Affiliation: Democracy activist from Iran Summary: Mohsen Sazagara confirms Iran's rearmament efforts, fueled by its leadership's belief in success against Israel and continued anti-US policies. Iran is seeking arms from Russia (via Belarus) and China (via North Korea), though Russia is reportedly less generous than expected. The speaker notes growing internal opposition within Iran and a high probability of another military conflict with Israel, especially concerning nuclear development or air defense rebuilding. SADANAND-DHUME-MODI-9-4.mp3 Guest Name: Sadanand Dhume Affiliation: American Enterprise Institute, writes "East to East" column for the Wall Street Journal Summary: The discussion analyzes Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to China for the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, amidst declining US-India relations due to tariffs. India's large farm lobby, especially dairy, heavily influences trade policy. Despite diplomatic gestures, India maintains vigilance against Chinese aggression due to deep-rooted border disputes and China's close ties with Pakistan, indicating India won't align closely with China. VERONIQUE-DERUGY-9-4.mp3 Guest Name: Veronique de Rugy Affiliation: Mercatus Center Summary: Veronique de Rugy strongly critiques the proposal for a US sovereign wealth fund, arguing it's a poor idea given the US's high debt-to-GDP ratio and existing budget deficits. She contends that borrowing to invest would be fiscally unsound and would lead to "cronyism on steroids," as government investment decisions are driven by political priorities rather than viable market opportunities, unlike private sector investments.

American women have grown more independent economically in recent decades, giving them greater choice in whom to date or marry — and the choice to opt out altogether.

Why do we design indoor spaces the way we do? What are the unseen socio-cultural impacts involved and how do they impact other aspects of the indoor environment that we can not see? Today, we're unpacking the idea that our indoor environments are not just passive shelters - they are complex, multifaceted situations with competing goals and perspectives. As our guest, Dr. Liz McCormick shares, our relationship with indoor space is a rich, interdependent web of circumstances that stretches well beyond the boundaries of any single discipline. We'll be bringing together insights from architecture, anthropology, and ecology to explore the substantial footprint of our built environments—physically, on a scale equivalent to global grasslands and tropical forests; psychologically, as we experience thermal blandness and a disconnect from nature; and ecologically, as we grapple with a misplaced sense of separation from the "dirt" and the world outside our carefully conditioned spaces. This conversation will challenge us to rethink outdated ideas and address why the air we live in—this "material" we are in constant contact with—matters so much for our health. We'll be looking at a comprehensive model for indoor air quality, considering the crucial interactions between pollutants, their pathways, and our exposure. Buckle up for another thoughtful adventure on the Building Science Podcast!Links from the Episode:Buildings don't use energy: people doEntomological HappeningsThe Architecture of Vector ControlLiz McCormickMcCormick is a licensed architect, educator, and researcher whose work explores healthy, climatically sensitive, and contextually appropriate building design strategies that connect occupants to the outdoors while also reducing the dependence on mechanical conditioning technologies. Her recent book, Inside OUT: Human Health & the Air-Conditioning Era (Routledge), tells the rich story of both the social and technological drivers of the conditioned indoors while making an argument for thoughtful interventions in the built environment. It brings together a multi-disciplinary group of experts of the indoors, including scientists, anthropologists, engineers, and architects, to discuss the future of human habitation with a dominant focus on human health in a post-pandemic world. Liz is also the lead-PI for the NSF-supported research study abroad program to Tanzania (through 2026).Liz is a WELL and LEED Accredited Professional and a Certified Passive House Consultant. With over 10 years of experience as a practicing architect, she has worked on a variety of project scales from single-family passive houses to LEED-certified commercial office buildings and campuses.

What's wrong with the supervisor/trainee model?  Nothing, other than it does not work.  Outside of that small limitation, it is entirely viable.  So, really, despite the fact that model is as old as dirt, what's wrong with it?  If it does not work, why did the appraisal industry implement it in the first place?  Is it fixable?  If it is fixable, who is going to fix it? What's wrong with the residential real estate supervisor/trainee model is, in part, how it started.  Real estate appraisal has always been a cottage industry.  It was originally an offshoot of the brokerage and construction industries.  Brokers and builders were supposed to be familiar with real estate values, costs of construction, and so forth.  In 1932, when what was then known as the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers began, almost all of its members were also brokers and builders, as well as investors.  While it had a formal Code of Ethics, as well as a formalized educational program, it had to form a plan by which to train new appraisers.  It was just accepted that the old guys would teach the new guys the practical side of real estate appraisal. But that highlighted what was wrong with the residential real estate supervisor/trainee model.  In many cases, the old guys did know there stuff but, for various reasons, were not willing and/or able to teach it to newbies.  This is basically the problem with the system now.  Lots of schools and programs "teaching" real estate appraisal, but no practical way for newbies to enter the system.  Unfortunately, this is still the case. Remember, whether you have 30-years experience, or are a newbie, you'll need proper E&O insurance, as well as an administrative law attorney if you get that letter from your state.
