In this episode of Talking Practice, host Grace La interviews Sheila O'Donnell, architect, educator and co-founder of O'Donnell + Tuomey. Sheila reflects on the creation of O'Donnell + Tuomey, the practice she formed with John Tuomey in 1988. She traces the evolution of her practice through the workings of Group 91 and shares her insights on how their collective energy reshaped Dublin's Temple Bar District.  She discusses how context fundamentally influences her design approach and the professional opportunities that opened for many of Ireland's most successful practitioners. Sheila describes the collaborative spirit within her firm, the challenge of competing against large corporate offices, and the creative benefits that a smaller, design-focused team offers its clients. She explores the evolving conversation around sustainability and material choice, offering a grounded yet optimistic view on how contemporary practices navigate design, context, and climate responsibility.

In this episode, Chris discusses the options available to storage system vendors when building modern storage appliances, with Bill Basinas, Senior Director, Product Marketing at Infinidat. The conversation derives from an observation on architectural choices, following the move to AMD processors from Intel for the latest G4 systems built by Infinidat. AMD offers a greater core count per processor compared to Intel, allowing Infinidat to move to single socket designs, while gaining improvements from PCIe 5.0 and DDR5 memory. Ultimately, this discussion highlights how modern storage system design can take standardised components and build flexible architectures, implementing most features in software. For Infinidat, that could mean expanding its range of solutions for smaller enterprise requirements, or building out products specifically for Edge use cases. Although Bill did not reveal any future plans, the implication is clear - watch this space for future evolution of the InfiniBox architecture to a wider and more varied set of hardwaree configurations.

Join thousands of other listeners on our Substack, The Foodletter!   In this episode, Brooke Eliason sits down with Tami Steggell, the founder of RubySnap Bakery in Salt Lake City, to discuss her journey from architectural design to becoming one of the most respected names in the world of cookies. Tami shares the inspiration behind her creative and high-quality cookies, her dedication to sourcing the best ingredients, and how her love for flavor exploration has shaped RubySnap's success. She also reveals insights into entrepreneurship, the importance of customer service, and her future vision for her content platform, Bite Me Industries.   Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur, a home baker looking to perfect your cookies, or simply a foodie who loves a good story, this episode is packed with inspiration, wisdom, and deliciousness!   Key Takeaways [11:56] From Architecture to Baking: Tami transitioned from a successful career in architecture to launching RubySnap in 2008 after becoming frustrated with the lack of flavorful sweet treats. [18:35] Branding with a Story: The bakery's name and cookie branding are inspired by World War II, honoring the creativity and resourcefulness of that era. Each cookie is named after a real person who has inspired Tami. [23:45] The Art of Flavor Development: Every RubySnap cookie is uniquely crafted with its own dough, rather than using a standard base. This dedication to quality ensures an exceptional flavor experience.  [24:29] The Importance of High-Quality Ingredients: Tami is deeply committed to sourcing premium ingredients, from vanilla beans in Bali to local dairy, eggs, and flour in Utah. [28:08] Keys to Perfect Homemade Cookies: Weighing ingredients, using room-temperature butter, chilling dough, and baking on high-quality parchment paper are essential to achieving bakery-level cookies at home. [32:16] Customer Service as a Mission: Tami's philosophy centers around spreading joy, ensuring every customer leaves happier than when they arrived. The bakery's generous sample policy and personalized service reflect this ethos. [44:54] Expanding Beyond Cookies: Tami has launched Bite Me Industries, a food content platform where she shares recipes, cooking tips, and her love for high-quality ingredients. She hopes to expand into cookbook writing and a podcast focusing on farmers, millers, and ranchers.   Notable Quotes (12:18) “I wanted to create cookies that had the wow factor, where every bite was an experience.” (34:13) “I call it ‘Kill Them with Kindness'—you never know what someone is going through, and a small act of kindness can change their day.” (20:07) “Every cookie is named after someone meaningful in my life—it's a way of honoring the people who have influenced me.” (47:28) “Food encapsulates everything—love, connection, culture, and community.”   Resources Roasted Red Pepper Dressing Recipe Visit the official RubySnap website Visit the official Bite Me Industries website for recipes Follow RubySnap on Instagram Follow Female Foodie on Instagram

On Monday, President Trump rescinded trillions in federal funding. On Tuesday, a federal court paused the freeze. Today, Trump walked the entire plan back.  LA County Supervisor Lindsey Horvath addresses residents' criticisms of officials' initial response to the Palisades Fire. She also discusses fire department investments, cleanup, and rebuilding. Architectural historian Erik Ghenoiu and his architect wife made their home more fire-resistant, and they were active in community fire mitigation efforts. Still, their house didn’t survive the Eaton Fire.  The book “Mood Machine” explains how Spotify contracts with production companies to create so-called “perfect fit content” that it releases under pseudonymous artist profiles.

Welcome to Season 5, Episode 4! Peter Tao and his real life partner Helen Lee are the force behind TAO + LEE Associates, Inc. an award winning St. Louis based design firm. They provide Architectural, Planning, Interiors, and Creative Design services for a diversity of project types, sizes & applications. Their projects have been built both domestically and internationally.  That alone would have interested us enough to have a conversation with Peter, but he's also heavily involved in the St. Louis community, working to raise awareness of the history and stories of Chinese Americans and the greater Asian Pacific Americans who have lived in Missouri. Inspired to dig deeper to help honor his father's centennial birthday back in 2017, Peter has gone on to write blogs, curate historical artifacts, and contribute to historical documents. One of his latest pieces is an essay entitled "Why Should We, the Chinese, Meet at the Fair?" in the book in the book The Wonder and Complexity of the 1904 World's Fair.  His deep dive into family and Chinese American history resulted in him creating his site (and great nickname) The Accidental Historian. On the site, you can find pictures of his family's history as well as posts about a variety of topics including The Life Balance Equation and There Were Chinese in the South? If that wasn't enough, he's still heavily involved in The Missouri Historical Society's St. Louis Chinese American Collecting Initiative that collects pictures and stories of Chinese Americans in St. Louis. You can donate money or contribute artifacts to help! In Part 1, we discuss architecture, how he got into history, things he'd like people to know about Chinese Americans in St. Louis, and more.

Building upon our last episode when we discussed the path we have taken to get where we are, how unpredictable and in some cases, how circuitous that path can take, what we didn't really talk about was if the journey was what we wanted. It's all fine and dandy to look back and make lemonade from lemons, but now that we are decades into our careers as architect, there is another question we want to ask … Episode 168: Architectural Career – Is It Worth It? [Note: If you are reading this via email, click here to access the on-site audio player]  I am going to start by defining, at least or me, what “it” might mean to help shape this conversation. It starts right out of the gate with quality of life – which I would presume is the case for most people. I don't need to be rich and I have been fortunate enough that money for the most part does not influence the decisions I've made in my life. The most important thing for me is that I want to be a part of something. I want what I do to matter – which admittedly, “who it matters to” can and has changed. Some things I do matter to me, but as I've aged in my career, making things better for other people has worked its way into my motivation. When your activities have an impact on others, there is validation that occurs of your decisions, and your behavior. I do want to address the money consideration for a minute. I said it doesn't influence me, but that's really because I make a pretty decent living. I don't care what other people doing other jobs make – good for them. Money simply represents freedom to make certain decisions and to present options. https://www.lifeofanarchitect.com/golden-handcuffs-a-lesson-learned/ For those of you who might be new here, or just stumbled on to this article, I shared the post I wrote a long time ago about “Golden Handcuffs” and an experience I had at the beginning of my career (when I wasn't actually making very much money) where I learned the lesson that money does not bring fulfillment and if you can learn what you need to exist, you can stop the process of chasing a paycheck and focus on being the best version of yourself … which will typically bring with it that larger paycheck. Now that some baselines are in place, let's get into the first section ... The Realities of the Architectural Dream jump to 10:19 When I look back on my career in architecture, I remember how I started out with some enthusiasm. I was convinced I would spend my days doing creative work, designing amazing spaces, and leaving my mark on the world. Now, over three decades later, I can see how that vision of my career evolved in ways I never predicted. The essence of that passion is still there—I love what I do—but the daily realities are far more nuanced than what I imagined as a student. Architecture turned out to be about more than just design; it involves project management, mentorship, business considerations, and sometimes grappling with budgets and fees that don't always reflect the effort we put in. Despite these challenges, I still believe it's worth it. One topic I've discussed a lot with Andrew, and with the mentees in my firm, is how the “dream” compares to the “reality.” In architecture school, we're immersed in design theory and creative exercises; it's easy to believe that's your entire future. But then you join a firm, and someone hands you a stack of construction documents or code research spreadsheets. It can feel jarring—I've seen many young professionals struggle with the gap between what they thought they'd do and what they actually end up doing. At the same time, that early shock is often what expands your skill set the most. As you handle real-world challenges, your perspective grows, and you start to see the broader impact of architecture beyond just the initial creative spark. Part of the dream is also about the work having meaning beyond yourself. Architects generally don't go into this field to make big money; if you truly wanted tha...

California's 1849 gold rush triggered creation of the “instant city” of San Francisco as a to base exploit the rich natural resources of the American West. City of Wood: San Francisco and the Architecture of the Redwood Lumber Industry (University of Texas Press, 2024) examines how capitalists and workers logged the state's vast redwood forests to create the financial capital and construction materials needed to build the regional metropolis of San Francisco. Architectural historian Dr. James Michael Buckley investigates the remote forest and its urban core as two poles of a regional “city.” This city consisted of a far-reaching network of spaces, produced as company owners and workers arrayed men and machines to extract resources and create human commodities from the region's rich natural environment. Combining labor, urban, industrial, and social history, City of Wood employs a variety of sources—including contemporary newspaper articles, novels, and photographs—to explore the architectural landscape of lumber, from backwoods logging camps and company towns in the woods to busy lumber docks and the homes of workers and owners in San Francisco. By imagining the redwood lumber industry as a single community spread across multiple sites—a “City of Wood”—Dr. Buckley demonstrates how capitalist resource extraction links different places along the production value chain. The result is a paradigm shift in architectural history that focuses not just on the evolution of individual building design across time, but also on economic connections that link the center and periphery across space. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

How is your architectural intelligence? Carl and Richard talk to Thomas Betts about his thoughts on implementing AI-related technologies into applications. Thomas talks about stripping the magic out of AI and focusing on the realities - in the end, it's just another API you can call. The conversation digs into what useful implementations of large language models look like, as UX alternatives, summarizers, and tools for reviewing existing work.

In our last episode of 2024 we thought we would do something a little bit different, and talk about where we think architectural culture is at right now, an archaeology of the present, a dissection of the Now. We took some suggestions and requests from our Patrons, and followed them from recent discoveries at the National Gallery to Kengo Kuma and the Las Vegas Sphere. Some of the stories we talked about: National Gallery: https://www.theartnewspaper.com/2024/08/27/sainsbury-wing-contractors-find-1990-letter-from-donor-anticipating-their-demolition-of-false-columns Architectural unionisation: https://jacobin.com/2024/10/bernheimer-architecture-union-faect-cio Matt's essay about AI: https://recessed.space/00186-AI-neural-networks-architecture-AI Thank you to everyone for watching, listening, reviewing, subscribing and supporting us on Patreon this year!
