Karma – The Art of Architecture Design w/ Jason Boyer of Boyer Vertical   BRT S04 EP12 (174) 3-19-2023 What We Learned This Week Architect first, then a Developer. All about the Design of a project. No unlimited budget. You have to work within your constraints to build better projects. Real Estate is a Team sport. Build your relationships as it becomes a major part of your success. Good Design is Good Business       Guest: Jason Boyer of  Boyer Vertical   https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasondboyer/   https://boyervertical.com/ Twitter: BOYER_JDB   Portfolio - karmaphx.com  / arthausphx.com    Karma Booklet 2023: Click HERE   Article – Karma Project 2016: Click HERE   Article – artHaus Project 2016: Click HERE     Architect and Real Estate Developer About “For me, good design isn't about pushing the envelope—it's about redefining it. It's about looking at things differently until the spark appears. From this core inspiration, the projects and teams I work with start a dialogue with stakeholders. And we don't stop until we take you past the finish line. Sure, I want you to be thrilled about the end results. But I also want you to feel like you've been part of the process along the way.” A Masters of Architecture graduate from Arizona State University, Jason was recognized among the top 3 graduates in his class and has since maintained a connection to the ASU school of architecture as an Adjunct Faculty. At age 35 Jason was named Principal and Director of Architecture of the Phoenix office of OWP/P, a notable accomplishment in a profession where the average principal age is 52. In 2009 OWP/P merged with Cannon Design where Jason served as a Principal and Design Leader for Cannon Design's Phoenix based Western Mountain Region office. In 2012 Jason formed Jason Boyer Architects adding real estate development to his entrepreneurial skillset with the successful completion of artHAUS, a nationally recognized transit-oriented infill project.   He has since transformed his practice into a real estate development platform, re-establishing it as Boyer Vertical in 2020. Boyer Vertical integrates architecture, development, and design|build construction under a single real estate platform focused on sustainably minded architecturally significant projects throughout Arizona. Jason's career experiences has given him the opportunity to develop a diverse portfolio of building commissions across a spectrum of industries and uses, including all scales of residential, higher education, academic medical, sports, civic and commercial architecture. Jason's community involvement has included the AIA Arizona Executive Board and Phoenix Metro Chapter Executive Board where he served as President in 2017, the Urban Land Institute Arizona Programs Committee, ASU School of Architecture Partners Program, Society for College and University Planning, and the National Intramural-Recreational Sports Association. Specialties: generating value through creative design thinking and strategic problem solving leading technical competency through timeless detailing and appropriate material sensibilities enabling client and project team success through proactive design management prowess Building Typology Strengths: All scales of Residential, Commercial + Mixed-Use, Higher Education, Sports Performance and Health + Wellness       Notes Seg. 1 Karma is his current project – housing community with 11 single-family units, two stories, 2500 ft.² each Jason had and LOI in November 2019, then the deal fell through. In March 2020, the deal opportunity was back on, and by June 2020 it was under contract. Construction started February 2021, demo the site and start building. This was the first time Jason was doing commercial scale work, of design, develop and construction. Jason was the architect and developer on this project. He oversaw it from A to Z. The biggest project Jason has worked on is the Center Point Condominiums in Tempe AZ That design took 5 years and was 800 condos and lofts. The upscale Centerpoint condos in Tempe includes two towers — one 22 stories, the other 30 stories. The project has 375-units and initially most of them were priced above $350,000. Now, its new owners are changing the name to West Sixth and turning the units into apartments. Karma is an infell project, residential built in a suburban neighborhood. Neighborhood is Madison Heights near 16th St. and Bethany home. Good residential neighborhood with freeway access, good schools, restaurants, dubbed Arcadia light. The term “infill development” refers to building within unused and underutilized lands within existing development patterns, typically but not exclusively in urban areas. Jason had a particular design for the actual house, where when you walk in the front door you're in the middle of the home. He also designed a flex space or 4th bedroom that can be used as a dedicated home office. Has a split master. Keep in mind this was going on during Covid, and people wanted a home office space.   Seg. 2 Any neighborhood project needs to enhance the community. Jason got the funding to purchase 3 outdated parcels. Then did a tear-down to build Karma. Jason‘s background is he is an architect of almost 30 years (1994 ASU Grad School). He has owned a practice, been the principal of the Arizona office of a major US chain doing private development. He has also been a partner in other firms. Jason‘s preference for design is to do cool stuff, and he prefers residential projects. He'll take ideas from his team, and from clients. Then he will synthesize them into a design solution. You always have to be wary of what the cost is, and can the project be built. Most projects do not have an unlimited budget. You have to work within your constraints to build better projects. Often most jobs are messy projects. You need an adaptive reuse of buildings and find good ideas.   Seg. 3 How does Jason see himself, as an architect or a developer? Jason is an architect first, and that's foundational to who he is. It has also provided him the opportunities to become a developer. Build your relationships as it becomes a major part of your success. Real estate is a team sport. As you go, you get smarter. You have to align the risk of a project. Everyone works towards the same and goal. Projects are often financed by the bank or private capital groups. It will take 1 year to get a project financed. Prior to the Karma project Jason designed artHaus on Central Ave. This was a 25 condo deal in midtown Phoenix in 2016. Jason was able to accomplish this goal and now has built credibility and trust with lenders. In 2020 when he went for financing for Karma, it took 30 days. What is Jason's next project? He will look at a dozen, before one sticks. He has a few ideas floating around. One is for an 80 unit multi family mixed use what's food type development. Another idea is considering is building modern cabins in the Flagstaff area.   Seg. 4 Boyer Vertiscal was started in 2020 with Karma. You have to build your team, and have primary people for each part of the project. Karma project has three construction guys, Elaina doing PR, a bookkeeper, real estate contacts, 3 to 5 architects on the team on the design ( for his next project 2 senior architects, and three interns). Then you need a group of consultants, landscape architect, engineers of civil mechanical electrical structural, lighting, engineering science for noise, power, and  Geotech report for soils.   They were careful when working on lighting to define sustainable and energy efficient LED lighting. Also put in skylights for natural light with the sun, plus artificial lights. They also wanted to be careful where the glass facades were facing in dealing with the heat. He put his windows at the end of the wall so when sunlight comes in, it paint the wall to light up the room, while also providing privacy. This team is a collaboration designed to optimize the project. Start early with the team working together. He expects to use the same team as before on his next project. Bonus Investors always want to talk about your past track record, what the deal and cost points are. Good design is also good business. One needs to talk about your team, and also build a pool of investors. Jason puts his own money into a project, and he bought one of the homes at Karma. His artHaus project of 2016 had an internal rate of return (IRR) of 17%. Align the rest of people in the project, if you want ownership and projects. Why invest - what it takes to get to a yes. Excess designs accessible, lives in his design space. His neighbors at Karma include his real estate broker Oleg Bortman of The Brokery . Their neighbors live next to the realtor and the architect who designed and sold the project.     Related Show: Relentlessly Local Real Estate w/ Oleg Bortman of The Brokery   BRT S04 EP08 (170) 2-19-2023 – FULL SHOW: HERE     Real Estate Topic: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/Real+Estate-Construction-Land-Farming   Investing Topic: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/investing More - BRT Best of: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/Best+Of     Thanks for Listening.

The Metaverse is a loaded word promising a bright, immersive future while at the same time raising important questions about the very nature of humanity. We are joined today by Professor Andrew Maynard to help us unpack what the Metaverse is and what might be in store for us for the future. Andrew Maynard is a scientist, author, and founder of Arizona State University's Future of Being Human community, where he's also a professor in the ASU School for the Future of Innovation in Society. Andrew is an elected Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, is a member of the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research President's Advisory Council, has served on a number of National Academies of Sciences committees, and has testified before congressional committees on several occasions. Although he trained as a physicist, Andrew's work increasingly cuts across boundaries as it explores the ethical and socially beneficial development and use of transformative new technologies. He has worked with a number of organizations on approaches to ensuring new technologies benefit as many people as possible, and is a regular contributor to the WEF annual list of top ten emerging Technologies.In addition to his academic writing, Andrew's work has appeared in publications ranging from The Washington Post and Scientific American, to Slate, Salon, and OneZero. He co-hosts the podcast Mission: Interplanetary with former NASA astronaut Cady Coleman, and is the author of the books Films from the Future: The Technology and Morality of Sci-Fi Movies, and Future Rising: A Journey from the Past to the Edge of Tomorrow. He can be found online at andrew.maynard.net, on twitter at @2020science, and in real life buried in a good book!    

Jason Boyer's work redefines what's possible through the eyes of the client - rethinking the norms of architectural practice to drive performance-based design solutions that result in elegant, simple, and compelling project outcomes. A graduate from the University of Illinois and Arizona State University, Boyer was recognized among the top three graduates in his Master of Architecture class and has since served in an Adjunct Faculty position with the ASU School of Architecture. At age 35 Boyer was named Design Principal and Director of Architecture for the Phoenix office of OWP/P, a notable accomplishment in a profession where the average principal age is 52. In 2009 OWP/P merged with Cannon Design where he served as Design Principal for Cannon Design's Phoenix based Western Mountain Region office. A firm-wide design leader, he collaborated across offices with projects in Chicago, Los Angeles, Phoenix, and San Francisco. His design leadership was recognized by the General Services Administration in 2009 with the selection of his portfolio for the Region 9 Land Port of Entry Design Excellence IDIQ program.In 2012 Boyer founded Jason Boyer Architects, adding real estate development to his skillset with the completion of artHAUS, a nationally recognized residential infill project. He has since transformed his practice to include design-led real estate development, re-establishing it as Boyer Vertical in 2020. Boyer Vertical integrates architecture, development, and design|build construction under a single real estate platform focused on creating sustainable architecturally significant projects. artHAUS, the first project completed under the Boyer Vertical umbrella, is a 25-unit smart, modern transit-oriented development that serves as a model for missing-middle infill housing and has been featured in the Urban Land Institute case study library. In February 2022, Jason Boyer joined the three percent of AIA members who have been honored for making significant contributions to the profession by being elevated to the AIA College of Fellows.Boyer's strength is balance – possessing an entrepreneurial skillset that is both design and business savvy. He is a mentor of talent with a legacy for identifying and developing promising young professionals. He values the “total architect” skillset above a singular focused design or practice management path and shares that perspective in the design studios he teaches at ASU.This accumulated experience informs a compelling practice trajectory, moving Boyer outside the norms of architectural practice and into the role of real estate developer where his work will continue to add societal value with elegant, simple, and compelling self-directed architecture.

In our latest installment of Step Off! Radio, we had the chance to interview Phoenix-based visual artist Edgar Fernandez also known as 8Ahau. Edgar Fernandez is a Chicano muralist and multi-disciplined artist from Phoenix Arizona. He was born in Los Angeles California in the early 90s and is the son of immigrant parents who migrated from Mexico to the United States in the 1980’s. Coming of age in Phoenix, Edgar expressed himself through his love of graffiti and Hip-Hop culture which would further drive his love for creating art, eventually taking art classes Phoenix College. Edgar would continue his education at the ASU School of Art, where he transferred to after receiving the Chicanos por la Cause scholarship. Edgar Fernandez is part of the latest generation of Chicano muralist, whose art is rooted in a position that is decidedly pro-Indigenous and exuberates a strong sense of Chicano identity. His depictions of Meso-American art, culture, and folklore; intermixed with contemporary American politics, pop culture, Chicano culture, and modern art movements such as graffiti which make his art a one of kind spectacle that pushes the long and decorated legacy of Mexican and Mexican-American muralist in fine American art. In our discussion, we had the opportunity to talk with Edgar about his early life growing up in Los Angeles, Michigan, and eventually settling in Phoenix, Arizona. His experience as a child discovering his artistic talents drawing cartoon characters, his venture into Phoenix's graffiti scene. Likewise, we also had the opportunity to discuss his thoughts on the increasing mainstream popularity of Mexican culture within broader U.S. culture, cultural appropriation vs. cultural appreciation, and the role that artists play in today's deeply partisan and divided society. With that said, we here at Step Off! Radio hope that you all enjoy our discussion with Edgar Fernandez aka 8Ahua.

This month, Stephen Elser interviews UREx SRN fellow and ASU School of Sustainability PhD student, Yuliya Dzyuban, about her research involving extreme heat and the ways that people perceive and cope with that heat. They discuss the different aspects that affect one's thermal comfort, Ukrainian bus stops, and how there's a lot we can do to improve urban design in Phoenix. Yuliya shares her research illustrating that integrating artistic elements into bus stops can actually make people feel cooler than they would in a bus stop with no such elements. Finally, Yuliya becomes a poet and shares with us a beautiful haiku describing her research.**********************If you have questions, comments, or suggestions for future episodes, e-mail us at futurecitiespodcast@gmail.com or find us on Twitter @FutureCitiesPod.

Recently, Tom and Adam spent 3 days in Boise, Idaho touring One Stone — an innovative school rooted in Design Thinking. Tom and Adam were joined by the school's National Advisory team, including; Eduardo Briceño, Julia Freeland, Sasha Barab, Tony Lewis, and Alex Hernandez.   While celebrating and reflecting upon this innovative high school's growth and development, the team was able to sit down and unpack the ‘why,' ‘how,' and ‘what' of measuring what matters. Listen in as the advisory team shares their thoughts on this topic — taking a look at mindset assessment tools, qualitative vs. quantitative feedback, the challenges of measuring feedback, and much more.   Key Takeaways: [:51] An introduction to One Stone and their desired learning outcomes. [1:34] Eduardo's thoughts on the extent to which we can and should measure a growth mindset. [3:35] The importance of qualitative feedback vs. quantitative. [5:13] How and when Eduardo believes One Stone's mindset assessment tools should be used. [6:10] Is that information from those results aggregated? [6:58] Does Alex see any schools that are doing a good job at providing formative feedback around mindset? [8:50] Providing qualitative feedback and the difficulties of measuring it. [11:54] Julia's thoughts on mindset and how to make it important in education. [14:02] Thoughts on measuring mindsets in a quantitative way. [16:13] Opinions on measuring and quantifying Social Emotional Learning skills and feedback. [19:19] Thoughts on giving and receiving feedback, and the challenge of measuring it. [20:38] How much of the mindset, creativity, and skills category should be part of a competency-based system? [25:29] Does Sasha see gamification as a part of the answer to measuring hard stuff? [26:09] What kinds of feedback can be given to young people about difference-making? [27:56] Ways to help prepare people to make a difference and help them build confidence in their impact-making skills.   Mentioned in This Episode: One Stone “S2:E56 Student-Led One Stone is Transforming Boise” DSST Public Schools Michael Crow, ASU's President ASU: School for the Future of Innovation in Society   Want to Learn More About One Stone?

The real reason why Arizona is not at the top when it comes to solar energy, plus we talk with former congressman and lobbyist Barry Goldwater Junior about how politics will change the world but what we need to do to make it happen. We also talk with Paul Hirt with the ASU School of Sustainability and he tells us several things we can all do to join the sustainable fight. He also talks about how ASU has more installed solar energy than any other university in North America. Finally Jason Zeikowitz turns so-called boring lessons into songs.

In a world where ideology informs decision-making and policy-makers have little understanding of what is plausible when it comes to negative emissions technology, challenging doesn’t even begin to describe the task of reversing climate change. In this top-down approach, a small number of academics, activists and politicians are making the decisions for 7.5 billion people—and spending a lot of time arguing hypotheticals rather than taking action.  Nori is using a different methodology: establishing a carbon removal market through the blockchain. Implementing principles similar to that of Agile governance, the platform seeks to improve systems as data is received and publish its verification protocol for stakeholder feedback, allowing the market to determine a range of carbon sequestration methodologies. Today Ross and Christophe are joined by UC Berkeley Environmental Science, Policy and Management doctoral candidate Jane Flegal and Professor Andrew Maynard of the ASU School for the Future of Innovation in Society. Jane explains the role of politics in constructing negative emissions models and the social dimensions of technological innovation. They speak to the challenge of scaling widely accepted carbon removal techniques, the intellectual debates in the space, and the significance of having a diverse portfolio of responses to climate change. Professor Maynard asks Ross and Christophe about the challenges Nori faces and examines the benefits of their approach. Listen in to understand the technical, social, political and cultural hurdles around tech innovation in the geoengineering space.   Key Takeaways   [6:21] The connotation around the term geoengineering Seen as negative, indicative of hubris Ideological fights within community Disapproval of additional interference Public awareness of geoengineering limited (under 10%)   [9:37] The role of politics in negative emissions models Include assumptions of technology that doesn’t exist yet Suggests lack of awareness at policy-making level Policy-makers must have idea what is plausible Establish mechanism to facilitate development of tech   [12:20] The process of direct air capture Extract CO2 from atmosphere, permanently sequester   [15:23] The challenge around scaling soft techniques Meaningful impact would require exponential growth Technical, social, political and cultural hurdles   [14:55] The significance of having a diverse portfolio of responses Cutting emissions entirely won’t remove risk Sun, greenhouse gasses and human behavior all play role   [18:28] The taboo around adaptation strategies (i.e.: planning for sea level rise)  Perceived as resignation, admission Comes back to ideologies   [22:42] The intellectual debates in the space Will the option to offset emissions cause people to pollute more? Who is responsible for funding negative emissions?   [20:45] The feasibility of addressing energy access in the developing world with renewables Some NGOs, foundations and academics discount negative emissions tech Responsible to invest in wide range of approaches in terms of risk-management   [25:39] The hurdles Nori faces Trust, verification Adoption Development of hardware (e.g.: IOT) for dynamic feedback Public perception of carbon markets Incentivizing verifiers (i.e.: cost, political challenge)   [34:09] The benefits of the Nori approach System built to improve as data received Market decides new methodologies Publish verification protocol for stakeholder engagement   [35:12] The concept of agile governance Learn from mistakes, adapt and move forward quickly Freedom to try new solutions (sandboxing) Engage those impacted (inclusivity)   [41:00] Andrew’s approach to thinking about complex problems  Can’t stand still  Must be careful moving forward Take small signals from early warnings Change course as necessary   [44:06] Jane’s take on the social, political dimensions of tech innovation Can’t simply speak truth to power Decision-making is political, involves ideology   [46:18] Andrew’s hope for the future of climate change conversations Less ideology driving discussions, far less pragmatism Consider portfolio of solutions, learn early and fast   Connect with Ross & Christophe   Nori Carbon A List Geagora’s Hackathon Submission   Resources   Jane A.

A Green realtor? And what are students actually learning at the ASU School of sustainability? We have the answer! And we can't forget live tunes! We have John Snyder, green realtor, Sophie Dorsten, green music and Chris Landrum, ASU sustainable intern.

Ask-a-Biologist program volume 072. ASU School of Life Sciences. Dr. Biology (CJ Kazilek) visits with physiologist, mountain climber, and astronaut Scott Parazynski. This out of this world show is all about extremes, both on the ground and in space.

Two scholars, Dr. Kay Norton and Dr. Sandra Stauffer, from the ASU School of Music come together to offer advice about writing from a performer’s perspective. Similar to the preparation for a musical performance, Norton and Stauffer suggest that students apply the same principles to writing. These principles include breaking down a large project into smaller component and perfecting the individual pieces and then assembling the piece in its entirety to create a polished final product.
