In this episode Doug sits down with David Polzin, Executive Director of Design at Cannon Design in St Louis. David is known for creating and fostering a creative culture within a large organization—something that proves to be more and more difficult. There is an inherent tension between structure and creativity in large organizations which means it can be difficult to spark innovation. But David believes that embracing risk and failure is actually very important for fostering a creative environment. New ideas are born from continuously iterating on ideas, letting go of attachments, and synthesizing constraints.The workplace is changing and the creative process is changing with it. One of David's biggest concerns is that people are becoming disengaged from their physical environments due to immersion in technology and that architecture should enhance lived experience and nature. We are slowly losing our connection to spaces and nature. It's on leaders to adapt their leadership styles to new generations and help rescue the creative process.Overall this is an incredible interview where David shares his thoughtful philosophies on creativity, design, leadership, and the human experience.

I started my career as a copywriter, and I learned a key part of my value to any client or any employer was not just the way I shaped words or filled a block with text – it was to advocate for the customer. Take their viewpoint.To this end, being an ‘order taker' was not going to help me create great copy. Or great marketing. I had to get underneath any requests or feedback I received from a client, to understand what they were really getting at, and hypothesize how the audience might react.So I love this lesson from my latest guest – ‘Figure out the problem.' A lesson she learned in her first job as an advertising account executive, and still uses to this day as a brand-side marketing leader.To hear how she learned that lesson, along with many more lesson-filled stories from her career journey, I spoke with Lynn McClouchic, Director of Brand, Marketing and Business Development, CannonDesign (https://www.cannondesign.com/).CannonDesign is the eight biggest architecture firm in the country, according to Architectural Record, and is the #2 most innovative design firm in North America according to Fast Company.McClouchic oversees a team of 60 creative writers, graphic designers, digital marketers, business developers, strategists, videographers, and photographers.

Green Building. Organic Architecture. Regenerative Design. These concepts have come to prominence recognizing the built environment as one of the largest contributors of carbon dioxide emissions, using toxic materials that can damage human health as well as pollute the environment. Following Nature's design process, our guest this week has developed an organic approach to design with an eye toward innovative buildings that embody ecological & social responsibility. Organic architecture, coined by master architect Frank Lloyd Wright, unifies every element of the building—from windows to doors and even floors and furniture—with Nature. Biomimicry has become an important advance in this movement, harnessing functional design elements from—mimicking—Nature. Our guest, award-winning Architect Eric Corey Freed, 12-time Author, and Director of Sustainability for CannonDesign, has made this central to his work when designing buildings. On this show we discuss Eric's approach to designing for the human systems, our senses, cycles, and signals, to engage people through using biology as a technology. We explore his process in how to build a non-toxic building that can also increase our connection to the natural world.

The cement industry puts out 8% of the world's CO2 emissions, but having said that, it is very durable and technically made with natural materials. As we go along this journey to build a sustainable home, we look into options to reduce the consumption of cement and therefore concrete in our home. We delve into the techniques to build a strong and dry foundation or basement that can withstand the upward ground water pressure and the thrust from the ground on the side walls with minimal cement consumption. A sustainable house begins with a good system to envelop the home to minimize heat loss and energy consumption. Besides insulation and construction techniques we look to windows and how they can help us in creating a tightly sealed home. A well-designed and thought-through window placement design can also help us with solar gain and create desired airflows in the home reducing costs of heating and cooling the home. What are the factors to consider when selecting a foundation or window technology? We learn more from our expert Eric Corey Freed, LEED Fellow Principal, Director of Sustainability at Cannon Design on this episode of Mindful Businesses.https://www.cannondesign.com/people/eric-corey-freedhttps://mindfulbusinessespodcast.com/#sustainablehome #oursustainablehome #mindfulbusinesses #U-Values #Rvalues #superiorwalls #triplepanewindows #tiltandturn #cementindustry #greenhome
Picture this: It's your birthday, you sit down at work and your favorite color of light comes on over your desk. Or a VIP walks into the building and everyone is notified via the lighting controls system. These are just a couple of outside-the-box ideas that Rob and Coffield have for smart building controls. Also in this episode, Ron puts up a defense for integrators. It's not always their fault. Coffield began his career working in architecture firms with a strong focus on 3D visualization and custom detailing. Projects included larger commercial buildings, as well as the design and fabrication drawings for custom light fixture installations. Over the last 13 years he has had the opportunity to design lighting solutions for an expansive array of project types including a large number of LEED Silver, Gold, and Platinum projects. Coffield has a passion for sustainable design and a talent for making projects come to life through close integration with all members of the design team. Rob is an experienced Electrical Engineer, project manager and systems-design integrator within hospitality, higher education and healthcare disciplines. An accomplished lighting designer and engineering client leader, he positively impacts quality control at a complete MEP oversight capacity. Rob is a role model for younger engineers and provides mentorship throughout CannonDesign's national engineering practice.
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.

The amount of greenhouse gas emissions that buildings are responsible for is unbelievable. Construction and operations of buildings account for up to 50% of global emissions. Everything from heating and cooling a building, to keeping the lights on, to the materials it's made out of contribute to climate change. But luckily, there's a movement toward more sustainable architecture. In today's episode, we explore green buildings with one of the OG architects in the space, Eric Corey Freed. He's the Principal and Director of Sustainability for CannonDesign and author of “Green Building & Remodeling for Dummies.” Eric has won countless awards and titles relating to green architecture. On the show, we talked about the pros and cons of retrofitting versus building new and how we can construct more climate resilient buildings. Learn more about Eric Corey Freed here.

The emergence of virtual reality (VR) technology for architecture and design has been making headlines in the past few years — in the future, they've said, VR will become an integral part not just of a client presentation but also of the design process. Well, the future is now. Ernesto Pacheco, Director of Visualization, and Coffield King, Senior Lighting Designer at CannonDesign, joined Sam on the LytePOD for an in-depth discussion on how VR applications can make a lighting design go from good to great and sell an idea better than any other medium can.
In part two of Sam's conversation with the Boston Lighting crew: Dan Weissman, Senior Associate and Director at Lam Partners, Kate St. Laurent, Associate Vice President at CannonDesign, and Sara Schonour, VP of Education and Engagement here at Lytei, the group dives into a new set of topics: what designers really want to see in new products, what they need as manufacturer and rep support, and new frontiers they see for lighting design services.
When it comes to lighting design today, Sam sat down with Dan Weissman, Senior Associate and Director at Lam Partners, Kate St. Laurent, Associate Vice President at CannonDesign, and Sara Shonour, VP of Education and Engagement here at Lytei, to explore everything from current design visualization software to designing and documenting and the tools they wish they had but don't have at their design disposal.

How can we reimagine and rebuild our towns and cities? In this episode, we talk to Eric Corey Freed, Senior Vice President of Sustainability at CannonDesign and Co-Author of Circular Economy for Dummies, about a key circular economy topic — construction and the built environment.What's wrong with the way we currently design and construct buildings? And what are the challenges in doing things differently? We discuss how we can learn from nature as a model for construction, and how buildings can regenerate nature as part of a circular economy. Eric explains that it's time to change the paradigm from construction to prostruction, moving from harmful construction practices to an approach inspired by nature.-- Discover more about the work of the Ellen MacArthur FoundationExplore Circular Economy for Dummies Follow Eric on TwitterLearn more about prostructionFollow the Ellen MacArthur Foundation online:YouTubeTwitterLinkedInFacebookInstagram

As our U.S. Olympian, Simone Biles, reminded us during the 2020 Tokyo Olympic games, we must prioritize the fitness of our minds and our emotions. Much like the "spikes" in viral cases during the pandemic, we are now encountering a "spike" of those who are struggling with mental illness and require treatment. The numbers are staggering, and some predict a wave of patients that our already taxed healthcare system will struggle to accommodate. What we need is an alternative solution that rethinks what short-term and long-term treatment could look like. We also need a solution that breaks down stigmas traditionally associated with this type of care. In this episode we chat with University of Toronto students Bronte Morris-Poolman and Damian Kercz about how their Senior thesis project Art x Pop-Up could be the exact solution we need. Their idea is to design "crisis stabilization units" that are strategically placed in communities to provide critical mental health services. We also speak to Stacey Root and Stephanie Vito from Cannon Design on how to design for mental health spaces, the history of mental health stigma, and the future of "Wellness Campuses" that combine care and amenities for a more equitable experience for all.https://ankura.com/insights/whats-driving-the-trend-toward-healthcare-villages/https://www.fastcompany.com/90638988/why-mental-health-awareness-is-here-to-stayhttps://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/05/business/mental-health-facilities-design.htmlhttps://www.metropolismag.com/architecture/healthcare-architecture/behavioral-healthcare-cannon-design/https://designgroup.us.com/expertise/unveiling-new-hybrid-model-healthcare-architecturehttp://www.koozarch.com/interviews/art-covid-19-test-centre/

As the use of design-build continues to grow nationwide, so has the need for new project tools to help collaborative teams share vital information. On big projects and small, BIM has become valued not only for its three-dimensional illustration of a design but also for its ability to help measure impacts that possible changes could have on cost and schedule. It’s no surprise that the use of Building Information Modeling or BIM has become so popular among design-builders. As Brian Skripac, CM-BIM, LEED AP, the Director of Virtual Design + Construction at CannonDesign tells us, BIM helps fuel design-build’s collaboration and innovation.

Hospitals are critical to the health of any city, providing essential care to the communities that they serve. Unlike many other buildings, hospitals can't simply close and send everyone away during an extreme event since it would be dangerous to the patients in need to critical care. In this month's episode, Stephen Elser interviews two leaders from the CannonDesign firm, whose work includes designing hospitals to be resilient to a wide variety of disturbances. We discuss what it means for a hospital to be resilient, the use of landscaping to create "healing environments", and the importance of tailoring a design strategy to meet specific needs.

Join in this intimate conversation with Jocelyn Stroupe, Director of Healthcare Interiors At Cannon Design--an integrated global design firm that unites a dynamic team of architects, engineers, industry experts and builders driven by a singular goal: to help solve their clients’ and society’s greatest challenges. My favorite part of the conversation was the wisdom Jocelyn shared around the humanity of healthcare design and how to bring in all parts of the project--economics, community, culture and the human experience. With 25 years of industry experience, Jocelyn is a leading expert in the health market. Jocelyn thrives on uniting the disciplines of planning, programming, branding, and facility management with cohesive, comforting interior design. She is especially invested in understanding the unique needs of all users – patients, visitors, providers and staff – in their healthcare settings.. Jocelyn derives inspiration for spatial and interior design work from many typologies but finds various themes in nature particularly fascinating – patterns and color, relationships between humans and the natural world, the changing phases of plant life. These studies provide Jocelyn with keen insights about placemaking and the design needs of people in these living spaces. As a result, her interiors evoke an optimism that creates positive experiences for patients, family, and staff. Jocelyn’s colleagues and clients appreciate her approachable, collaborative and genuine approach – and her intuitive approach to creating healing environments. Jocelyn is a frequent speaker and contributor to Healthcare Design and the Center for Health Design, among other outlets, and she has recently been named to Healthcare Design’s HCD 10. The annual awards program honors professionals across 10 categories of nominees, shining a spotlight on the broad spectrum of stars and their contributions to our industry, specifically recognizing accomplishments over the last year. Jocelyn has advanced Cannon Design to one of the most recognized in the industry – ranked the No. 2 Healthcare Interior Firm on Interior Design’s “Giants” List in 2017 and No. 5 Healthcare Design firm by Modern Healthcare in 2018. You can learn more about Jocelyn Stroupe and Cannon Design at: www.cannondesign.com. The Center For Health Design has joined us as an industry partner!

Thank you to The American Academy of Healthcare Interior Designers for their support of this show. Find out more about their certification program at http://aahid.org. In the episode you will learn: How more hospital clients are asking designers to create a patient and caretaker experience that sets them apart. The importance of using both the right and left sides of the brain when designing a large scale human space. How to get creative with patient-centered design decisions that meet certain criteria, including the budget. How to have confidence when working with your strategic partners. The process Jocelyn Stroupe and her firm Cannon Design used in the design of the 3.5-million-square-foot Centre Hospitalier de l’Université de Montréal (CHUM), one of the largest healthcare projects recently constructed in North America. How Jocelyn and her team at Cannon Design honored the natural environment of the island for the replacement facility project for Nantucket Cottage Hospital, in Nantucket Island, Mass., and how they honored two beach trees in the process. Within one year of designing the 126,00-square-foot Kettering Cancer Center, Kettering’s market share grew, employee engagement improved from the 54th to 70th percentile, and patient satisfaction is now in the 90th percentile. How did this happen? Listen in to find out! The best advice for healthcare interior designers just starting out. Healthcare design trends for 2019 and beyond. How hospitality is playing a role in healthcare design and whether this trend is here to stay.
