On this episode of Practice Disrupted, we sit down with Joshua A. Foster, an award-winning community builder, designer, educator, and speaker. As the Founder and CEO of JAF Creative Solutions – a consulting firm dedicated to maximizing community impact in the AEC and real estate industries – Joshua shares his insights on aligning with architecture firms to integrate community impact into the built environment and practice. First, Joshua explains what motivated him to create JAF Creative Solutions. He also discusses how he nurtures strong relationships with clients, industry connections, and community leaders, working together to create meaningful and lasting change.Then, Joshua dives into his approach to defining success and value for his firm with a look at his development strategies. We also explore the challenges of building community engagement services, and Joshua explains how JAF incorporates community feedback into projects while maintaining a sustainable business model. Architecture, for me, has always been surprisingly so traditional, even though all of the people that I've met in it are really innovative... I think that, as a whole for the world, we're in a good place. As for the profession and people that are running architecture practices, I think we're pretty behind because we're not figuring out how to maximize on all these amazing talents, thoughts, and ideas. People in the industry feel like they have to completely leave it to be able to be innovative. As a profession, it's important for us to figure out – how do we capture these ideas and innovations into the traditional practice so that we don't necessarily have to start a whole new company? – Joshua A. FosterTo wrap up the conversation, Joshua shares his thoughts on how technology is reshaping community engagement and highlights his vision for the future of architecture along with his personal goals.

Episode 152: Architecture, And: Using Research to Tell The Story of ArchitectureHow can architects use research to advance diversity, equity, and cultural competency within the field while articulating its value to the general public?On this episode of Practice Disrupted, Kendall A. Nicholson, a licensed educator, architectural designer, and Senior Director of Research, Equity, and Education at the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA), joins us to discuss equity, research, and social justice in architecture. Throughout, he emphasizes the need for diversity and cultural competency in the field and highlights the value of architecture to the world. First, Kendall opens up about his career journey, which began with studying architecture, then moving on to teaching, real estate development, and eventually back to architecture. He shares his belief that architecture and design should be viewed as a combination of art and science. Then, he stresses the importance of cultural research and representation in the field. Kendall talks about his "Where My People?'' series, which brings attention to the challenges faced by different racial groups in the architecture industry. We also dive into ACSA's efforts to advance equity in architecture, including fellowship programs and accessible resources. Social and ecological justice is for the betterment of everyone. When I talk about diversity, cultural competency, or implicit bias, I'm talking about the byproducts of shifting the way we understand and interact as a culture. We often describe architects as world makers or world builders. If we're literally building the world to be a permanent thing, we need to make sure that we've accounted for everyone – the systems that are in play, currently and historically, have not done that. - Kendall A. NicholsonTo wrap up the conversation, we discuss how things like climate change, artificial intelligence, racism, and sexism affect how architects understand and perform their role now and in the future. He also shares his advice for architects looking to further utilize research in their institutions and explains how we can continue to be more inclusive as designers moving forward.Tune in next week for an episode about AI and ethics in architecture.

“We got the prognosis and they said, OK, maybe a year we'll see as we kept going. So we keep pushing the outer limits, but it's the perpetual opportunity to immerse yourself in the present. That's ultimately the outcome.” - Alex Peavey This week, Oteil and Mike talk with Alex Peavey, a mindfulness consultant and the Team Consultant and Mindfulness Coach for VCU Men's Basketball. Alex reached out as a listener of the podcast, sharing what a refuge the show has been throughout his battle with cancer. In this episode, Alex shares how he got into meditation and what role the practice has played in his life after his cancer diagnosis. They discuss the process of conceptualizing and emotionally processing your own mortality, along with different approaches to doing so. Alex also shares what music has helped bring him peace recently, and the three reflect on how the pandemic has reshaped their views.  Learn more about Alex & the Peavey Project: https://www.thepeaveyproject.org/ Alex Peavey is in his 14th year at Collegiate School where he served as the head boys' varsity basketball coach for 12 years, and he continues to work as a school counselor, assistant boys' varsity lacrosse coach, and mindfulness teacher. He has been practicing mindfulness since the age of 15, and with the knowledge that it can cultivate peace of mind as well as peak performance, Alex has been teaching these techniques to others for over a decade. In addition to introducing mindfulness to the students, faculty, and parents at Collegiate School, Alex has brought it to “Mindful Mondays” at the Cameron K Gallagher Foundation, colleges and universities across the state, regional and international conferences, correctional facilities, corporations, and the federal government. After almost a lifetime of practicing mindfulness, Alex found these strategies to be of the utmost importance last March when he was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer. Even in spite of the physical and mental challenges he has faced in the last year, mindfulness has allowed him to choose the path of joy over and over, and this is a path he hopes others have the opportunity to experience in their own lives as well, beginning with the gateways of awareness and compassion. ----------- This podcast is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

The spring 2020 If You Could See Me participants began meeting in February of this year. They were supposed to have their show in June. As we are all aware this year has been an exercise in flexibility, persistence, acceptance, and patience and our project is not alone in having been effected. These five amazing women have continued to show-up for themselves and one another in truly remarkable ways. We had to postpone and then reimagine what shows would look like but now we are to thrilled share their stories in a brand new virtual format on Friday, January 22nd, at 7:30 pm via zoom. Get your tickets at www.ifyoucouldseeme.com This week Erin talks to Roger Koller about his recovery journey and his desire to help others find peace and healing. Roger Koller says this about himself: I am a person in recovery from multiple life challenges including grief, anxiety, and addictive behaviors. I was born and raised in Richmond and attended Collegiate School, Trinity Episcopal High School and matriculated from University of Richmond in 1994. However, from an early age I faced issues that I could not understand. Thanks to some poor decisions and bad luck and misinformation, I found myself in recovery environments at the turn of the millennium. I have learned many things along the way, and it is a continuum where there is always something to learn from someone else and something to pass on to others who have reached obstacles on the freeway for which I have found solutions that worked for me, which I am now in a position to share.. I am now a Certified Peer Support Specialist, a WRAP facilitator, a SMART Recovery Facilitator, and have started and led several support based peer groups at different peer-run centers around the Richmond area. I have also had the pleasure of serving on many local peer center boards and committees.With this non-profit organization, I want to continue to develop solutions and innovations in collaboration with others in the community in ways that both mirror and diverge from what others have already done before me. I hope that we can work together to find more solutions for ourselves and each other.Support our show by supporting our affiliates!Get the irel8 app and support The If You Could See Me Project at the same time! https://irel8.org/ifyoucouldseeme/iRel8 is a global, anonymous peer empowerment platform focused on mental wellness.

Michael Joins Sustainable Nation to Discuss: The basics to climate action planning for communities. The roles of engagement and collaboration in climate action planning Including both mitigation and adaptation in climate action planning Climate Change Vulnerability Assessments Advice and recommendations for sustainability leaders Michael's Final Five Question Responses: What is one piece of advice you would give other sustainability professionals that might help them in their careers? One piece of advice I have is that you have to find some way to deal with the overwhelming challenge that we face and how it can affect you mentally. I talked to so many fellow professionals in this field who seem to kind of go through these peaks and troughs in terms of their sense of the problem and their ability to make a difference with the problem. Part of this is about taking care of yourself and your own physical and mental health and part of this is about developing good professional networks that provide some support. But, it can be difficult. There are certainly days where you can wake up and feel this problem is overwhelming and it's unsolvable. I remember after I read, David Wallace Wells, Uninhabitable Planet, I just sort of wanted to stay in bed for the day. A great book, but not a feel good book by any means. So, I think that's a real struggle for sustainability professionals and I think we have to help each other with that. We can do that through good networking and communicating with each other, and then taking care of ourselves. What are you most excited about right now in the world of sustainability? There's a lot to be excited about. You have to find the exciting things because that's what really gives you hope. I think there are a couple of important ones for me right now. I've come a lot more focused on getting better up to speed on energy and our energy situation. It just really seems like we are finally at that moment where we are really about to make rapid progress on renewable energy, both due to the cost of renewable energy, continuing to come down but also some of the other real benefits to things like electrification, electric vehicles, that sort of thing. I really feel like we're really finally at that moment we all hoped we would get to on energy. Also, there seems to be a resurgence in the global movement on climate change. We seem to be again in a moment of real activism around climate change, particularly with young people. I think that's always really exciting, although we need to get things done now today on this issue. It feels good that there seems to be this next generation coming up that's highly motivated to push really aggressive action on climate change. What is one book you would recommend sustainability leaders read? Now, the worst thing you can ever ask a professor is to recommend one book. We want to recommend 20. For me, the classic book on this was Earth in the Balance by Al Gore. I have to admit, I haven't gone back and read it recently, but I remember when I first read it, it really was the kind of book that inspired me and got me on the path to sustainability and climate change. I do want to give a recommendation for one of my fellow Island press authors, and that's Designing Climate Solutions by Hal Harvey. Island presses who publishes our book. They're a nonprofit publisher and they do a lot of great books on the environment, sustainability and climate change. Hal just spoke locally recently and I thought he gave a great talk and the book's full of interesting ideas on how we develop solutions for climate change. What are some of your favorite resources or tools that really help you in your work? Yeah, I was trying to figure out a way to answer this where I wouldn't just going to detail a bunch of boring government reports and things of that nature, which tends to be at least for me, a lot of the tools I use things like the Global Protocol for doing greenhouse gas emissions inventories. It's interesting, but it's not a page turner. I thought one set of things I could potentially mention were some of the newsletters that I read. Like I said, there's so much going on in the field of climate change, it's very difficult to keep track of the field. There's a couple of newsletters I'm really dependent on. There's Climate Nexus, which is a daily news digest. That's really great. There's something called EcoAdapt CAKE (Climate Adaptation Knowledge Exchange). They have a periodic newsletter that's excellent in terms of going over like case studies and new tools and things like that. One greeat energy related resource is called Utility Dive. There's a number of podcasts like this podcast I think are great. I also always try to listen to the Cimate One podcast and the Interchange from Greentech Media. Where can our listeners go to learn more about you and your work? Yeah, you can find me on LinkedIn of course and then my email mboswell@calpoly.edu. I'm periodically on Twitter, and that is at @mboswell

DAN-EL PADILLA PERALTAUNDOCUMENTED UNDOCUMENTED: A Dominican Boy's Odyssey from a Homeless Shelter to the Ivy League evocatively recounts Peralta's remarkable journey from the New York City shelter system to the Ivy League. Born in the Dominican Republic, Dan-el Padilla Peralta came to the United States legally with his family at the age of four. Life in New York City was harder than they imagined, and when their visas lapsed Peralta's father returned to the Dominican Republic. But Peralta's courageous mother was determined to make a better life for her sons. Without papers, she faced tremendous obstacles, and following eviction from their apartment, the family went into the city's shelter system. Peralta was only in grade school, but had a passion for books and learning, and the shelter's meager library became his refuge. It was there that Jeff, a young volunteer, noticed the boy's sharp mind and keen interest in studying. With Jeff's help Peralta was able to obtain a scholarship to the Collegiate School on Manhattan's Upper West Side, the oldest private school in the country. Throughout his youth, Peralta navigated between two worlds: the rough streets of East Harlem and the ultra-elite halls of a Manhattan private school.

This week on the podcast, Paul shares an interview he did in Lima with Sebastián Bravo, a local architect and maker of award-winning pisco. Studying and practicing architecture in a city with a very fresh history of terrorism and ongoing political corruption is no easy feat, and the rapidly urbanized/urbanizing city makes practicing all the more challenging, but Bravo is up to the challenge. We also briefly discuss a recent workshop Paul attended with the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture, which took a close look at why enrollment rates at architecture schools are falling, and the stereotypical misunderstandings of what skills high schoolers need to study architecture. In the news, we consider what it means for George Lucas to be building affordable housing in Marin County, whether metal really can move by itself, and briefly look to the deluge of Whitney Museum reviews.

METRANS Research Seminar Series, jointly sponsored by USC Price Urban Growth Seminar Series. Speaker: Marlon Boarnet Professor and Director of Graduate Programs in Urban Planning, Sol Price School of Public Policy, University of Southern California Discussant: Lisa Schweitzer Associate Professor, Urban Studies, USC Using the recently opened Exposition (Expo) light rail line in Los Angeles as a case study, Boarnet and co-investigator Doug Houston collected 7-day travel data from 204 households. Households were divided into two groups – an experimental group, within ½ mile of the Expo Line stations, and a control group, from ½ mile to more than 2 miles from the new stations. Each household completed 7-day travel tracking in fall of 2011, before the Expo Line’s April 2012 opening, and then again in fall, 2012, after the line was open. The data allow a comparison of before-after changes across experimental and control groups. The results show that households within ½ mile from the new stations reduced daily vehicle miles traveled by approximately 10 miles compared to control households. Results also show some increases in rail transit usage, and analyses that compare travel among households within and beyond 5/8 of a mile street network distance from stations show that the increase in rail trips among households near stations is statistically significant. Among study subjects who were the least physically active (approximately the bot-tom 40th percentile of daily physical activity in the sample), residence near stations is associated with after-opening increases in physical activity. About the Speaker: Marlon Boarnet is Professor and Senior Associate Dean, Academic Programs at the Sol Price School of Public Policy at USC. Boarnet’s research focuses on land use and transportation; links between land use and travel behavior and associated implications for public health and greenhouse gas emissions; urban growth patterns; and the economic impacts of transportation Infrastructure. He is co-author of Travel by Design (Oxford University Press, 2001), a comprehensive study of the link between land use and travel. Boarnet is a fellow of the Weimer School of the Homer Hoyt Institute for Real Estate and currently serves on the governing board of the Association of Collegiate Schools of Planning. Since 2002, Boarnet has co-edited the Journal of Regional Science, a leading international journal at the intersection of economics and quantitative geography. Boarnet also serves as an associate editor of the Journal of the American Planning Association and is on the editorial boards of several other academic journals. Boarnet was a member of the National Academy of Sciences / National Research Council Committee on “Relationships Among Development Patterns, Vehicle Miles Traveled, and Energy Consumption” which authored the report “Driving and the Built Environment.” He has been principal investigator on over 1.8 million dollars of funded research, supported by agencies that include the U.S. and California Departments of Transportation, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the California Policy Research Center, the California Air Resources Board, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
