Join the Enabled Disabled Community: https://www.enabledchat.com Universal Design: How "Inclusive Architecture" Benefits Businesses & People Michael Kimmelman, the architecture critic of The New York Times, wrote that the planning and designing of public and commercial spaces for accessibility and diversity shouldn't be seen as a requirement, but instead, as an opportunity, both economic and creative. And he also emphasized that such a vision required a shift in mindset: Universal Design (UD). With one in four American adults living with a disability, it's hard to believe that only a handful of organizations and institutions have truly embraced the benefits of Universal Design, but for some reason, it is still largely misunderstood and rarely applied. Did you know that universally designed spaces don't cost significantly more, are just as aesthetically pleasing, and lead to healthier, more inclusive, and productive environments for more people? This program will change forever–and for the better–the way you look at commercial buildings, public spaces, and bathrooms. Join Gustavo Serafini, host of the Enabled Disabled Podcast, and his guests, Jonathan White, Director of Design Consulting at the IDEA Center in SUNY Buffalo, and Julie Sawchuk, Accessibility Consultant, in a dynamic dialog about the big and small benefits that businesses–and the people in them–derive from UD. In this conversation you will discover: The main goals businesses usually have when designing their commercial spaces How YOUR experience changes, and what you can expect, as a user of universally designed public or commercial spaces What your future house, office building, school, library, government agencies, and shopping centers will look like when they are universally designed And so much more! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/enableddisabled/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/enableddisabled/support

Nicolina is a super smart woman and consultant firm business owner. She is a woman who isn't afraid of doing the hard work and over the course of her life so far, that mindset has paid off. After majoring in finance with a full ride scholarship, after being told she wasn't smart enough for college, and having some really solid mentoring in her career path, Nicolina decided to open her own consulting firm to design instructional resources for organizations. Her decision to enter into an industry that would always need help was a wise one. Today she works with City and Corporations to create Learning and Development Programs. Her company is called Bee Smart. She is currently digitizing all of the current instructional classes for multiple city programs that she is involved in with The City of New York as well as creating instructional courses for private companies. Nicolina is originally from Bolivia and because of this, she doesn't take her opportunities or becoming an American lightly. Nicolina is really good at expressing how grateful she is to be able to work in this country. She is a reminder to anyone who is American, to be grateful for the freedom that we have to create businesses and thrive here, unlike many other places on the planet. Mel & Nicolina discuss the actual industry of creating learning and development programs as a profession, the importance of hard work, the struggles as a Latina woman in business and just being a woman in general in the work place, and the many ways these two girls have bonded over their friendship. Nicolina lives by the saying Be Curious, Get Motivated, & Work Hard and it hasn't let her down yet. Nicolina recommends reading The Lean Startup, The 6 Disciplines of Breakthrough Learning, and The Art of Learning. Try using Overdrive to read for free.

In the summer of 2008, Kim Nadel suddenly lost her husband. In an instant she became the single mom to her two young teenage boys. Living in Brooklyn, New York, Kim found solace in a special corner in her backyard where she had placed a giant daybed under a weeping birch tree. This old, wise tree held and nourished her through this dark time.  Little did Kim know that this special tree would plant a seed in her heart for her work as an interior designer. Kim moved to southern California where she opened her firm and began to specialize in biophilia -- the love of nature and all living things.

3 Invaluable Lessons from Zig Rubel Curiosity allows you to see the world differently and solve both complex and mundane issues more effectively. We need to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. We have to be willing to take risks and approach the world with a "what's possible attitude.   This week, host Sue Dyer speaks with Zigmund Rubel, the President and CEO of A Design+ Consulting. As an architectural design and consultancy firm, they specialize in data-driven processes focused on planning that integrates the healing, learning, and discovering of buildings. Join us as we dive into the idea of curiosity and integrating a culture of curiosity into teams.   Defining Curiosity and Its Importance in our Teams (02:48)   Curiosity is the journey to understand "what else is out there" and what could be done differently. It requires developing a unique solution for a need or a problem.  Curiosity forces someone to be engaged and committed to a specific outcome.  Sometimes curiosity may not yield anything valuable, and that's ok.  The benefit is to learn and define your boundaries of what the question should be, and the outcome directs you or the team to become more of a learning-based type of group.   A Practical Approach to Curiosity (04:09)   Realizing the importance of seeing our surroundings. Having the ability to question whether what we are doing makes sense. Could there possibly be a better way to approach the situation we are in.   Building a “Culture of Curiosity” (05:11)   Assume that there is a better way of doing something – rejecting the status quo. Curiosity requires us to be uncomfortable with our internal biases and question whether there is something better. Curiosity should more of a bunch of data points you put together to make the best decision going forward. Leaders need patience and forgiveness with their team because a curious team is going to take longer because they aren’t going to use a “tried and true” method. Curiosity is built on mundane things.   Examples of Curiosity’s Role in a Project Setting (07:04)   Partnering projects: Ultimately making their needs, your needs. Funding Availability: Approaching from a "what's possible" perspective. You need to both, have the drive and the interest to see what is out there, and be willing to change. Education is a responsibility of curiosity – if you have a great idea, you need to get people on board otherwise people are going to just do the same thing they always do.     Melding Curiosity and Creativity (12:11)   Creativity is more about the investigation and the outcome of a specific task. Creativity requires Curiosity. The key is asking questions about what could be different.   The Biggest Barriers to Curiosity (13:26)   Our Internal Bias prevents from being curious. The most creative students are kindergartners, because they have no bias. Our own impatience keeps us from fully realizing potential. We must be willing to be incorrect – we need to be comfortable with being uncomfortable.   Focusing on the Mundane (16:04)   The matrix of urgent, non-urgent, important, not important.  We often focus on the “urgent, not important" tasks as opposed to the "important, non-urgent" tasks. We need to focus on addressing the right issues, even when they aren't urgent. Unfortunately, the mundane things tend to cause the most trouble.   More About A Design + Consulting (20:22)   They are a small design and consulting practice of mostly healthcare architects. We all know there's a better way to do our job, and that's what unites us as a team. They are located in San Francisco and they are considering having more of a presence in China and India (these countries have really challenging project needs and they are more open to curiosity and unique solutions). When consulting, they focus on building the right building and sizing the building.   Zig’s Greatest Strengths as a Leader (24:37)   Zig’s greatest strength as a leader is his curiosity.  He has always felt that there could be a better way of doing things.  He likes to get the group’s opinion and buy-in.  He engages the team in a manner that they move along, and he knows that sometimes someone on the team is going to point out something that no one had thought of that will change the outcome.   Zig’s Greatest Career Challenge (27:03)   Starting a new company and finding clients to work with that are willing to be patient with a new company. Curiosity comes with risk.  You need to be persistently consistent, and consistently persistent.  You need to have your share of resilience with curiosity because you are going to have disappointment.   The Very Best Advice Zig Has Ever Gotten (30:12)   Be confident. Trust that your assumptions and desires are right.  Be confident in your beliefs.   Zig’s Favorite Piece of Technology (31:40)   His phone: It allows him to do just about anything he needs to do.   Resources for Listeners   Operational Tool from A Design + Consulting Book Recommendations: “A More Beautiful Question”  "Collective Genius: The Art and Practice of Leading Innovation" “Creativity Inc.”    Contact Zig   Contact Zig by Email Contact Zig on LinkedIn A Design + Consulting Website   Zig’s Parting Advice (35:33) You need to wake up feeling uncomfortable and wanting to change the world.  If you're curious, you believe something can be better.   Email Sue Dyer at sue@constructiondreamteam.com if you are interested in participating in our Construction Scorecard beta-test.   Construction Nation!

Would you build a building without a blueprint? Probably not. The same applies to AV design. That's because technology in architectural design isn't an afterthought—it's an expectation, said technology master planning expert Robert Pourciau. He joined us on today's episode of the Pro AV Podcast, brought to you by Marketscale to explain the practicalities of technology design and discuss the benefits this kind of planning has on your business. “We live in a service-oriented world, which makes the experience economy a facet in all our lives,” Pourciau said. “Technology is an integral component to drive it when seamlessly fused with spaces and content.” Pourciau, who is Director of Design Consulting for Burbank-based Electrosonic, pointed out that technology is often the differentiator in the experience economy — making things seamless, easy to use, and most importantly, memorable. The ability to fuse content and advanced tech features into a building requires this kind of advanced planning at the developmental stages of a building project. Electrosonic is making technology master plans a standard for the industry, and are an example of how the AV industry has shifted from solely integrators to consultants in the project process. For instance, Electrosonic provides a single point of contact for its clients to simplify coordination. Electrosonic is then ultimately responsible and accountable for the technology design, Pourciau said. “We provide the coordinated set of technology master planning documentation.”

As graphic and web designers, we do a lot of behind-the-scenes work that we don’t always charge for. But what if we did? In this episode, we expand upon a listener question to talk about the topic of charging clients for all those little things we do that don’t count as “design” work.
