Nella nuova puntata di Parola Progetto incontriamo Stefano Cipolla, art director de L'Espresso e ideatore di Grafica Magazine, un progetto editoriale indipendente nato da un'urgenza condivisa: raccontare la cultura visiva italiana con profondità e cura.In questo dialogo live da Roma abbiamo parlato di giornali come “dispositivi”, del ruolo della grafica nel costruire inclusività, dell'importanza della stampa su carta, ma anche di archivi e di supermarket come musei di grafica contemporanea. Cipolla ci racconta anche perché la curiosità – prima ancora della conoscenza – sia il motore del suo lavoro e di quello di ogni designer che voglia raccontare il presente.I link dell'episodio:- Il sito di Grafica Magazine- La copertina de L'Espresso dedicata a Elena Cecchettin persona dell'anno- Il sito di Edicola Erno- Il sito di Frabs Magazines - Il sito di Reading Room- Il sito di Edicola 518- I lavori Ilaria Magliocchetti Lombi- Le copertine di “Piscine - Notizie per l'élite” - Il sito di Inque Magazine- Il lavoro di Stefano Rovai e Susanna Weber- Il libro “L'ultima estate in città” di Gianfranco Calligarich - Il libro "Un cuore così bianco" di Javier Marías

We all have that one client project we should've walked away from. This is the story of mine—and the powerful (and expensive) lesson it taught me. In this episode, I open up about one of the most challenging experiences in my interior design business: taking on a project that looked ideal on the surface but was packed with red flags I chose to ignore.

Ron and Paul discussed Ron's new home's kitchen design, focusing on space optimization and functionality. Paul explains why architects don't consider door swings, travel space, and furniture placement when they design a new home. And why these considerations are so important. Paul suggested making the kitchen island cabinetry 12 inches deep on the back and 24 inch deep cabinets on the front, resulting in a 49.5-inch counter-top. The counter top includes a 12 inch overhang to sit at on the back and possibly one side and a 1 1/2 inch overhang on the front. He recommended a 42-inch dining table with a 36-inch clearance from the windows. They discussed the importance of proper cabinet and counter-top dimensions, including a 36-inch cook-top and a 42-inch hood. Ron considered using Fabuwood cabinets and stacking them to the ceiling for a more built-in look.

In this episode of Better Call Paul, Paul McAlary discusses kitchen design options with a Ally, focusing on the transition between molding and cabinetry, the placement of doors, and the use of a tray ceiling. He suggests painting all moldings the same color as the cabinets or using a block of wood for a seamless look. Paul also recommends extending the tray ceiling to the kitchen and dining room to standardize cabinet heights and make the space more interesting. He advises on the placement of appliances, the use of floating shelves, and the benefits of having a small sink in the island. Cost considerations are discussed, with inexpensive cabinet brands like Fabuwood estimated at $20,000-$25,000 for a standard kitchen.

Summary:In this insightful episode of the Regenerative By Design Podcast, host Joni Kindwall-Moore sits down with regenerative farmer and rancher Gregg Deponte for an enlightening conversation about pasture-raised pork and its unexpected benefits for environmental health and community economies.Gregg, who transitioned from his tropical horticulture roots in Hawaii to regenerative farming in Colville, Washington, shares his unique journey. He explains how pigs, traditionally considered nature's bulldozers, can actually serve as powerful tools for rehabilitating land, managing invasive species, and improving soil health. The conversation delves into the challenges and opportunities of regenerative pork production, the intricacies of feed quality, and the need for more accessible processing infrastructure to support smaller farms.The discussion also touches on broader issues, including the health benefits of pasture-raised pork, especially concerning inflammatory diseases, and the difficulties faced by small-scale farmers in accessing markets due to industry consolidation. Gregg proposes innovative solutions, like community-supported cooperative models and diversified product lines that cater to both high-end and economically accessible markets.This conversation offers fresh perspectives on sustainable agriculture, the complex dynamics of local food systems, and practical steps toward creating healthier food options while addressing critical ecological issues.Website: www.olaainafarms.com Key TakeawaysHere are the key takeaways from Joni Kindwall-Moore's interview with Gregg Deponte on the Regenerative by Design Podcast:1. Pigs as Ecological Tools:Gregg highlights pigs' surprising ability to manage invasive weeds, rehabilitate damaged land, and create healthier forest understories, particularly useful in wildfire-prone regions.2. Economic Challenges of Regenerative Farming:Gregg shares the difficulties faced by small farmers in accessing processing facilities and markets due to industry monopolization, limiting their economic viability and growth opportunities.3. Health Benefits of Pasture-Raised Pork:Pasture-raised pork fed with locally-grown, chemical-free grains significantly reduces harmful omega-6 fatty acid ratios, providing healthier meat options compared to conventionally farmed pork.4. Cultural & Culinary Influence:Gregg's Hawaiian heritage and Asian culinary traditions influence his approach to regenerative farming, demonstrating how cultural roots can shape sustainable agricultural practices.5. Community Solutions and Food Accessibility:Gregg emphasizes the importance of community-driven solutions, such as cooperative processing facilities and shared resources, to democratize access to high-quality regenerative products, bridging the gap between premium and affordable options.6. Addressing Processing Infrastructure Gaps:The podcast addresses significant hurdles small-scale farmers face in accessing affordable meat processing, emphasizing the need for cooperative, community-based solutions to democratize food markets.7. Resiliency Through Community:Joni and Gregg underline the community's critical role in overcoming financial and logistical obstacles in regenerative agriculture, particularly in times of economic turbulence and funding cuts.8. Environmental Context and Regional Specificity:They emphasize the necessity of matching agricultural practices with regional climatic conditions, stressing the importance of context when selecting crops and livestock strategies for maximum ecological and economic benefit.Regenerative by Design is hosted by Snacktivist.
