This is the Convo By Design Icon Registry episode for April 2025. I love these Icon Registry episodes for a number of reasons. At the top is the opportunity to show some gratitude for those who have made the time to share their stories, process and work with us on Convo By Design. They transcend design and architecture and their work is both inspiring and transformative.  This episode is desiccated to and celebrates the creatives, all who make up EYRC Architects. Ehrlich, Yanai, Rhee, Chaney, the names on the door and all those behind the badge who craft such extraordinary work. Over the past 12 years, Steven Ehrlich, FAIA, Takashi Yanai, FAIA, Mathew Chaney, AIA, Brynn Garrett, AIA, have all appeared on the show in various forms. It could be live at the EYRC headquarters in Los Angeles, on-site at a project in Rancho Mirage, California, it could be online via Zoom or live at WestEdge. Their work is wonderful, creative and forward thinking. Their creatives or thoughtful, immensely talented and open with their talents and willingness to give back to the design community, for these reasons, they are the Convo By Design Icon Registry Inductees for April 2025. In celebration of them and their accomplishments, I am replaying two conversations for you this week. Presented by Pacific Sales a Best Buy Company, partner sponsor of Convo By Design and friends to the designers and architects who trust them with their business. First, you are going to hear my very first conversation with Takashi Yanai from 2016 and then you will hear my chat with Steven Ehrlich from one of my very favorite site visits and live remote conversations from Ridge Mountain in Rancho Mirage recorded in March of 2018. I hope you enjoy listening to these as much as I did having them. Steven, Takashi, thank you and thank you to the entire team at EYRC Architects on your incredible work. You are going to hear it all, right after this. Congratulations EYRC Architects, every single one of you from the E, the Y, the R, the C to the associates and everyone that makes this firm so special.

In this episode, Cherise is joined by Carol Ross Barney, FAIA, Founder and Design Principal at Ross Barney Architects – a Chicago-based architecture, urban design, and landscape architecture studio. They discuss the Chicago Riverwalk and DuSable Park, both in Chicago, IL.You can see the project here as you listen along.For over 15 years, Ross Barney Architects has helped guide the transformation of the Chicago Riverwalk—a journey that turned a neglected industrial edge into one of the city's most beloved public spaces. Once a forgotten stretch of dock and concrete, the Riverwalk now invites people to stroll, gather, and experience the city from a new perspective. By implementing a multi-block design, what once was a string of isolated spaces became a continuous path—a civic corridor full of life.This project had unique challenges and opportunities: If you enjoy this episode, visit arcat.com/podcast for more.

You have been hearing the WestEdge Wednesday episodes since the beginning of the year and I do hope that you're enjoying them. This months addition to the Convo By Design Icon Registry was heard on the WestEdge Wednesday series in 2024 following his appearance on a panel at the show in 2023. It is fascinating for me to have incredible creatives individually on the show and equally amazing to hear them in concert with other talented creatives. In 2023, Marmol was on the podcast as part of a panel that also featured Sara Malek Barney, Christine Vroom and was moderated by Frances Anderton. The panel was called All Roads Lead to SoCal: Long Live the Creative Experiment. It seems even more interesting now than in November of 2023, no? Designer Resources Pacific Sales Kitchen and Home. Where excellence meets expertise. Monogram - It's the details that define Monogram ThermaSol - Redefining the modern shower experience. Without steam, it's just a bathroom. Design Hardware - A stunning and vast collection of jewelry for the home!  - Where service meets excellence TimberTech - Real wood beauty without the upkeep Leo's participation in this panel was extraordinary. He is a remarkable creative who brings a level of skill and talent wherever he goes and shares it willingly. Marmol is the managing partner of Marmol Radziner and has been since the firm was founded in 1989. Leo earned his Bachelor of Architecture from Cal Poly SLO. He also earned a minor in Philosophy. Which I think speaks volumes. Philosophy, as a discipline seeks to create more questions than answers. And when you are dealing with the concept of existence and other fundamental issues, it can be a challenge to navigate. Just like architecture. I find the architecture/ Philosophy combo really interesting. Leo is a painter, a fisherman. He is also something of a raconteur and lucky you… You get to hear him in action as we induct him together into the Convo By Design Icon Registry for February 2025. Enjoy. Congratulations Leo on your enshrinement into the Convo By Design Icon Registry and your extraordinary studio. Thank you for taking the time to speak with me and sharing your story.

Jeff is joined by architect and digital innovator Zig Rubel, FAIA, to unpack one of KP's latest thought-provoking LinkedIn posts: "I'm not an architect, but why did they lose the master builder position and why have they never taken it back?"With KP out of the hot seat, Jeff and Zig dive deep into the historical and evolving role of architects, questioning whether the concept of "master builder" was ever truly theirs to lose—or whether the profession has a greater opportunity ahead. They explore how architects can redefine their influence in the built environment, leveraging technology, AI, and data-driven insights to regain relevance in a rapidly changing industry.Key takeaways include:Why the traditional "master builder" narrative might be outdated.How AI and emerging technology could reshape the architect's role.Whether architects should embrace a new identity as the data-driven stewards of the built environment.The balance between risk, liability, and innovation in today's architectural practice.

Happy New Year and welcome to the final episode of season four (4)! We're wrapping up the season with a conversation featuring the incredible Peter D. Cook, FAIA, NOMA. In this episode, we talk about his remarkable lineage, his role in shaping DC's architectural landscape, and his work at The Contemplative Site at Monticello. We also discuss the importance of community engagement, the challenges architecture students face, and his contributions to DC's public spaces, including libraries. It's the perfect close to a long season. Peter D. Cook, FAIA, NOMA is a Design Principal and Vice President with HGA, a position he has held since joining the firm in 2017. A graduate of Harvard College and Columbia University's Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation, he is a nationally recognized architect based in Washington DC with a portfolio of award-winning art, community and educational projects demonstrating versatility with a variety of sites, typologies and scales. Common among them is his approach that values the establishment of a strong, personal connection with client and stakeholders, the result of deep listening and empathy. A direct descendant of Julian F. Abele (1881-1950), one of the nation's most celebrated and accomplished African-American architects, Peter served as one of the three lead design collaborators for the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of African American History and Culture.

And we follow each other on Instagram and I had wanted to do an interview with him and I asked him if it was possible to do the end of the year booklist episode and he kindly said yes.Greg Mottola, FAIA is a Principal leading Bohlin Cywinski Jackson's San Francisco studio. His human-centered design philosophy springs from a belief that powerful architecture must elevate the user experience, lift the spirit, and foster community.  His design work considers the project's particular context: its place, culture, and climate to create exceptional buildings that resonate.  This approach furthers their award-winning practice's reputation for sensitivity to landscape and context, the nature of people and culture, and the innovative use of material in response to circumstance. He works at a variety of project scales and typologies ranging from large institutional buildings, commercial, retail and hospitality projects, to extraordinary private residences. The throughline for this range of work is an approach that carefully considers occupant experience—one that delights all the senses and contributes to resonating, emotionally powerful architecture balanced by technical rigor and execution.https://www.bcj.com/Again thank you to BLOMBERG!Link to MGHarchitect: MIchele Grace Hottel, Architect website for scheduling and podcast sponsorship opportunities:https://www.mgharchitect.com/

We don't know about you, but we spend more time than we'd like to admit worrying about our future. Central to our concerns is how we're responding to climate change. It's a massive, multi-dimensional problem. People like Diane Hoskins and Andy Cohen of Gensler, one of the world's largest architectural firms, bring our anxiety levels down a notch. Under their leadership, Gensler has been innovating in material science and design to mitigate the impact buildings have on our environment.  Diane and Andy have a new book called Design for a Radically Changing World, and we wanted the back story on what inspired them to write about a more sustainable approach to architecture and urban planning. We also spoke with Diane and Andy about their childhood and how they found their way into architecture, and what's kept them excited about staying at the same company for 30-40 years (a rarity in our current era).  Find bonus content, full show notes, and more on our Substack: https://designbetterpodcast.com/p/diane-hoskins-andy-cohen Bios Diane Hoskins Diane Hoskins, FAIA, is Co-Chair of Gensler, overseeing a global network of over 6,000 employees across 50 offices worldwide.

How can architects use their work and voice to drive social justice, create a positive impact on the community, and inspire the next generation of leaders?On this episode of Practice Disrupted, we celebrate Douglas Ito, the 2024 recipient of the AIA Whitney M. Young Jr. Award. As a managing member of SMR Architects in Seattle, Douglas has been a driving force in the creation of over 2,800 affordable housing units, including 1,300 units dedicated to permanent supportive housing.First, Douglas outlines his journey into architecture as an Asian American and how his career at SMR Architects has allowed him to find his voice and specialize in affordable housing. We explore his passion for social justice and housing advocacy and why receiving the Whitney Award can inspire architects to engage in social justice within and beyond the field. Then, Douglas discusses the inherently political nature of architecture and highlights SMR Architects' commitment to fostering career growth and leadership development. He offers valuable advice for the next generation of architects who are eager to make a positive social impact. I think the importance of the Whitney isn't that every architect should necessarily have to go into social justice work or affordable housing. It's that even if you're doing work that isn't that – you have a voice. If you have a conscience that leads you to social justice, racial justice, or housing justice, you still have a voice and can make that known to people. I want to emphasize that outside of architecture, because it does no good to talk about it to other architects. - Douglas ItoTo wrap up the conversation, Douglas shares his favorite aspects of architecture and his insights for emerging professionals, encouraging them to seek out opportunities and build strong connections within the architecture community.Tune in next week for an episode about Guest:Douglas Ito, FAIADouglas Ito, FAIA Is a managing member of SMR Architects in Seattle, Washington.

Empowering the practice of architecture to achieve consistent, predictable, positive impacts on human well-being and planetary health is perhaps one of the most pressing topics in the AEC today. Starting with a review of the history of the search for Bioclimatic Law, this conversation with Dr Bill Braham, FAIA is an invitation to architects to reclaim their power. Bioclimatic Law is the relationship between architecture and life. In practice “life” is more narrowly defined by architecture as “comfort” or “comfort, health and well-being”. At its core bioclimatic design asks “What are the climate opportunities?”. The basic principle is to start with a clear understanding of the ambient climate and map those inputs to the design of the building - its massing, orientation, enclosure systems, and window sizes, locations, and shading devices. Beyond these truly passive methods, there are always active systems involved in maintaining a balance between heat flowing into the building and heat sources within the building.Our buildings mediate between the external climate and our lives. From a thermal perspective, actively managing the enclosure can lead to comfortable indoor conditions 60-80% of the time in most climates. From a well being perspective, as the external climate becomes more unpredictable and severe we have an opportunity to improve the quality of the lived experience of the buildings we deliver to ourselves to protect and shelter us. Join Kristof as he and Bill enjoy a thoughtful, wide-ranging discussion about the role of architecture in society and the role of buildings as extensions of our lives and goals. Big picture, we also want to thank you for being listeners who, in our increasingly soundbite world, appreciate the depth, breadth and subtlety of conversations like this. We're happy that you're noticing and valuing that we “go there” in these idea exchanges. Please keep your emails and comments coming.Bill BrahamWilliam Braham, PhD, FAIA is a Professor of Architecture at the University of Pennsylvania, where he previously served as Department Chair and Chair of the Faculty Senate, and is currently Director of the Master of Environmental Building Design and of the Center for Environmental Building + Design.

Show Highlights   The importance of sustainable practices in the evolving landscape of architecture. In-house HVAC design allows for tailored solutions that enhance system efficiency, better indoor air quality, and comfort. Promoting solar panels and backup batteries over generators ensures energy availability. Raising houses out of floodplains for sustainability enhances the resilience of homes against climate change impacts. Hoping for net-zero code to pass for broader sustainability goals in the built environment. Focus on custom residential design within a 200-mile radius. Sustainable materials and construction practices that enhance durability and reduce environmental impact. Effective communication of the benefits of sustainability can lead to better decision-making and increased client satisfaction.selling sustainable solutions to clients Right-sized HVAC systems are crucial for maintaining energy efficiency and indoor air quality in modern homes.   “What's changing a lot about residential design is that the sophistication of the building systems is just growing exponentially, and that you really have to stay on top of that. Quite often, you might work with a contractor that might say, ‘We've done it this way for 40 years, and it's worked fine', and it's like, ‘Well, no, we are building super tight houses now, and we have to bring in fresh air, and you have to make sure that everything is working, because it's not just how we've always done it.'” -Jane Frederick   Show Resource and Information Connect with Charlie Cichetti and GBES   GBES is excited our membership community is growing.

Show Highlights   Navigating global sustainability standards and challenges of working with different sustainability standards across countries. Importance of adapting to local codes and practices while maintaining global sustainability goals. Examples of projects in various countries, luxury retailers, and their unique challenges. The future of green building with a focus on carbon reduction and human health in building design. The need for generative design and inclusive leadership in the green building movement. Importance of addressing existing building stock and portfolio-driven solutions. John's collaborative and multidisciplinary approach to projects in his career. Exposure to sustainable materials and practices  Early adoption of sustainable practices and materials. REI flagship store in Seattle. Challenges and successes in certifying over 1600 Starbucks stores globally. Collaboration with USGBC and GBCI to develop and refine the LEED volume program. Impact of his work on colleagues and the broader green building community   “The other thing I think is thematic and necessary is that we can build a lot of really cool, perfect buildings and it takes a lot of effort and maybe they use very little water and no energy off the grid, but it doesn't account for the vast majority of the housing stock and the business stock and the office stock and the retail stock. The portfolio driven solutions are going to be another thing that is going to continue to drive the industry. It's like how do I take a massive machine and make it 20% better, because that 20% represents a whole heck of a lot of carbon and other negative impacts.” -John Harrison   “I think it's more about the ripple effect. The ripple effect of green building projects is pretty cool, and totally quantifiable. It's like basic math and something people understand, the ripple effect with people that you either influenced or helped along the way or they helped you along the way and what they've become and where they've gone.” -John Harrison     Show Resource and Information Connect with Charlie Cichetti and GBES   GBES is excited our membership community is growing.

This week's conversation is with Burt Pinnock. Burt is one of the most sought after preservation architects in Virginia - especially for memorialization work - and I am super grateful to have met him in recent years. We discuss his background and experiences growing up in Tuskegee, AL before moving north to southern Virginia. He has had a fascinating career so far with the opportunity to focus architectural conversations on the importance of contextualizing race and history, as well as the need for inclusive and collaborative approaches to memorialization.Links:The Hearth at William & Mary Afrikana Film Festival in RichmondThe Shockoe Project Shockoe Hill African Burying Ground BaskervillJXN Skipwidth-Roper CottageTangible Remnants on InstagramTangible Remnants WebsiteLinkedTr.ee for resourcesEarn CEUs for listening to this podcastSignup for Ask Me Anything w/ Nakita ReedGabl Media NetworkSarah Gilberg's MusicBio: Burt Pinnock, FAIA, NOMA is Principal & Chairman of the Board at Baskervill in Richmond, VA.

On today's episode of Architectette we share a conversation with Jill Bergman, FAIA, FACHA. Jill is a Senior Health Strategist at HDR, based in San Francisco, California. She has focused on healthcare facility design for her entire career, mostly working on large projects and medical planning.  We talk about:  - The power of focusing her career on one specific project type and how her after-work involvement helped her deepen her knowledge of healthcare architecture, build a strong community, and expand her impact. - Her recent elevation to FAIA and why she was advised to consider applying as a milestone, rather than a lifetime achievement (fun fact: it's both!). - We next talk about Jill's early career experience as a mentee and how she draws from that experience as she heads the AIA Academy of Architecture for Health, Colleague 2 Colleague Mentorship Program. - We talk a bit about applying the “yes, and...” principles of improv to architecture and Jill shares a few specific lessons from her incredible standing-room only 2023 Women's Leadership Summit Session. - We end by discussing how data analytics and benchmarking as well as in-person shadowing experiences in the hospital have influenced her work as an architect.

The Renaissance Center has been at the center of Detroit's skyline since the 1970s - and it's a building with a fascinating past, present, and future.  With General Motors moving out and going to two floors of the Hudson's Detroit up Woodward Avenue, in the next year GM and Bedrock will be working together to try to find new uses for the 5.5 million square foot complex that today is mostly offices and a hotel. I felt like we should learn a bit more about the building, and talk about way to not only redevelop it, but connect it to the rest of the city of Detroit. I say "connect" because the initial design was very intentionally separated from the rest of the city. Through a number of interior redesigns, the RenCen of today is quite different than what was built. And what we see going forward? Might be quite a bit different than today - even on the outside. To talk about the history, what's going on now and the future? Mark Nickita is our guest.  Mark Nickita, FAIA is an urbanist, architect, retail entrepreneur, developer, educator, an elected municipal leader, and co- founder and President of Archive DS. He has vast experience in the development, enhancement and the regeneration of pedestrian-oriented urban environments including downtowns, neighborhoods, developed corridors, mixed-use areas and underutilized districts of post-industrial cities. Architectural and urban design projects include adaptive-reuse, historic rehabilitation and new infill buildings in a variety of cities, typically on challenging urban sites that require unique design solutions.  I hope you enjoy (and learn something) from this conversation.  Feedback as always - dailydetroit - at - gmail - dot - com or 313-789-3211 Follow us on Apple Podcasts: https://lnk.to/dailydetroitonapple Thanks to our members: http://www.patreon.com/dailydetroit
