In this episode of I Hear Design, host Robert Nieminen talks with Brandon Larcom, Global Director of Product Development at Gensler, about the strategy behind today's most effective workplace products. Larcom unpacks how research, user personas, and storytelling guide the design process—and why “hackability,” flexibility, and hybrid work are redefining what products must do. The discussion covers sustainability and circularity standards that are changing manufacturer partnerships, the role of emerging technologies in personalizing spaces, and how sensory experiences can strengthen culture and wellbeing.

This Day in Legal History: US Naval Blockade of CubaOn October 22, 1962, President John F. Kennedy delivered a televised address announcing that the United States would impose a naval “quarantine” on Cuba. This action followed the discovery of Soviet nuclear missile installations on the island, just 90 miles from U.S. shores. The announcement marked the beginning of the Cuban Missile Crisis, a 13-day standoff that brought the world closer to nuclear war than ever before. In his address, Kennedy framed the deployment of Soviet missiles in Cuba as a direct threat to American national security and international peace. He warned that any nuclear missile launched from Cuba would be considered an attack by the Soviet Union, prompting a full retaliatory response.The legal foundation for the blockade, while not formally declared an act of war, was justified under the collective security framework of the Organization of American States (OAS). The U.S. sought and received OAS backing to frame the blockade as a multilateral action rather than a unilateral act of aggression. Over the next six days, the world watched as U.S. Navy ships encircled the island, intercepting Soviet vessels bound for Cuba. Behind the scenes, intense diplomatic negotiations unfolded between the White House and the Kremlin.Ultimately, Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev agreed to dismantle the missile sites in exchange for a U.S. public pledge not to invade Cuba and a secret agreement to remove American missiles from Turkey. The crisis ended without military conflict, but it exposed the fragility of Cold War-era deterrence. The blockade, while effective, raised unresolved legal questions about executive war powers, international law, and the role of regional organizations in legitimizing force. It also led directly to the establishment of the “hotline” between Washington and Moscow and spurred negotiations for the 1963 Nuclear Test Ban Treaty.President Donald Trump responded to reports that he is seeking $230 million from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) for legal costs tied to federal investigations, stating he is not personally involved in the request but would donate any awarded money to charity. The New York Times reported that Trump is pursuing compensation, alleging the investigations against him were politically motivated. Trump claimed he has not been in direct contact with his lawyers about the matter but believes the DOJ owes him for what he called unfair treatment related to election interference investigations.Trump has filed two administrative claims—typically a precursor to a lawsuit. One challenges the FBI and special counsel's probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election. The other concerns the FBI's 2022 search of his Mar-a-Lago residence, during which classified documents were seized, and accuses the DOJ of malicious prosecution and privacy violations.The filings mark a notable reversal, as Trump now leads the federal government that previously investigated him. A DOJ spokesperson stated that any potential conflicts in reviewing the claims would be handled according to ethics guidance from career officials.Trump says Justice Department owes him money, vows to donate any payout to charity | ReutersThe state of Arizona has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. House of Representatives over the delay in swearing in Democrat Adelita Grijalva, who won a special election to replace her late father, Representative Raul Grijalva. Although Speaker Mike Johnson has said she will be sworn in when the House reconvenes, he has not called lawmakers back to Washington, citing the ongoing government shutdown and the Senate's failure to pass a resolution.Arizona Attorney General Kristin Mayes argues in the suit that the delay violates the Constitution by preventing a duly elected representative, who meets all legal qualifications, from assuming office. The state is asking a judge to recognize Grijalva as a House member upon taking the oath, even allowing someone other than Johnson to administer it if necessary.Speaker Johnson dismissed the lawsuit as “absurd,” insisting the House controls its own procedures and accusing Mayes of seeking publicity. With three vacancies, the current House makeup is 219 Republicans to 213 Democrats. Once sworn in, Grijalva would slightly narrow that margin to 219-214.Arizona contends the delay is politically motivated, aimed at stopping Grijalva from supporting a petition that would force a vote on a bill requiring the release of all unclassified documents related to Jeffrey Epstein from the Trump administration. Grijalva herself has accused Johnson of silencing her district to protect political allies and obstruct justice for Epstein survivors.Arizona sues US House over delay in swearing in Democrat Grijalva | ReutersApple has asked the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit to overturn a lower court ruling that restricts its ability to collect commissions on certain app purchases. The request follows a contempt finding by District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers, who ruled in April that Apple had violated her previous 2021 order by continuing to impose indirect restrictions on alternative payment systems for app developers. That earlier order came out of a lawsuit filed by Fortnite creator Epic Games, which sought to loosen Apple's control over in-app transactions.In the appeals hearing, Apple's attorney argued that the district judge went too far by expanding the original injunction, and insisted that Apple deserves to be compensated for developers' access to its ecosystem. Apple claims it followed the original court order but maintains it has a right to impose a fair commission, including on external purchases. After Apple removed prior restrictions, it introduced a new 27% fee on purchases made outside its App Store if the user clicked a link within the app—prompting Epic to argue that Apple is still undermining the court's intent.Judge Smith of the appellate panel expressed concern about the potential financial impact of the new injunction, suggesting the stakes run into billions of dollars. Epic's attorney countered that Apple shouldn't get another chance to justify its commission practices after allegedly misleading the lower court. The district judge also referred Apple and an executive to federal prosecutors for a potential criminal contempt investigation.A decision from the appeals court is expected in the coming months, and the case could reach the U.S. Supreme Court if further appealed.Apple asks US appeals court to lift app store restrictions in Epic Games case | ReutersSEC Chairman Paul Atkins is advancing a fast-track strategy to implement deregulatory changes without going through the full rulemaking process, which often takes a year or more and is vulnerable to legal challenges. Appointed under President Trump, Atkins is using policy statements, guidance memos, and interpretations of existing law to relax corporate disclosure rules, restrict shareholder proposals, and expand companies' ability to divert investor fraud claims into mandatory arbitration.For instance, the SEC recently issued guidance allowing companies to include arbitration clauses in their filings—avoiding formal rulemaking while significantly altering investor rights. Similarly, Atkins has encouraged companies to reject environmental and social shareholder proposals under Delaware law, without a formal vote by SEC commissioners. Critics, including Democratic Commissioner Caroline Crenshaw, argue this approach sidesteps transparency and due process.While Atkins plans to propose new rules on shareholder resolutions and corporate disclosures by April 2026, current changes are being made through interpretations and enforcement discretion. This comes amid a government shutdown that has furloughed most of the SEC's staff, further limiting the agency's capacity to pursue traditional rulemaking.Atkins has also voiced support for eliminating quarterly reporting and scaling back executive compensation disclosures. However, even if rules are adopted, their durability is uncertain. Previous SEC rules—such as Biden-era climate disclosures and Gensler-era hedge fund regulations—have faced legal reversals. Experts note that rules with bipartisan support and grounded in market efficiency are more likely to survive than politically motivated ones.SEC Chief Fast Tracks Agenda, Averting Slog Through Rule Changes This is a public episode.

Sam Bankman-Fried BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Sam Bankman-Fried has surged back into the headlines this week, despite being nearly two years into his 25-year federal prison sentence following one of the most catastrophic financial implosions in recent memory. According to a number of reports — including a detailed breakdown from Mitrade, Coinpedia, and Phemex — the former FTX CEO has broken his silence from behind bars, publishing a lengthy statement via GETTR that squarely blames the Biden administration for his dramatic 2022 arrest. Bankman-Fried paints his downfall as an act of political retribution, claiming that a shift in his campaign donations from Democrats to Republicans triggered regulators to move against him at a pivotal moment. He asserts his arrest was orchestrated to prevent him from testifying before Congress and to sabotage a major crypto regulation bill he had helped draft. While Bankman-Fried's bombshell accusations are making waves — with House Republicans demanding that SEC Chair Gary Gensler release internal communications about the arrest's timing — officials maintain the data from Gensler's government phone covering late 2022 into 2023 was deleted due to IT policy, deepening the intrigue and fueling partisan divides.He's also reignited the debate over his reputation, as outlets like CoinShares note a new PR push and a stream of public posts where he claims he now possesses only $100,000 and lost around $20 billion, adding a note of personal drama to the financial chaos that followed FTX's spectacular collapse. The tales of lost billions and politics have returned to the crypto zeitgeist, spreading quickly among influencers such as @AltcoinDaily and igniting renewed trader anxiety about the effects FTX's estate liquidations could have on markets like Solana and FTX's own FTT token.On the legal front, Good Morning America and Cryptonews confirm Bankman-Fried's appeal is advancing, with his next hearing slated for early November. In the meantime, his notoriety endures, with stories surfacing about his fellow inmates — a recent headline highlighted rapper Sean ‘Diddy' Combs, his former cellmate, now making his own headlines with an appeal of his conviction. Meanwhile, the Bankman-Fried name stays visible at industry events, as his father Joe Bankman appeared at the White Collar Conference just last week, delivering a candid interview about the family's ongoing pain and resilience.In summary, while Bankman-Fried remains incarcerated at Mendota federal prison in California, his relentless campaign to reframe his legacy keeps him firmly in the limelight, fueling ongoing debates about crypto regulation, political power, and the blurred boundaries between finance and politics in America.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Corinne Murray, Director of Global Workplace Experience Strategy at American Express, and Sara Escobar, Founder of Wielding Workplace, are co-authors of newly-released 'WORK then PLACE'. Corinne and Sara draw on rich backgrounds from Gensler, WeWork, Hulu, and Netflix to share insights on culture, workplace experience, and productivity. They explain the need for intentional work design driven by employee experience—digital, physical, and experiential—and how human-centric, flexible approaches empower performance in the distributed modern work ecosystem. TAKEAWAYS [01:50] Sara starts out in TV production and then moves to Hulu. [03:01] Joining Hulu as a startup, Sara chooses to develop their workplace experiences. [04:10] Corinne's time at CBRE, Amex, and Gensler, inform her strategic research at WeWork. [05:23] Strong cultures at Hulu and Netflix differ but are both developed with intentional design. [06:12] American Express builds its strong culture based on benefits resulting in long-tenure norms. [07:02] Organizations are not prepared for formal hybrid models before 2020. [07:56] Employees pushed experience and flexibility into focus post-COVID. [09:20] Architects' and Real Estate's periodic interventions limit impact on ongoing work design. [10:45] Flexibility jumped to a top employee after their pandemic experiences. [11:36] Empathy influenced leaders to formalize more balanced, hybrid work options. [12:45] Executives reacted emotionally to shifting work models, resisting a major overhaul. [14:30] Mandates fail to justify office returns since workplace experience is not just physical. [15:44] Corinne and Sara connect in 2021 amid return-to-office debates. [17:08] Sara launches a consultancy to inform and facilitate new workplace strategies. [17:54] Sara reaches out to Corinne to co-author a book, sharing practical strategy frameworks. [20:05] Corinne shifts focus from productivity to effectiveness. [22:56] To 'fix' productivity, it must be shared across teams, not owned by workplace. [24:56] Managers must hold accountability and measure output, not observe activity. [26:02] HR, IT, and workplace must partner to enable teams' effective outcomes. [27:21] Physical-first remits clash with flexible work goals. [28:36] Employees now better understand what makes work function well. [30:17] Team agreements are key to performance in modern work environments. [30:48] Trust grows from enablement, not perks or parties. [33:27] Change must be incremental to facilitate adoption and avoid burnout. [37:10] Start with high-impact, low-effort changes for users. [39:40] Strategy must flex for global, regional, and role differences. [41:03] 'Standards' can allow interpretation, like principles, to enable adaptability. [41:50] The "Daisy" model supports incremental workplace changes. [42:59] Corinne highlights knowledge work – its growth, volatility and success factors. [47:01] Sara highlights external research, such as parenting models, that offer workplace insights. [48:30] WORK then PLACE encourages humans to focus on what technology cannot replace. [49:15] Start by auditing what works to incorporate rather than rebuilding from scratch. [51:25] IMMEDIATE ACTION TIP: To shift workplace experiences and outcomes, find an executive sponsor, then clarify why and how the change should happen, and how to measure progress. RESOURCES Sara Escobar on LinkedIn Corinne Murray on LinkedIn WORK then PLACE QUOTES "The companies that I've worked with where the culture has been truly wonderful and truly driven forward the company's mission are where that culture is intentional." — Sara Escobar "We are workplace people. We do believe in the value of the physical place. But it's not the catchall for everything." — Corinne Murray "The workplace environment is truly physical, digital, and experiential." — Sara Escobar "Productivity is the responsibility of everyone from the individual to the executives to workplace to HR to IT." — Sara Escobar "We need to do this in a way that doesn't feel threatening and doesn't feel like an extra burden." — Corinne Murray "If you think about, you know, old factory lines, you watched the widgets being produced. That is what we've still fallen into in knowledge work. But you can't watch knowledge work get done." — Sara Escobar "We've identified things that are fundamentally harmful to the ability of knowledge work succeeding. And if knowledge work isn't succeeding, that means the humans doing the knowledge work aren't succeeding" — Corinne Murray

In the fall of 2026, Harvard-Westlake will open River Park (www.hwriverpark.com), a new campus dedicated to athletics, wellness, community partnership, and environmental sustainability. What you may not know, however, is that River Park was designed by a graduate, Steve Chung '89, the Global Practice Area Leader for Sports at Gensler. In this episode, Steve describes growing up in Van Nuys as a Bay Area transplant and finding community through following LA sports, a passion he leveraged into a long and meaningful career designing large-scale sports venues. These include BMO Stadium in LA, Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego, and the new LA Rams Village at Warner Center. Lastly, Steve discusses River Park, for which he feels unique pride as a graduate of Harvard School, which Steve calls the most formative educational experience of his life. Steve references Harvard School teachers Lee Carlson '50 and Carl Wilson as profound influences on his life and career in architecture.

De beurzen kleuren voor het eerst in dagen weer groen. Beleggers vreesden voor een verdere escalatie van de oorlog tussen Israël en Iran als Amerika zou meevechten. Die vrees werd in de loop van deze week groter toen Trump daarop hintte, maar het lijkt erop dat hij wil afwachten of Iran terugkomt naar de onderhandelingstafel voor een atoom-deal. Maar wie denkt dat alle onrust nu voorbij is, kan zich lelijk vergissen. Wij bespreken waar je als belegger naar moet kijken als je niet zit te wachten op paniek. En we hebben het over Tesla, dat komend weekend eindelijk de robotaxi de weg op stuurt in Texas. Die zelfrijdende taxi was de grote droom van Elon Musk, maar er ging een hoop gedoe aan vooraf. Er is nog steeds veel weerstand vanuit de overheid en er bestaat zelfs een kans dat die taxi's in september alweer van de weg gehaald worden. Je hoort ook over Philips, dat heel China als concurrent lijkt te verliezen, maar daarmee ook zelf mogelijk de volledige Chinese markt kwijtraakt. En we hebben het over de nieuwe baas van de SEC, de Amerikaanse beurstoezichthouder, die tal van maatregelen van z'n voorganger terugdraait.

Once bustling San Francisco neighborhoods such as Union Square and the Financial District have been plagued with high retail and office vacancy rates since the pandemic started five years ago.

A Note from James:"Oh my gosh, so many things going on with Bitcoin. Let me just summarize it. Obviously, Gary Gensler resigning is huge for Bitcoin. He was the head of the SEC, and this is the end of a regulatory cloud over crypto. Another major development is the proposal for Bitcoin to be included in U.S. strategic reserves. If the U.S. starts buying Bitcoin, which Senator Carol Loomis has proposed in a bill, Bitcoin could hit a million. I'm not even being too hyperbolic here. Plus, companies are beginning to adopt crypto, and tokenization is taking off.Today's guest is Omid Malekan, an expert in crypto who used to run crypto at Citibank. He's written extensively on the subject, and I love catching up with him to get his unique perspective on where crypto is heading.
