For our latest podcast, we talked to Myrrh Caplan, who is Senior VP for Sustainability at Skanska and leads the construction company's national sustainability team. Since joining Skanska as a Project Manager in 2005, Myrrh has helped shape Skanska's national approach to sustainable building. She established the company's first national Green Construction program and chaired Skanska's first National Green Council. Myrrh has advised on nearly 300 certified projects and projects seeking LEED, Living Building Challenge, WELL, Envision, and other certifications. She sits on the board of mindfulMaterials, serves on several industry committees, and participates in research with key partners. We heard from Myrrh about her passion for weaving a positive legacy through the work, and how she brings that to the projects and to the overall enterprise. She speaks about her team as a family that is “in it together” and she is proud of how shared success, to this group of people, “comes before egos.”  She told us about a recent accomplishment, her work on the Associated General Contractors Playbook on Decarbonization and Carbon Reporting in construction (https://www.agc.org/climate-change-playbook). And we couldn't resist asking Myrrh to talk about some notable recent projects, including PDX (the new airport in Portland, Ore., designed by ZGF) and the Moynihan Train Hall at Penn Station (in New York City, designed by SOM). 

This week's episode features an insightful episode with Steven Lewis, FAIA, NOMAC. Steven touches on the challenges faced by Black architects in the profession and the importance of unity and love in addressing these issues.

This week, we're exploring buildings that are biophilic, climate resilient, and set the gold standard for net positive, responsible design. Specifically, we'll dive deep into two projects by ZGF Architects, an industry leader in sustainable and regenerative design: Portland's PAE Building, the first developer-driven Living Building,  and the very biophilic expansion of the main terminal at Portland International Airport. Our guest today is Kathy Berg, a partner with ZGF, who worked closely on both projects. In this episode, we chat with Kahty about bringing nature into the built environment, designing buildings meant to last into the distant future, and the amazing technology that supports climate resilience. Show NotesZGF ArchitectsAbout Kathy BergPAE Engineers, The PAE Living BuildingPort of Portland, PDX Airport Main Terminal ExpansionFollow ZGF Architects on Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTubeKey Words: Biophilia, Biophilic Design, Biophilic Architecture, Architecture, Living Building, Living Building Challenge, Sustainability, Climate Resilience, Green Building, Built Environment, Nature, Nature Based Solutions

In this episode, Cherise is joined by Brian Kenworthy, Design Principal at ZGF Architects based in ZGF's Los Angeles office. Brian shares insights into his work on the California Science Center, Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center in Los Angeles, California. As the permanent home of Endeavour—one of America's most priceless artifacts—California Science Center's 200,000 SF Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center will be a symbol of American ingenuity and its renowned legacy of space exploration.Characterized by a curvilinear design of exterior forms clad in stainless steel, the new addition's architectural expression is inspired by the aerodynamic, fluid geometry of the Endeavour's fuselage, cockpit, wings, and vertical stabilizer. The primary structure will be three stories, while the shuttle gallery will rise six stories—peaking at 200 feet - to accommodate the height of the Endeavour in launch position. To see project photos and details discussed, visit arcat.com/podcast Amie Nulman, Associate Principal of Building Structures at ARUP, Los Angeles, provides additional insight as the lead structural engineer and project manager on the project. This project provided unique challenges and opportunities - a fragile artifact to build around, a flexible warehouse intended to host a variety of extreme displays, engineering expertise across decades and disciplines, and much more.If you enjoy this show, you can find similar content at Gābl Media.

Justin Brooks, principal of ZGF in Portland, Oregon, joins the podcast to discuss the design process behind UCSF's Nancy Friend Pritzker Psychiatry Building, designing for mental health, and how the built environment impacts patient care.

When layers of wood are put together in a specific way—usually glued together—they make for a material that has the structural strength of steel. And, surprisingly, is fire-proof. We're not talking log cabins but a specific kind of wood material commonly known in architectural circles as mass timber. Portland International Airport's new main terminal is part of a race to build the biggest building out of this wonder material. But exactly how sustainable is it? Figuring out exactly where the wood comes from, how it is grown and harvested, and how the mass timber products are used and reused is vital for getting an accurate picture of a mass timber building's carbon footprint Jacob Dunn and Marty Brennan, both Associate principals at ZGF, are two of the designers behind that Portland Airport Building. And they have developed a tool called the UpStream Forestry Carbon & LCA Tool, in partnership with the University of Washington, to track the amount of carbon sequestered—or emitted—by mass timber. In this episode, Metropolis digital editor Ethan Tucker speaks with Jacob Dunn and Marty Brennan to learn more about their tool and why all wood buildings are not created equal.

Architect Arathi Gowda leads ZGF's East Coast Sustainability Practice. She is an advocate for collective climate action and is the current co-chair of US Architects Declare and a member of the American Institute of Architects' Committee on the Environment Leadership Group. Arathi was at SOM for 20 years in Chicago before moving recently to her new role, and her move to DC reflects her ambitions around climate and advocacy as part of architecture. Arathi is a keen observer of the architecture profession and the real estate and financial realms in which it functions. She notes that following the persistence of NIMBY-ism for years, “we are finally getting to a moment when there is no more Someone Else's Backyard. Those of us who have some political power and institutional capacity need to do whatever we can to amplify that.” She  points out that designers, as the optimists in the house, need to be rendering a post apocalyptic future that is beautiful and beneficial. “We need to show how positive the solutions for the collective good can be,” she says. 

Episode 063: Podcast Live: DAC Leadership Series: From Team Member to Office LeaderHow can midcareer architects successfully transition from project work into more senior roles dealing with staffing and operations?

One of the most recognizable buildings on Portland's skyline, the KOIN Center helped revitalize downtown in the 1980s, but only after its South Auditorium District wiped out a neighborhood. In the basement is the TV station the building's name, where for decades some of the city's most venerable newscasters have sat at the anchor desk. And long before the KOIN Center, Oregon's greatest women's suffrage leader, Abigail Scott Duniway, lived in a house here just over a century ago. Our first interview features Jan Willemse of architecture firm ZGF, who discusses the KOIN Center's architectural beginnings. In second interview, longtime KOIN anchor Jeff Gianola reflects on his career. And in a special third interview, historian Jennifer Chambers discusses Abigail Scott Duniway's continuing legacy.
