Solace Found in Travel with Casey Martin

Season 1 · Episode 20

Friday, November 6, 2020 • Duration 01:06:08

Interior designers have the capacity to produce thought provoking work that is regionally empathetic and culturally diverse.

When we travel, we open up to observing and learning about other cultures. During the process of observation we break down internal cultural biases. We become empathetic to other ways of living, working and socializing. We learn how to create culturally appropriate responses to global design problems. We increase tolerance among other cultures, religions and race. When we lean into a worldly viewpoint we are one step closer to promoting social justice. In this episode we will explore the importance of travel in the design practice and how to adopt this thinking while we can not travel.

Spatial Justice with Hannah Silver

Season 1 · Episode 17

Thursday, September 3, 2020 • Duration 55:37

When we hear the terms equity and inclusive design these days our ears perk up, but if you are like me you are left wondering, what does equity really look like in the built environment and how does a busy designer apply the concept of spatial justice to their practice? In this week’s episode we will look at:

An overview of what spatial justice means
Discuss the range of inclusion that should be considered
Look closely at mobility and access to sharpen your design practice
Discuss how to adopt a more spatially just practice

Let’s go from awareness to action in your design practice.

“Spatial justice is drilling it down to the individual experience within the design of space. In my mind, spatial justice is about how space is shared among people and how we have biased design. When we design for the “average” human, we really design for no one. It excludes so many experiences. Spatial justice is about bringing the benefits of good design to everybody, especially those who have been historically left out.” – Hannah Silver

Guest Summary

Hannah Silver is founder and inclusive design educator with Informal Function, LLC. I/F’s mission is to empower activist designers of the built environment through spatial justice education and project consultation.

Formerly she was an inclusive design consultant with AllGo.
She is an adjunct instructor at PSU in the School of Urban Studies and Architecture
Previously a sustainability manager at an architectural firm. She is a LEED AP for Homes, EcoDistricts AP, WELL AP, and.

ABC of UV Lighting with Lighting Designers Jesse Smith and Kaylene Campbell

Season 1 · Episode 16

Wednesday, August 12, 2020 • Duration 48:03

In order to minimize the viral spread in the built environment, designers across the world are exploring a vast array of strategies from space planning, to finishes to lighting. In today’s episode we are going to unpack UV lighting to understand the pros and cons of introducing it into mainstream built environments. UV has traditionally been used in health care applications such as surgical exam rooms to remove virus from surfaces. As designers explore how this technology translates to other market sectors we will unpack:

Effectiveness of UV lighting as a viral treatment
Safety concerns with using UV in public spaces
Safe ways UV lighting can be introduced into interior environments
Clients interest in UV lighting and predictions for technology advancement

“At this the time there is not enough research and education to the public on the difference and effectiveness of UVA, UVB or UVC. The key is to really understand which nanometer range of UV the source is emitting.” - Jesse Smith

“I think UV lighting strategies is a really important conversation to have with clients in light of everything that's going on in the world right now. However, I think the science needs to be stronger in terms of application. My concern is the ads for UV light that kill COVID. We are trying to stay away from eradicating surfaces because of the potential to expose humans.” - Kaylene Campbell

Read the full shownotes to review the differences between UVA, UVB and UVC.

Jesse Smith is a Lighting Studio Team Lead and Senior Lighting Designer at Glumac Engineering

Jesse’s background started in Communication, that lead him to Parson’s School of Design where he received an MFA in Architectural Lighting Design

Active member in local IES and IALD chapters helping promote better lighting through education

Designing for the Unseen with Mark Fretz

Season 1 · Episode 15

Thursday, July 23, 2020 • Duration 43:19

We bring into focus the microbiome of the built environment to understand what is happening on a micro level to interior spaces. In this episode we address what is on designers’ minds right now, COVID-19 in the built environment.

“Designers have a big role to play in the mitigation of virus transfer. Designers also have a role to play in the climate crisis. Buildings consume a lot of energy. While we're talking about biology right now, we really should be talking about energy because they go hand in hand. As we take measures to mitigate COVID-19 many of them have energy implications. They have land implications. They have urban design implications. We can't disregard the energy impact on the climate. We as designers need to think broadly. We have a substantial role to play.”

In this episode we will unpack:

What the built environment microbiome is
Differentiate good and bad microbes
Explore how good microbiome support human health
Discuss antimicrobial building products
Strategies designers can apply to reduce the transmission of viruses in the built environment
How to introduce good microbes into the environment

Guest Summary

Mark Fretz is an Associate Director of Outreach and Knowledge Exchange at the Institute for Health in the Built Environment, and Research Assistant Professor at University of Oregon. Mark's role entails researching how to design the unseen in the built environment for microbes, molecules to precipitation, carbon and energy in use, in order to promote healthy individuals, healthy communities and a healthy planet.

IHBE is at the intersection between biology, medicine, chemistry and engineering to look at how to promote a healthy built environment. Currently Mark and the team he works with IHBE are studying the microbiome of the built environment. Recently, they published considerations to reduce COVID-19 transmission, which is titled “2019 novel coronavirus, pandemic built environment considerations to reduce transmission.” We are going to discuss studies they are currently working on to make the built environment healthier for occupants.

Design Resiliency: Unpacking the Design Process to Create Adaptive Change

Season 1 · Episode 14

Wednesday, June 24, 2020 • Duration 31:19

Overview

In a matter of weeks, we have seen our entire health system retract, our economic system crash and our political system divide. Ironic! Guess again. We are in the middle of reorganizing some of the largest systems we value; our health, our economy and our political structure. In today’s episode, we are going to take a deep dive into the concept of design resiliency to unpack and inspire you as a designer to embrace change and sustain your design practice.

Design Resiliency is the practice of adapting to change. Being nimble, flexible, reflective, adaptive, and even embracing chaos. - Elizabeth Lockwood

“Resilient thinking is about how and why the system as a whole is changing, we are better placed to build a capacity to work with change as opposed to being a victim of it. A resilient system that has the capacity to rebound from disturbances does this by increasing its diversity and redundancy, by forgoing growth and speed in favor of sustainability, and by engaging in a wide range of small local actions that connect to one another.” - Margaret Wheatley

Health, economic and political systems collide.

Shortly after the world went into the stay at home order due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the conversation shift from human health to economic health and then it quickly became political. We began to divide as a nation and question even our good friends’ political views. It is more apparent then ever how interconnected our human health, economic health and political systems are. When we talk about one these days, we tend to lead into another. So now what? How do we unpack this all to advise our clients to make the best informed decisions when we are in the middle of a massive reorganization of our health, economic and political system. This is where the theory of Design Resiliency can be applied. It is a theory, model and tool to us during different phase of design or during business restructuring.

Moving forward through this episode I will speak on two different levels. One being the notion of having a healthy design practice during a recession and the second notion designing in response to pandemics.

Design Justice: Starting the Conversation on Social Justice and Equity in the Built Environment

Season 1 · Episode 13

Wednesday, June 10, 2020 • Duration 15:08

Design Justice is the intersection of race, culture and architecture.

With protesters across the nation calling upon communities saying, “it isn’t enough to be silent anymore.” The design community should do more, a lot more, but how? Even though the systems at play are so massively broken, doing something is a start.

In this episode Elizabeth explores how architects and interior designers can start to address social change and equity in the design process.

“We need to adopt a new role as a facilitator, not the all high and mighty practitioner that knows best. We need to be humble. We need to be vulnerable. We need to be willing to step down and recognize that the skill sets lie in leading teams through the design process. We need to elevate the voice of others. Now that is Design Justice. ”

It is highly recommend you reference the show notes for this episode. The quotes brought forward and resources from the show are worth a second read.
