| TheSquare Ep #102 · Architecture And Film: Holiday Movies | 19 Dec 2024 | 00:39:11 | |
This week on The Square, we’re back with our annual tradition: unpacking two iconic films through a design lens. What do "Die Hard" and "It’s a Wonderful Life" have in common? At first glance, maybe not much—one’s a high-octane action flick, the other a sentimental holiday classic. But dive deeper with us, and you’ll find surprising parallels in their themes, characters, and even architectural settings. Join Brandon Carmichael and James Adams as they explore how these two films reflect their eras, from the suburban dreams of Bedford Falls to the towering corporate ambitions of Nakatomi Plaza. We’ll discuss how architecture plays a role in storytelling, the emotional impact of design, and the subtle messages about community, sacrifice, and redemption. Plus, we settle the ultimate debate: Is "Die Hard" really a Christmas movie? (Spoiler: Yippee-ki-yay, yes it is.) Whether you're here for the design insights, the holiday spirit, or just a little Bruce Willis and Jimmy Stewart love, this episode has it all. 🎄🏢 Happy Holidays from TheSquare!

| TheSquare Ep #101 · Unmesh Kelkar | Urban Planning | 05 Dec 2024 | 00:39:04 | |
Award-winning architect and designer Umesh Kelkar, Project Designer II in the Aviation Studio, spills on his Summer Design Competition-winning project, "Deep Rooted Ellum." Intended to revitalize the district in the Southeast Dalla neighborhood, Unmesh's vision for a vibrant mixed-use development on the Southeast side of Dallas garnered critical acclaim from the Urban Land Institute and AIA Dallas as well as the Texas Society of Architects and won the FW Land Award. Long known for its deep roots in Dallas and contributing to the urban fabric as the center of art, music, history, and culture, this mixed-use plan draws upon jazz music and blues, creating a vibrant, connected environment focused on vitality, richness, and cultural flourishes. His aviation and public spaces background informs his project, which the City of Dallas embraced. Influenced by Jane Jacobs, the renowned writer American-Canadian journalist, author, theorist, and activist who influenced urban studies, sociology, and economics. Her book The Death and Life of Great American Cities (1961) argued that "urban renewal" and "slum clearance" did not respect the needs of city dwellers. Profoundly influential in changing the built environment, she coined the terms "mixed primary uses" and "eyes on the street" and remains one of the most influential thinkers and leaders of 21st-century urban architecture.

| TheSquare Ep #91 · 700 Jackson Street: Parking Perfected | 11 Jul 2024 | 00:31:54 | |
Finding a parking space in downtown Dallas is often a daunting and frustrating experience. In this episode, we meet Carolyn Glenn, Senior Associate of the Commercial Studio, to discuss the new parking garage at 700 Jackson Street commissioned by Dallas County to offer jurors and city employees convenient access to parking. However, far from a normal garage, this unique design provides retail spaces at street level along with 12 levels of public parking with 1,228 spaces pre-wired for EV charging. Designed to be future-proofed, the elegant white structure features pre-stressed foundations and can support a 15-story hotel or office tower built on top. Draped in an attractive white metal panel with barcode-like vertical stripping, the imposing above-ground garage with chamfer edges maximizes every inch of space and stands out in the context of the neighborhood. Activating the downtown environment and adding to the walkability, beauty, and functionality of the neighborhood, the building is a landmark statement and a welcome addition.

| TheSquare Ep #62 · Selah | 27 Apr 2023 | 00:30:10 | |
Jefferson Street—the rhythm and lifeblood of North Nashville ceased to exist when Interstate I-40 roared through the neighborhood and split the community. The once vibrant district rich in history, culture, and economic prosperity sharply fell into poverty and decline. In an optimistic hope to restore and resurrect North Nashville, a team of architecture students from Tuskegee University designed Selah, a mixed-use commercial development offering museums, learning enrichment facilities, and business centers interspersed with outdoor walking paths, gardens, and greenspace to serve local residents within the underprivileged community. The design garnered first place in the National Organization of Minority Architecture Students (NOMAS) for the 2022 Barbara G. Laurie Design Competition. In this episode, Team Captains Trenton Scott and Tyler Littles share the video and concept behind their team’s passion project. Join us as these fifth-year architecture students explore how design can shape our vision for the future and reclaim underserved communities. #nomas #minorityarchitects #studentarchitects #nashville Visit: https://www.Corgan.com/ Also connect with us on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/CorganInc/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CorganInc/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/CorganInc LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/corgan Video Produced by: Corgan Have Questions?

| TheSquare Ep #58 · Mental Health and Education | 16 Feb 2023 | 00:32:13 | |
With a renewed focus of how the built environment impacts the wellbeing of its users, Corgan’s Education practice expands typical notions of mental health to consider the unique challenges of students through their educational journey. Education design has long considered how best to support the mental health of students including those with anxiety, stress, depression or formal diagnosis such as Autism or ADHD. However, in this episode of TheSquare, Chloe Hosid, Design Researcher at Corgan, shares the several other mental, social, emotional, and behavioral experiences in student development that profoundly influence how they perceive and engage with their space, their curriculum, others, and themselves. From the pressure to grow up faster to developing a sense of self, learn how education design can better meet students where they are—responding more empathetically to how these challenges evolve through their academic career and creating spaces that empower them as the leaders of tomorrow. #corgan #education #architecture #design #students #mentalhealth Visit: https://www.Corgan.com/ Also connect with us on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/CorganInc/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CorganInc/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/CorganInc LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/corgan

| TheSquare Ep #57 · Tai Kolisnyk Profile | 02 Feb 2023 | 00:21:37 | |
One of Corgan’s Project Specialists of the Education Studio, Tai started as a summer intern after coming to the US from the Ukraine to pursue her education in architecture, and she has been here ever since. After watching her mother work as a math and physics school teacher and learning the ins and outs of the profession, designing schools comes naturally to her. “Kids are curious creatures by nature, and teachers want to do a good job, so we help by designing buildings where they can work together,” she says. Despite the unrest in Ukraine, she says the communal aspect of the Ukrainian people remains strong as they are kindling a spirit of courage and positivity. “Even though the war has ravaged much of the country, people still find moments of celebration and joy, and hope to rebuild a new cultural identity expressed through architecture.” For creative expression, Tai speaks three languages and is learning Korean, listens to K-Pop, and plays bass guitar. Find out how the Ukrainian culture and her upbringing influence Tai as an architectural designer in this episode of TheSquare. #corgan #architecture #education #Ukraine Visit: https://www.Corgan.com/ Also connect with us on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/CorganInc/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CorganInc/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/CorganInc LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/corgan Video Produced by: Corgan Have Questions?

| A Curious Conversation w/Jennifer Zientz · Neuroplasticity · TheSquare | 19 Jan 2023 | 00:48:05 | |
Brain Health is at the top of everyone’s mind these days. New research is finding we can optimize peak performance, rebound from head injuries, and live happy and healthy lives well into advanced age, according to Jennifer Zientz with UTD’s Center for BrainHealth. The power of neuroplasticity makes possible expanding the potential and ability of the brain. Tapping into new research uncovers powerful tools to reorganize, restructure, change, and in many ways retrain the brain. With strong research to demonstrate how our mental wellness and brains are impacted by the consequences of rumination, negative thought cycles, and multi-tasking and how more positive cognitive strategies can encourage a new pattern of responses and experiences, the concept of neuroplasticity offers an opportunity to reshape how we move through our world and our lives. Similarly, in this Curious Conversation, we learn how to become an architect of our own brain through Strategic Memory and Advanced Reasoning Tactics (SMART). Jennifer shares how the research and tools of neuroplasticity can empower how you work and think to unleash your brain’s greatest potential. #brainhealth #multitasking #neuroplasticity Visit: Also connect with us on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/CorganInc/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CorganInc/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/CorganInc LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/corgan Video Produced by: Corgan Have Questions?

| TheSquare Ep #55 · Neurodiversity | 10 Nov 2022 | 00:34:23 | |
As wellness, inclusivity, and kindness find their crescendo in national workplace conversations—Gen Z and future talent prioritizing commitments to equity and inclusion and employers celebrating the value of diverse voices and perspectives, office design has both the opportunity and challenge to respond to not only the different ways we work, think, and learn but also the differences in how we experience and perceive our environments. Responding to the diversity of human brains, or neurodiversity, provides insight into how elements of the built environment including privacy, lighting, acoustics, and textures can impact our experience and productivity. From autism and ADHD to dyslexia, variations in neurocognitive functioning can profoundly shape how we see and experience spaces. Listen in as Sean Kim, Vice President and Interiors Studio Leader, explores the demand for an expanded notion of inclusivity and value of neurodiversity in the workplace, what we can learn from education spaces, and how design can create a more human, empathetic workplace for everyone. #corgan #neurodiversity #workplace #office #interiors #architecture #workplacedesign #HR #humanresources #ADHD #autism #dyslexia #inclusivity #DEI #diversity #inclusion #talent #design Visit: https://www.Corgan.com/ Also connect with us on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/CorganInc/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CorganInc/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/CorganInc LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/corgan Video Produced by: Corgan Have Questions?
