TheSquare Episode 15 · Sustainability & The AAFCU Project · w/ Commercial Architect Justin Dowhower

In this episode of TheSquare, Gabriel Oros joins Justin Dowhower, Commercial Project Architect, to explore how Corgan approached the design process for the new American Airlines Credit Union building on the American Airlines campus. The building's prominent location creates an opportunity for it to become a landmark at the gateway to their new campus. At the same time, the building's architecture complements the overall campus while preserving the Credit Union's own distinct identity. The design was guided by a sense of holistic sustainability and reinforced the Credit Union's commitment to environmental stewardship and the value it places on its people. Thoughtful, evidence-based design wisely allocates resources in a manner that provides tangible benefits to both the building's operational efficiency and employee well-being. As a champion for the numerous sustainable efforts at Corgan, Justin's aligned passion with the clients' allowed for a thoughtful, creative approach to creating an environmentally friendly building. He shares how many visioning sessions with the client shaped the guiding principles to not only focus on sustainability but also longevity and human-centered design. The sessions offered a platform to test new ideas with the clients resulting in a building envelope design that successfully blends science and art and offers a replicable model for future endeavors. Listen in as he shares his most valuable advice for how to probe design opportunities for innovative solutions and how to balance client goals and vision with good design.
