TheSquare Ep #63 · David Rose | Explore
Thursday May 11, 2023
Thursday May 11, 2023
In this episode, David Rose, recipient of the 2022 Corgan Explore program, takes us on a journey to discover Scandinavian architecture and explore how daylighting enhances the visual experience. David spent ten days traveling in Iceland, Norway, and Denmark in search of some of the world’s most influential buildings and tells the story behind how Nordic light shapes beautiful and meaningful spaces. In his curated video documentary David Does Scandinavia, David explores the nine pillars of Nordic light as a universal element in architecture and interior design.
In his video, he illustrates how sculpting and capturing light creates compelling and memorable shapes -- from light carved from clerestory windows in the Oslo City Hall to the soft diffused natural lighting reflected Iceland’s Church of Seltjarnarnes. Join us to learn more in this fascinating commentary on Nordic light and its influence on modern and contemporary architecture.

TheSquare Ep #62 · Selah
Thursday Apr 27, 2023
Thursday Apr 27, 2023
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.

A Curious Conversation w/ Professor Amma Asamoah · Tuskegee University · TheSquare
Thursday Mar 30, 2023
Thursday Mar 30, 2023
Inspired by her activist mother who encouraged her at a young age to improve their neighborhood in New Jersey, Amma O. Asamoah dedicated her career to designing architecture in underserved communities. Earning her Master’s in Sustainable Architecture in Philadelphia and her BA in Architecture and Construction at Tuskegee University in Alabama, today Professor Asamoah teaches architect students at Tuskegee to connect with their roots and design with empathy. As architects, she says it’s our responsibility to shape communities and build meaningful places -- to push further, question, dig deeper, and tell our stories.
As a parent, professor, NOMA advisor, designer, and founder of the Legacy Project in Ghana, Amma has come full circle as a young activist and leader in education and architecture.
Listen in as she weaves her tapestry of ancestry, academia, diversity, and heritage in this episode of TheSquare.

Thursday Mar 16, 2023
Thursday Mar 16, 2023
Over the past several years, the city of Frisco and the district have witnessed exponential growth—topping national charts and headlines. Wrestling with growing enrollment and projections of increasing demand, Frisco ISD tapped Corgan to scale its infrastructure with new schools and expansions and upgrades of existing campuses while preserving the quality of education that had become synonymous with the district.
For Brett Sumrow, leader of the Education Studio, it has been a more than two-decade partnership in planning, prototyping, and stewarding resources to help design a district that has built a nationwide reputation for personalized, future-ready learning. In this episode of TheSquare, we’ll explore the challenges and opportunities of a quickly growing district and how a student-centric approach inspired the enduring success of the district.
