TheSquare Ep #57 · Tai Kolisnyk Profile

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.

A Curious Conversation w/Jennifer Zientz · Neuroplasticity · TheSquare

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.

TheSquare Ep #55 · Neurodiversity

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.

TheSquare Ep #53 · Data Centers, Blockchain, and Sustainability

Find out how blockchain mining is driving demand for immersive cooling – a revolutionary new technology emerging as a game-changer for data center architecture. Tune in as Tom Kruger, Senior Associate for the Data Center Studio in LA, discusses how cryptocurrency is a catalyst for change, ushering in a greener era with immersive cooling allowing for a 90% reduction in energy costs for data centers. The technology works by submerging circuit boards in a special dry-to-the-touch liquid that won’t damage circuitry. As blockchain mining increases exponentially, the cooling fluid and accessory prices are expected to drop, bringing about commonplace usage. See what immersive cooling means for the future of critical infrastructure as immersive cooling takes a foothold industry-wide.

TheSquare Ep #51 · Healthcare Design and Burnout

Magnified by the pandemic crisis, exhaustion and burnout among healthcare providers signaled the long-awaited need for positive change. With up to 50% of healthcare providers considering leaving the profession due to working conditions, designing efficient and functional healthcare facilities is crucial to the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of staff, as well as patients. Gerard Gulpeo and Nikki Cirrincione of the Healthcare Studio in LA discuss designing spaces to improve the future of the healthcare workplace. As a former trauma nurse, Nikki explains how stress, long work hours without breaks, and inefficiencies in healthcare facility design take a toll on healthcare providers. Nurses’ voices must be heard in creating spaces that provide safety, reduce stress, and support staff with better amenities, collaborative workspaces, technology, wellness rooms, and outdoor spaces for recharging in nature.
