TheSquare Ep #55 · Neurodiversity
Thursday Nov 10, 2022
Thursday Nov 10, 2022
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 #51 · Healthcare Design and Burnout
Monday Sep 19, 2022
Monday Sep 19, 2022
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.

TheSquare Ep #47 · Chuck Armstrong Profile
Thursday Jul 07, 2022
Thursday Jul 07, 2022
In this episode of TheSquare, we sit down with Corgan’s Design Director, Chuck Armstrong, to explore how his approach to design has evolved over four decades and how his contributions have informed the firm’s most influential projects. A Corganite for 25 years, as a child Chuck was fascinated by the ever-changing Dallas skyline and knew his calling was to design buildings. “The universal issues of design transcend all sectors,” he says, "it isn’t about the object; it isn’t about its place in history; it’s about the experience it imparts—and now more than ever, the power of place and making it a memorable place is most important.” Chuck derives inspiration from getting out of fixed, rigid settings and engaging in everything from gardening and painting to visiting museums and building an extensive travel portfolio. While he still values drawing by hand on paper, he explains how computers have changed the profession immensely. Listen to this week’s episode and learn how technology, creativity, and clarity of purpose drive his design process. #architecture #lovefield #corgan 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?
