TheSquare Ep #38 · Branding: Behind the Screen · w/ Micaela Fangue & David Rose of Corgan’s Branded Environments

Friday Jan 14, 2022

While the primary function of most places— from schools, offices, and retail spaces to hospitals and theme parks— are fairly different, they all share the desire to promote a sense of belonging and loyalty in support of a common goal. Virtual and hybrid platforms are reshaping how we experience everything from retail and entertainment, learning and collaborating and how we work. Employers are now faced with the challenge and opportunity to recreate those everyday interactions that deepen our connection to the brand, mission, people— and ultimately build belonging in a hybrid world.

Enter: Branded Environments. Leveraging physical spaces to tell a story, branded environments use the language of brand and design to tell the unique story of each space and organization. On this week’s episode of TheSquare Podcast, we are joined by David Rose and Micaela Fangue, who are both on the Branded Environments team at Corgan, to discuss the possibilities of storytelling in the built environment, experiential design, and how branded environments can help employees form a sense of belonging, engagement, and loyalty.

TheSquare Ep #37 · Technology of the West Gates at Tom Bradley LAX Airport

Tuesday Dec 28, 2021

The Midfield Satellite Concourse (MSC) is a multi-billion-dollar modernization program at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), considered the largest public works program in the history of the City of Los Angeles. In this episode of TheSquare Podcast, we sit down with David Kim, Senior Architect at LAWA, and David Huor, Aviation Architect at Corgan, to speak on the unique design process for the West Gates at LAX MSC and the innovative technology that played a significant role in it.

From the Automated People Mover train, food delivery robots, and universal Wi-Fi to systems that track your bag from check-in to the plane— the West Gates at LAX MSC incorporated state-of-the-art technology to provide a world-class travel experience, faster connections, and improve operational efficiency and passenger accessibility. Kim and Huor discuss not only the technologies implemented in the design but also how emerging technologies, such as augmented and virtual reality, played a prominent role in the design and construction process.

A Curious Conversation w/ Artist JM Rizzi · Making a Career Out of Your Art · TheSquare

Tuesday Dec 28, 2021

On this week’s episode of TheSquare Podcast, we have a curious conversation with Brooklyn-born, Staten Island raised, and now Dallas-based artist, JM Rizzi, who specializes in large-scale murals, public sculpture installations, and mixed media canvases. As a gestural expressionist, Rizzi’s ever-growing conceptual practice explores the multitudinous angles to abstraction.

Rizzi’s greatest focus lies in synthesizing all that he observes and all that inspires him. His hands passively conduct ideas, histories, subcultures, and emotions. Regardless of scale, his work possesses an undeniable ability for placemaking. Bold, playful, and incredibly colorful, Rizzi likens his work’s hues to musical notes—bright hues are horn pops, muted tones form bass lines. Tune in to hear Rizzi discuss his process and greatest milestones—from comic books and graffiti to murals at Rockefeller Center and in Sweden and China. Let’s get curious!

Tuesday Dec 28, 2021

This week on TheSquare Podcast, we introduce you to Lindsay Wilson, President and Interiors Sector Leader at Corgan, focusing on corporate interior design, the firm’s culture, and brand development. During her 20+ year career in workplace design and strategy, Lindsay has worked with countless clients to understand how their workplace can reflect their culture, challenge conventional thinking, and transform their business. Her reputation for understanding business and project drivers, creative problem solving and identifying the “hot buttons” make her a go-to resource for her team, clients, and the broader real estate community. Her collaborative leadership style and vision have been not only instrumental in the growth of the firm’s interiors practice but also corporate architecture.

Lindsay was a lead member of the Corgan teams behind some of the most significant workplace transformations, such as Southwest Airlines Headquarters Remodel, Fossil Group Global Headquarters, State Farm at CityLine, Toyota’s North American Headquarters, and most recently, VARISPACE and the new KDP Headquarters at The Star in Frisco. Tune in to learn more about how she used her love for arts and creativity and turned it into a career, being a Corgan “Boomerang,” and where she sees the next 5 to 10 years heading for architecture and design.

TheSquare Ep #35 · Universal TheSquare Ep #35 · Universal Design and Accessibility w/ Joe LaRocca, Associate Principal

Tuesday Dec 28, 2021

Using Corgan’s our work with Professional Contract Services Inc. (PCSI) as a case study, our guest this week on TheSquare Podcast, Joseph LaRocca, Associate Principal at Corgan’s Austin office, will share what's to come for the future of accessibility. The project, both in client mission and design, showcases inclusivity and an empathetic approach to serve the several and unique needs of people with various abilities. PCSI is a nonprofit with a mission to help veterans and those with disabilities secure meaningful jobs—bringing front and center features that expand accessibility such as a central ramp that anchors the design for the facility. Rather than approaching accessibility as a checklist, the project probes the possibilities of design to create an experience that is accessible and usable by everyone. Tune in as we explore what it means be more inclusive and create responsible spaces that expand our notion of sustainable design beyond green features and LEED certification and instead consider spaces that are not only accessible but also celebrate the various abilities and contributions of everyone.

TheSquare Ep #34 · Walnut Springs Elementary · w/ Melinda Gardner & Erin Ortwein

Tuesday Dec 28, 2021

The past 18 months have been especially challenging for teachers. While classroom design traditionally prioritizes developing and supporting students, Corgan is focusing on how design can better meet the needs of educators. As teachers adapt to changing teaching and learning modalities, navigate tight budgets, balance their own sense of safety, and more— how can design serve as a tool to drive the profession’s engagement, retention, recruitment, satisfaction, and ultimately student outcomes?

Tune in to this week’s episode of TheSquare Podcast, where we are on location at Walnut Springs Elementary School speaking with Melinda Gardner, Principal of Walnut Springs Elementary, and Erin Ortwein, Education Associate Architect at Corgan. Using Corgan research and a case study from Walnut Springs Elementary, we discuss the common workplace challenges for teachers and provide practical interventions that can better support their work and empathetically respond to their whole person.

A Curious Conversation w/ Eric Schick & Chris Griffin · How Healthy Systems Grow · TheSquare

Tuesday Dec 28, 2021

Let’s talk about relationships. Cory Dear, Design Director at Corgan, Chris Griffin, President and Co-Founder of Hover Energy, Eric Schick, CEO of CEED, join us for a Curious Conversation on TheSquare to explore how things work together—to make things better, more efficient, more seamless, and even more human. We’re probing the possibilities of design, technology, and infrastructure—from the first magnetically-powered, magnetically-levitated wind turbines to vertical agricultural production—to challenge the several relationships in building systems work together to create a healthier, more sustainable, and profoundly more human future. Innovators like Schick at CEED are asking, “can a building act like a human body? Can it be a contributor? What if could protect itself and the people that move through it?” Let’s get curious about how design can move beyond limiting, singular conversations about solar panels or net zero and into something that is globally integrated—considering the ecosystem of healthy design to create a meaningful difference and a better way to power our buildings, the people that move through them, and our world.

TheSquare Ep 33 · Serving the Underserved · w/ Architect Tina McKone

Tuesday Dec 28, 2021

The identity of neighborhoods and cities can often be traced to the indelible mark of the built environment. From commercial districts that are primarily marked by large warehouses or railroads to suburban counterparts with wide streets appointed with shopping centers and parks, the infrastructure, building typology, and design have the power to shape the trajectory and development, or in some cases, the disinvestment of a neighborhood. Just as popular eateries can rebrand historic neighborhoods or the addition of a new park can invite new residents and housing, the responsible stewardship of places has the potential to transform communities, build stronger neighborhoods, and serve as a catalyst for economic growth and development.

Sustainable and resilient design, however, requires design that considers the context of its neighborhood—the challenges, history, pain points, hopes, and aspirations of the people that occupy it. On this week’s episode of TheSquare Podcast, Tina McKone, Project Architect in Corgan’s Education Sector, shares how the power of the built environment shapes community, how resilient design depends on the community-based design, the challenges and opportunities to elevate the collaborative process, and explores the benefits through a case study Corgan participated in called Complete Communities.
