Podcast: Human Factors in Workplace Design
We have all learned how to work in new ways during the pandemic. By now, each individual has had time to consider what they miss about the old way of working, and what they have embraced about these socially distant times. The reactions are as varied as the types of people who share the workplace.
Cut the Static: Creating Dynamic Experiences through Architecture and AV
Historically, buildings have been pretty set in stone. Architectural flexibility was the exception not the norm. Today, however, we live in a remarkable moment—a time when our spaces can shift with the flick of a hand across a keyboard. We can write an algorithm that turns a doorstep into a portal and build a canvas that paints (and even serenades) itself.

Podcast: How Museums Are Creating a New Narrative
One of the reasons we will return to public spaces is the search for a fuller sense of engagement. Remote life has us confined to separate and disembodied existences, communicating with each other primarily through the limited rectangles of video screens, in public spaces even the currents of air in outdoor spaces might provide new narrative information.
Podcast: Can we use technology to make events more human?
The events and experiential marketing industries have arrived at a new phase in this dramatic and painful pause on in-person gatherings. We are learning a lot, and as we settle in for the long-haul with remote life and a gradual return to in-person events, we have an opportunity to completely reimagine the way we connect.
The Task Is To Keep Everyone Safe, But Still Design It So That It’s Beautiful

Entertainment Events from a Social Distance Combine Live, Install, and Remote Expertise
The “hybrid” scenario is very much in swing, and new discoveries are happening through the calibration and recalibration of blended remote and in-venue entertainment experiences.
