Conceived as both an architectural gesture and a cultural offering, the 2025 Rolex Pavilion stands as an ode to sustainability, to Venice, and to the city’s enduring relationship with the art of making. Two-hundred-year-old timber beams salvaged from Venetian palazzi are reimagined as the pavilion’s walls, while locally crafted Venetian glass is formed into circular discs that compose the ceiling above. Glass extends to the ground plane as well, where terrazzo flooring incorporates recycled Murano glass shards as aggregate.

Designed by Jahn, the Pritzker Military Museum and Library in Somers, Wisconsin, is a purpose-built facility that brings together precision, functionality, and public engagement in a single, cohesive environment. A disciplined 36-foot structural grid organizes the building, utilizing an exposed, steel-glass system that creates a tight envelope, preserving the thermal stability required for long-term collection care.

In this episode, Cherise is joined by Mike McCormick, Vice President of Facilities Management and Development at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, David Hart, President and CEO of Steinberg Hart, and Roger Krulak, Founder and President of FullStack Modular. They discuss the Student Housing Program at CalPoly located in San Luis Obispo, CA.
You can see the project here as you listen along.
California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo is confronting a challenge shared by many growing institutions in California: a rapidly rising student population paired with an increasingly constrained local housing market. Nestled in a highly desirable coastal town, the university has limited ability to expand enrollment without adding thousands of new beds on campus—an imperative driven not just by institutional goals, but by the simple fact that the surrounding city cannot absorb additional demand. In response, Cal Poly has launched one of the most ambitious student housing initiatives in the state, a program that will deliver 4,200 new beds through a landmark collaboration with FullStack Modular. The effort aims to redefine how campus housing is designed and built, relying on an industrialized construction strategy that promises speed, quality, and long-term affordability.

In a city grappling with record rates of houselessness, Portland is advancing some of its most ambitious strategies yet to address its growing humanitarian crisis. Julia West House stands as a transformative example of what Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) can look like when care, culture, and innovation converge, incorporating exposed mass timber and a biophilic interior palette grounded in the ecology of the Pacific Northwest.

In this episode, Cherise is joined by Ezequiel Ruete, co-founder of OVO Patagonia and co-founder of Perspectiva Aérea. They discuss OVO Patagonia in EL Chaltén, Argentina
You can see the project here as you listen along.
In the wild heart of El Chaltén, Argentina, where the winds carve into granite and Mount Fitz Roy rises in the sky, OVO Patagonia redefines what it means to arrive. Suspended 270 meters––that’s over 800 ft––above the valley floor and integrating a geomechanical design, its translucent capsules cling to a sheer rock wall—an experience once reserved for elite climbers, now transformed into a rare encounter with Patagonia’s raw magnificence.
