The Foundry exemplifies a thoughtful approach to adaptive reuse, where the legacy of a 132-year-old industrial structure is carried forward through a renewed civic purpose. Once home to the Blake and Knowles Steam Pump Company and later a succession of utilitarian uses, the building has been transformed into a dynamic hub for arts, education, and entrepreneurship. The design resists the urge to overwrite history, instead preserving nearly 70 percent of the original fabric and allowing the building’s industrial identity to remain present and legible.

In this episode, Cherise is joined by Ryan Jang, AIA, Principal, and Cecily Ng, Associate at Leddy Maytum Stacy Architects in San Francisco, California. They discuss the UC Berkeley Creekside Center Renovation for the Disabled Students Program at the University of California, Berkeley, or UC Berkeley.
You can see the project here as you listen along.
Set within the core of the University of California, Berkeley, the Creekside Center renovation reimagines a modest, well-loved building as a forward-looking home for the Disabled Students’ Program. What was once a fragmented network of dispersed offices is now consolidated into a cohesive, welcoming environment—one that reflects both the scale of the program, serving more than 4,000 students, and the evolving understanding of accessibility as a fundamental design driver rather than a regulatory obligation.

In this episode, Cherise is joined by Kent Suhrbier, FAIA, LEED AP, Principal at Bohlin Cywinski Jackson with offices in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, San Francisco, Seattle, and Wilkes-Barre.

You can see the project here as you listen along.
The Highmark Center for Health, Wellness, and Athletics at Carnegie Mellon University brings together many aspects of student life into one place, supporting physical health, mental well-being, and personal growth. Light-toned brick and a terracotta rainscreen create a modern interpretation of traditional forms, with subtle patterning in the façade that references the rhythm of a heartbeat, reinforcing the building’s connection to health and human experience.

In this episode, Cherise is joined by Matt Wallace, Partner, and John Taylor (or JT) Schaffhauser, Associate at Lake Flato Architects with offices in San Antonio and Austin, Texas, and Portland, Oregon. They discuss the Ryerson Woods Education Center in Deerfield, Illinois.
You can see the project here as you listen along.
Situated at the threshold between woodland and water along the Des Plaines River, the Ryerson Woods Education Center emerges as both refuge and instrument—an architecture that listens as much as it teaches. Positioned within the delicate ecology of the flatwoods, the building does not assert itself over the landscape, but instead operates as a quiet mediator, framing the rhythms of the forest while inviting visitors into a deeper understanding of its systems. Part of this system that integrates respect for nature is the exterior’s triple-pane bird-friendly glass, the first of its kind to be certified Phius in the U.S.

In this episode, Cherise is joined by Paul Cooper, AIA, LEED AP, DBIA, Principal, and Amy Stock, NCIDQ, LEED GA, Associate – both at TEF Design in San Francisco, California. They discuss the Bay Area Headquarters Authority (or BAHA) Work Adaptation, also in San Francisco.
You can see the project here as you listen along.
Following the initial workplace build-out of the Bay Area Metro Center, the BAHA Hybrid Office represents a continued investment in adaptability—an evolution shaped by changing work patterns rather than a fixed end state. Through workshops and stakeholder engagement, TEF gathered insight into daily workflows, uncovering opportunities to better align the environment with how people actually use it. This collaborative process informed the development of a “Kit of Parts”—a flexible system of spatial strategies that could be deployed, rearranged, or expanded over time.
