Detailed: An original podcast by ARCAT

In this episode, Cherise is joined by Donesh Ferdowsi, Project Designer at Snohetta's New York Offices. Snohetta has offices in Oslo, Paris, Innsbruck, Africa, New York, China, Korea, and Melbourne. They discuss the Sentry Bridge project in Watkins Glen State Park at Watkins Glen, New York.
You can see the project here as you listen along.
For nearly two centuries, Watkins Glen State Park has used bridges, paths, and overlooks to guide visitors through its dramatic gorge. The experience is defined by the close relationship between people and the landscape—moving alongside waterfalls, through narrow passages, and beneath towering rock walls. Custom bronze castings depicting local flora and fauna—including an endangered dragonfly and rare plant—along with a model of the historic bridge, give visitors tactile reminders of the gorge's natural and cultural history.

Handmade clay bricks form a distinctive nine-bay structure, giving the building a strong yet understated presence and further responding to sustainability and local resources.

In this episode, Cherise is joined by Paul Clayton, AIA, LEED AP, and Principal at Clayton Korte in Austin, Texas, and Travis Greig, AIA, Project Manager, also with Clayton Korte. They discuss the Albert Hotel in Fredericksburg, Texas.
Located in historic downtown Fredericksburg, the Albert Hotel draws on more than 175 years of Keidel family history in the Hill Country, bringing a contemporary hospitality experience to a site deeply connected to the town’s past. The new architecture takes cues from the surrounding natural environment. Custom raked stucco creates a textured exterior that responds to changing sunlight throughout the day and mimics limestone cliffs found around swimming holes in the hill country.

In this episode, Cherise is joined by Dryden Razook, Principal at S9 Architecture in New York City. They discuss the Neuhoff District in Nashville, Tennessee.
You can see the project here as you listen along.
For decades, the abandoned Neuhoff slaughterhouse stood as a barrier between Nashville’s Germantown neighborhood and the Cumberland River, leaving a significant gap in the city’s urban fabric. S9 Architecture approached the site not as something to erase, but as an opportunity to build upon its industrial history and create a new neighborhood rooted in its context. The 914,000-square-foot Neuhoff District transforms the former meatpacking complex into a mixed-use neighborhood through a layered approach to adaptive reuse with a design that retains and restores significant industrial structures, introducing new buildings, landscape, and public spaces between them.
