    RR 018: Design Process and Physical Modeling with Napoleon Meraña

    Building 3D, physical models are not a new concept or way of designing, but with most design work now being done completely digitally, it can be easy to overlook or skip out on.    Senior Designer Napoleon Meraña has over 25 years of experience designing around the U.S. and Europe, and physical modeling has remained a core component of his design process, even as he began his designs on computers instead of hand-drawn sketches. He has brought a unique perspective on how to approach designing that has not been common at RDC for the last few years.    Let's stay in touch:  Follow us on Facebook and Instagram @retaildesignc Head on over to our website http://rdcollaborative.com

    RR 017: The Relation Between Interior Design and Architecture with Katy Wise and Itzel Meynard

    When people hear of "interior design," what comes to mind is HGTV and primarily women wanting to decorate their homes. Senior Designer Katy Wise and Senior Design Manager Itzel Meynard can tell you that interior design is so much more than picking out furniture and swatches.    On this week's episode, we talk about how Interior Design complements and should be considered just as important as exterior Architecture, and how the merging of the two has created "Interior Architecture." There are some misconceptions about Interior Design that we debunk, as well as some talk about what it is like as a woman in the Architecture industry as a whole.    Let's stay in touch:  Follow us on Facebook and Instagram @retaildesignc Head on over to our website http://rdcollaborative.com

    RR 016: The Connection Between Physical and Digital Design with William Ellsworth and Brian Newman

    This week's episode becomes theoretical as we discuss how designing for the digital world is interconnected with how we design for the physical world, and vice versa. We sit down with Senior Graphic Designer Brian Newman and Designer William Ellsworth to explore how these two worlds are merging but also how they will always remain distinct, despite rapidly changing technology.     Let's stay in touch:  Follow us on Facebook and Instagram @retaildesignc Head on over to our website http://rdcollaborative.com

    RR 014: Designing for the Self Care Generation with Alex Kuby

    Millennials have spurred a wave of self-care, and it is seeping into how we design spaces for them to take care of themselves, namely the hospitality industry.      This week, we sit down with Senior Interior Design Manager Alex Kuby to discuss how the prioritization of self-care with indulgence and luxury has pervaded how we design hospitality spaces. Even the rise of social media has affected the kinds of experiences and materials we choose and include in our designs.    Let's stay in touch:  Follow us on Facebook and Instagram @retaildesignc Head on over to our website http://rdcollaborative.com

    Grocery in the Age of Amazon with Branko Prebanda

    With the rise of Amazon as the world's most popular e-commerce site and its purchase of Whole Foods, brands everywhere are scrambling to keep up, grocers in particular.  We sit down with Senior Principal Branko Prebanda and discuss how retailers are innovating to keep customers in their stores. From Walmart to Kroger to Aldi, it has become vital for brands to step up and change their business models before they are left in the dust.  Let's stay in touch:  Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter @retaildesignc Head on over to our website http://rdcollaborative.com

  8. The Design Process with Niccolo Boldrin and Sean Davis

    05/08/2018

    The Design Process with Niccolo Boldrin and Sean Davis

    When people think of the design process in regards to architecture, there is a scenario that comes to mind. There is the initial meeting, the architects and designers draw up a design for the client, and there you go. However, the design process is actually much more complex than that and actually is much more similar to any kind of design process in a number of different fields.  We listen in on a conversation between designers Niccolo Boldrin and Sean Davis as they talk about how they work through their design processes and how related it is outside of the architecture world. They also touch on specific misconceptions between design school and practicing in the real world, as well as why the "starchitect" is no longer plausible or realistic in today's world of architecture and design.  Let's stay in touch:  Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter @retaildesignc Head on over to our website http://rdcollaborative.com
