Unstruct Kari Sebern // Gābl Media

In this episode, we talk with Roger Krulak, Founder and Principal at FullStack Modular and David Farnsworth, PE, Principal at Arup.  We talk about the best project delivery system and about options available for modular construction.  
Roger and David have worked on numerous modular construction projects, creating structures that exceed 20 stories tall, truly building onsite Lego-like structures.  
We dig into scope of work delineation, floorplan flexibility and how modular constructed high rise structures are able to resist site loading such as high seismic forces. 
By being involved from project inception, both parties- the manufacturer and structural engineer – are able to convey their respective requirements and continuously elevate the limits of modular construction in a truly impressive way.

In this episode, Julian Lineham, PE, Founding Principal at Studio NYL, talks about the Bonnett Springs Park project.  This site was previously inaccessible due to an abandoned rail line.  So by removing the abandoned line, many acres of land were suddenly opened up and accessible.  This project includes the design and construction of several buildings throughout the site but our talk focuses on four main buildings: the Event Center, Welcome Center, Children’s Museum and Nature Center.   Materials included mass timber and CLT (cross laminated timber) and concrete and steel.  
Listen in to hear how soil challenges were addressed and to also hear how sustainability aspects were worked into the design of these structures.

In this episode, Cherise Lakeside, FCSI, Senior Specification Writer for RDH Building Science Inc. talks about the importance of good specification writing for structural engineers and architects.  Cherise is based out of Portland, Oregon and, in addition to her duties at RDH, teaches the SCI CDT certification program and hosts the ARCAT podcast “DETAILED”, produced by Gabl Media.  “DETAILED” shares project stories of challenges and triumph and is wildly successful with over 300,000 downloads in the 18 months since its inception.  
Cherise gives specification advice to architects and structural engineers including making sure items are only listed once in the specifications and making sure that things are located in their appropriate sections.  Also, we talked about the purpose of structural general notes and how they pair with project specifications.

In the second portion of this special two part series, we talk about the necessity of sustainability extending beyond the design phase.  Dena and Indigo River also have a vested interest in offshore wind generation and training programs for implementation.   We also get into Dena’s dream for the future of the profession.
Waterfront Architecture is Dena Prastos, AIA niche design market.  With degrees in civil engineering, in architecture and from Harvard Business School, Dena brings a diverse background as the Founder and CEO of Indigo River.  Waterfront architect, civil engineer, futurist, climate adaptation expert, entrepreneur, and creative original, Dena is driven to transform the built world at the water’s edge.
Indigo River brings a transdisciplinary approach to waterfront architecture, resiliency and climate adaptation and is a leading authority in New York Harbor and beyond.  In this episode we talk specficaly about the Wildflower Studio which is located at the water’s edge in the New York City area and is a state of the art vertical production studio backed by Robert De Niro.  We also discuss sustainable and resilient design and differentiate between the two.  
Dena has crafted a unique business and career based on her personal passions.  Born and raised in Anchorage, AK, Dena spent many months a year off the grid and in touch with nature while growing up.  It is evident that this connection with nature has carried through in her waterfront designs in New York City.
