Detailed: An original podcast by ARCAT

In this episode, Cherise is joined by Danielle Cerone, Director at MARVEL with offices in New York, San Juan, Richmond, and Barcelona. They discuss the Doris Duke Theatre at Jacob’s Pillow in Becket, Massachusetts.

You can see the project here as you listen along.

The new Doris Duke Theatre at Jacob’s Pillow reimagines a beloved performance space lost to fire in 2020, preserving the intimacy of the original while introducing a flexible, technologically advanced venue for dance, collaboration, and education. Mass timber plays a central role in shaping the building’s identity. Exposed cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels and glulam beams establish a natural, inviting interior that recalls the original theatre’s traditional timber construction.

The Julian H.

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.

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.

In this episode, Cherise is joined by Paul Murdoch, Founder and President of Paul Murdoch Architects in Los Angeles, California. They discuss the Flight 93 National Memorial in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. This episode is particularly meaningful as this year marks the 25th anniversary of 9/11.

You can see the project here as you listen along.

The Flight 93 National Memorial transforms a former reclaimed strip mine in Somerset County, Pennsylvania, into a 2,200-acre landscape of remembrance, reflection, and environmental healing. Rather than imposing a singular monument on the site, the design unfolds as a carefully choreographed memorial landscape, including the 93-foot-tall Tower of Voices, which holds 40 wind chimes representing the 40 individuals aboard Flight 93. As wind passes through the tower, aluminum chimes of varying lengths respond with different tones, creating an ever-changing acoustic presence.
