## Resource

In this episode, Cherise is joined by Sam Miller, Partner, and Stephen DeMayo, Principal at LMN Architects in Seattle, Washington. They discuss the Stanford Computing and Data Science Building at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California. You can see the project here as you listen along. At the heart of Stanford University, where historic arcades meet the evolving ambitions of a research-driven campus, the Computing and Data Science (or CoDa) building emerges as both a physical landmark and an intellectual crossroads. The Hive stair, rendered in Stanford’s signature red, is more than circulation—it is a symbol. Its perforated guardrails subtly encode 8-bit binary patterns, transforming a foundational language of computing into a tactile architectural expression. As users move through the space, the stair animates the building, embodying the dynamic, interconnected nature of data science itself. If you enjoy this episode, visit arcat.com/podcast for more.
