How did we cope with criticism? With Amanda Luu

The word criticism carries a certain stigma that many of us are still trying to reconcile, especially when the term is often used in our profession. Having studied architecture for five years now, Amanda and I observe how our attitudes and perception towards architecture and constructive feedback has changed over the years. Not to mention, criticism comes in many forms that we may not be aware of - and how we are striving to cooperate with the term better.

Understanding The Sims with Daniela Kresnadi and Jun Yi Chong

Branching off from our written collaboration about The Sims, Jun Yi, Dani and I explore how the Sims have affected our perception of architecture. While one has studied architecture and the other being an architecture enthusiast, the three of us explore a variety of architecture concepts embedded in colour, dental clinic setups and the much talked about Instagram.

Getting philosophical with Isabella Alvarado

Sharing similar interests and celebrating the completion of our architectural studies, Bella and I reflect on our six years of studies in a philosophical light. Naturally, the conversation took us on a detour on our favourite words, literature, working in practice, toilets (yes toilets) and the dreaded topic of group work.

Redefining success with Isabella Peppard Clark

Branching off from ArchiTeam's 'Redefining Success', Isi and I continue on the discussion on the definition of success. Looking at what it means to be valued, exploring society's perception of success and the unrelenting pressures that we place on ourselves, together we open questions for ourselves and those who are determined to break through the stigma attached to 'success' and 'value'. *This conversation was recorded in November 2019, since then Isabella has moved employers
