Dwayne Oyler and Jenny Wu of Oyler Wu Collaborative join Mixed Signals to unpack a design approach that refuses to sit in one camp. From line-based experiments to volumetric assemblies, their work navigates between digital and physical, drawing and making, theory and play. Rather than choosing a singular architectural identity, they argue for operating across multiple “camps”—a position that reframes how contemporary practice can evolve.

The conversation expands through teaching, media, and practice: "Cold Crits" of student work reveal shifting attitudes toward legibility, tectonics, and one-to-one fabrication; reflections on sketching challenge the dominance of digital tools; and discussions on social media, books, and “side hustles” expose how architects communicate ideas across fast and slow platforms. At its core, the episode asks: how do you build a practice—and a point of view—amid information overload, shifting audiences, and an increasingly hybrid design culture?
