Archemist in the Making

Inspired by Brandon Stanton’s Humans of New York Caption on communities being 'victims of the architect' (October, 2014), ‘The Archemist Podcast’ aims to open conversations with those who are interested in architecture whether they are involved in the industry or not. Acting as an extension to the blog 'Archemist in the Making' (by Kimberley K. Hui) this is an audio journal of discussions with my friends. Here, we examine ongoing affairs that are may have some relationship with architecture.

    Do I Have The Right To Teach? // What We Can Learn From The Public

    Acting as an extension to our previous conversation on Hearing Architecture - I’ve invited Jocelyn Chiew to share with me about her experience in design education, and how these lessons have shaped her design with the people at City of Melbourne. At the end of the day, architecture is for the people - and those who will be using it deserve a voice in shaping the way we design it too. *Note: this was recorded in October 2024 Notes:Hearing Architecture Podcast: “Jocelyn Chiew - Intersectionality in architecture” (3 Oct, 2023) - Conversation here.

    Do I Have The Right To Teach? // Knowledge Sharing as Content (with Alvin Zhu & Sana Tabassum)

    Hero Phenomena Ep. 8 // Painted A Landscape That Led To Architecture

    In this second part of the two part series - I now interview my colleague Steve on his experience in the detours taken to get into architecture. Evidently - when the first plan doesn’t work, there will always be alternatives waiting for you around the corner. Who knows! Sometimes they bring you surprises that you least expect it or even some of the greatest lessons to be carried forth! Come sit with us as we flip through the emotions and expectations faced when discussing switching courses.! *This will be a two-part series featuring two different guests - Elliott, who has transitioned out of architecture school into building design and Steve - who transitioned into architecture from fine arts and landscape design (I need to confirm this). These moves are never easy, but they are important conversations that we don’t often discuss or applaud. —- Archemist Podcast is an extension of my blog “Archemist in the Making” - a millennial’s inquisition on architecture’s relationship with anything and everything.

    Hero Phenomena Ep. 7 // From Plan A(rchitecture) to B(uilding Design)

    Media often talks and celebrates those who have transitioned into architecture, but rarely transitioned out of architecture. I suppose it's quite a daunting move - and one that we don't talk about often. Thankfully, Elliott is here to share his thoughts on his experience of his transition from Architecture to Building Design. What was it like? Were there any pressures? Come and sit with us as we laugh through some ups and downs and debate on which one is better for those who are torn between the two! *This will be a two-part series featuring two different guests - Elliott, who has transitioned out of architecture school into building design and Steve - who transitioned into architecture from fine arts and landscape design (I need to confirm this).
