Archemist Podcast Archemist in the Making

To begin my can of worms kind of season, I’ve invited my colleague Damien to explore his journey of becoming a tutor in Building Design. In comparison to our Architecture course - there are more complexities and requirements. So, what are these requirements? And what gave him the confidence to teach? Join us as we unpack the requirements of a tutor - and of course, the question of what it means to have the ‘right’ to teach.

Dini joins me to host the premise of this slightly jarring question that will anchor the varied conversations of the season! Having recapped her journey as an architecture student over the past couple of years, we discuss our experiences with our tutors and my personal experience as a tutor, There are many factors that impacts a student’s learning experience. We hope this asks more questions - because, that is what this podcast is about! Happy listening!

To start this segment off, we dive into one of the most loaded terms of all time - ‘stupid questions’. What the heck is a stupid question anyway and have we asked them before? Join me and Steve as we ponder on our experiences with ‘stupid questions’ - and what our feelings towards that term are!
Thanks Steve for bringing this question up - had a lot of fun recording this reflection together!

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.

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!
