Teaching this morning. It’s a studio where we design a parasite In a laneway. The site analysis is due in a couple of days #ArchitectureSchool

Architects: How important is it to know structure in your design practice?

They've ripped the guts out of our architecture degree, it's now more important to choose materials based on narrative and aesthetics than performance. I'm sad that the next generation of architects knows more about photoshop than loads.

Exploring how to make sense of space. The brief, carve up a 3x3 metre cube to make a micro dwelling. One of the challenges is working out how to maximise the use of the height of the cube. We set up a 1:1 model of the cube so students could get a sense of the space. #architectureSchool #microDwelling

Prepping for the first class of the year. Sharpening my pencils by hand is an annual tradition. #architectureSchool

#Stationery: Classes start next week, getting ready for another semester. Grain notebook with #midori paper, FaberCastell clutch pencil 0.5, Parker 51 fountain pen with a dark grey ink and #TWSBI eco #fountainPen with red ink. I’m tutoring 1st year studio and 4th year research methods. #architectureSchool #PhDLife #architecture

I said I wouldn't be tutoring this year because I need to write. But because I need to eat and pay rent... I picked up two subjects this week, one first year and the other a masters subject 🤔 Classes start next week! #ArchitectureSchool #academic #PhDlife
