Starting off Season 3’s Archemist Podcast Is This What You Wanted? I have invited my former tutor Yvonne (Director, Co-founder, Circle Studio Architects) as our very first guest. In this conversation, we navigate through the discourse of the journey prior to architecture education, pinnacle moments that led to the establishment of Circle Studio Architects and of course, the unforgettable Parlour article.
Notes:
Parlour - Cultural diversity in architecture (2016)
Music: Blue Dot Sessions - ‘Pinky’ from Free Music Archive https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Blue_Dot_Sessions/RadioPink/Pinky
