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 about 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.

About Steve Tran
Steve is a New Zealand born Graduate of Architecture based in Melbourne, holding a Diploma of Visual Arts (Victoria University), Bachelor of Landscape Architecture (RMIT) and finally a Masters of Architecture (UoM). If you can’t already tell, Steve is highly interested in exploring a diversity of disciplines with the ultimate goal of creating meaningful experiences whether that be spatial or visual.
His arts practice predominately explores portraiture through traditional oil painting techniques, capturing expressions of the human condition and giving them their own identity - highlighting the beauty in the ordinary.
As a curious mind, he is always exploring through a creative lens, whether that be teaching, modelling with clay or designing the perfect workout plan.
About Season 4// Hero Phenomena
Hero Phenomena is dedicated to the paradigm shift experienced during my architecture studies - as well as a tribute to the core essays in which this blog was primarily built on. Season 4 of Archemist Podcast will be a continuation and expansion on the thoughts and essays written throughout the past four years of written entries and my architecture studies. Be prepared for a symphony of discourses that can either reassures or confronts interlaced with tones of idealism, cynicism, optimism, and self-doubt as that’s what growing up is about - messy but wonderful all at once.
