Sometimes an opportunity unfolds itself and you need to take it. In this case, in the form of a chat with a former student. I took notes but I hope that in the future I could do a podcast with the ex-student for now, I concentrated on a couple of points: 1. Feedback that tutors give during the design process and, 2. Learning from doing academic programs (studio projects) and working outside (competition or office) at the same time. ©️Talk Architecture 2023, Author: Naziaty Mohd Yaacob.  Photo credit ©️ Design Thesis Crit on the UM Campus Master Plan, Special Semester, 2020-21Support the showDo subscribe for premium content and special features which will help to support and sustain Talk Architecture podcast on a more in-depth explanation on design thesis and processes.
