Send us Fan MailThe first part interview with Ar. Ch'ng Sao Inn of Saoinn Architect.In this session we started with Sao Inn's architectural journey from school (University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur) right up till working life and establishing his own practice since 2016. We touched on architecture education including some insights on the first degree learning for architecture students which could be more hands on and understanding the materials. A fascinating description of how some things taught in a way quite simply at second year was picked up later in practice. Going back and forth, we touched on the importance of some learning in school that would be carried on into practice.Reference Xinjiang issue here: https://www.architecturalrecord.com/articles/15203-architect-alison-killing-wins-a-pulitzer-for-uncovering-forced-labor-camps-in-china© 2021 Talk Architecture, Author: Naziaty Mohd YaacobPhoto (art work) from Saoinn Architect of people and works at a site in Tanarimba, Pahang, Malaysia.Support 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.
