Pedro Medeiros - Modelmaking, Climbing, Macau

from Chinese Takeaway · host Minion Dee

Pedro Medeiros traded his architecture degree for something far more hands-on — building intricate physical models for some of the world's biggest exhibitions. In this episode, he takes us inside a workshop producing 500 models a year, shares the chaos of impossible deadlines and last-minute client changes, and reflects on landmark projects including the F+P exhibition at the Pompidou Centre. He also draws a brilliant parallel between model making and his love of rock climbing — both are really just elaborate puzzles. Plus, a fascinating peek into life in Macau, one of the world's most densely packed cities.
