084: [Contextual Architecture] - Crafting Spaces That Work with Baerbel Mueller
Context is everything in design. The context of a place will look into the relationship between an environment and the buildings situated within it. A location's historical, cultural, physical and economic landscapes is the context in which when applied well, allows design for human use to thrive. In this episode, Baerbel Mueller walks us through how she works, through research and studying the context of a place which she and her team members and collaborators use to craft spaces that work for the people who would use them. Baerbel then provides valuable insights into the intersection of research and design and how they are not so much as separate elements when the users of spaces need their needs met.NotesTo learn more about Baerbel, visit her; Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nav_s_baerbelmueller/[Applied] Foreign Affairs: https://appliedforeignaffairs.uni-ak.ac.at/Nav_S Baerbel Mueller: http://www.nav-s.net/🔗 Connect with Ziwu: YouTube: https://youtube.com/@studioziwu?si=ezm3zmtRZEbDDyQ- Instagram: The Ziwu | Architect (@studioziwu) • Instagram photos and videos🔔 Subscribe to Architectural Revolution on all Platforms: https://plinkhq.com/i/1615824613?to=pageDon't forget to like, comment, leave a review and subscribe for more relevant conversations like this!

054: Do Architects Need to be Builders? with Papa Kofi Dako
Is the architecture industry dying? Would money be the cause of it, and is it pushing architects to explore other alternatives of surviving in the AEC (Architecture, Engineering and Construction) industry just to stay afloat? There's a surge of architects moving parallel in the industry and providing construction services to clients so they can corner another piece of the market and survive. Does it make for good business and design? Or does it reduce one's expertise in an industry? In this episode, Ziwu has a conversation with Papa Kofi Dako on this new movement, if it brings in disaster or relief to Architecture clients and their projects. Papa Kofi takes you through whether it is necessary for professional architects to take this direction in the 21st century and the thinking behind it.

049: Creating a Realistic Budget for your Building Project
There is no point in engaging an architect when you have no idea of what you are willing and capable of spending for your project. The creation of your construction budget helps you know how much you are able to spend on your building project and if it is possible to fund those dreams. Without a budget to speak of, there is no clear direction on where the cost of the building project might end up. Everyone needs a budget before they can start to have their project designed, including you. Ziwu takes you through 3 methods of creating an approximate budget that is realistic depending on what you want.
