Non Finito Pod

Development of positive culture in schools of architecture has been a focus of the American Institute of Architecture Students (AIAS) since the late 1990’s, and this concept has developed over the past two decades into Learning and Teaching Culture Policies. In this episode, we talked about studio culture as a whole and answered the following questions:  What were our expectations going into architecture school? What did we each go through at UTA? How do you think your background or upbringing played into that? How do you feel now? Would you change something?

When you travel, there are many ways to see things. But sketching is one of the best ways to experience things. In this episode, we talk about how our personal travels have been impacted by the times we sketched versus snapped a photo and moved on. We also briefly discuss how you don't need to travel to Italy to learn how to sketch what you experience. During COVID, take a safe walk and begin to sketch your neighborhood. Who knows what you'll see!

Sketching is something we are taught in school to different degrees but does it help in the profession? We brought in our good friend Brannon to help us talk about sketching! Also we talked about what our favorite drawing utensils are.

Architecture is a broad field. There are so many similar yet different things you can do with an architecture degree. Some of them are full time gigs but some can be considered side hustles. In this episode we talk about our own side hustles and how they've influenced us.

In this episode we attempt to explain non finito. Luckily we did some research before recording. This drawing is by our very own Adam Fogel. Be sure to visit our website nonfinitopod.com for show notes. 

It's our introductory episode! Learn about who we are, and why we're doing this. And then we talk about Space - a core architectural element. This drawing is by our very own Prarthan Shah. Be sure to visit our website, www.nonfinitopod.com, to read our show notes.

Introducing Non Finito: An Architecture Podcast. Just a group of friends from our undergraduate college years coming back together to talk about architecture, our paths through the profession, and how architecture has influenced who we are and how we see the world.
