Tanya Tsui; Finding meaning in architecture and sustainability research

Stephanie Peh; Creativity, writing and stories of the self-made

Stephanie Peh [https://stephpeh.com/] is a Singaporean writer and producer working independently in the arts & culture space. Her most recent self-published book 'Self-made: Creative Lives in Southeast Asia" is poignant and beautiful, earning a well deserved spot on Monocle Radio [https://monocle.com/radio/shows/monocle-on-design/482/self-made-creative-lives-in-southeast-asia/]. We talked about her journey leading up to this moment, how she learned to become a better listener and the care she places on her readers' time. --- On That Note is powered by ⁠Gubns⁠ [https://gubns.co/].

Estudio ESSE; Design and make, class and money, and failure as currency

Estudio ESSE [https://www.instagram.com/estudio_esse/] is Europe-based architecture, design and research studio ran by Ecaterina Stefanescu and Sam Eadington. Operating across multiple cities and towns, the studio is concerned with how ideas engage with the world. We had such a fantastic conversation talking about the importance of ‘making’ in creative work, how class and money affects design, and how failure can be used as currency in academia. Tune in to understand their views on the responsibilities we have as designers, and how their project in Spain led to multiple encounters with the police! --- On That Note is powered by ⁠Gubns⁠ [https://gubns.co/].

No-To-Scale*; The NTS attitude, not fitting in, and embracing being the supporting act

Sam and Nadhrah, the duo behind No-To-Scale* join us for our third episode of Season 2. The conversation stretched over four different time zones but the hour we chatted felt like it passed by in a minute. No-To-Scale* is an art and spatial agency, operating at the intersection of architecture, design, art, culture, politics and technology. We had so much fun talking to them about their journey, how they define their work with intention, and the unexpected joy of creating space for others to shine following their recent show, The Night Journey, which they did in collaboration with SuperCodex and Gangsapura. We also heard about their ambition to break onto the global stage as a practice that operates across multiple disciplines. --- On That Note is powered by Gubns [https://gubns.co/].

Annie Lye; Architecture adjacent creativity, photography, migration and magpies

Annie Lye joins us for our second episode of Season 2. Annie is a multipotentialite creative from Hong Kong, now based in London, and works across photography, design and market research. We talk about how Annie was “born into architecture” but was told “don’t practice architecture” by her mother, an architect herself! Annie took that advice and explored how creativity can be an act of addition, and how she has developed a curious magpie-like behaviour. --- On That Note is powered by Gubns [https://gubns.co/].

Tanya Tsui; Finding meaning in architecture and sustainability research

For our Season 2 debut episode, we are joined by Tanya Tsui. a PhD researcher at TU Delft working with spatial analytics in circular economy. We talk about how her architectural education brings value to what she does today. We also talk about what doors coding has unlocked for her, her brief encounter with the not-for profit world and how to spot an architect from a mile away.  --- On That Note is powered by Gubns [https://gubns.co/].
