“It’s important to research the building, it’s important to learn about the architecture and participate the discussion around it… but definitely important to visit yourself and form your own ideas (about the architecture) as well…”
- E. Zhang, 2020
At some point in our architecture studies, many of us have dreamt of going overseas and experiencing a cultural shift in work and lifestyle. Yet, what is it that makes this experience desirable? In this conversation, Eastina and I discuss our thoughts on our recent adventures from working internationally.
