NEWSFLASH

If you - as a course coordinator or senior lecturer - deliver a certain key (guest) lecture on your most essential academic and professional content, often, over the course of a decade, and even globally, in other words: if you have an iconic lecture on the shelf, wouldn’t it be so revitalising and interesting to know how you can amplify the impact of this lecture, and continue to rejuvenate it? 

StudioBlended offers highly bespoke teacher training capacity development to senior lecturers.

We had another beautiful opportunity to collaborate on Friday April 4, when dr. Alonso Ayala - Senior expert in housing and Human Settlement Planning, gave his iconic lecture ‘The 5 A’s principles for Adequate housing’ to undergraduate students in architecture at the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment of TU/D.

Read more on our page for iconic lecture - senior teacher training. Or listen to our guest interview with dr. Alonso Ayala on our Audio Podcast page.

For our Audio Pocast covers, we have a wonderful collaboration with the Chilean Cazu Zegers Arquitectura.

The first major book showing her leading work about the poetics of the territory [geopoetic methodology] just came out, and we couldn't recommend it more:
"The territory is to America, as the monuments are to Europe,” says Cazú.

We are also at the drawing table ourselves, following our research over the past months, to craft our next Audio Podcast episode about an equally poetic and technical matter in praxis:

A priori architecture: matters of time in education and the design of the schedule.

Expect the release, a teacher training and expert interviews, organically over time before the end of this academic year.

Why not meanwhile have a listen to our earlier decade proof Audio Podcast episodes? Your free opportunity for capacity development as senior lecturer and course/degree coordinator.

Or, for a sunny spring day tune in to the music of our next episode, by the talented Lucas Rampazzo, called Ser/Estar - to be. 

ARTIST WE COLLABORATE WITH

 Photo Cazu Zegers - all rights reserved

Our Studio started a collaboration with the Chilean Architect Cazú Zegers who has shared a few hand drawn sketches from her renowned projects to give life to the covers of our Audio Podcast ‘How to design an effective and resilient curriculum’. The collaboration is infused with our shared passion for good educational design, and for our teachers - and ultimately, the students. Cazú has a beautiful phrase when she finishes her classes or speeches to young students:

^{“It is essential that the vocation of the architect can be accompanied by what he or she is passionate about, be it nature, sports, culture, the community, etc. At Cazú Zegers Arquitectura we believe that if you combine your vocation and passion you will be able to find your destination. ⁠This reflection arises from the experience of Cazú Zegers where her architecture has been the product of the following equation:⁠ Vocation + Passion = Destination .”}

You will find her hand drawn sketches appearing incrementally as new episodes release. A common theme is the landscape. The ‘gesture figure form’ methodology is very much related to the territory and sometimes comes from the territory. “The territory is to America, as the monuments are to Europe,” says Cazú. To learn about Cazu Zegers’ work please visit: www.cazuzegers.com. Find her thesis on the territory and Instagram.
