    Discover the secrets behind the harmonious marriage of digital and analog design with acclaimed architect and Grand Designs New Zealand host, Chris Moller. Chris shares his unique perspective on the vital importance of tactile, sensory engagement in the creative process, reflecting on how traditional tools like pencils and legos can foster innovation. He also revisits a historical chat between Kevin Kelly and Brian Eno, uncovering the essence of good architecture through the lens of Marshall McLuhan's theories.

    Unlock the power of juxtaposition and shock tactics in the world of design, as we draw parallels between media, art, and architecture. Chris discusses how master architects like Bjarke Ingels and Rem Koolhaas use these techniques to provoke new ways of thinking, and we contemplate the calming effect of physical creation in a digitized world. This episode also takes a deep dive into extreme sports, revealing the parallels between the intense focus required in sports like whitewater kayaking and the craft of architectural design.

    Connect with the cosmos and nature through architecture with Chris's insights on projects like the Mount Pleasant Community Centre and the Porirua Community Market, Kai Tahi. We explore how learning from natural forms and historical principles can lead to more sustainable and efficient designs. The episode wraps up with an inspiring highlight of the Ruamahanga River conservation project, showcasing the powerful impact of grassroots activism and community involvement in environmental restoration. Join us for a journey that bridges the past, present, and future of design, offering a rich tapestry of insights and inspiration.

    Have you ever found yourself mesmerized by a childhood slideshow, each frame a stepping stone on the path to your future? Simon Devitt, a renowned New Zealand photographer, joins us to share a laugh and trace the serendipitous journey from those familial beginnings to the pinnacle of architectural photography. With his camera, Simon captures more than structures; he documents the intersection of human experience and design, reminding us that every picture holds a story waiting to be told.

    This episode is like a well-curated gallery walk, guiding you through the delicate art of 'slow photography' and the profound influence of fleeting moments. We debate the gifts and curses of digital technology in the creative world, all the while drawing lessons from tennis courts and kitchen organization. Simon's vivid recollections, from selling cameras to working with Sir Ian Athfield, illustrate how those who walk with us, even briefly, can redirect the course of our creative rivers.

    Join us as Simon imparts the wisdom gained from teaching photography to architecture students—lessons about presence, observation, and the surprising creativity borne of stillness. And just when the path seems too solemn, Simon lightens the trek with his spirited views on balancing online professionalism with the joy of sharing a good meme. We wrap up with a poignant reminder of the power behind capturing the essence of architecture, knowing full well the conversation is far from over, as we navigate our own storied landscapes.
