06 - Honest Buildings and Digital Doubles

Architecture and online personas ft. Mahmoud

In this episode, Mahmoud and  I unpack his career trajectory from environmental engineer to architect. We answer questions such as:

What’s the difference between an honest and dishonest building? 🏢
Why is your dream career kind of like a stalker ex? 👨‍💻
What is a prefab house? 🏠
Why is an architecture school portfolio similar to your own Instagram feed? 🤳

Of course we inevitably get off topic, and end on our attitudes about posting photos on social media. We explore why AI fails to capture humanity's inherent mutability, and also archiving as a way of remembering. 

Mahmoud’s references:

Rave by the seaport: Mahmoud’s final design project for school
4' Cedar Gable with Arched Wood Beam
Gable arches: decorative elements in architecture, popular on the South Shore, NS.
Barbican Centre: brutalist design in London, UK.
