<sup>“I was recovering from a brain tumor, and - already struggling for a year - realised I was unable to structure my work and had no idea how I could ever graduate continuing in this way alone, and so I reached out for help. Tikvah strenghtened me to pick the thesis back up, in a moment that I was really down and out about it. We had to start with writing just a few lines a day, that was my tempo. I have come to trust Tikvah completely, and the approach she takes really resonates with me. I was so relieved to visualise all the knowledge in my head, it really calmed me. I am learning so many new skills in writing and communicating for the reader, to stop being so overly academic. The way Tikvah trained me with writing techniques is the invention of the century to me - it offers me structure, without being a straightjacket. I write with souplesse now and start seeing I’m actually not that bad a writer! I use it now everywhere, for my emails, for job applications - and I found a job! Now, I graduated too and can finally start a new page in my life.”

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.
