Welcome to the debut episode of Loading...Architects Learning, where Adeline—a registered architect and design manager with a side hustle in AI—and Elena—an architecture student exploring life—kick off their unfiltered, no-budget podcast. Recorded during a Hong Kong typhoon, the two dive into why they started this journey: creating a space to casually chat about the state of architecture, the hurdles facing students and professionals, and the game-changing role of AI in the industry. In this first episode, they touch on the big themes they’ll be tackling, like the disconnect between what architecture students learn and what really happens in the field, and how tech innovations like AI are transforming the profession. Adeline shares candid reflections on her own career path, while Elena seeks insights on what’s ahead as she starts hers. They wrap up by explaining the podcast’s name—Loading...Architects Learning—a nod to the constant flow of new information and the weight this generation of architects carries, similar to how machine learning evolves. Raw, real, and with no edits, this podcast is all about sparking conversations and learning together. #architecture #entrepreneur #artificialintelligence #career #selfimprovement
