This week on Musings Behind the Creative, we revisit the journey of Alastair Blyth — from his early studio days as a student architect to becoming a leading educator, researcher, and voice for the profession. In this special episode, Alastair reflects on how education shaped his practice and how practice, in turn, reshaped his teaching. He shares the realities behind architectural training, the lessons that carry through a lifetime, and the value of curiosity as the foundation for meaningful design. For students finding their path and architects rediscovering theirs, this conversation is a reminder that growth in architecture never stops — it simply evolves.
