  • What I love about Tangents is that it provides a much-needed alternative perspective on the architecture profession. The podcast challenges the idea that there is only one way to be an architect, and it shows that there are many different paths to a successful career in design. I also appreciate the way that the podcast highlights the diversity of the architecture community. The guests on Tangents come from all walks of life, and they represent a wide range of perspectives and experiences, and a... more

  • What’s not said in the profession

    This podcast perfectly labels the unspoken rules of architecture and the problems they cause. The stories in here are so relatable and nuanced in a way that most discussions about work just don’t get into. Even if you are in related design fields it is seriously worth listening to! 👏

  • Alternative paths

    I’ve really enjoyed the positive spin on what felt like a taboo subject. Leaving Architecture or even shifting to something different from traditional practice can feel like throwing away a ton of education and experience. Theses stories have been great in giving examples of how people have leveraged their backgrounds in Architecture to do more without abandoning it.

  • Great Resource for Architects & Designers

    Just a lovely collection of stories of people who’ve done cool things with a background in architecture.

    Episodes are short enough to be an easy listen, but long enough to capture some good tips and helpful advice.

From Studio to Stand-Up: Built in Architecture, Now Comedy with Nick White
Q: What role did your architectural training play in your comedy and character development?

From Studio to Stand-Up: Built in Architecture, Now Comedy with Nick White
Q: Can you describe your transition from architecture to comedy and how you built a touring show?
Nick explains that he pursued stand-up while working in architecture, grew his audience on social platforms, left the day job when brand deals and online engagement became sustainable, and then started planning his first tour for 2023 based on that momentum.
The Shift in Architectural Roles in Tech with AEC+Tech's Niknaz Aftahi
Q: What might a typical week look like for you, and what skills did you have to learn or adopt to run AEC Plus Tech?
A typical week involves talking to both AEC professionals and startups, guiding tool selection, and coordinating outreach. She had to learn UI/UX, business strategy, and leadership, while maintaining a people-centric approach to adoption.
The Shift in Architectural Roles in Tech with AEC+Tech's Niknaz Aftahi
Q: Has there been a shift over the years in the types of roles you see in companies as technology grows?
Yes. There's a move toward roles like data scientists and AI engineers within larger firms, and designers increasingly need knowledge of tech tools to stay competitive; adoption requires blending new tech with existing practices.
Pursuing Growth Through One's Career with Meta's Libo Li
Q: What advice would you give your younger self about taking risks and pursuing nontraditional paths?
Take the leap; titles are not the ultimate measure of success, and if you don't succeed you'll find another opportunity—fear signals growth, and chaos can be fun when framed as learning.
