In this week's episode, Katerina sits down with designer Feyi Quadri to explore her journey through the demanding Architect Registration Examination (ARE) and the vital role of community outreach. Feyi reflects on how her early fascination with the way people interact with spaces ignited her passion for architecture and how her academic pursuits deepened this understanding, shaping her design philosophy today.
Feyi candidly shares the challenges she faced when beginning her ARE journey and how a much-needed break positively impacted her mental health. She highlights the abundance of resources now available for exam preparation compared to when she started and provides insightful advice on balancing study, work, and family life.
Get inspired by Feyi's story of co-founding the student chapter of the National Organization of Minority Architects (NOMA) at her school, creating a supportive network for minorities in architecture. Her dedication to community outreach continues beyond graduation, as she works to enhance student experiences, and learn from the next generation of architects.
