"I tend to see design education in a larger way that's slightly beyond defining, giving students an unknown problem...what's important is that when you give them a known problem it is always a known solution. And then some students will short-circuit the whole process of learning by just adopting the known solution" (Cheah Kok Ming)If NUS architecture students' learning is to set them up for life, what life can one have after graduating? What are the alternative career paths? Has NUS got the right formula justifying their position at number  7 for QS World ranking for Architecture and Built Environment (2023) and number 1 in Asia? The interview deep-dived to give the listeners some ideas to ponder. A must for all Malaysian architecture academics to consider in light of the Malaysia-Singapore relationship (why are we always second best or lower in the rankings?) Toward the end, there is a discussion on the supervisor / academic's attributes in running M Arch design studio programs. ‘Cheah Kok Ming is an Associate Professor at the Department of Architecture and the Assistant Dean at the College of Design & Engineering, National University of Singapore (NUS)'  (full bio in teaser caption)©️Talk Architecture 2023, Author: Naziaty Mohd Yaacob.  Photo credit ©️ Cheah Kok Ming and his students at NUSSupport the showDo subscribe for premium content and special features which will help to support and sustain Talk Architecture podcast on a more in-depth explanation on design thesis and processes.
