In this episode — Part 2 of Italy series — I sit down with my friend Shiho, who’s currently doing her master’s in architecture in Italy.We talk about how design is taught in Europe, the differences we’ve noticed compared to Japan, and the creative freedom (or lack of it) we’ve each experienced in school and in practice.From studio life to government jobs, from model-making by hand to designing for a world shaped by natural disasters, this conversation gets personal — and a little bit frustrated. We reflect on what it really means to stay creative when the real world expects practicality, cost-efficiency, and control.If you’ve ever felt torn between your artistic vision and the reality of working in design — this one’s for you.Music by @lofimusic_bts - Mood in Dm via @hellothematic
