Thank you for inviting me back as a guest critic for the BA(AS) Year 3 end-of-year reviews
— seriously strong work on show.

What stood out to me was the commitment to physical models. Something that’s become pretty rare in practice, but still incredibly important. There’s a kind of decision-making that only happens when you’re working with your hands—when you’re not fully resolved, not over-polished, just thinking through making.

A physical model slows you down. It brings gravity, scale, and resistance into the process. You’re not just drawing or rendering an idea—you’re negotiating with it. And in that negotiation, unexpected things happen.

Digital tools are powerful, but they often end up presenting decisions rather than helping you discover them. The model, on the other hand, is closer to exploration.

Great to see that still being pushed in teaching. It’s fundamental, and honestly, still one of the most exciting parts of design.

That time I asked my son (six) to help with a wall mural proposal , and it turned out amazing!
