The Design Writer

I am a better writer and thinker for having heard this episode. To say it's profound is an understatement - Marcus Baumgart; a writer who designs buildings, is best described as indescribable. Amanda and Marcus' journey through his “Lego-obsessed” childhood, his “architect with a capital A” education, through to the incredible breadth of work he currently undertakes. Marcus is a published writer, curious thinker and one half of the genius behind Baumgart Clark Architects.

In this episode Amanda and Marcus discuss living life on a broad canvas, boredom being the worst fate for a creative, how his time at RMIT taught him to think and why it’s better to be specific rather than original. Prepare to be mesmerised as they discuss the joy of articulating with clarity, the best way to begin any writing piece and Marcus’ lofty aspirations. With so many nuggets of wisdom scattered through this episode we highly suggest a pen and paper in hand. Palomino Blackwing pencils & Moleskine notebook preferred but not essential.
