Thanks for allowing us to look inside ZHA! Keep these coming 🙌

A great episode indeed. I have been wanting to understand what happens in CODE for a while and this was a great showcase. Thank you for making the episode.

Such quality content. Amazing work showcasing what goes on 'behind the scenes', good job guys.

[@lvseka]

Great stuff, Zaha is definitely a peculiar firm (In a good way), one of a kind and definitely ground breaking. More stuff like this for sure.
Smaller more traditional firms with a twist would also be interesting to see as well.

What is Architecture??
I tell my kids’ if you can draw ✍️ you will never starve. Your dad’ could break my back…take the house and bank account!! I will still be ok!! All I have to do’ sit in a wheel chair on Market Street Sydney and show off my designs.. people will come to me’ Not because I am in a wheel chair BUT because they genuinely like my designs!! Now I may have to modify my original designs based on clients budget BUT that’s ok!! Not everyone is a movie 🎥 star who can afford PRADA designed 100k dress BUT the fact remains “if the house of PRADA” wanted to design $1000 dollar dresses for the mass market “they are most welcome” BUT the house of PRADA” chooses NOT to play in that segment!!!!
