    This week, I’m delighted to be joined by Maria Paez, an architect, researcher, and educator whose work spans practice, academia, and critical inquiry into the changing nature of work. Throughout the episode, she offers thoughtful insights on:

    • The future of Part 3 as the Bartlett School of Architecture's Part 3 Course Leader,
    • The evolving ARB competence frameworks,
    • And the skills architects will need to navigate contemporary practice.

    Sharing rich, reflective advice for both current candidates and those considering Part 3 as their next step.
