Hey everyone, the time has finally come! It's the final episode of the season but you knew we wouldn't leave it on a dry note. 

This episode explores the film Inception, directed by Chris Nolan, a pioneer in the media and arts industry. If you haven't watched a Nolan film before, Inception should be your first! I think it's fair to say that this year has had its ups and downs, but what can we as designers and creators learn about architecture in the wake of a pandemic? Inspired by an architecture student, Ariadne in the film inception, we came up with creative solutions as to how we could do more, simply by digesting what has been previously. But is this a closed paradoxical loop?
