T4E11: Communal spaces in Canada with Sue Jean Chung - Studio JCI

In this episode, we had the privilege of interviewing Sue Jean Chung, an architect who earned her Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Toronto. Sue Jean is a founding principal of Studio JCI, an innovative multidisciplinary practice based in Toronto Canada, focusing on residential and mixed-use urban developments. Sue Jean's philosophy emphasizes the importance of thoughtful architectural design at both the macro and micro levels to create spaces that promote well-being and functionality within their contexts. She is committed to sharing her wealth of knowledge and experience with the architecture and design community through initiatives like JCI Learn, a lecture series she established to mentor emerging architects, like us. Her topics span from conceptualization to the artistic details of construction drawings. We were eager to delve into Sue Jean's insights regarding her experience in a context like Toronto and how the practice of architecture is impacted by the current housing crisis in Canada.
