I'm Andrew — Sydney architect, 25 years experience, now building digital properties in public.
Architecture taught me to see the world differently. I bring that lens to everything: design, coffee, travel, basketball, faith, and building things that last.
This channel documents the real process — the experiments, iterations, and 1% improvements that compound. Not just the outcomes.
Under Drawn and Built I'm building a portfolio of digital assets for architects and people who appreciate great design:
architecturewebdesign.com · bestcafedesigns.com · tinyhousezine.com · campusdesign.co · prefabprojects.com · spacesave.co · thoughtfulresidences.com · architectureawardstracker.com
I've just released 50 Most Beautiful Cafes in the World — a free 150-page ebook sourced from my own photography, collaborators and architects worldwide.

Made a new playlist for all things AI. I’ll still focus on architecture, but there are cross overs with workflows and image generation

Cutaway in Barrangaroo is opening to the public this weekend. Check it out if you’re in Sydney. And you want to know how it looks like I made a video about it

its the meaty end of the NBA playoffs and i'm busy at work, so very little time to create on youtube. The challenge to myself was to make a video in one session start to finish. Make it on a topic that helped my work, and my own stuff. I couldn't rely on good daylighting, had to be in a tight time window, using just ceiling lights.
Made it on how to make slide decks / presentations in Claude. There's a bit of confusion over how and when to use Claude design, chat, cowork and code. Made a video to explain different ways of doing it. Knowing how to make a presentation, and knowing how to deliver it can be useful in many ways

latest video is about a website i've been making over the last few years. It has a interesting background and origin, starting with web design, then myself strolling Sydney CBD to photograph 70 cafes, and then collaborating with 40 internationals that were new to photography, to working with an architectural writer, to then becoming a verified design journal

AI is taking over so much time at work, and in everyone's mind. I'll probably do a soft pivot and show how I'm exploring it, and mixing it in with our design journal publications, and digital marketing and architectural practice. Let me know if i should do videos on any of the following

made it to the end of the 30 day youtube challenge. posting a video everyday for 30 days. the last one was sharing how i became a christian, and life as a christian with its ups and downs.
know this is not for everyone, but check it out if:
your interested in what christians think, and what Easter is all about
you became a christian and are in a lull due to career and toll of sleepless nights with young kids
you face setbacks and health challenges
you have unbelieving parents, and wonder if God has a plan for them
this is a version of a testimony, and it was very off the cuff, no notes, so i missed many things, but hope it can help you on your journey of discovering Jesus
