Melodie Leung on Women in Architecture

open-ended

Open/Ended is a platform for activist designers and thinkers around the world. Together, we will explore the spaces where creativity, culture and design intersect with technology, science, and engineering; with a lens on positive change.

Melodie Leung is a Senior Associate at Zaha Hadid Architects. Her practice has evolved over the last 15 years in lateral ways - extending into architectural, interior, product and furniture design - all of which would have done her mentor and friend Zaha very proud. She speaks with us about learning from Zaha, deep time, the future of technology and architecture, building and strengthening communities, design in the public realm, and her dreams for the future.

"If the present is not just today or this year, but the present includes everybody from 100 years before and 100 years ahead of us, that fundamentally changes the responsibility we feel in any of the actions that we do.” - Melodie Leung, Open/Ended #2
