Earlier this week, Studio Razbash’s director Ilana Razbash joined the hosts of The Architects on Triple R 102.7FM, delivering thoughtful insights on architectural communication, advocacy, and the principles of good vs great design. The program, which aired on 15 January 2025, featured Ilana alongside Tania Davidge, Executive Director of Open House Melbourne. The hosts for this special broadcast were Stuart Harrison and Rory Hyde.
After a decade-long hiatus, The Architects has returned to the airwaves for a limited summer series of six shows, making this episode a truly special occasion for the architecture community.

From Vision to Voice: Ilana’s Journey in Architectural Communication
Ilana’s appearance on The Architects reflects Studio Razbash’s dedication to making architecture more accessible. As the founder, curator and host of Radio Architecture, a popular show on local community station Radio Carrum, Ilana has long championed the idea that clarity and connection are essential to both great design and great communication.
On the program, Ilana shared her perspective on how thoughtful architecture can shape human experiences, emphasising the importance of designing spaces that foster comfort, community, and emotional resonance.
Good vs. Great Design: A Studio Razbash Philosophy
One of the key highlights of the discussion was the distinction between good and great design. Ilana noted that while good design addresses functionality, great design transcends it—creating environments that inspire, connect, and adapt to the needs of their users. These principles guide every project at Studio Razbash, where innovation and emotional connection are prioritised alongside practical outcomes.
Radio Architecture: Extending the Dialogue
Ilana also spoke about her work on "Radio Architecture," a unique platform that explores the intersections of architecture, art and design. This initiative aligns with our studio’s belief in the power of communication to transform not just spaces, but also the way we engage with them.

Designing for Clarity, Comfort, and Connection
At Studio Razbash, our approach to architecture is deeply rooted in four core principles: clarity, connection, comfort, and community. From concept to completion, these values inform every design decision, ensuring that each project meets the needs of its users while contributing to a more thoughtful built environment.
