STEPPING UP

WHAT A WEEK YHO.. YOU KNOW ONE SHOULD NEVER UNDERMINE THEMSELVES OR THEY WILL BE LEFT BEHIND. BEING THE YOUNGEST AND INEXPERIENCED IS SCARY AND EVERYONE DOES NOT EASILY ENTRUST YOU WITH WORK.


THE WEEK STARTED OFF SLOW, I CAN NOT EVEN REMEMBER THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK. ON TUESDAY I STARTED ASSISTING WITH THE CONSTRUCTION RESOLUTION WITH REGARDS TO A STAIRCASE DESIGN. THE RISERS HAD TO BE CLOSED OFF USING WOOD AND STEEL. I STARTED LOOKING AT PRECEDENT AND READING UP FROM THE BUILDING REGULATIONS TO GAIN MORE INFORMATION AND UNDERSTANDING OF TECHNICAL RESOLUTIONS.

FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK I WAS DESIGNING TEMPLATES OF POSSIBLE DESIGNS FOR THE STAIRCASE AND HAND RAILINGS. SET UP A SMALL PRESENTATION WITH THE PRECEDENTS AT HAND. THE HEAD ARCHITECT WILL THEN DECIDE WHICH IS THE BEST POSSIBLE DESIGN OR THE ONE WHICH COULD BE WORKED FROM.

ANOTHER PROJECT I SLOWLY STARTED HELPING WITH IS THE RENOVATIONS OF OLD BUILDINGS IN THE BO KAAP AREA. THIS WEEK WAS ONLY ABOUT PAPER WORK AND IDENTIFYING THE LOCATION OF THE BUILDINGS WITH RELATION TOT EH NATIONAL HERITAGE LINE AND PROPOSED LINES. THIS STAGE RECURRED READING UP, PLOTTING AND FINDING CHARACTERISTICS OR PATTERNS AMONG THE BUILDINGS.

THE WORK IS STEPPING UP AND THAT IS WHAT I NEED......
