Well this month, it seems to be a long with the projects dragging on. Things are not settling down, projects are been prolonged with continues changes. Every situation is expected in the professional world, but it is up to the architect to conduct themselves in a professional manner by always been productive and ready for anything.
So this week I worked on the main projects from last week. It is the holidays and a few of our projects are on stand still. This is making things in the office abit quiet.
For one of the project, I started on the outside staircase design. I had to produce 2 types- concrete and timber construction. It was an experience to explore the different materials and their construction methods. I exploerd the construction methods in a small 3d model and a basic isonometric drawing on AutoCAD = this was good for my skills and portfolio, I enjoyed this design and construction solving. At the end of producing 2 types, we chose the concrete staircase due to its cost, I also designed the balustrade using reference of the one just outside our office. Speaking of office, I think I should show you more about my work environment soon, I love the location of the office and even the office layout.
Though the process of the staircase design was fustrating and demanding, I made many mistakes and it was difficult for both myself and my boss, but in the end I did it and it was good.
WHEN YOU LOVE IT, YOU OVERCOME AND ACCOMPLISH...!
