This first week of May took off at a slow pace. Monday, I just hid away, not speaking and just doing my own thing. From this I realized the power of speaking out and interacting with others. We live together and work together. For those of you who are out spoken, you are lucky, if you are not start practising as in this profession, we need to have strength.
I received a huge project at work though this week. I was only madding amendments, but they too were a challenge in ways such as, fitting in my work with that of the office style, understanding texts and styles, be able to rationalize on the overall layout and more. I finally plotted and printed on A1 paper, even use transparent paper at that- felt as though I had accomplished much(even the client was impressed with my work).
Mid week- I was thrown into the deep end. I started on a sketch-up 3D model. This building is larger than 1000 meters squared, its complex, sits on a sloped site, what a joyful headache. I also sat in on a short meeting with a Lava representative-she came in to show us some bathroom equipment which the client would be interested in as they have worked with her before. From this meeting I grasped the necessity of understanding materials, finishes, details of things and overall harmony of the space through the materials.
I learnt how to fold plans this week…hahaha, I just love the architectural profession, it is detailed and organized. I am still working on the 3D model though- I am doing it my way and it is working out, though I am not very familiar with sketch-up 8- it is too much of a problem I think.
BYE...BYE
