Same old Same old

This week has been a normal week hey, we were quite busy but nothing really stressful.


I've just been really busy with the existing plans, sections and elevation. I like doing new things but doing existing work is not as exciting but at least there is work so I'm happy.


So that's how my week played out


Will keep you posted

Site hand over

So my week has been kinder busy having to draw up existing plans and going to  site hand over.

The existing plans are for the new project that was introduced to us but for some reason i have a feeling it will be dragging out because of undecided clients and since there are a hand full of them the process will be much longer.

The site hand over that Ayesha and I attended was a project that was done before we were at the firm but our mentor took us along to experience what is like and also to see what part the architect plays in these meetings as he is the principal agent on the project.

The contractor, engineers,project manager and quantity surveys that we met were the friendliest and nicest people we met. they were so supportive towards us and they made sure that we understood everything as we went along. they were very supportive and concerned about out studies and wished us the best for our studies.

So that's all we did for the week.

Will keep you posted:)

So this week was quite average hey. I was busy with work yet it wasn't hectic.


I am currently working on the new project we were presented with so I'm just basically  drawing existing plans and doing sections. It's kinder tough when you don't know how the building really looks and or what windows and doors are used so you just drawing up what you think is right until you go to site to go and measure up.


So that's how my week played out.


Will keep you posted ;)

The week at campus was interesting since i had mixed emotions about going back.
I was excited to see my friends but i was just annoyed seeing that sad building, its just so depressing....


Other than that my week wasnt that bad,had a few interesting site visits in the cold and had some fun moments doing it :)


i"m just patiently waiting to see what our MIP has in store for us:)

So since i had finished off the previous work i have been allocated i could start on the new project our firm has been presented with.


An overall plan, existing plans and elevations need to be drawn up on CAD since the existing drawings received are on paper/bumf and hand drawn, so meaning these drawings are ancient lol.


Everyone was allocated a block to draw up although there was a time limit for me since mine had to be finished off before my week away to campus, and thus i worked hard and finished it before the end of the day:)


So that is how my week played out.
