Campus Week

So this week was very chilled due to the fact that we were just getting drawings ready for clients.

For the 3 days i was at work I've been busy typing up drawing issue records and  issue slips, plotting drawings and making the necessary changes to drawings.

Spending the last 2 days of the week at campus was fun to just see everyone again. I found the lectures to be quite interesting. It was so funny to see how excited the lecture got when presenting us with work and i guess that"s what gets others excited.

So that's how my week played out.

Will keep you posted ;)

Traumatizing Experience

So this week hasn't been too good, I'ts been a real low point in my life and its hard to come back from.


Monday i was attacked and robbed by 5 school guys so I wasn't at work for about 2 days since my mentor gave me the days off. i'm back at work today but not in a good place and i guess it will take me a while to get back from it but with the good support i have hopefully I will be feeling better sooner than later.


It's been quite a traumatizing experience for me since i was alone and there was nobody around to help.


So that"s the worst week of my life....


Will keep you posted :(

So this week has been very chilled and stress free...


I've just been concentrating on turning the sketch design part of this project into working drawings so we've been busy wit sections and elevations of the new design.


Our mentor is trying to get Ayesha and I very involved in order to boost our knowledge and portfolio and i appreciate everything he has done for us thus far.


So that's my week for you....


Will keep you posted:)

So this week i had a new experience of going to site and actually measuring up on a new project we have been introduced too.


The site we went to is very secure so nothing gets past them, it was really intimidating with all these guys with guns. The brief requires us to convert a ablution block into a kitchen and to turn store rooms into bedrooms, it seems quite dodge to me but i guess it can be done.


So this week i have been focusing on drawing up the existing plans and elevations of the current project and its been good.


So that's how my week played out.


Will keep you posted.

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

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.
