Hey :)
This was not a very busy week for me. I am starting to finish off this one project, The Pastorie, which is in its final stage of turning the old structure into a museum. We are just waiting for the clients to clear it with its council members becuase this is a project for a church. They have to finalise the plans and then we can send the plans to heritage so that they can approve that the addtions are in accordance to the standards and regulations. I've been told however that heritage council can be quite difficult, so fingers crossed that this will not take longer than it should. Other than this project I was helping in between with other projects to speed up the process of which ever project they were busy on.
This week I was feeling like my 2nd year is over and that now that I dont have to go to class anymore I want the my work year to just finish to that I can move on hopefully to next year. At the momment it just feels like time is going by so slowly now that it is coming to the end of the year, Im not as exited as I was in the beginning of the years with regarding my work practice. HOWEVER, I dont regret this year at all as it has tauwt me a lot in this year in terms of architecture and I have greater experience and feel for architecture and what is required to be an architect.
Have a good on. Peace :)

Getting back to Bussiness
Hey :)
This was a week I was not looking forward to, getting back into the working environment was going to be difficult. Working in a very hands on and practical environment, to sitting behind a computer all day, every day. But I soon became use to it again, it was like I never left. I thought that when I returned that work would be lowded on my me to make up for the two weeks I missed. This however was not the case as there was not that much work to do. This week I continued working on the Pastorie and it is getting to its completion stage. Other than that I was helping out with other work in and around the office.
The feeling of this week compared to last week is a big difference. I wish I was back at Elgin working on site with all my friends, I cant wait to be back in class next year. I miss the feeling of being a student, I know I will regret what I just siad as I hear 3rd year is tough. Im sure I will manage though, if I pass this year of course...
Till next week Have a good one :)

BLOCK 3
Hey :)
The last block week was a very fulfilling and successful project week. It was great seeing all my friends again. It was a very educational and great learning experience. As new architects we do not know how much work it is to do renovations and build on site. It has made me think twice about what I write on a plan the next I do additions, I have a new found respect for the construction business. I learned a lot from this experience, the methods one needs to take to ensure that you achieve the correct design as the plan states.
When the design was finished it looked beautiful, the satisfaction from building your own design is a great feeling. It looked amazing and because we made it ourselves it just made it look that much better. It was a great site to see when we showed it to the school, the children were so happy to see it. It was a warming experience to see that we as a class have down something good for the less fortunate. I hope that in the future there will be more projects like this, it is an experience that I will always remember.
Till next time :)
