During my interview with my mentor Monica, I remember a key fact that imprinted in my mind. In fact it was a realization that struck me, of how much the user of a building is impacted by any structure. Even though the general public isn't really aware of how much they are affected by architecture throughout their day; from the function of the building, to its safety, and design or mood, it all affects the user. In addition, Monica had also recommended I be more aware of my surroundings and look at how a building is positioned with the ground, a lined with the streets, and connects with the sky. All in all, I merely just don't want to take Monica's advice and just intake it I actually want to follow through and experience her advice first hand this year.
To Do List for this Year:
- Take a trip to a well known monument of architecture, and analyze its detailing of its exterior and interior. Bring a sketch book along to visualize and record what you evaluated. Ask yourself how this structure makes you feel, and later do some research on the structure and its architect to find design facts on the building.
- Also take a walk in your neighborhood and analyze the architecture, bring your sketch book along and pose questions as to why the architect decided to follow through with this certain style of design?
- Attend a seminar or presentation about architecture, and note important facts.
- Learn something new each day about Architecture.
- In addition, do an internship at a construction cite to also be knowledgeable in the construction field. Since in fact Architects need to be able to communicate and have a good relationship with Contractors during a design project.
- Take an Art Class that is highly skilled in distinct lines, shapes, space, colors, textures, compositions, light, tint, shades, tones, shading, proportions, and glaze.
- Craft your own structure/ learn how to use CAD drafting system.
