Week ending October 21st

This week I went to site for the Hermanus hospital. We went on wednesady and spent most of the day on site. I was part of a technical meeting in discussions with Architects, consultants and checking on the progress of the hospital. There were issues brought up concerning roofing details which needed to be resolved as well as seeing the harsh side of being an architect when builders were not building walls properly which resulted in the architects demanding for the walls for an entire zone to be demolished and re-built. However, it was a welcome change where I was hands on with the project.

Week ending October 14th

this week was much like the other week with more C-sheets for the hospitals. There weren't too many mark-ups being received from London therefore I was switching onto other projects being handled by other teams in the firm and being involved in different hospital projects .. Doing C-Sheets .....

Week ending October 7th

This week I was involved in more C-sheets for the Glasgow Hospital as well as the Hospital in Papworth. It was not too demanding, thus giving me the chance to focus on my university work .

This week was the university block so I wasnt at work but spent the week at university which was a welcome change from the corporate world. It was nice catching up with other students as well as working with them on designing for the St. Michael School functions and presenting my hub for a preliminary crit. A highlight was watching a video compiled by Tiago dos santos, which was inspiring and also served as a reminder of what one can achieve which I will admit was becoming distorted with all the admin work thats also involved with firms due to maintaining costs and other things for projects ..
