I Need Your Help – Q&A

One of the reasons I haven’t uploaded much this year, despite my desire to write more this year, well I haven’t had many new stories to share with in regards to architecture school. This blog has largely been about writing about my own experiences, typically as they happen, but when you’re only doing two planning…

My New Job

Last week I sat on a panel to talk about my experience with an old subject at uni, Architecture Practice. I sat in between two practicing architects, and there was another practicing architect (who was also my Studio C tutor), and they spoke about their journey to becoming a registered architect. When Peter Raisbeck asked…

Architecture School as a “Mature” Age

Architecture school takes a long time, and if you go through in it’s entirety it will take up five years of your life. That can easily extend out if you take some semesters part-time or fail a couple subjects. A common concern when fellow students email me saying that they have failed is that they…

The 2016 ArchiMarathon

I thought I’d re-visit 751 days in the past, back to what is referred to as ArchiMarathon. And the reason I’m looking back is for a couple reasons, one being that Kevin Hui (who led the marathon) is now going interstate with ArchiMarathon and chatting with him about it brought up old feelings. Second reason,…

What Should Architecture Students Do During Summer Break?

Here in Australia we are currently on our summer break, well those of us who didn’t do any summer school. I don’t know about you but at the start of the break, or even the shorter winter break, I think about all the stuff I want to do. I mean there is a lot that…

Failing in Architecture School : 2.5 Years Later

Back in May of 2015 I wrote an article, Failing, where I talked about my personal experience of going through the process of failing multiple subjects. I implore you to read the post so you have an understanding of where I’m coming from, however the shorten version is I failed three subjects back in Year…

Calling it Quits (This is clickbait)

That’s it, I’m done, I’m calling it quits… For 2017. This year has been fairly scattered and the blog is reflective of this, so despite there still being 12 days left of 2017 I’m doing my end of year post. In past ‘end-of-year’ posts I’ve listed the top posts for the year, however I’ve only…

Is Nightingale Night School For You?

Whilst this is oddly specific and tailored to students at the Melbourne School of Design heading into Design Thesis during the second semester and Nightingale Night School happens to be an option, I’ll also try and make it broad enough to appeal to everyone. Ultimately this blog post will be about what are your interests,…

“How does it feel to be done?” “Ehhhh”

Once again I went MIA on here, and my “excuse” is I was finishing off my thesis project. I’ll get back to the Auroville and Instagram posts, but I wanted to write about this strange feeling I have been experiencing since submitting my thesis. It’s been 8 years leading up to this moment, three years…
