On the 4th of December I started my work experience at RKD architects. Since I was 11 I have always dreamed of becoming an architect so this work placement was perfect for me. I got the opportunity to experience what it would be like to work in this profession and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I started my week at the office adjacent to baggot street getting to know some of the workers at the office that I would be surrounded by for the next week. I was first introduced to Eugene who would be overseeing my time at the office. After that Eugene logged me into the computer and briefed me on what I would be working on while I was there.
I was tasked with finding a location anywhere on the planet and using a design programme to build my dream house on the plot. I managed to find a dream location overlooking the sea in sunny Northern California. I had to incorporate services into my location choice like nearby school, doctor, shop etc.
After I had decided I wanted to use this location I went about building my dream house. I designed my dream house when I was 12 or so and i thought that would be perfect to make on te the 3D design platform so I found my rough sketches I had drawn and used them to help make the house. I had to stay late some days to ensure I finished my house on time but I managed to just about do it. Although I didn't get to furnish anywhere but the kitchen and master bedroom I barely noticed the week had passed I was enjoying myself so much. I am pretty much sure that's what I want to do when I finish college and begin my professional career.
