welcome to the family

ur school and year please...wanna know more

yeah, where it's location?

Don't ur school joins architectural workshop? never seen UCSI there

for the past 2 year where i joined, there were aliff academy, twintech, taylor and also politeknik...

this year we'll be having it at UTM in June

i think UTM've sent a letter to UCSI's head department. u can check with him. if not, i'll call them to send the letter to u as soon as possible. or better yet, u can just go to the website, and contact the organizers directly and get urself invited.

there's no need for "preparations" for an architectural workshop. if ur school is new, everybody'll understand. everyone's sporting enough and we welcome all. it's the whole spirit of architecture running around, u see.

i believe UIA sent their first bunch of students back in 2000 to UTM. i was the head of programme during the workshop in 2000. my god they were havok! cool bunch of people, though earlier we were expecting a bunch of ustaz and ustazah's who'll curse at our exhibitionist dressings and extremely small personal spaces (if u get what i mean)

can i take part time job in architecture firms after my STPM exam? cos i'm very interested in architecture...u know it... i want to learn more. get some insight into an architect's life. wat job could i get in an architecture firm (will they employ me for part-time at first place?)? and wat wud be the salary? can describe the jobs offered in detail? i think maybe work till my uni starts la. btw, how many u guys out there hv worked part-time in archi firms? watd did u guys do?

anything above 500 wud satisfy me. btw, isit tough and hard as part time workers? did they gv u a hell lot jobs (more like an office boy doing unnecessary jobs)?

sounds hard to get in, cos i'm jz having my STPM la.

it depends. if u have an uncle or a friend of ur parents would be great. usually architects prefer not to take the "uninitiated" (term we give to those who never studied design) unless they can get something out of it. my father's friend used to gila2 show me everything about architecture (after my SPM), but i found out eventually he was trying to get a project out of my dad lol.

anyways, for the uninitiated, most u'll do is help to colour drawings (if they still do things manually). one that i did was colouring blueprints. i hated it. blueprints smell like piss! and somebody has to do it!

but here's the thing: u need to be able to READ drawings. not look at them. but READ. i know, it's hard to explain, but architects READ drawings. ur ability to pick this skill up (since u're not initiated) will tremendously boost urself in the eyes of the people in the office.

a relative of mine is an architect. maybe can seek my dad to ask him.   read drawings? i really really really hope that u cud explain wat the hell is that to me... 
really that bad smell ah?
ok..thx for ur suggestions. i used to hv the Autocad installed in my pc...ok..that was 8 yrs ago...and it was in my old PC...
