Hi hi , sorry. I don't know where to ask. Therefore, I posted here.

Do anybody know URA colour codes? It's something like the indications of colours for types or functions of the buildings in the map.

I need it urgently for my assignment. I tried to search from the internet but I just couldn't find. Anyone knows it , please tell me where i could get it from, or send the files to me, or simple type the link for me. Thank you very much.

Arch student.

Hey, must Architecture students be hectic?
Sometimes, I wonder why they don't let us much time for some works. Erm, is it the same when we are working outside?
I soemtimes really don't agree with soem tutors, but I couldn't do anything as they don't even want to listen. I also found that some of them are very mean, and discouraging. They tend to give themselves excuses , saying that we should have beared with comments , as when you work outside, you will face the same. I can understand that. But don't you think they should not discourage so much, as it would be better to encourage people and make them more aware of their creativity ?

For example, I do have tutors they will say " i think you should stop now, I don't really want to listen to you" to their students . And this kind of tutors are not few. Sometimes, I really think they are mean. I just wonder why they want to be so discouraged, Aza, would you be like that?! hehe..I know it's still up to us if we choose to listen to them or not. But sometimes found that in school, we are learning, we should have more opportunies to learn through mistakes. We could have done wrongly as we are stiull new to a lot . if they don't even want to listen to us ,can they enlighten us by pointing our mistakes? and could we learn from our mistakes ? as we don't even have chance to finish our words or sentence.we do not know what happened and do not really what mistakes we have done.

I think some of them are favorism, once tehy have some kind of mindset, it's hard to convince, they will stop you anytime when you are trying to convince, it's even hard for those whose llanguage are not really good.

I just want to know if it is all the same in every schools of archi. I thought they should let us to enjoy and be interested or faith in what we are doing. I am not saying they should not give comments , but i think they should be more diplomatic. A simple manner... to let people finish their words .

Have a nice day-

Hi,
I understand , but i think most of the time , we do think of what the tutors had told us. We do think of that but our execuation may not be so good to show. it doesn't mean that we don't have that kinf of knowledge. I know architecture is always about how to express and apply what we think on what we have done. This is what we are learning. But don't you think it would be better if tutors could let us finish words first and then just point out our weakness.For example .tell us why we shouldn't show like that, how we could show that. Because what I think is tutors they sometimes, don't even know we have that kind of knowledge ,and then thier comments make us really in dilemma by giving again some advices that we have actually thought about that , but this is still the result we got. Some how , i found taht those comments really make us confused and don't know what's wrong with our things.
Example, we may think a lot like ..".1. fact 2 fact 3 fact "to design a book
Every part of the book, we considered a lot and come out with a design . When presenting , we just got to say two sentences like " this book is designated for chilren and some parents, this is because in 1819 we ..." the tutor suddenly stopped you and said " i don't wnat to listen to u as i don't see what you ahve told " Don't you think it's really unfair to us. don't you think it's mean? Honestly some of my tutors were liek that, I met some , too.

You know, when tutor said " i think u should stop now, i don't want to listen to you , I don't see what you have just said from teh thing you have shown" i really think tht this kind of comments are not really useful enough, don't u think so?It is just the same like I could say " I hate your work , i don't see what you intedn to design" I really feel tht that is unfair .As in , Don't you think it would be betetr , if I let you finish your words, and I gave you comment like " I can understand , you do not have to finsih so long story but this part i don't think it shows clearly as i think it would be better if you could use some otehr methoid to show because to me now, this part is showing " ....." " this kind of comment, don't you think it's mroe useful and make sense ? I MEAN to say that the comments should always come out with a reason and a suggestion " It would be only fair if it's like that
Not only our works have to convince them i think their comments somehow have to convince us as well.

Have a nice day~

Added on March 12, 2008, 10:53 pmAza, your example " the singing competition" makes sense . Thanks. I do like Simon .
THANKS
I understand more about the tutors' teaching method now . Thanks .
Anyway, Archi is fun in the sense of learning to deal alot with the communication and thought , the way you speak , the way you act , the way you apply , i think . It's not like study and study . Yes, we do have to study but something tht you have found from the book doesn't really mean it can fix the current problem that you face.

Totally agree. It's very different from what you have learnt in school .
In my opinion, architecture teachers normally only help you to be clearer about what you are doing or intend to do and your ideas. They won't tell you how to do , because you are the one telling them how you are going to do . They will only give you suggestions , but it's still up to you to choose to listen or not . Even though they give you their suggestions, it's still your own "interpretation" of their sugegstions . What you have designed in your head may not be the same as what they have designed in their heads when giving suggestions. Thus , you will have to always " show" them not by talking only , but by " making(models) " or " drawing" as well . True, The process is quite " strugglling"

Hello , azarimy , It's me again . How are you!?
Miss this thread and you sooooo much .Useful thread , I need to admit it.
Wish to come out lim teh ( drink tea ) with you one day although we never meet before .

Anyway , I would like to ask you some questions here.
Let say I am taking archi recognised by RIBA now, and then I finish my RIBA part one in A school, after that, I decide to take my RIBA part two in another school( B school) .
B school is recognised by both RIBA and PAM .
If I further my years in B school and complate my course, I'llbe recognised by RIBA part 2 and PAM part 1 , or RIBA part 2 and PAM part 2? ( I don't have any PAM part one )

Thanks and have a nice day
Jia
