Why is hands on, real-world experience so essential for students? Robb Berg, Principal of Design Workshop, highlights the importance of shaping the next generation of landscape architects through involvement outside the traditional classroom environment. There is often a gap between the theoretical approach taught in the classroom and the practical application on real projects. "Working for communities and with clients means understanding construction budgets, managing time constraints, navigating material limitations, and many more challenges, all the while trying to create meaningful and impactful work," says Robb. It is important to invest in this upcoming generation of young professionals, and Design Workshop’s Design Week and the Dr. Charles Fountain Internship Program are two examples of how we are providing practical experience for undergraduate and graduate students.

Yesterday 12th January 2024, marked the end of our Fall 2023-24 semester, with the Final Jury being conducted for the 7th semester students. This semester's topic of design was a Commercial Bank's Head Office branch. Our instructors were expecting a modernist design approach from the students. For my concept, I integrated the use of Aluminium Facade blades into an overall concept of Biophilic Design that generally revolves around sustainability. Therefore, a major dominating feature of my facade design was the use of green screens or green walls, which I have always wanted to implement in my projects. Another preference that I opted for in this project was the use of Stucco Cladding, due to its durable and sustainable nature. This corporate-level project was a good opportunity for me to learn the use of materials as well as develop basic knowledge on how to develop basements in commercial projects while making them accessible for parking purposes. It also allowed me to learn the use of base-isolation systems to prevent damage to the super-structures, during earthquakes. I would like to thank the course instructors, Dr. Vedia Akansu and Dr. İPEK YARALIOĞLU, and our jury member, Dr. Osman Göztaşı for their valuable feedback and guidance during the semesters and both the midterm / final term juries. I would like to mention my gratitude to Mr Muhammad Yasin, who was my supervisor during my summer internship, in 2023. It was due to his efforts and guidance that I had the privilege of working on government-based projects, which allowed me to have my initial exposure to the usage of materials, as well as Curtain wall glazings. A concluding note of thanks to my family, friends other seniors from my internship, whose encouragement and guidance allowed me to finish this semester on a positive note. #architecturedesign #3dvisualization #3dmodeling #archicad #sketchup #rendering #commercialdesign #banking #facadedesign

Another video from one of our colleagues as we continue to celebrate the People Pillar of our Social Impact Strategy. Mature student lee thackray is one of our Architectural Designers. Lee worked as a carpenter for 15 years before beginning his studies in Architecture. Carpentry's loss was our gain! P+HS Architects are proud of the support and mentorship that we offer to people exploring or entering a career in architecture. We engage with several initiatives to allow people a route into the profession including: - T- Levels - Apprenticeships - HNC Part time Study - HND Part time Study - Degree Part time study/ day release Many of these options open the prospect of an architectural career to those who previously wouldn’t have considered a higher education route. As a business we are keen to grow our own talent and offer routes such as apprenticeship schemes, as well as other part time study options, drawing on a wider talent pool of individuals who may be put off by full time education routes.

I have officially reached the end of my 12 month internship under the guidance of NPN architects and BZ Three Built Environment Consultants. I couldn’t have asked for a better work place environment as a “fresh out of university” Profesional Architect in the making. As I prepare for the next chapter architecture has for me, I would like to share a few things that I have learnt throughout my internship. 1. Ask! Don’t be afraid to ask for help, that’s how you learn. Be inquisitive, never leave a question unanswered. 2. Patience. Be patient with yourself. You’ve just started your professional career, you’re not supposed to know everything. 3. Draw. If all else fails go back to your drawing board with a piece of paper and a pen or pencil in your hand. I cannot wait to apply this pocket of knowledge as I further seek to learn from everything and everyone around me.

There are several ways to gain experience in sustainable architecture Education:** Pursue a degree or courses in sustainable design or architecture to build foundational knowledge. Internships or Apprenticeships:** Seek internships or apprenticeship opportunities with architecture firms specializing in sustainable design. Volunteering:** Offer your skills to non-profits or organizations focused on sustainability or green building projects. Networking:** Attend conferences, workshops, and events related to sustainable architecture to connect with professionals in the field. Self-Projects:** Start personal projects focusing on sustainable design principles to showcase your skills and passion. Certifications:** Consider getting certified in sustainable architecture or green building practices to enhance your credentials.

As students await results Degree apprenticeships are a fantastic opportunity to gain real experience as well as achieve academically.

THE DRIVING FORCE Driven by a fervent passion for architecture, a young graduate embarked on a relentless journey, dedicating five pivotal years to honing skills in architectural design, project supervision, and construction management. This immersive experience became the crucible for understanding the intricacies of the industry. Fuelled by an unwavering ambition, the graduate delved into a master's program in Construction and Project Management. Sacrifices echoed in late-night study sessions, as blueprints and project plans became nocturnal companions. The sacrifice wasn't merely a temporal commitment but a profound investment in knowledge, a currency more valuable than the sleepless nights it cost. Navigating the complex nexus of academia and professional experience, the graduate seamlessly fused theoretical frameworks with practical insights. The sacrifice materialized in missed social engagements and weekend getaways – exchanges for gaining expertise that transcended the classroom. Internships evolved from mere stepping stones to foundation stones, bridging academic insights with real-world challenges. The sacrifice manifested in the melding of design finesse with the strategic acumen required to navigate the multifaceted realm of construction and project management. This sacrificial narrative isn't just a chronicle of toil but a testament to resilience. Sacrifice turned the graduate into an architect of their destiny, one blueprint at a time. Each sacrifice etched a line in the narrative of professional growth, transforming a young architectural enthusiast into a seasoned professional, ready to construct a future of remarkable achievements. #architecturaldesign #construction #projectmanagement #engineeringdesign #sustainabledevelopment

🚧 It's time for PlanBEE 🚧 Great feature in CIOB People with Peter Barker, partner at Ryder Architecture, sharing all things apprenticeships and the mutual value they bring to young people and employers. "A lot of employers are intimidated by what they perceive as the complexity of hiring an apprentice. PlanBEE helps to remove those complexities. An employer just has to say ‘yes’." Peter comments. This is a system that works. Working with The London School of Architecture, we're currently looking for more London-based employers who can provide placements for future candidates.
