As I wrap up my undergraduate studies in architecture, I'm thrilled to finally unveil my portfolio! This collection represents not just projects, but a journey of exploration, experimentation, and a growing passion for shaping the built environment. Throughout my undergraduate years, I've delved into various design challenges. From conceptualizing community spaces that foster interaction to tackling the technical aspects of sustainable building practices, each project has pushed me to expand my skillset and refine my design thinking. Beyond the technical aspects, my portfolio showcases my creative vision. You'll see projects where I've explored the interplay of light and form, or experimented with materiality to create unique and functional spaces. I'm eager to connect with fellow architects, designers, and anyone interested in the future of our built world. Feel free to check out my portfolio and let me know what resonates with you. I'm always open to feedback and excited to learn from the vast experience within this esteemed network. #architecture #architecturaldesign #designportfolio #undergraduatestudies #creativity #sustainability #builtenvironment

As long as the world is self organizing, the people in it must be able to self organize too. If someone had a degree in farriery, if there was such a thing, and the automobile industry replaced horses at light speeds, thus, the similarities between the two different times, now v then, employers want to know, do you have any improvisation left in you, or was it diminished in your time being educated? The biggest opportunity today is your ability to adapt to the evolving environment. Can you walk into an organization and heal that which the environment is struggling with? Is your life about you or is your life about the lives of everyone that you touch? Is there a degree in empathy, courage, acknowledgement, curiosity, thinking imaginatively, and improvisation? The greatest need will be in the field of awareness and transformation and how to deal with the challenges presented by the status quo, where 99.99999999% of the people believe that the status quo is out there, some where, not knowing that the status quo is within the gap between the brain and consciousness! The gap is the time interval between sensory input, cognitive processing, and conscious reasoning and response. If your RDLPFC is compromised, then you’re stuck!

PAID internships beginning with high school juniors and seniors and through college need to become the norm and not the exception. Opportunities for on the job learning need to be accessible and achievable for all students regardless of their zip code and include the necessary student success supports. More regions need to bring coalitions of major employer partners together to co-invest and co-create business-led talent pipeline solutions - here are a few examples: Greater Washington Partnership New York Jobs CEO Council CEO Leadership Alliance Orange County (CLAOC) P33 Chicago and there are many more out there; Milwaukee, Houston, Minneapolis, and Indiana come to mind.

Today marks a significant milestone for many as A-Level results are released. It's a day filled with a mix of emotions, from joy to uncertainty. If you find yourself pondering your next steps or feeling disheartened by your results, remember, this is not the end of the road – it's just the beginning of a new journey. This morning our Part II Architectural Apprentice, Bethany Long, shared her experiences with the clearing process live on BBC Radio Shropshire. Her experiences on the Architecture course at the University of Plymouth and her subsequent success is testament to the fact that there are always options available, no matter the outcome. ____________________________________________________________ "Be willing to take a step into the unknown" she says. "And know that things havent gone to plan, but theres another path waiting for you and thats going to be the right path for you" ____________________________________________________________ Have a listen to Beth's full interview below: #ALevelResults #Clearing #UniversityAdmission #Architecture #Apprenticeships

ICYMI: "Northeastern University, once considered a safety school, now rivals Ivy League institutions with its low acceptance rate of 5.6 percent due to its career-oriented academic model. The Boston university offers students up to 18 months of full-time paid work experience, significantly enhancing job prospects post-graduation. Nearly 95 percent of Northeastern students are employed or in graduate school within nine months of graduating. Other universities, such as Drexel and Georgia Tech, are adopting similar co-op models, with institutions like Wayne State University exploring this approach for engineering majors." https://lnkd.in/gFKV7Snb?

The construction industry faces a critical challenge: a shortage of skilled workers. According to a 2022 survey by Stanley Black & Decker, less than half of high school students have even considered pursuing a career in the skilled trades. Many young individuals remain unaware of the earning potential and opportunities within this field. DESTINI Estimator user Jaynes Corporation actively engages with the ACE Leadership High School, and we celebrate their dedication! 🌟 ACE Leadership High School, founded in 2010 through a partnership with the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC), aims to bridge this gap. Jaynes Corporation actively participates on the school board and collaborates with educators to shape the learning experiences of over 200 students annually. 📚 Learning By Doing: ACE Leadership High School offers a project-based curriculum that combines applied skills with foundational subjects. Students learn math, science, communication, and history through practical, hands-on projects. This approach caters to those who may struggle with traditional education methods. 🌆 Night Classes for All Ages: Older students, up to age 22, can attend night classes to complete their diplomas and gain job skills. The curriculum was designed collaboratively with AGC, labor unions, and industry professionals, ensuring alignment with workforce needs. 👷♀️ First-Hand Exposure: Students explore various construction roles and gain real-world experience through shadowing and internships. Even if they don’t pursue construction careers, this exposure keeps trade skills visible and relevant. https://hubs.li/Q02Kz0WT0 #Construction #Education #SkillsGap
