since I have been back from Greece, I have been working at this architects practice that I have worked at before for my 3 months placement. The work I am doing now is not particularly inspiring, but yesterday's I got to go on a very educational site visit! I went there with 2 architects from the office and met one of the sub-contractors there for an 'informal' look around. I saw this as an opportunity to ask as many queries I have as possible regarding the site, details and anything that comes to mind that was architecturally related. Both architects were very patient and explained everything that I wanted to know. So now I know all about flat roof (correction) details etc, etc. The visit has also made me think that maybe architecture is NOT that bad a route to go down.

Alex from the office managed to pass his part 3 exam, but not without breaking into massive sweat! He was asked to draw his favourite building AND he had to draw detail of a pitched timber roof, meeting a cavity brick wall! yikes! I would hate to draw under pressure like that!!!
