WEEK 28

WEEK 28 20^TH – 24^TH of August 2012

What a week this was, I feel like a town planner. So this week I was helping out with the designing and planning out of small low cost houses in Kanonkop Atlantis. The project was a small community development project that will consist of single standing houses and semi-detached duplex. The challenging part of this week’s assignment was planning the layouts of the small spaces that were between 40m² for the free standing ( 8.6m×4.8m) and the semi detachable duplex are 50m²  (5.6m×4.55m). So many ideas but they just don’t cut, better luck next week planning on sketching some ideas for next week.

WEEK 27

WEEK 27 13^th of August – 17^th of August 2012

This week @ the office we continued with the Delft project, I was in charge of phoning the various consults, which will be dealing with the construction of the Delft clinic. What I learnt was that in order for the Architect to select the perfect candidate is to contact not the construction company itself but the previous architectural companies that’s worked with them. Also an important thing TO consider is to know if they (the construction company) has worked on similar projects in the past, and whether they completed the project on time, these are very important when  it comes to selection the construction company. There are so many to choose from but we have to consider costs, reliability and quality. I really hope the constructing process may start while I’m still doing my inserve training so as to go on siteJ. Next week Zainab has to finalise the selection from the candidates we have contacted.
