PRACTICAL TRAINING
- AN EYE OPENER
“Architecture cannot be
explained but must be experienced”
totally
Geoffrey Bawa
Experiencing architecture in terms of scale and
proportions is easy when we see it physically. And hence,
there are some ideas which got clear in my mind in this
training. In this article I won’t be talking mostly on
architecture but my experience, when my title shifted
from student to a trainee architect.
ARCHITECT AS A MASTER BUILDER!
Yes indeed! Though we have contractors, consultants and
vendors for everything but we should have the knowledge
of all including services, purpose of everything. Interacting
with the specific consultant is meaningful only when our
concepts are clear. Architecture can make a difference in
society, in lifestyle and people and their way of thinking.
People (Client), Place (site/context) and Pattern
(psychology and activity relationship) are the important
parameters to look at for an architect to be a master
builder.
ARCHITECT AS A MANAGER!
Being regular in college as an architecture student, working hard on the sheets, making a day with two sun rises and
trying to put your best on each and every presentation requires a great time management but running an architectural
firm, coordinating work at site, meetings with client, altogether needs a different management skills in itself. But yes
architecture gives satisfaction. At the end of the day when you see your rendered sheets pinned up on a board or any
small detail being constructed on site is satisfying. In my internship I got to know how the project is executed and what
the methodology is and schedule for project.

“Because the beauty of human body is that
It hasn’t a single muscle which doesn’t serve its purpose,
That there’s not a line wasted;
That every detail of it fits one idea of a man and the life of a
man.”
