  • Took a while 😂 but good, I’m liking being able to think back on my week and reflect about how it went and what I could be doing better.

  • Great - really nice to reflect on the week

    Yashani, Architecture Student

  • Reflecting on my week was good as it kept me in touch with my emotions. However it did get me questioning a lot about life in the workplace and if it’s what I want to pursue even tho I’m already half way there :(

  • Very insightful! It was a surreal experience to write about my weekly schedule. It made me also realize what I is currently on my plate and what I can aim to have in the future!

  • Fun! it's nice to reflect on how my week goes :)

    Pearl, Architecture Student

  • Writing my ArchiWeek was a moment of reflection — a pause amid the usual rush of drawings, deadlines, and discussions. It made me realize how each day in architecture school carries its own story , from the technical challenges to the quiet creative breakthroughs.

  • Putting my thoughts into words helped me see how much I’ve grown, not just as a designer but as a thinker. It reminded me why I chose this path , because architecture constantly evolves, just like we do. Writing ArchiWeek wasn’t just documenting my days, it was rediscovering my purpose within them.

Week in the life of a 30-year old Architect, Tutor and creator in Cambridge, England

This ArchiWeek we have a week in the life submission from me (Aliya Pinnock). I am an Architect and I recently moved to Cambridge, England. I also create content, write blogs and work on this website :)

Introduction from the Writer:

I try to write an ArchiWeek at least once a year to share with readers of archistudentnotes and to reflect on my day to day architecture life every year. It is really interesting to look back and see what I was doing and how I was feeling in 2024, 2023, and 2022.

I am always looking for submissions so if you are interested click here and get writing! Would you have tackled the week any differently?
