Crying during your architecture presentation
So it is indeed deadline season. The day you have been working towards is finally here and it can feel overwhelming and scary BUT there are certain things I have learnt myself and seen in others that I would not recommend you do right before your deadline.
Some tutors are insert one of various words I have used to describe bad ex-tutors. They don’t listen to your work, they steer you only to what they like, not what’s good for the project and like to make you feel bad about your work.
You can also have tutors that are nice, supportive and provide constructive criticism that helps you move your project forward without feeling overwhelmed - I would like to think I fall into this category.
I very much hope your tutors also fall into this category but if they don’t please do not let them get to you permanently. In the moment, it will feel bad but brush it off, seek advice from others and come back stronger for yourself, not prove anything to them.
Good luck!
I hope this was helpful for you and if you have any more ideas or comments, please feel free to leave them below.
See you in the next one!
Networking. Something that as a new Architecture Student over 10 years ago, I was definitely not aware of but I am sure if you are in Architecture now as a Student, Assistant or fully qualified, you would have noticed that 'networking' and how powerful it can be has been a frequent topic of discussion recently and over the last couple of years across social media and especially on LinkedIn. Feel free to follow/connect.
