Things not to do before your architecture deadline
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.
Learn new software
So I’m starting this post of with something perhaps, a little controversial but I’ve seen how it can completely derail students. If you have prior knowledge and are confident you can learn quickly, then go ahead. But if you’re trying to learn a new software as an absolute beginner whilst still developing your work it can get messy.
Miss your tutorials
Honestly one of the worst things you can do, especially if you feel like you’re behind. Your tutors are there to help, go to each and every tutorial, work or no work. Use them for whatever you need and if they aren’t what you need, ask other students, friends or another tutor!
Rush your work
I know and have seen the impact that feeling of being overwhelmed towards a deadline has as a student and as a tutor. Please know, you have time. Plan your days and manage your time between now and your deadline to spread out your work load.
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.
