A set of renders I did during my internship period, and it is completely done using Enscape (no post processing). I think the material library and the material manipulating parameters of Enscape are really good and it is really great for beginners. #enscape #rendering #architecture #interiordesign

"The Significance of Niche for Architecture Students" 🏗️ In the realm of architecture, discovering and nurturing your niche is akin to unveiling the blueprint of your professional journey. Here, we explore three pivotal pointers to assist architecture students in not only finding their niche but also harnessing its potential: Purposeful Exploration 🌟: The world of architecture is a vast canvas with diverse specializations. To unearth your niche, embark on a purposeful journey of exploration during your academic years. Engage in internships, workshops, and design competitions that align with your burgeoning interests. Seek guidance from mentors who have already etched their mark in areas that resonate with you. These hands-on experiences will be your guiding light on the path to identifying your true architectural passion. The Power of Research and Innovation 🚀: In the contemporary architectural landscape, innovation is the cornerstone of progress. Stay abreast of the latest trends, emerging technologies, and sustainable practices. Dive deep into subjects that captivate your intellect. Whether it's pioneering new materials, envisioning novel construction techniques, or redefining urban landscapes, becoming a maestro in your chosen niche demands a commitment to relentless learning and innovation. The Art of Collaboration and Networking 🤝: Crafting your niche often involves collaboration. Forge connections with peers, professors, and industry professionals who share your fervour. Attend conferences, seminars, and architectural symposiums to expand your web of contacts. Immersing yourself within a community of kindred spirits can lead to unforeseen opportunities and synergistic collaborations, enabling you to chisel out your niche with finesse. Your niche is the compass guiding you through the labyrinth of architecture, and it's through this unique perspective that you will shape the future of our architectural landscape. #aspiringarchitect #architecturestudent #Architecture #ArchitecturalEducation #DiscoverYourNiche #InnovationInArchitecture #Networking #ArchitecturalJourney 🏢🌆📐

Yesterday, I had the privilege of sharing my journey starting my career in architecture at The University of Queensland Kickstart Your Career EAIT Bootcamp on the graduate panel. From my first year of study, I was anxious about securing a job in architecture. The scarcity of practices offering graduate programs and the limited availability of junior positions, particularly for 'year out' opportunities, made the thought of future employment daunting. It seemed everyone I talked to stressed the importance of industry experience prior to pursuing post graduate studies. Fortunately, I received a referral for a student role from one of my tutors which helped me to start out, but navigating employment during undergraduate studies remained challenging.   During the session, I emphasized several key points in response to the students questions:   1. Take initiative: During your studies, reach out directly to practices and architects, ask to do a week of work experience, or even visit them for a day shadowing them for a day to gain exposure.   2. Get involved: Participation in extracurricular activities such as the SONA SuperStudio design competitions are an awesome opportunity to network whilst expanding your design skills and portfolio.   3. Attend and network: Attend various events such as product information nights, exhibitions, SONA talks, and design workshops. Building connections within the industry is crucial.   4. Reach out: Send your portfolio to practices that inspire you. In addition to your portfolio, include a well-crafted cover letter expressing your specific interest in their project work. Follow up with a phone call to the practice to ensure your email is seen.   5. Diversify your portfolio: Showcase not only your finished projects but also the process. Include rough sketches, photos of physical models, and also any related creative endeavors outside of your formal studies that demonstrates your skillset (photography, artwork, graphic design, furiniture renovation, etc).   6. Seek guidance: Don't hesitate to approach your tutors and lecturers about your career aspirations. They will likely have industry contacts they can either refer you onto or pass on contacts for.   Proactive engagement, networking, and diversification of skills and experiences are key to navigating the challenges of kickstarting a career in architecture. Thank you for the invite Olivia Dwyer, Rialet Le Roux who moderated the panel and of course the other panelists who also shared their exciting career experiences Pip Taylor, Stephanie Taylor, Riley Mackey and Kim Gao . #UQ #employability #careerdevelopment #UQArchitecture

Hello, I just thought about sharing a project I did for an internship opportunity last year. It is a conceptual design of a shading unit inspired by nature. Utilizing the biomimicry concept to respond to our climate actively, this conceptual design stands as a testament to our intrinsic connection with the natural world. As a tutor in the graduation project staff team in my department this year, I found that a lot of students are exploring the various possibilities of designing the envelope of their buildings in response to different aspects, especially the climatic one. So, I think this might be inspiring. I believe, as architects, we are not merely creators but also humble students of nature's grandeur. We should listen more to its whispers and weave its wisdom into our creations.

Yesterday 12th January 2024, marked the end of our Fall 2023-24 semester, with the Final Jury being conducted for the 7th semester students. This semester's topic of design was a Commercial Bank's Head Office branch. Our instructors were expecting a modernist design approach from the students. For my concept, I integrated the use of Aluminium Facade blades into an overall concept of Biophilic Design that generally revolves around sustainability. Therefore, a major dominating feature of my facade design was the use of green screens or green walls, which I have always wanted to implement in my projects. Another preference that I opted for in this project was the use of Stucco Cladding, due to its durable and sustainable nature. This corporate-level project was a good opportunity for me to learn the use of materials as well as develop basic knowledge on how to develop basements in commercial projects while making them accessible for parking purposes. It also allowed me to learn the use of base-isolation systems to prevent damage to the super-structures, during earthquakes. I would like to thank the course instructors, Dr. Vedia Akansu and Dr. İPEK YARALIOĞLU, and our jury member, Dr. Osman Göztaşı for their valuable feedback and guidance during the semesters and both the midterm / final term juries. I would like to mention my gratitude to Mr Muhammad Yasin, who was my supervisor during my summer internship, in 2023. It was due to his efforts and guidance that I had the privilege of working on government-based projects, which allowed me to have my initial exposure to the usage of materials, as well as Curtain wall glazings. A concluding note of thanks to my family, friends other seniors from my internship, whose encouragement and guidance allowed me to finish this semester on a positive note. #architecturedesign #3dvisualization #3dmodeling #archicad #sketchup #rendering #commercialdesign #banking #facadedesign

Compilation of Best of my Works in Architecture (2020-2023) for Internship (July 2023 - Jan 2024)

Meet our intern, John Trejo-Chavez! He was an invaluable member of our retail studio team this summer. Here’s a little more about John: 1️⃣ What college do you attend? I am a graduate of Greenville Technical college with an associate degree in architectural drafting. I am currently a third-year architecture major at Clemson University College of Architecture, Art and Construction. 2️⃣ What year will you graduate from Clemson? I plan to graduate in May 2024. 3️⃣ Where are you from? I am from Greenville, South Carolina, and I graduated from Greenville High School. 4️⃣ What are some of your biggest influences? I have always been interested in art, some of my greatest influences are artist. Notably Pablo Picasso, the greats from the Renaissance, Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and Caravaggio just to name a few. 5️⃣ How do you typically approach problem-solving? When approaching a problem, I like to use an interative process. Trying something, seeing if it works, trying a different approach, combining the two, starting over bases on what I learned, learning from failed steps. #MOATeam #MOAArchitecture #MOAInc #architect #architecturestudent #ClemsonArchitecture
