Call to all students: Please make yourselves known here!

Anonymous

Are you a student of Architecture or Planning? Please come here to introduce yourself to us! Write a bit about what courses you are doing and what activities you are involved in! When I helped to organise the Under Construction forum, I realised that there are a lot of busy students who couldn't make it to have their say. Let's make ourselves known here!

I am currently the Architects for Peace Visual and Performing Arts Co-ordinator. I completed my Bachelor of Music Performance at The Victorian College of the Arts in 2005, and am currently teaching singing at a secondary school level and in a private studio. I have been involved in this organisation since it's fruition in 2003. I've co-ordinated the catering for the IntentCITY and the visual and performing arts for the under-construction forum. If there are any art students out there, please contact me to discuss contributing to our next forum.

Starting 3rd year. Play paintball and love studying architecture, even if i do get worked like a slave, and all my money goes towards paint. Have done some self-employed contracting out as a 'drafty' for an event management company doing walk throughs and client presentations but no work experience per se as of yet. I am currently enthused by the possibilities of defining an architecture of joy /or comedy, possibly as part of a thesis.

I'm a 5th year landscape architecture and architecture student at Melbourne Uni. I work part time at a large design company in Melbourne...so really, stock and standard for a student :P

Activities? I would have to say I immerse myself completely when I'm studying/working but I find taking a time out of design/planning to do enjoy different parts of the arts helps me keep my sanity and objectivity. I tend to go through news blogs and forums (both international and local) *like this one* just to see but I'm always a little intimidated to voice my own opinion!

I became a member this year so I still feel like a bit of a newbie i guess!

Wow, that sounds really impressive!

What parts of the arts do you like?

Perhaps I'll meet you at the pro-bono launch? I'm singing opera there

What do you mean by comedy and architecture?

I have just graduated from Architecture at University of Canberra.

I am working in an office in Canberra and am part of a new student group just starting up in Canberra planning to Educate ourselves and contribute to Architectural Aid and Humanitarian projects. I am also trying to scrap together maoney to do a Masters Course at the London Met Uni called Architecture of Rapid Change and Scarce Resource.

I really love the Architects for Peace website and the work you are all doing.

I am studying building design at TAFE. dont cringe, I intend to study architecture but having left high early school twenty years ago I couldn't go straight into a degree course. I am an artist foremost but trained as a chef. later I became a joiner, carpenter, welder and wood builder. I make tables and bookcases using japanese joinery and want to eventually be using these skills to design and build and have built, sustainable architecture. I am currently building a huge bus shelter (10 metres by 5 metres) using japanese joinery to make cantilevered trusses from timber salvaged from an old saw mill. Never too late to save and make a change.

Simon, your experience should not make anyone cringe but on the contrary welcome the contribution that you will be able to make--the first one that comes to my mind is the widening of architectural engagement with other fields +++ you can cook!!
I have also noticed your very thoughtful contributions to these forums.
Best of luck in your new path.

Thanks Beatriz. I am delighted to have found your forum and look forward to contributing more, when I have time aside from study and wielding a chisel, raising kids and yes, cooking.
