Senior Project final review...success...graduation...work...and next to come...It has been almost 90 days since I last posted on this blog but now I am back on the track.
In the uncanny world of architecture, pragmatism and radicalism are always in a fight, in an everlasting fight to power, to rule,...but in this fight aesthetics is a loser.
Again Hey all, writerly readers of thy nomadic blog. First you will all wonder where have I been all this time. The fact is that I graduated 1 week before Christmas, and I managed to upload in the previous post some images of my final senior project. (more exhaustive images are to be posted later this week, and this is final)
Nevertheless, and before advancing more in my "rhizomatic" academic quest for knowledge to progressing to a master's degree , I sought the chance of indulging in some practical real life work. As a result, I worked since January and for around 2 months in an architectural office developing real life projects(well mainly experimenting on 3Ds, elevations, plans, details...bla bla bla). Below is an image of the active staff at my workplace (the poor image quality is due to it being shot by a mobile device)
From Left to Right:
Rana, Hisham abi rached, Ziad, Me , Roland, Ghassan, Jean
Though we are all knocking down our heads, but fear nothing, it's not mourning
When the staff knew about posting their image on this blog, they demanded I add small hints about each character, so here they are (those of you not interested in passive information, can omit this section cause it is primarily descriptive).
Rana: funny, but mostly agitated upon mentioning her beloved one. She is active but calm. The only girl in the Atelier (besides the secretary of course).
Hisham abi rached: A Chevalier, in all literally means. He is easily adaptable to working environments. He likes to be called "The Boss"
Ziad: Head of the Atelier. Calm and deeply thoughtful. Friendly, but don't be a wise guy when he's around.
Me-Rhizometct: I can't define myself of course. But What the staff unanimously speak about me:
Providential are those who work with rhizometect, for a two month work with him is aggrandized as if it was a year. We never get tedious from him around.
Roland: To graduate as an architect on the coming july. A dynamic person but who considers one's life amusements as equal or greater than work itself (in fact he introduced me to snowboarding).
Ghassan: He came on my last day at office. So i know nothing about him(sorry)
Jean: funny and pure hearted person. An addict to the standardized norms in architecture (most of the stuff is), but troubles himself in issues that are considered secondary and sometimes of no importance.
Also not to forget mentioning Joe, the one who shot the image. To graduate on the coming July, Joe likes to harass the staff, but it is just a matter of hours when he approaches you and confesses of his pure heartedness. So all in all, he does create a laughing atmosphere at the workplace.
