Percy
Thomas Architects, Cardiff, Wales: Whilst learning Microstation
I quickly settled into the education department design team working on
The Kensington Academy, a 8000msq. environmentally sensitive
secondary school in Liverpool. As the project entered detail design stage
when I arrived, my job was to draw and co-ordinate the general assembly
diagrams with the detail diagrams, solving design problems as they arose.
Further to this I arranged and chaired meetings with manufactures, organized
the tender issue and cross referenced the design with building regulations
among other tasks. |

During
my involvement with The Greenwich Academy in London at
the concept design stage I constructed the presentation model used to
bid for the job. |

During
my employment I am registered with the RIBA assessment scheme to ensure
I learn the required skills. I also attend regular Continued Development
Courses on professional practice. |
