Graduate case studies
Even though many of our graduates will have progressed in their careers since completing a case study, they are still of interest to students who wish to gain an understanding of the world of work.
My main responsibilities include conceptualising, designing and planning both in architectural and interior design projects. Drafting all working drawings along with interior design details is a part of my job.
- Getting drawings completed on time and interacting with their associated consultants or vendors
- Selection of materials ( Not everyday )
- Client meetings ( Not everyday )
- Regular site visits ( Not everyday )
- Estimate preparation ( Not everyday )
I love the fact that I can do something new everyday and being a creative field, there is no such thing as monotonous.
The practicality of work differs a lot from the theory part of it and hence each day is a new learning curve. Also, since many agencies work in tandem, good managerial skills are required. Site visits can sometimes be physically taxing.
I have always wanted to become an architect. My love and intrigue for the design of spaces and buildings made architecture as my obvious choice for my profession.
B-Arch, MSc in Sustainable Architecture Studies, Indian Green Building Council ( IGBC ) Accredited Professional
Software skills: Auto-CAD, Autodesk Revit, Autodesk Vasari, Climate Consultant, Google Sketch-Up, MS Office
2 years of practical work experience and still continuing along with about 6 months of time out.
I want to continue working as an architect along with starting a few personal projects as well. I might either pursue a PhD or start with my own firm later.
Persistence pays! Just keep at it! Keep alive your passion for this wonderful field of architecture.
Enjoy The University of Sheffield! You will miss it when you leave! Good luck!
