Architectural Drawings: Producing floor plans, elevations, sections, and axonometric drawings. Creating digital models using software to explore form, structure, and spatial relationships. Discussing design proposals, revisions, and project goals.

I gained valuable insight into the day-to-day operations of an architectural studio, including project management, client communication, and design development processes and a variety of personal benefit to be more self confident in what I’m doing.
