I had completely abandoned this blog because I thought it was unimportant. I know now it isn't. It's just that I have a lot of them to keep up.
I have been working in my post as Architect(ural Designer) since November, and I find myself at the end point of everyone's questions and requests. I haven't really had a chance to do some true design, because most of the projects are of a refurbishment nature. Some communities already have a clear idea of what they require.
My biggest concern is the design of school environments. A lot of the schools in this island are very poorly lit, whether through a miscalculation of the amount of windows and fixtures needed for a particular sized space, or the lack of budget during construction. In any case, there must be a way to create brightly lit work area under a steep budget. One option is that translucent sheeting, but this tends to get dingy if not upkept, and is susceptible to cracking.
I am currently looking at this site to brush up on ideas.
