Part 2 Architectural AssistantOriginal field of architectrue
Oxford, United KingdomFull Time
Managed the design development of an extension to an Oxford college and collaborated with engineers to successfully solve co-ordination issues.
Produced successful planning applications of smaller projects; this required quickly understanding the context and constraints of a location.
Designed across all phases from conceptual design through to construction documentation. For specialist projects this meant researching and collecting information for technical specifications.
I created many renderings of concepts for clients and visionary images for competition entries. For competitions both the 3D modelling and output of images were completed within strict and limited time-frames.
I monitored cost plans and analysed tender submissions to help clients choose a suitable contractor for the construction works.
Conducted accurate surveys and produced scale drawings to begin the design process and feasibility studies.
In addition, I expanded the website and social media presence with content that celebrated OFA.
