My 20th week at Stauch and Partners Architects

In my 20th week which was from 25-29th June, I went on working on the Drainage Layouts for the five units. I drew up the drainage sections of the units and indicated the proper sloping/falling of the pipes and manholes. We also had an introduction of the new version of Archicad , "Archicad 16" at the Nice restaurant in Windhoek. It was very interesting to see what they added to the new version and how far they already are. The 3D modeling improved a lot and they also added a new tool called 'morph' tool. But the best part was the introduction was where they added the option of green building settings and the possibilities of the calculations that have to be made when making use of 'green building'. Technology just never really stops, does it? :-)

My 19th week at Stauch and Partners Architects

The week of the 18-22 June was also not too busy for me. I started working on Drainage Layouts for the five units being built in Olof Palme Street, in Windhoek. Luckily my colleague explained and discussed everything with me before hand, which made it a lot easier. I drew up five plans with the appropriate piping system on it.

My 18th week at Stauch and Partners Architects

My 18th week (11-15 June) was not too busy. I finished detailed drawings on the Keetmanshoop project and sorted out our 'library of materials and pamphlets'. We also had a new colleague from George, South Africa that joined our 'family'. :-)

My seventeeth week at Stauch and Partners Architects

My seventeenth week at Stauch and Partners Architects started quite nerv-wrecking. I pleaded that my project was handed in, at the right time, without having any problems. And it did! :-)
I had to get two more zoning certificates at the municipality, which took me a while. I added a part of a section to the Fuel pumping station of the project in Keetmanshoop. I also drew up the pump island details and added a finishes layout to the laundry of the project.
I had to improve on the signage layout of the Scania project, I've done some weeks ago. They were to be published.

My sixteenth week at Stauch and Partners Architects

My sixteenth week started on Monday and ended on Thursday. (21-24 May) Again, we had a shorter week, because of a holiday on Friday. I had to sort out a finishes layout for a project in Keetmanshoop and put the correct details into the tables. On Tuesday I corrected the ablution/bathroom layouts. I added right annotations, dimentions and redrew some of the drawings.
I also had to get five zoning certificates at the municipality.

My fifteenth week at Stauch and Partners Architects

(14-18 May) The week started off quiet. We had another holiday on Thursday the 17th, so nearly all of us took the Friday off as well. I went on with the changes on the complex with five houses. I learned alot about the construction of swimming pools and pumps.

My fourteenth week at Stauch and Partners Architects

My fourteenth week (7-11 May) I finished up the presentation. I put it all together, the renderings I did on sketchup and the written information on the program called 'Coral Draw'. The numbering and annotations I did last, took me some time.
I started making discussed changes to a project, that includes a complex of five houses. These changes were made at the garage, like windows, walls and swimming pool pumps.
