DETAILS ON SETTING UP YOUR LOGBOOK


Alison Mackinder

I'm at the MSA, I was told in a lecture that we had the option of going through our University, or through 'riba' maybe I am not very clued up on the matter but I recall one option costing twice as much as the other.







Could you elaborate?






Kind Regards

Hi Ben



You are quite correct. You can register through the MSA, I think the


cost is around £600 but certainly in the past that has given you 'student


status' and can be beneficial if you are paying council tax. It also


includes a couple of recall days.


Ours is for monitoring only at a cost of £175 + VAT.


So at the end of the day it's a case of what is most beneficial to you.


Regards


Alison

Competitions

Hey,

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer holiday. I was just wondering how everyone is doing with the job hunt? I'm in the process of applying but haven't had much luck yet. It would be great to get this blog going again with everyone's updates, esp those who have jobs? Also is anyone up for entering some competitions? My cousin's an architect and he said competitions are a great way to keep involved with the architectural world and obv its great for the CV too. Plus he said he would help us out by critiquing any work we do. Lemme know what you think.

love love

For those of you looking for jobs

As we discussed I think it would be a good little idea if we were to keep the blog very active in our placement year. It worked very well at the end of semester 2 and I foresee it offering us an invaluable resource for discussion when we are in practice, travelling, or looking for work. I've already started filling out my detailed diary, this should make things alot easier when it comes to filling out your PDER forms.

If your currently job hunting I friend showed me a website where you can have your work professionally bound, this offers you the chance to stand out from other graduates when going to interviews. Your degree class is only half of it, how you pre3sent yourself and come across is obviously important.

If your heading of travelling drop some photos on the blog. Be nice to see,

all the best.

This is just a draft, just deciding what to put on the page. Ive tried to keep it simple layout wise. What do you think of the order? also is it ok to only put 1 plan? and i haven't included my 1:20 slice at all...what do you think are the most important things to show?

I know it's all over, but I thought I'd upload some more work. why not:-)

Hay, if anyone plans on printing later today (if you see this), the print queue is massive already (about 6 hours on the ColourWave, I think) so it's best to come in as soon as possible! Don't wait.

...first of afew

are you guys keeping visuals on one page or combining them with details/plans? I'm thinking about maybe adding little diagrams on each sheet just to diver the eye a little????????
