Where's the horse and buggy to take me to the review?...AIA Charrette 2010






Never a better time to get involved with AIA (American Institute of Architects) than when you move to a foreign country haha :o) I was the co-chair for the AIA Student Charrette this year in London where we had ten teams of students from across the UK come together for the one day event. This is also the reason my blog took a bit of a break, so thought fitting to post it :o)


The students were given a three acre site in central London(right near British Museum) which included an old list chapel and facade that needed to be maintained, all the free printing and paper they wanted, and about 7 hours to come up with a design. The event was CAD free so they had to do everything "old school" which was fun :o)

..... the team I mentored (added helpful guidance and kept them on track) ended up winning the event too :o) I had nothing to do with the voting we brought in a team of jurors :o)
