practices in order to develop an understanding of the general nature, principles and
procedure of law and legislation as applied to architectural drawings, especially the
Building by-laws. Students will also be exposed to the process of authority
submission for various drawings from an architectural practice and the range of
contract documentation produced to support these drawings.Via a full-time internship
attachment, students will further appreciate the documentation and report-writing
skills required of an employee (architectural assistant / architect) in a typical
architectâs firm.

4.0 Conclusion
All in all, I am grateful to have learned and experience the real world out there as
an assistant architect. I have learned how to produce designs in a short amount of
time and also to amend and color submission drawings and learn of UBBL
requirements and authority requirements. Besides that, budget plays a huge role in
designing as an architect in the real world because all developers want to make the
most out of their money to attract buyers. However, the design should not be
compromised to the budget and should stand out as a functional, sculptural, and
most importantly suited for the people.
