REPORT ON PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE.
as per the changed syllabus in architecture, its quiet a new thing to write a few words on your professional practice experience.. though this is a first attempt in making one .. you guys can surely refer and get some basic idea on how to make a pp report..
kudos :)
One of the most famous designer Ayse Birsel, she is my 5th guest for my ''on the roads’’ interview series. We talked about design, her interests and her perspective on design technics. I also got some suggestions from her for you.
We live in an era where knowledge and knowledge mining are trending. Now, she has a designing and an innovation factory. Most importantly, while today and the future are based on technology,however she is focusing on human in her factory.

In this edition by Insights Success, we celebrate the ‘Business Achievers to Watch’. As with Rome, these success stories were not built in a day. They were witness to failures, self-doubts, and a lot of things that do not look like success. But let us not forget to celebrate every bit of it!
Talk at Interaction 18 - Education Summit, Lyon. It covers the ways of how we teach design through moving our classes around the city and through kinesthetic methods at MOME, University of Art and Design. Interaction and UX design is something that builds on very tangible, human practices. We tend to forget this sometimes. Thoughtful education programs, practical experiments can lead us back to a better approach to design.

Is het Nieuwe Werken een hip ingerichte, nieuw werkomgeving, met voor iedere medewerker een smartphone en/of iPad, of heeft het veel meer te maken met de werkprocessen, de cultuur van de organisatie en de gewenste identiteit en uitstraling?
Meer en meer is duidelijk dat zaken als ‘vertrouwen’ en ‘verantwoordelijkheid’ veel bepalender zijn voor het succes van een moderne organisatie dan de vraag hoe hoog de afscheiding tussen werkplekken moet zijn. Iedere organisatie is verschillend, en daarmee is iedere ‘ideale werkomgeving’ anders. Het eigentijds inrichten van een kantoor is dus veel meer dan het maken van een mooi plaatje. Het is en blijft een zoektocht naar het vinden van de juiste balans tussen aan de ene kant het aanbieden van optimale werkomstandigheden (en dus productiviteit!) en aan de andere kant het faciliteren van ontmoeten en het creëren van de juiste cultuur.
In de afgelopen vijftien jaar heeft Fokkema & Partners architecten op basis van Het Nieuwe Werken zo’n 1,2 miljoen m2 werkruimte ontworpen (onder meer voor Friesland Campina, Deloitte, Unilever, Eneco, Asics, Stedin,) en daarmee voor 70.000 mensen een HNW-werkomgeving gerealiseerd.
Wat zijn in die periode de belangrijkste leermomenten en valkuilen gebleken en wat moeten organisaties, die met HNW als werkconcept aan de slag willen, vooral wel en vooral niet doen om van HNW een succes te maken?
Practical Modeling: Making the Invisible VisibleKaarin Hoff
4 hour workshop at Information Architecture Summit 2015
Brochure Description:
A practitioners are encountering problem spaces that are more complex than ever before. Cross-channel ecosystems, huge enterprise platforms, and decentralized content delivery are just a few challenges we are having to explore, understand, and gain direction around with stakeholders, before it’s wise to dive into the particulars of interfaces. But how can we collaborate on architecture without the entanglements of design detail? Enter modeling.
Modeling allows us to work with abstraction as tangible objects; it brings physicality to language, decisions, and conceptual relationships that make up and underpin the ecosystems we work with. It allows us to analyze and collaborate more efficiently, with less effort and distraction. It is especially valuable for:
- Discovering and defining “why” we should do something and “what” we should do before jumping into “how” we should do it
- Untangling complex concepts in order to explain something to yourself
- Collaborating about (and deciding on) functional capabilities as a group prior to fussing with interfaces
- Grappling with abstract and quantitative data and their intersections
- Understanding and relating the parts of big, complex systems
- Exploring and creating semantic structures and frameworks
Now that our field has matured, and there are programs across the country that are offering degrees in design, it is much more difficult for recent graduates and people who want to transition into the field to get their foot in the door.
Not only are job listings for junior designers far and few between, but our profession has no apprenticeship model to help junior designers grow into senior designers.
UX design is a craft and we are doing our entire profession a disservice by not taking the time to hire, mentor, and bring up the next generation of designers.
The UX profession needs apprenticeship now!
Includes all the usual information as well as an introduction about me, my ideas regarding objectives for the course, details of my education and work experience.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2. Let’s be honest—as architecture students in the midst of a studio deadline, we often wonder
if the stress and sleep deprivation we are experiencing is anything like working in the “real
world.” You know what your peers and your professors have told you, but until you
experience your first internship, the experience of working in an architecture firm is a huge
mystery.
As a student, the future is full of mystery, excitement, and fear. I find myself daydreaming
in my classes about all the possibilities that my future may one day hold. Now that I am a
senior in college, that “future” is approaching rapidly! But how do I get from here to there?
An internship is the answer!
I think most students share that same fear of how to get from here to there. How do I go from
being a student to a working professional? My internship this summer eased my fears and
gave me great insight on the industry. I am confident now that my experience with OP.US
DESIGNS will make the transition smoother after graduation. I could not have envisioned a
better way to start off my career!
It was great. Those four months of internship has taught me as much as I have learnt in four
academic years. I did my internship in OPUS DESIGNS, CHEMBUR. It was a small firm
with limited number of projects. The firm serves in all allied disciplines such as landscape,
architectural design, interior design and much more which a particular project needs.
3. “Our surroundings shape us in the way we shape them. Each element is an Opus – an
artistic composition responding to a creative need within us”
OP.US Designs is a creative enterprise for design, architecture and planning. We believe
every space/ building/ wall is a creative opportunity waiting to be composed into an
aesthetic form balanced with function.
OP.US Designs completes nearly two decades of envisioning holistic designed
environments that are a response to function, context and needs of the users. We also
understand the need for variation in taste that makes every individual different, hence we
work in a collaborative setup. We strongly believe that the quality of life is influenced by
the extraordinary power of design. Thereby OP.US is a platform of opportunity for
creative minds to come together to deliver a design composition of
ARCHITECTURE INTERIORS LANDSCAPE MASTER PLANNING
4.
5. TEAM
The “.US” of OP.US is a team of enthusiastic design, landscape and construction
professionals who aims to deliver the envisioned composition. Our team of architects,
designers, project and construction managers, environmentalists, horticulturists and
contractors work as one force to produce an end result that answers the set brief.
6. EXPERIENCES
One of the hardest things during internship, is to keep an open mind and to not get too
worked up about specifics. Architecture is a profession that takes time to learn. One simply
cannot become a good architect overnight. Everyone (including myself) thinks when they
graduate, they’re ready to be an architect, but you’ve only begun to scratch the surface. .
There is SOOOO much you’ll learn in the form of day-to-day experience working in an
architecture firm. There are periods of time that I hated the things I was having to do, but
looking back now I can see that there’s a lot that I learned from those experiences. I learned
to try to keep a positive attitude about things, even when you’re not enjoying them, because
you’re probably learning something while doing it.
Deadlines
Did you really think that the last minute rush to finish a project on time would go away? As
student interns we don’t experience the same stress levels as the project leaders, but the
tension in the office is evident in the last few days before a big deadline. When deadlines
approach, the blinders go up and all focus is on meeting the deadline.
Community
We are continually told to cherish these last few years of school because of the amazing
studio culture that we have and the great friends that we make. This is very true, but
believe it or not, at OPUS the sense of community within the firm is just as evident. We
have office happy hours. We work hard, but we definitely know how important it is to have
a close knit group of people that know how to kick back and have a good time as well!
Design
While in college students are given design freedom for personal exploration and growth
which usually involves having total control over the project. We will often spend 90% of
the semester thinking about the design concept and then producing the project in the final
10% of the class. However at OPUS, careful consideration is taken to balance design
freedom with real world expectations regarding feasibility and budget. Since projects
actually get built in the firm environment, the time management switches and nearly 90%
of the time is spent executing the design.
7. Tasks
In college, students usually focus on a single building for the entire semester, conducting
research and proposing multiple design ideas. We are tasked with designing an entire
building. In studio we are responsible for designing all aspects of the project; in a firm setting,
each individual typically has an area of expertise that he or she focuses on for all projects.
Keep asking questions
Ask lot of questions. If you don’t know how to do something, try to solve it on your own first
and if you’re stuck, immediately find the right person to ask to help you solve it. This is
something I dealt with at first. When you’re the new guy, you don’t want to be the one
constantly asking questions, but if you’re taking way too long on a task because you can’t
figure it out or do it completely wrong, it will look much worse on you than for having to ask a
few dumb questions.

8. Stall and furniture design, exhibition design:
As an intern, the first job assigned to me was to design a furniture to showcase plants at the
flower exhibition and a stall layout for the same. Coming up with a product which is
excellent in simplicity and with a touch of modern look is quiet challenging. But designing
with our principle architect is always fun and a great opportunity to explore new ideas.
From finalizing the designs, to explaining the working drawings to the carpenter, the
exhibition was a great hit!
9. Execution of Bio climatic urban park model, exhibition design:
The exhibition was related to landscape and to spread awareness on planting more trees.
So our firm went ahead with a bio climatic urban park design. I was in charge of the
model making task for the exhibition. It was going to be a live small scale urban park.
Formulating the design on site was overall a new experience. It even helped in
developing up my team spirit and time management skills.
15. CONCLUSION
Architectural college does prepare students for a career in architecture, but no
experience is greater than learning and seeing firsthand how a firm is really
run. Opus designs Group does a great job in educating its student interns as well as
allowing us to learn about how the firm is run. We have the opportunity to sit in and
be a part of weekly office meetings, go on site visits, and be a part of office ‘Lunch
and Learns’. This first experience in a real office setting has had its frustrations at
times (especially with the 3ds max learning curve) but the growth and knowledge we
have gained this summer is something we will carry with us well into the future.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
I want to thank OPUS DESIGNS for giving me the opportunity to serve as an intern
at their firm.
I have gained valuable insight into the architectural industry over the past four
months.
Because you gave me the opportunity to work on a variety of projects, I had the
chance to observe numerous aspects of architecture. You and your staff were
extremely welcoming and helpful, and offered me valuable advice.
I have been extremely fortunate to have the support of all my seniors at OPUS, who
contributed in making this internship a great experience. Special thanks to AR.Gauri
Chalke and Ar.Akshay Shanbag for helping me with my dumbest doubts and guiding
through my silly errors in cad drawings.
And to my fellow trainees, without you all this internship would have been a bit
boring. Thank you all for your encouragement and support that helped me gain more
confidence and learn new software skills.
