BIDII YETU!!

Hello helloooooo!!!!
I hope y'all are well. This post is one which has been very much requested by some of my readers who are curious about what goes on in Architecture studios. I'm not really sure how much is out there but today I have chosen to do my communication via a number of photos which I took today. (The 5th Annual Eastern Africa exhibition & workshop is going on this week in our studios)
'Bidii yetu' is a Swahili phrase meaning 'our hard work'. Given how much effort architecture students put into their work, I thought that this is a rather appropriate title.
Basically first year is where we get to explore art. We work with different shades of pencils, pastels, coloured pencils and water colours. Model making is also involved. As we progress,we then get into serious design of structures presenting different plans, elevations and sections on paper.
































The photos are quite many, I know. However this is just a sample. There is much more creativity where this came from.
I sure hope you now have at least a slight idea about what we do.
Enjoy your evening guys!
