Internship
Abstract
A short semester of internship at the beginning of a new year was the perfect start to value of what’s coming ahead. As a student in Taylor’s university, we are trained to do projects which are marked and graded by our beloved lecturers. What lies beyond a university’s studies is a working life of an architect who works day and night to strive in this never ending growth of built environment. An architect’s life at work is very contrasting to what we do a university as everything done in office will be accounted and held responsible if anything is wrong or right. A smallest amount of error can make things go real bad, from endangering a built environment or even people’s lives. The experience I got from an intensive nine weeks of internship was extremely valuable and worth remembering.
