Hello out there. I am writing my first weblog entry ever - not sure how this whole thing is going to turn out. So what is this weblog (blog) all about? Having studied and worked as an architect for 4-5 years, I have returned to school to pursue a masters in construction management. The last couple of years have shown me how strong a disconnect there is between designers (architects) and builders (contractors). I have neither the time nor the experience to explain all the factors that contribute to this divide, but I assure you it exists.
This blog is an attempt to record my findings as an architect learning to be a construction manager. For part of my curriculum I am tasked with observing construction at a nearby project - details of which will be excluded from this blog to protect the construction company and owner. I will be posting sketches, notes, photos, thoughts and questions about what I see during the construction visits. I hope to get a better understanding of what I observe by logging it through this blog.
Since I'm getting a late start on this blog, I am going to post the photos from the last couple of weeks of site observation (we'll see how it goes as I learn how to use the blogger interface).
