Work Experience at astudio!
“I have observed that astudio are eager to adapt in order to tackle climate issues and the changing world.”
This week, we welcomed Becki Weller to our studio, a part one student from the University of Westminster’s School of Architecture. Here’s what she thought of her week with us.
How have you found the week?
I was very excited to join astudio for a week and it has been a great experience!
The team has been really welcoming, and it has given me a great insight into astudio’s collaborative ethos. I have highly enjoyed learning about the current projects on site and in the studio, especially the Ebury Regeneration Scheme and developments for the amodular system.
What work have you been involved with during the week?
I have been supporting astudio with their Kew Gardens ‘Tree-house’ competition entry. This has been an extremely interesting project and a great chance to develop my design skills in real-life terms. The team has been really interested and supportive of my ideas. I have loved the whole experience!
Do you think that the experience in practice will affect your studies or future outlook?
During the week I have observed that astudio are eager to adapt in order to tackle climate issues and the changing world. It is also an open environment where people are not afraid to ask questions. This has given me a highly positive outlook on my future career in architecture.
What benefits do you think can be realised from working and learning in practise?
I believe the key benefit is it gives you the opportunity to engage with people with diverse skill sets and experiences. I have especially realised that it is extremely beneficial to be physically in the office environment in order to easily collaborate and learn from each other as much as possible.
