This morning, I got the amazing opportunity to visit an architectural firm. I went to visit Weinstein Friedlein Architects, who is based in Carrboro.They have some brilliant architectural works. I was able to meet one of the head architects of this firm, Ellen Weinstein who gladly showed me around her firm. She introduced to some of her firm's works which included models, technical plans and renderings. Showing me around her firm was an enlightening experience, as she concluded by giving me four great advices; keep on working on this blog, read Architecture Daily for everyday architecture news, and keep a sketchbook and practice with Google Sketchup. While these tasks may sound specific, they are areas where I could improve my exposure to architecture. Architecture Daily is a great resource that she introduced to me because it allows me a daily glimpse of architecture without having to search for them; they allows me to find more architecture to blog about. Sketching is a necessity because it develops the cognitive ability to visualize. While showing me around her firm, Ellen showed me renderings that were done in Google Sketch-up but later colored in to show texture displayed to me the importance of using Google Sketch up because 3D renderings using AutoCAD could be clumsy. These advices were very helpful. Thank you Weinstein Friedlein Architects!
