Hello & Welcome!

If you are involved with Architecture in anyway, I’m sure that more than once you have had someone tell you that all architects do is draw pretty pictures. Because coming up with a design is almost instantaneous. 

If only it were so simple!

Design is crazy and relentless at its best; you start with one idea and somehow wind up with too many to count. You often have to go backward just to go forward and you have to consider every little aspect and justify every little decision in order to come up with something that might just cut it. 

We all know now “because it looked good” is never the right answer. 

So how do we prevent ourselves from ending up staring blankly at the tutor with no idea how or why we came up with something so random?

By understanding our design process of course! 

As part of my Design course this semester, at the Queensland University of Technology, I have been asked to keep a blog of all my design processes; the good, the bad, the ugly and the sometimes insane. 

I present to you... Archii & me...

It promises to be one hell of a ride, do feel free to critique as you please.
