Hello, it is my pleasure to listen your advice in this essay.
"Gap year" is the scary word for a final student in High School.
It is familiar to students who delay entering collage because they have to work to cover living costs and tuition fees. But for me, a gap year is more than that. Throughout the gap year, I decided to actively volunteer, work in 3 companies, learn a new language, and prepare to apply to my dream collage.
Many factors decide a gap year. The biggest problem is confusion about choosing architecture or civil engineering. My experience during the internship is enough for me to recognize two fields. I have a leader as an Engineer at a time our boss is a super architect. One memory I remember, my my job should be frequently revised because I should listen to their advice.
During my internship, I started to research a mix of architecture and civil engineering. At the time Indonesia was not available for the major, but I found it in Hungary with the point plus the scholarship is available. It is valuable opportunities to apply this program.
I am Safira Eka Santi and I graduated from vocational High School with a major in Modeling Design and Building Information. In three years I learned about building design, Autocad, Sketchup, estimation construction cost, and the basic of plumbing, utilities and structure. In general, my major tends to be architecture. Unfortunately, my teachers tend students to take Civil Engineering.
Nowadays I am working in 2 Contractor companies as an admin project and active as a freelance designer. I choose a contractor because I want to know more about the field and have enough knowledge of consultant design from my internship and freelance experience.
Throughout my internship, I had a simple problem when I drew an interior clinic at a big hospital in the cite. I got a 3 dimension design from my boss and I had to design the structure. At the time I should have designed a table with more than the width of the multiplex as the material. The boss asked me to do a simple shop drawing to speed up time, because the client want in timely manner. Unfortunately, my leader is the opposite, he requires me to get a detailed drawer and calculate again. Are the table legs strong enough to support the load? Can we finish in a quick time? We should be detailed for the shop drawing and get result to be readable by craftsmen.
Finally, because of the demand of the client, I attended to our boss, but I prepare to draw more detail. According to the prediction after the shop drawing by the craftsman, I should revise to draw a more detailed structure and consider again the dimension of the table leg.
That experience made me realize that when architects, civil engineers, and clients have the same perspective, miscommunication will be minimized. One solution is that the curriculum on campus should support multidisciplinary. By pursuing this program, I desire to participate in creating a curriculum on campus where students can have basic complementary majors.
In the future, I hope to educate people about design and structure through social media that I built with my intern friend. So as not to be tempted by the wonderful design of the architect. However, people can understand how design has a connection with structure and environment and influence how they have a lifestyle.
Hopefully, you can leave a comment as a advice for me, thanks a lot all.
