I have not posted in a while because I have been VERY busy. As you know, I love building little houses. However, recently my day job as a corporate environmental lawyer just has not been cutting it or making me happy. Because of this, two months ago I quit my job and enrolled to study architecture at university. Im really poor now, but Im happy!
Below are some pictures of our first major project. The purpose of the assignment was to teach us about structural framing. It was a bit of a challenge to build a whole house from technical plans (as opposed to dollhouses where walls are solid) but it was fun.
These are some projects from our first year design subject, so much balsa wood!
Look forward to some more miniatures which will (hopefully) now be better informed and more interesting thanks to all the new skills I will be picking up!
Can't wait to see the results of your newly acquired skills, great move!
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your new venture, it sounds like you are doing what makes you happy :)
ReplyDeleteWow, that's very brave! Hope you can still find time for miniatures, though. But I agree that it sounds like it makes you much happier!
ReplyDeleteI guess this is a perfect example of life imitating art! :D Congratulations for taking steps in your own life towards a new and fulfilling career. It was a Brave move on your part, but internal happiness is often worth the risk.

ReplyDeleteI applaud you for taking such a brave step to change your life. Good to hear this is making you happy! Your subjects seem like fun, love the photos!
ReplyDeleteBonne chance et beaucoup de plaisir dans vos nouvelles études ;-)
ReplyDeleteI've always wished I had chosen architecture but my maths isn't good enough at the higher levels - I am looking forward to seeing your architectural skills translated into miniatures.
