DAY 1 | RODE Architects | Baha
I kicked off my day meeting my awesome BAC buddies, Minerva Gonzalez and Qiaoer Tan. We dived right into the world of RODE Architects, and let me tell you, Mondays there are no ordinary Mondays. The week starts with this super cool standup report, everyone gathered in a big circle, oozing positivity, and pumped-up energy. So, after we've soaked up the week's updates and discussed what's cooking in the office, we make our grand entrance. Yep, we introduced ourselves to the whole team. Settling into our desk space, we're greeted by Anna Arnot, sustainability guru, Ben Bruce, the urban planner, and Ruthie Kuhlman. They're not just builders; they're mentors. They give us the lowdown on our weekly gig and chat with us like old pals, answering all our questions.
Lunchtime rolls around, and Amanda Dexter, Caroline Jones, and Zoe Wong took us to a cozy corner restaurant in South End.
We got to pick their brains, and let me tell you, it's like a casual brainstorm session with the coolest minds in the game.
Back in the office post-lunch, it's time for some behind-the-scenes action. We're given the keys to the project kingdom, and boy, it's like having backstage passes to a concert. We're diving into projects headfirst, exploring every nook and cranny.
Hold on tight because the day's not over. We're not just chilling; we're diving into an almost passive affordable housing project with the architectural dream team, Ben Wan and Katya Stassen. We're talking challenges, we're talking permits, and we're talking about some jaw-dropping moments on the site. And then, BAM!, they hit us with this incredible presentation that leaves us absolutely floored.
As the day wraps up, we're still buzzing with excitement, doing some more exploring. Yeah, it's a day in the life, but let me tell you, it's not your average day. It's like being on a whirlwind adventure through the world of architecture, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
