Exams in an Architecture programme
The clock was ticking at a pace. The heat kissing the sweat. The notes lay on my arms while I stay with my eyes half opened. Was my mind grasping which my mind read? Or was it pretending to? My eyes were ready to read but my mind was reluctant to interpret it. This is how I lay this after in a sunny April afternoon. While I was wondering I needed something to spice up my studies, my blog woke me up. Lime and salt could spice up any food. So why cant limestudioz? ;)
Every student who has managed to get into an undergraduate programme has undergone a period of 2-3 years of hard study during his Advance Level period. So after studying, memorizing, sleeping with the books etc. for 2-3 years the students get selected to a certain undergraduate programme in the university. And well, some students fortunately or unfortunately get selected to design programmes like architecture, where you have exams at the end of every semester. If it is a programme like engineering then ofcourse they are with their books throughout the year. But here are some views how exams in architecture look like. You can add up some in the comments too.
- In architecture you meddle with your models, sketches, 3D softwares etc. the whole year and you are suddenly expected to go sit an exam.
- The whole year you spend sleepless nights doing design and here you are sleeping with the book on the table.
- The whole year their are friends to help out on your design and now you are on your own to write the paper.
- The whole year you communicate with drawings and now you are expected to communicate through letters.

An architecture presentation done in Apple Keynote
Last night when I was looking for some motion graphics I came across this cool architectural presentation. It is done by Langa Architects.
Logos Hope Visit to Sri Lanka
Weather watching.... I never gave attention to this topic much. Last thursday we visited a floating bookfair which had come on a visit to Sri Lanka. It is the famous Logos Hope. Although spreading Christianity was its prime interest it had many books that suited other areas of interest too. After a few minutes of going through some of the books in the travel category (well as an architecture student it is obvious my interests have inclined to picture related books), I came across some weather guides. Some beautiful pictures of the horizon caught my eye-buds! But this guide not only was guiding about the different weathers but also had some beautiful sketches of birds and other animals which live in different climates. On a deep analysis I found out that this book had information on various climates and its effect. As it was very informative and also beautifully illustrated I bought it.
Logos Hope is a ship that carries a floating book-fair across the globe. Logos Hope provides a wider range of possibilities for visitors and guests as well as better facilities for crew and staff. You can have a look at its history and future scheddule here
