The Norwich office was pleased to welcome a group of second year architecture students from Norwich University of the Arts for a ‘taster day’ to find out more about life as an architect. NUA’s brief for the visit was to help the students understand the role of the architect in the wider design team, and to illustrate with real life examples some of the areas of practice that are not usually addressed in an educational context. Winning work, calculating fees, planning applications, BIM modelling, running jobs on site and CDM were all on the agenda. The day was coordinated by Matthew Wood with contributions from David Drew, Farrow and Kean and Neil Temple.
