Guest blog post written by Eddie Mee, a TRC Graphic
Communication student 2012-14, now nearing the end of the first year of his
course. Whilst at TRC Eddie was part of the
winning team for Forgotten Spaces Young Creatives 2013 with Sheffield Hallam
University and RiBA.
University: Leeds Met
Course: Architectural Technology
At TRC, I studied Graphic Communication
with a view of doing Architecture at university, after applying for both
Architecture and Architectural Technology my grades meant I got a place at
Leeds Met doing Architectural Technology. The course looks at the detail and
technical aspects of building, starting with Domestic Construction, alongside
design studios using AutoCAD and also legal frameworks module looking at legal
issues within the construction business.
The Graphics course at TRC prepared me
for the individual study and coursework side of the course (spending hours of
free time in graphics department!) as lecture and contact times is very little
and we are left to do self-study, with easy access to support when needed. Auto
CAD has been the main software but we are beinning to start Photoshop work,
made easier through the use of it at TRC.
Being an architectural technologist in
house building is one of my career aspirations, but with this course there is a
lot more I could get in to with construction so a have not decided a specific
goal as such just yet.
