Where Are They Now? - Eddie Mee - Architectural Technology


Guest blog post written by Eddie Mee, a TRC Graphic Communication student 2012-14, now nearing the end of the first year of his courseWhilst at TRC Eddie was part of the winning team for Forgotten Spaces Young Creatives 2013 with Sheffield Hallam University and RiBA.
University: Leeds Met
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.
