Amidst the heat of the summer, we, the third year batch of 2017-2018 of Rizal
Technological University majoring in bachelor of science in architecture have
experience and complied the requirements needed for our coe1 with the help of the our
college department and school. This has given us the chance to showcase what we
have learn, understood, and internalized inside the classrooms and laboratories. The
experience given to us this year will never be forgotten for it will help us improve, grow,
and achieve for more. There may have been a lot of hurdles, challenges, or hardship,
as we may call it, but this does not stop us from acquiring this very day and we were
able to find glory in each day we have finished an eight hour duty inside the office or at
the site of the project being held. We may have differ in our experiences and learnings
during our coe1 but still it does not remove the fact that we will be able to use these
experience and learnings in the near future, may it be on an exam or at work or at an
everyday situations.
It was a fact that looking for a company that would accept our humble
qualifications was extremely hard. Some even went to certain companies but weren’t
accepted due to the number of hours we must comply, some were due to personal
qualifications while some were not just qualified enough during the interview but this
does not stop us, architecture students, to find a good firm that would accept us and
teach us the basics and importance of our chosen major. Summing it all, our efforts
were not in vain for i assume that we have found a place where we were accepted fully
for our credibility.

Arkikultura group was a company managed by architect Edward Cabrera whom
has told us that he graduated at far eastern university. He was a man of his work,
incredible at managing his own company, a generous man to his subordinates, humble
to his clients, and a good mentor to us. He let us hold some of their project despite our
raw talents, let us experience first-hand what it was like to be a full pledge architect and
considered us architects in the making believing that we will be able to graduate and be
successful.
Yes, i and another four of my classmates were humbly accepted in Arkikultura
group for a one-hundred and twenty hours of experience this summer for the
compliance of coe1. It has been a great pleasure working with intelligent architects for
we have been granted the pleasure to detail some of their very own projects. Some of
the architects, architect Jeff and architect Albert were graduates of Rizal technological
university. They have been very accommodating and friendly towards us and treated us
like we were their colleagues. We were not treated like a baby that needed supervision,
instead, we were treated like actual junior architects that needed to know more about
this kind of field. They taught us things concerning the structural alignments of a
residential house and even brought us to one of their grandest project’s site. They let us
experience what will happen to us after graduation, what kind of work we will be doing,
what kind of environment we will be dealing and what kind of field we will be going. It
was fun and knowledgeable at the same time despite the rain hindering us to do more
inside the site at the very least we were taught to measure rooms and details of how
they were constructed.

The five of us we always given a task to fulfill each day. We divide these task to
five so all of us will be able to work and experience the job we might take. There may
have been some faults on our job but the architects at the arkikultura group were nice
enough to tell us what we should have done and what we should do for us not to
commit the same mistakes on other projects. Despite the tasks complications we were
able to finish them in the allotted time and were able to meet their standards on this job,
our details were even used for their project permit and maybe, just maybe, there may
have some revisions but hopefully our creations will be used to their on-site project.
The tasks that were given to us were detailing the sanitation or plumbing of
residential houses, electrical detailing such the light patterns on their ceilings, the
connections of wires and the computations of the electricity consumption, the structural
alignment of the projects, the details of how the roof was constructed and even the
walls, columns, and footings. Of course, it was overwhelming at first because we were
never fast at detailing during regular semester but we just got used to it after doing it
several times inside the office. It was frightening at first because people’s lives depends
on the success of the details that we have done but over time, we managed to
understand how detailing actually works and were a little bit confident with our acquired
skills. Unfortunately, one-hundred twenty hours was not enough for us to acquire more
skills at the office but we understood that new signed order of the president of our
school must have something to benefit us even more because why would he sign it if
not for our good?

If given another chance, which is coe2 for sure, i would like to once again
experience this kind of learning may it be on the same company or not. I know that the
five of us were lucky enough to be given these kinds of task wherein we were the actual
architects of the projects of the company. I hope that another kind of this chance comes
knocking on our humble door, we would be more than willing and happy to open that
opportunity.
This experience honed our skills, talents, and knowledge for us to be able to step
forward another chapter towards our dream of being architects. The knowledge
pertaining detailing is one of the most important lesson we must internalize for this will
ensure the safety of the future occupants of the project we will be handling in which the
Arkikultura group did NOT fail to teach us. They gave us all what we must know about
structural, electrical, and plumbing detailing.
They also taught us some techniques in rendering 3d plans in the software V-
RAY. We expect to learn more if given the chance to enhance our rendering skills so
that we can use it on our future thesis and projects.
Despite having only 120 hours it was a big honor for us to handle real projects at
an early age. We were truly lucky to have been able to do this in Arkikultura Group and
we will always be grateful for the opportunity given to us. Having to experience the
projects with our own hands will be engraved in our mind so that we will always be
reminded of what we thrive for, being an architect.

So despite the blazing heat of the summer this year 2018, the five of us coming
from Rizal technological university, had fun and learn a lot that we could use for sure
this coming semester a.y. 2018-2019. Hopefully, all the detailing we have done will
apply to the major subjects we will be taking this a.y. And with the knowledge and skills
we have acquired, just like what we wrote on our curriculum vitae on what we aim from
their company and for ourselves, we will be stepping towards one more year of our
future success, the fourth year batch 2018-2019 of Bachelor of Science in architecture.
