Wow!!
What an amazing two weeks. The multi grade project in Elgin was an eventful experience. Credit to all the lecturers, supervisors and students that took part. I've experienced team building to the tenth degree-building structures and working as a collective, hence "team building". Sure there were times when students were at each other, some frustrated, others tired and over worked, some not communicating well or not understanding the task at hand but we overcame those obstacles and got the job done. And I have to say that there was more encouragement than discouragement. What we produced this week was the result of the learning that took place in the office over the last nine months, the knowledge that was gained in 1st year, and our peers for making this achievement an unforgettable one. What we've learnt might not only be theological- concerning Architecture and the built environment but life lessons too. Ones that were taught through action and not words. And by doing, we achieve so much more. We build futures, we realise dreams, we create hope and possibilities by providing a simple, positive change which improves our surroundings and environment. This altars the way we think, the way we choose to experience a space - the way forward. I am happy knowing that as children ourselves, we have the power, the means and the resources to enrich the lives of children less fortunate than ourselves with a space through which positive, creative and active learning can take place.
Good job guys!
Now for the final home stretch!!
