Despite the weather, and getting lost due to detours, the trip to Atlanta was helpful in seeing the design field outside of a school setting. It was interesting to see all the different things that the firms were working on. It also helped me get a better understanding of the way design firms work. In school we work on every aspect of a project from start to finish, and though it is a good way for us to become well-rounded, it doesn't necessarily work that way. It is encouraging to see that, as we can work in the areas that we are strongest in. If we aren't the best at rendering, then we probably wouldn't be working on that part of the project. It was also nice to see that the offices look a lot like our studios and aren't nice and tidy, and shows that people are really involved in their work. Although there is a lot of learn outside of school, I believe that we are well-prepared for what we will be introduced to in the working field (minus not being exposed to Revit EVER!).
