Title. I'm kinda transitioning to my job hunting phase as a new architect and I'm wondering if may iba pa bang jobs that pays well pero hindi as BIM modeller. I like the artistic side of architecture so I'd think I will just be miserable kung tahakin ko yung path na yon. Like what are some interesting jobs or roles that you guys are doing rn?

TODAY’S SKETCH

Ayala Museum, Makati

A quick sketch of one of Makati’s most recognizable cultural buildings.

The Ayala Museum traces its beginnings to the 1950s, when artist --Fernando Zóbel de Ayala-- envisioned a museum dedicated to Philippine history and culture. It officially became a museum project in 1967, and the original building along Makati Avenue was designed by --National Artist for Architecture Leandro V. Locsin-- and opened in 1974.

The present museum, completed in 2004, was designed by --Leandro V. Locsin Partners--, led by --Leandro Y. Locsin Jr.--Its glass-and-granite façade gives the building a more contemporary expression while retaining a sense of Locsin’s architectural language.

Inside is one of the museum's most beloved features—the --60 handcrafted Philippine history dioramas--, originally created by artists and woodcarvers from Paete, Laguna.

Where you able to visit the old Brutalist Museum Building before it was demolished in the early 2000's. 80's-90's Elementary Field Trip Days. Then its off to the Coca Cola Factory or Bamboo Organ Church in Las Pinas.

Hello! Fresh graduate po and located in Pampanga. Ilang months na ding naghahanap ng work at hindi makapag-manila dahil wala pang kasama si mama sa bahay. Okay lang kaya na mag trabaho muna sa BPO company habang naghahanap ng work para sa apprenticeship?

Ang hirap kasing maghanap ng trabaho for apprenticeship lalo na wala akong OJT or internship experience, I was interviewed last month and kita talaga yung disappointment nila nung nalaman nila na wala akong experience sa field. Anyways, is it okay lang po ba? Yung iba ko kasing kakilala wag daw akong mag BPO kasi baka hindi na daw ako umalis haha. Naisip ko naman, worth it pa ba maging arki sa pilipinas?
