Career Bound

I have always been interested in fixing things and trying to make things look better; even as a kid helping my dad in construction projects was so fun. It was my father who passed the trade down to me and the ease to try to work around certain problems. I might not always have made the proper choices within the field but found myself very interested in the work. Yes, I probably did not want to get out of bed to work in carpentry or painting some days but I really enjoy restoring, bringing structures back to life, and even building new ones from scratch. I of course have not built a house just by myself or have all the knowledge and experience required in doing so, but I have worked in many of the different stages of building homes and different fields of labor within the process and I love it.

I am very hands in the field but I hope to one day be able to direct and just use my brain and ideas for it, I guess that is my American Dream; to become a very good and well known architect and home builder. I would love to render my services as a professional designer and planner of new homes, reconstructions, over sighting and coordinating my team of builders! I really would enjoy that reputation, hopefully becoming well enough to take on jobs from the government and all over the world. Architecture I believe is what fits my career profile because I do like to put everything in perspective in a sample drawing to determine what the final product will somewhat look like! I have a good imagination and try to analyze my surrounding structures; I am also very observant and creative which should help me in this career. Adding some imagination to our ideas, we can come up with extravagant and beautiful designs of our own liking;...

  • Comparing Kenneth Wingard's Career And Life

    2596 Words  | 6 Pages

    It's been kind of a full-circle life. I grew up in a craft-centric family. My mother and my grandmother both taught me how to crochet and to make rag rugs and do latch hook. All very early on. In middle school, I remember my dad built a craft room for me off our garage. I would spend every day after school and all summer long in that craft room tackling every sort of DIY. I was very arts-focused. When I went off to Princeton, I realized that I couldn't be a crafts maker for a career, and so I pursued architecture, which for me had a lot of the same principles of building, making and creating.

  • Complexity Assessment Tool Paper

    719 Words  | 2 Pages

    For instance, in circumstances where there is high uncertainty in the project management such as rapidly changing requirements, the new technology and the business model and interoperability across a complex network of the suppliers as well as the needed customers, it is vital to use the architectural tools. The work of the architectural tools is to capture, organize, and link the complex information about the organization and the supporting technology (Hass, 2009). Besides, they aid in guiding decision-making and monitoring design decision implementation and success. Additionally, the architectural tools institutionalize the standards that facilitate communication, having a common language and reference besides common work products and data. If the Copham project wants to design a complex system, they need to create the architectural views to capture the information about the operations, business systems, as well as technologies with the documented relationships between the views.

  • Systems Theory: Laszlo And Krippner (1998)

    1200 Words  | 3 Pages

    Laszlo and Krippner (1998) describe a system as “a complex of interacting components together with the relationships among them that permit the identification of a boundary-maintaining entity or process. (p. 2) Systems Theory is based on studying how individual parts of a system interact with each other to produce certain behaviors. System theory can be classified as identifying patterns and behaviors. The roots of system thinking have been in existence since the early 20th Century and have since been formally identified as such. The process of systems thinking is being able to pay attention to the whole while focusing on the complex interrelationships that make up a system to encourage the development

  • Advantages And Disadvantages Of Object Orientated Programming

    962 Words  | 2 Pages

    Within the analysis phase a set of goals are needed within the domain. From this there are three perspectives which are taken; the object model the Ronald LeRoi Burback (1998) states “dynamic model, and a functional model. The object model represents the artifacts of the system. The dynamic model represents the interaction between these artifacts represented as events, states, and transitions. The functional model represents the methods of the system from the perspective of data flow.” After the analysis phase the system design phase takes place. Here the system is sub-categorized and appointed tasks and persistent data storage is established, also within this phase the architecture is formed. Lastly the object design phase starts and is where the implementation plan is established and algorithms and object classes are also
