Attending the competition will help me progress to the next stage of my career
LLM student, Jorge Velazquez, attended Moot Court on International Commercial Arbitration.
“My primary task during my time at Julian Harrap was to work on the administrative side of architectural practise – i.e., sorting and adding GA (General Arrangement) Drawings and DD (Detail Drawings) into the Project Drawing Register and creating an ‘Issue Sheet’ containing the details of all the drawings pertaining to a project before it goes into the construction stage.
After familiarising myself with Issue Sheets, I was delegated the task of annotating several floor plan drawings of the Royal Academy School – adding notes on where additional care must be taken by contractors to preserve specific historical features of the rooms.
On Monday 10th July, I was incredibly lucky to be shown around the active construction site of the Museum of London at Smithfield Market by Julian Harrap himself. A truly unforgettable experience.
Thanks to being in London, I was able to take this opportunity to also visit several exhibitions relating to the world of architecture.
1. The Serpentine Pavilion at Hyde Park – every year a different prominent international architect designs a temporary pavilion for the Serpentine Gallery. This year the theme was on creating ‘spaces for talking’ and was an incredibly interesting West-African inspired gazebo.
2. Japan House London – a permanent exhibition space for Japanese culture, I was able to see their temporary exhibition on ‘Currents in Japanese Graphic Arts’ showcasing spectacular pieces from the last 50 years.
I am hugely grateful to the Lucy Cavendish for their financial support.”
