EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND ABOUT ME

I am an aspiring Architectural Technologist through my experience, and knowledge this encourages me to go as far as I can with a career in Architecture. Born in Nigeria, Lagos and growing up in Calgary, Alberta. My design background throughout secondary school influenced me in taking a path through SAIT as an Architectural Technologist. Through SAIT I was able to connect with what I learned such as building sciences, architectural design, documentation, and technical software.

SEMESTER 1

SOUTHERN ALBERTA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY – ARCHITECTURAL TECHNOLOGIES

SEPTEMBER 2022 – APRIL 2024

CALGARY, ALBERTA

SUMMARY – SEMESTER 1

For my first semester at SAIT, I was able to get a strong grasp of AutoCAD, and Sketchup software. Both being useful to my design process as a technologist.

Designing a single detached single dwelling structure also made me revitalize my process when it comes to working with a client. Also making sure everything within my building is up to Bylaws early so that the client will be satisfied. Overall, first semester was a strong first steppingstone.

CALGARY, ALBERTA

SUMMARY –SEMESTER 2

With my second semester at SAIT, I was able to go into deeper investigation to a larger building footprint. Allowing me to have experience with working on a Mixed-Use building. Mixed-Use, and commercial being the project types of interest for my career.

I also began to master Revit as a software being the primary software for my 2nd semester project. Another key focus with this project is taking the building code to much more consideration.

SUMMARY –SEMESTER 3

The third semester was integral to my journey of becoming an architectural technologist. This semester I was able to master Revit it came to going through all the levels of design. I also understood all the technicalities of Revit to a much better capacity.

Developing a commercial building made me understand about thinking about all avenues when it came to the building code. I want to make sure my building was well suited to the characteristics of the environment opting for wide curtain wall, and glazing structures.

CALGARY, ALBERTA

SUMMARY – SEMESTER 4

The fourth semester was integral to my journey of becoming an architectural technologist. This is due to being able to showcase my mastery of all the disciplines and skillsets I have used in my previous semesters. Since this building is under a CC-X project type which allowed me to further my knowledge in project towards more centralized urban areas. We also made strong endeavors when it came to our more technical focused drawings. Offering 3D details, section details, plan details, and wall sections. There was also a greater emphasis on building code which strengthen my understanding.
