ISAAC CHOUKROUN Visión Arquitectónica – Mexico City, Mexico – summer 2014 Position: Entry-Level Intern As an architectural intern, I was working professionally in the field of architecture at the Mexican firm Vision Arquitectonica. Vision Arquitectonica is a firm that uses the experienced gathered by its members to develop a wide range of projects, from residential to retail or mixed-use development. During the summer break, I wanted to connect my studies at the Boston Architectural College to real applications like the ones practiced at the workplace of an architectural firm. In the internship I was able to further develop the design skills I had learn and tune them to a more practical way of using them at the workplace. Engaging in hands-on practice did this.
Practicum Learning Objectives: In completing this Practicum, I intend to learn the ways that I can connect all of the knowledge that I have acquired through the BAC and into the practical work situations of the real world. I also intend to learn other ways that I can enhance my learning experience in the BAC while taking advantage of the practice opportunities. My goal is to connect my learning experience acquired through school, and ultimately link it with actual practice experience by generating empirical knowledge of the workplace. Throughout this internship experience, I will be able to generate a new understanding of how an actual workplace functions. I will also be able to recognize how a real architecture firm practices, as well as retrieve empirical experience to back up my learning. I will be able to interpret different work situations and respond adequately. I will be able to exemplify my work to my coworkers effectively and illustrate my ideas through visuals. I will be able to learn organization ideas from my coworkers and I will also be able to integrate my work-flow to theirs. After reflecting on all these past experiences in my life, I begin to identify different ways in which my knowledge has evolved, since looking back and analyzing my experiences allowed me to see things I didn’t before. By monitoring all my learning experiences and all my involvement in the firm, I will be able to ultimately become a better designer.
My jobs within the firm: • • •
Architectural Rendering Client: Feedback and Project Adaptations Site: Project Supervision
Practicum Experience The architectural firm Vision Arquitectonica is located in Polanco, a small neighborhood by the northern parts of Mexico City. It is a neighborhood with strict zoning regulations that limit the size and number of units being built within this neighborhood. It is one of the very first parts of the city that begun gentrifying and in consequence it turned into one of the neighborhoods with the most expensive land prices in the city. The offices of the firm are located in Polanco were most of their projects are done, this was indeed very convenient for me since the project sites could be reached within minutes of walking, this made it very easy to have a close contact with what was happening in the actual construction site.
Experiential Learning Process While engaging one on one with actual design practitioners in this firm I was able to look at the design process from a very fresh perspective. Being part of the day-to-day activities that revolve around an architecture firm helped me greatly form a correct picture of what it means to develop a working concept of a residential project. I also learned how important is for architects to interact with their clients in order to produce concise material of their client´s demands. During my first days in the time I spent on this firm I was exposed to many situations where the designers had to present the project to the clients. When I saw the way that people react to your professional opinion I learned that being an architect comes with having very good interrelation skills; I found that this is extremely important in order to establish your point of view simply and correctly within your client´s mind. By learning a basic set of skills during the foundation year in the BAC, I was able to generate a good set of problem-solving techniques which I had to use in order to communicate my ideas to the other designers within the firm. These skills involved different thinking strategies and design processes that I learned to practice during my studio classes, by organizing my thought and applying a good work flow it helped me show and understand my potential as an emerging designer. By presenting my employers visual graphics of how my design process worked, they were able to understand the flow of my design process step by step while visually representing how I reached my conclusion. *All pictures courtesy of the firm
Architectural Rendering During my internship at Vision Arquitectonica, I was lucky enough to be working with one of the most talented designers I’ve ever studied under. Oscar’s renderings are among the best in Mexico, winning him a national rendering competition. Thanks to the opportunity of practicing in an office next to somebody of his skill level, I was able to learn from his vast experience. We would approach the work through an iterative process, assessing each design with him critiquing my progress. This way he was able to give me thorough advice and by instructing me in different techniques, I accomplished delivering a finished graphic used for the residential project the firm was involved in at the time of my internship. Oscar started out by teaching me from the very base of how to use Photoshop. He began explaining to me that the image you create can only go as far as your vision of the space you are rendering, so in order to achieve a truly realistic picture, you need to understand all the different aspects of the space.
When rendering the first unit visuals for the clients to see, he told me to start by creating a 3d abstract model of the rooms with not too much detail. I did as he asked and from the Rhinoceros file I started creating 2D graphics that I can later use as a base for the render. He taught me his skills through an iterative process where he watched closely what kind of techniques I used to achieve things like lightning and adding furniture to the space, this way he was able to give me feedback and tips on how to do what I wanted to do. During my time with Oscar, I first came with the very basic elements that I learned in school on how to render. Thanks to Oscar, I was able to advance my learning into learning different procedures and forming new concepts on how to apply my already known abilities, this also led me to develop new ways of working with my renderings by combining my old factual knowledge with that newly acquired concepts.
In this render that I worked on for this project, I drastically improved my skills by learning new techniques for applying realistic shadows. Oscar explained to me that shadows filter into their environment the further back it gets from its subject. He also showed me how perspective works in the images we just created, this is important for understanding how the shadow hits the faces of the walls. Recognizing the importance of shadow also must include the sunlight involved in the picture. Brightening the spots that are hit by that light helps with the little details that form a realistic rendering.
On this render I had to work a little harder for achieving a realistic state. This picture needed a little more work on the materials used for the textures, I learned how important it is to choose a good combination of textures and furniture that are going to give the apartment that modern feeling. Oscar showed me that in order to generate realistic environments, you need to fix all the very subtle details like the light that is reflected on the glass windows.
This other example helped me practice with the texture placing and strengthen my technique gained from Oscar. A new thing I learned though was the importance of perspective and change in size that happens to the scale figures. Forming a correct perspective plane will help generate that realistic “photograph effect”. *All pictures courtesy of the firm
Oscar’s renderings: During my Photoshop class in the BAC, I learned about the different effects you can achieve by working with the color levels of a picture. You can achieve warmer effects by using brighter colors like yellow and red while getting a colder setting by using colors of the blue spectrum. I never had the chance to apply these techniques with school assignments but in these renderings that Oscar helped me finish up I had the chance to understand how it works. By applying light effects in the ceiling and just a tint of yellow in the corner of the picture you can very easily give the picture a feeling of a nice evening with the fireplace’s warmth spreading around the room. By doing different renders of the same room but at distinct times of the day you provide the clients with a real depiction of how a day looks like in this unit. With all this new knowledge that I gained from Oscar I will be able to provide with better renderings and assemble a better work flow when approaching my projects.
Client: Feedback and Project Adaptations Another job I had was a great opportunity that emerged because I happened to be there at the right time at the right place. One of the projects we were working on was already in the construction phase and since some of the apartment units were already sold to clients, they started to get more involved and they began adapting the original design of the units. In another case from the same project we originally decided on turning the top floors into penthouses as in units with two floors. As we progressed on the projects development and the circumstances changed we figured it would be better to maximize the total units. This gave me a chance to enter the project and I had the task of redesigning the layout of the units to fit the new deliverables.
though I wasn’t able to contribute much I learned that the client has a lot of power on the design of the units. Most of the times the firm works with residential projects and they design the building before selling it to the clients, but if someone buys a unit before the project is finished there is still a chance to make a few adaptations of their liking. In this meetings the architect has to have a very clear and complete knowledge of the project in order to approach the client on what changes can be made and which can’t. I learned that you need to be very aware of all the departments that are working at the same time to make this possible while dealing with the client in person. This is crucial since without that knowledge, the architect can start making changes without concerning for what is already built or how much real work is involved in these adaptations. Needless to say, I learned that it’s very difficult indeed to make all these calculations as an architect directly dealing with a client.
I must say that I feel very lucky finding a small firm like Vision Arquitectonica since it made it very easy for me to do so many things. One thing I was grateful to have the chance of doing is joining the architect when he was talking to the client, even

SUE-ARQ-001 Archivo: Ubicacion de Archivo:
Unit renderings: When approaching the redesign process of the units, I recognized the assignment since it was very similar to the iterative process that architecture students usually go through in a studio project. I learned to classify the needed amenities for the unit and in that way provide a correct arrangement of the units that will satisfy both clients’ criteria. Recognizing the relevance of each space is very important in order to give the spaces the correct dimensions. By determining the importance of each space you can select and integrate these spaces within themselves in a way that they work together. Thanks to the very capable group of coworkers I was lucky to be with, I learned many of their ways and approaches to this design challenge. By experiencing the workplace first-hand I absorbed a lot of the processes and knowledge that my coworkers naturally flow with. Also, by sending a lot of time in the project’s site, I was at some level able to judge the choices made that will affect the client, by analyzing the site’s surroundings and the already built environment. *All pictures courtesy of the firm
Site: Project Supervision Having the ability to both work in the office workspace and being able to go see on site the direct results of whatever we sent out gave me a very good chance of evaluating and analyzing the way am architectural project is actually made. Eventually I joined the site’s supervisor and he taught me the basics of keeping up with the projects time-line and schedule, thanks to this I had the chance to spend a lot of time around the site and learning how to deal with issues that come up as the project gets finished. When I was in the construction site of the building the very first things that I learned was that no one anywhere in the world likes having a building being made next to their house. Out of the many things I learned to do during this time, knowing how to deal with people was the most important of all. I liked spending most of the day at work around the site because that’s where I felt that there was the most to be learned, and also because this way I learned how to talk to the neighbors when something goes wrong and someone has to do something about that concrete that was spilled on their lawn. I also had the chance to meet in person with all the kinds of people that are involved in construction, like the electricians and plumbers that were able to give me guidance when I was asked to check that the plumbing and electric systems were being placed correctly as the plans show. Other people like the site supervisor were able to answer many of the questions and curiosities that I’ve always had about how to go about erecting a building, all the little details from how to properly organize the workers and their jobs to carrying out tasks on schedule while dealing with emerging problems along the way.
During my experience in the site, I worked around different little jobs that I could get my hands on. One of them was checking on the workers and making sure they follower the plans when assembling the steel reinforcement for the floors or the placement of the electric systems. This included checking that everything was on place and in order before the casting of the floors began. I learned all these procedures while carrying them out for the first time and this meant I had to integrate myself into the work these workers were doing in order to check and correct their work. I had to ask for lots of clarifications but thankfully the workers helped me read the plans sometimes when I didn’t understand something, they even corrected me in a few cases that I missed the counting on the steel footing. I mostly learned how to read a real architectural plan in the real construction site. This included me identifying real object depicted in these plans and sometimes predicting the use of different spaces. I recognized most of the symbology from the plans I worked on during school but here I learned the true differentiation of how a building is depicted in the plan and how it’s actually being built.
Quantification of Materials I remember the first day I came into the office, I talked with my employer about the different ways colleges and architecture schools today approach the way they educate the students within the practice field. We discussed the contrast between the American and Mexican school systems and the lack of structural and engineering knowledge that architects possess upon graduation. He explained to me that the majority of this knowledge is acquired through multiple hours of experience and first-hand involvement with the construction of a building. Basing off that notion, my boss decided it would be very good for me to start off by participating with the quantification team, in charge of knowing the exact amount of materials that are going to be needed in order to construct the building. The team showed me the basic foundation of the approach they take to correctly do so in order to stay inside the project’s budget, after learning the math and helping with a few calculations for the apartment building. This whole process was made a whole lot easier thanks to the fact that I could go visit the site anytime I wanted, this helped a lot in the way that my coworkers could very easily show me how their calculations worked and why. By checking in person how the project develops I can visually relate to all the thought put in by so many minds, this makes it clear how step by step everything is meant to work together complementing all phases of the construction.
Learning the basic tools that the architects and designers use to reach a concept helped me from my own design thought process, which I used in order to coherently reach decisions. If I were to contrast my learning experience to Kolb’s model of the learning cycle, I would say that I started my first day in the firm with the concrete experience obtained from the Boston Architectural College. After making observations and reflections about my daily experiences in the firm, I reflected on how the learning experience is actually translated into real practical work and differentiating to my experience in the BAC as a student. By reflecting on abstract concepts which I created through visualizing the work of the other employees and assembling my own new formed concepts into an efficient project work flow, I can make my own interpretation of how to practice in the working place. When the time came to actually put to test my ideas, I didn’t have the method perfectly down, but with help and guidance provided from my co-workers I was able to successfully join the project during the design development phase and generate my own work; this helped me to concretely complete the Kolb’s cycle with “Concrete Experience” and ultimately I formed a more complete learning experience of how to work around professionals in a real project.

Further Reflections The first day that I came to the Boston Architectural College (BAC) became the very first day in my life that I would enter the design world. Before starting architecture I transferred from an engineering program that had me in a notion of perceiving the world, with no experience in visual representation or any kind of design whatsoever. I immediately became aware of the vastness of the design field within the first few weeks. I came to the BAC originally to study in the Bachelor of Architecture program, but as I immersed into the many faces of the design field, I slowly began to get a better idea of how the big picture really looked like. Eventually I became aware of how limited we are as designers in finding solutions to problems and how difficult it really is while treating with things as big as buildings. Being exposed to all these new concepts and ideas made me realize the seriousness of our situation as human beings in this world and how a truly sustainable design is urgently needed to effectively sustain ourselves as species. Thanks to the Sustainable Design Program at the BAC, I was able to position myself in an area of design where I actually feel like my work can make a difference not only in the human and architectural scale, but also at the scale of our environment as a whole. I feel like this experience affected my learning not only in my newly acquired concepts and procedures but also at the level of my own subconscious. I realized that our meta-cognitive processes are what make our brains individual to every other brain since we all have different ways in which we practice them. Understanding the way we our brains approach our meta-cognitive processes is a very important part to reaching our true potential and have better results in our work. Understanding our meta-cognitive process lies largely on being conscious about the things we know and the things we don’t, there is a great advantage to accepting and understanding the limits of our knowledge.
When working in a real project that produces results in the real world it is our duty to approach our work with a very conscious mindset, since these are projects that are going to affect our client’s life fully in the way they go about their activities in the spaces that we create. The problem with having a bad comprehension of our abilities as designers can lead to a bad judgment when it comes to making important decisions. A bad comprehension of your meta-cognitive processes can lead you to not noticing your own confusion in the matter and drive you to make a mistake without you even knowing it, recognizing between the appropriate time to take a good initiative that will give you the results you expect and the initiative that will ruin your client’s life is crucial for you and your design team too. In addition to having a good understanding of your identity and who you are as a designer, meta-cognition can have important effects in your character and personality as to how you approach design problems too. For example, a good comprehension of yourself will result in you approaching a task with the correct attitude depending on how important it is. When I’m given a significant role in a project I can employ these types of meta-cognitive strategies to aid me in focusing my attention and energy in the things that I recognize as most important, depending on the project and context, this allows me to find meaning in the things that matter and to make adjustments as problems arise. By applying these learning approaches to my everyday routine, I feel like eventually my mindset will change and I will be able to develop my cognitive skills effectively through practice. These principles are meant to ultimately contribute to my learning and help me see more clearly the way my thought processes work and how I can then use them to my advantage. By becoming consciously aware of these actions that I take I cannot only use them in my own benefit, but I can also use them to help me share my own ideas and concepts to others more freely and efficiently.

ABSTRACT KNOWLEDGE
Procedural
Meta-cognitive
Architectural Rendering:
Architectural Rendering:
-Oscar’s monitoring of my work. Detecting errors along the iterative process. -Oscar’s correction and judging of my work. -My own evaluation of my work flow and how it progressed. -My own Photoshop criteria and choosing the appropriate procedures. -Selection of correct textures and appropriate furniture for renderings.
My previous understanding of Photoshop was a very basic one covering only the fundamentals of how to use it, from the tools to the different preferences. Reflecting back to the way I used to approach renders before makes me realize that I have developed a whole new work-flow to my design process. Thanks to Oscar and his guidance, I was able figure out new techniques for achieving more realistic pictures while practicing my old techniques as well.
Client:
Client:
-Coordination between my coworkers and carrying out the task. -Critiquing my design proposals through an iterative process. -Judgment of my employer to pass my design proposal. -Knowledge of Auto-CAD improved and detecting better techniques. -Implementation of my design skills to generate a proposal and exemplifying it in graphics.
I used to approach my designs with a completely egotistic mindset were I believed that only the architect can really know what is best for a space. I now come to realize how wrong that was, completely forgetting the individuality of each person. Experiencing a workplace like the one in Vision Arquitectonica gave me the chance to generate clear ideas of how experts deal with clients and work around their clarifications.
Site: -Coordination of workers to reach construction on schedule. -Monitoring the construction site in order to check correctly for any errors during the construction. -Testing of the construction materials and drawings. -Judgment when dealing with schedule conflicts. -Correct integration between the different workers (plumbing, electricity, sewage, etc) for a coherence within the projects work flow.
Site: Throughout the time I spent in the construction site I was able to absorb a lot of knowledge from the various people working on so many different things. This is an understanding that I think was very important for me, this is because it led me to different realizations about how plans are actually carried out and the different communication issues that might emerge. All these concepts I generated serve me as a basis to approach my design with a more holistic mindset, taking into account all these aspects that complete a project successfully.
