Work experience at Smith & Newton Architects

'I was able to find out the life of an architect, working on multiple projects. I found out that being an architect doesn't mean sitting in an office all day, but also visiting sites and analysing them to provide the best service.
Don't be shy to ask questions and make sure you keep asking questions. Try to make friends with the colleagues and keep close to your supervisor so they get to know you better.'
