First Week

What are you most surprised by during your first week of internship and why?
So far, I am most surprised by how much architects are responsible for. It is MIND-BLOWING how much goes into blue prints and design for just a small space. Through my observations of old design plans, it seems that every single tiny screw is labeled in certain plans, along with instillation instructions. It is also surprising how many codes they have to check their work by (for example ADA, fire, etc.), it seems there are so many people all across San Diego that have to double check and regulate the plans. The process of it all seems so overwhelming!
