Work Experience
April – May 2010 Foster + Partners
I spent three weeks working alongside experienced modelmakers, I have learnt the level of quality a model must be made to within a certain time frame. The experience has given me the chance of working within a team, problem solving construction issues and creating a model to the highest standard. This opportunity has broadened my skill base; I have been taught how to use new tools, different machine techniques and basic electronics for lighting.
