My Energetic Buddies
My externship partners, Minerva and Baha from BAC, are both energetic students. Everyone actively participates in Externship activities, communicates with the staff in RODE, shares their experiences in architecture, and communicates with the people in the company. I am glad to know Minerva and Baha, who are passionate about the construction industry through participating in Externship!

A Supportive Mentor
Our mentor, Ruthie, has a strong background on Architecture and Engineering. As a registered architect in Massachusetts, she has the ability to handle projects of different sizes, and also bring some engineering background in. I am glad to have Ruthie as our mentor to explain the characteristics of each project and the details that need to be noted. Ruthie has never been stingy in sharing what she knows, and she patiently answers our questions when taking us to visit projects under construction, bringing me more knowledge that school cannot learn.
The diagram workshop of RODE is a great learning opportunity. Everyone is discussing together about how to use diagrams to make everyone's work more efficient. The project manager and the staff responsible for creating the diagram both participate and provide feedback, which is a great way to share experience and improve the efficiency of a project.

THANK YOU RODE ARCHITECTS!
Tumblr media
Our supervisor, Ruthie, is like a superhero. She made sure we got the most out of this learning adventure. We did all sorts of cool stuff and talked about designs at every step of the way. Imagine getting to join in on those creative chats!
I've got to send a big thank you to Ruthie and the whole RODE Architects crew. They gave us, the BAC students, an unbelievably awesome chance to learn and grow. I can't help but look ahead and dream about meeting them again someday. Who knows, maybe we'll team up once more?
This experience has opened up so many doors for me. It's like a bunch of new opportunities just popped up out of nowhere. I'm so grateful for this ride and can't wait to see where it takes me next!

My Supportive Buddies
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
My externship buddies, Minerva and Qiaoer, are incredibly passionate about design. Having them by my side has made the externship even more amazing. Despite being final year students, they've generously shared their design insights and experiences, enriching my learning. One thing that really stands out is how good Minerva and Qiaoer are at leading our talks with smart and interesting questions. They're great at going deep and finding important ideas during our discussions in the externship. This skill of theirs is super valuable. It's helped us understand things better as a group and has shown us new parts of design that we hadn't seen before. I’m truly grateful for their unwavering support and wanted to take a moment to express my thanks.

A Positive and Wise Mentor
A remarkable mentor assumes the role of a knowledgeable and compassionate guide, offering a blend of expertise and empathy. They provide invaluable constructive feedback, assist in setting meaningful goals, and encourage mentees to step beyond their comfort zones, all while embodying positive conduct for emulation. This mentorship dynamic thrives as a nurturing, mutual relationship, wherein the mentor imparts their wisdom and proficiency. In turn, they cultivate the mentee's personal growth, refine their skills, and instill the confidence needed to realize their aspirations.
Tumblr media
In the context of an architectural office at RODE, an exemplary mentor like Ruthie exemplifies cooperative leadership. Ruthie draws from her wealth of experience to offer wise insights, serving as a reliable compass for maneuvering through the intricacies of design challenges and project nuances. This cooperative mentorship approach creates an atmosphere that uplifts and inspires. Ruthie's mentorship cultivates skill development and cultivates a sense of self-assurance among mentees. This environment becomes a breeding ground for innovative thought, where fresh ideas are nurtured and given space to flourish.
The impact of Ruthie's mentorship extends beyond individual growth, encompassing the entire team. Through her cooperative approach, she fosters an environment of collaboration, where team members willingly exchange ideas and support one another. This shared sense of purpose enhances the collective capabilities of the team and contributes to the advancement of the architectural practice as a cohesive entity. In this holistic way, Ruthie's mentorship serves as a substance for both personal and collective excellence.

A Mindful and Compassionate Client
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Client: Transom Real Estate
282 Bremen Street is situated at the intersection of lush greenspace and the urban core of East Boston, presenting both opportunities and challenges for a mixed-use structure. To tackle this, we extensively examined site limitations, local architecture, and community impact. The design mirrors the area's rhythm, with the building's scale, rooflines, and materials drawing inspiration from the existing three-story, multifamily homes. The innovative concept accommodates 139 residential units, including 13 artist-specific ones, along with communal artist areas. A street-level retail space and art workspace enrich the ground floor. The building's setback enhances walkability, while elevated features ensure resilience against floods and future climate impacts.

The urban landscape is molded by a city's economic dynamics, cultural influences, and principles. As these factors progress, the physical environment must adapt, forming distinct layers that mark the city's historical epochs. The client's alignment with this perspective facilitated enhanced cooperation between RODE Architects and the Transom team. Their objective of enhancing inclusivity and accessibility to amenities for residents amplifies the potential for impeccable design and its associated remedies. RODE Architects values their partnership with this client and acknowledges the value of their collaborative approach.

A continuous Client Relationship
Our day started with a meeting for the design team to get ready for the next day's presentation. It is good to understand how team members are sharing their ideas and figure it out that what needs to be modified. After that, Ruthie took us to 282 Bremen project, which is a multi family building that located in East Boston. It is my first time visiting multi family construction site. I got a chance to understand the layout of different units.
The Cambria project inspired me that designing with client's branding combines with local inspiration is important.
Also we had a chance to talk to Rakshit, who is master student at the BAC, he shared a lot about his own experience working at RODE, and his advice on how to balance work and study as well.

It looks like a place to facilitate individual development and cooperative efforts, bolstered by extensive research and communal engagement.
Tumblr media
RODE Architects represents a dynamic hub for personal development and collaborative innovation, strengthened by thorough research and a tight-knit community. This collective thrives on its diverse membership, boasting varied backgrounds and rich histories in design. The hallmark of this ecosystem is seamless and cooperative teamwork, where participants unite harmoniously. What truly distinguishes this community is the individualized manner in which members engage with the design process, fostering a culture of mutual learning. Open-mindedness and receptivity take center stage, with a genuine eagerness to lend an ear and embrace original viewpoints. This extends to valuing both the individuals themselves and the innovative design solutions they contribute to the discourse. A standout aspect is the remarkable inclination for self-initiated idea sharing, underscored by a universal willingness to assemble insights from peers. The widespread philosophy revolves around collaborative growth, with each individual dedicated to refining their own competencies while simultaneously charting optimal trajectories for projects. This inescapable educational character is tangible throughout the entire design process, encapsulating every step. In this environment, inclusivity succeeds as everyone holds the potential to infuse value into each project. The unparalleled opportunity for collective involvement in every endeavor is particularly noteworthy, fostering unparalleled self-improvement prospects within the architectural realm. Every participant gains exposure to an array of projects, an invaluable steppingstone toward honing their craft. 
In summary, this community serves as a nexus of personal growth and collaborative synergy, underpinned by rigorous research and a tightly knit social fabric. The emphasis on diverse expertise and the seamlessness of collaborative efforts enables a unique approach to the design process. The prevailing culture of open-mindedness, shared learning, and inclusive participation collectively nurture an educational journey at every stage of design. This, in turn, empowers individuals to not only contribute substantively but also to embark on a transformative path of self-enhancement within the architectural domain.

It looks like a place for being creative
Our Tuesday morning started with site visit, Jon took us to the warehouse site that is under construction. I learn a lot about how contractor and architect company work together, and Jon introduce us a lot of details on warehouse design. After that we have a diagram workshop and I get inspired from all the amazing work RODE Architect stuff created. Thank you all for sharing.

DAY 1 | RODE Architects | Baha
Tumblr media Tumblr media
 I kicked off my day meeting my awesome BAC buddies, Minerva Gonzalez and Qiaoer Tan. We dived right into the world of RODE Architects, and let me tell you, Mondays there are no ordinary Mondays. The week starts with this super cool standup report, everyone gathered in a big circle, oozing positivity, and pumped-up energy. So, after we've soaked up the week's updates and discussed what's cooking in the office, we make our grand entrance. Yep, we introduced ourselves to the whole team. Settling into our desk space, we're greeted by Anna Arnot, sustainability guru, Ben Bruce, the urban planner, and Ruthie Kuhlman. They're not just builders; they're mentors. They give us the lowdown on our weekly gig and chat with us like old pals, answering all our questions.
Lunchtime rolls around, and Amanda Dexter, Caroline Jones, and Zoe Wong took us to a cozy corner restaurant in South End.
Tumblr media
We got to pick their brains, and let me tell you, it's like a casual brainstorm session with the coolest minds in the game.
Back in the office post-lunch, it's time for some behind-the-scenes action. We're given the keys to the project kingdom, and boy, it's like having backstage passes to a concert. We're diving into projects headfirst, exploring every nook and cranny.
Hold on tight because the day's not over. We're not just chilling; we're diving into an almost passive affordable housing project with the architectural dream team, Ben Wan and Katya Stassen. We're talking challenges, we're talking permits, and we're talking about some jaw-dropping moments on the site. And then, BAM!, they hit us with this incredible presentation that leaves us absolutely floored. 
As the day wraps up, we're still buzzing with excitement, doing some more exploring. Yeah, it's a day in the life, but let me tell you, it's not your average day. It's like being on a whirlwind adventure through the world of architecture, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
