Here’s the last of the interns who joined with me. Let’s
read more about Tanvi’s experiences at Sandarbh…
Me:Hey Tanvi!
Tell us something about yourself
Tanvi: Hi guys! I’m
Tanvi from Nashik in Maharashtra. I consider myself to be a pretty spontaneous
person. I’m inclined towards artistic fields and I really enjoy music. I also
really like taking long walks and observing everything around me.
Me: So, what was
going on in your mind before you got to Sandarbh? How were those impressions
different from your experiences here?
Tanvi: With all
the conversations on the office group and the mails we all exchanged I felt
like I had an idea of what work at Sandarbh is like. It was actually better in
person. Work is definitely fun. Time passes really fast as I enjoy what I’m
doing. I haven’t come across a boring day yet. I really like working here.
Me: Would you
like to walk us through your journey uptil now…
Tanvi: I had a
very interesting beginning. On the second day of work itself I got to tag along
for a client meeting. Post that I was working on mood boards for that project
and eventually got to work on the space planning and designing also. Sketchup,
approval drawings, working drawings, I’ve had an opportunity to work on all of
these in my one month here. The continuous conversation we have with Sai have
also helped a lot. It helps us be aware of everything happening in office
whether it is the work on site, the project management, the marketing or the
design decisions. It has also helped me understand how each of these processes
is interdependent and interconnected. All of these interactions have also
helped me to open up to people, more than I did before.
Me: I’ve seen
some of your watercolour work and it’s pretty good. How was your experience of
trying out watercolour as a medium for expression in architecture?
Tanvi: It was
actually really interesting. I enjoy watercolour but it’s mostly abstract or
things I’ve copied off the net. When Sai asked me to apply the same technique
to convey architectural intent it took me a while to actually get that. Rambo
really helped me in the process. He would just walk into the garage and tell me
what I was doing wrong, he would help me out and show me his own techniques for
painting. I really do feel like I have gotten better with the whole process
now.
Me: Seems to me
you’ve had a pretty good experience till now. Any expectations for the
remaining internship period?
Tanvi: I just
hope everything continues to be as good as it is. In fact, I hope it just keeps
getting better. I just hope to keep learning more through the process of work.
Me: I hope so
too! Any last words before we wrap up for the day?
Tanvi: I just
wish that I keep enjoying the work that I get and that I keep encountering new
things everyday on the job!
