Planning

Planning is an important part of collaboration any work; I found due to this course, new notions of planning in a group during this collaboration through ARCH1392. All my life I have not been good on planning, no matter how many timetable sheets I set out to complete my work in a reasonable time. The quality of work is reflective of the time spent and how much time is needed to develop skill. Time planning is important to every project. From what I have learnt through this semesters work is; no matter if you are in university and have other subjects, each subject should be given equal amount of time to get each task done and able to get as much knowledge out of the subject, tutors and lecturers. If I were to do this again or giving someone else advice, I will make sure a timesheet will be made and set an allocation of time to get weekly tasks done.

Other than time planning, planning an outcome or an end result is crucial to the planning of time allocation and it ensures a decent end result you can be happy with. You are delighted with the outcome because you have reached the goal.

In the built environment, Planning is set out as a profession. It is important to the design and function of the building. In the book Landscape ecology principles in landscape architecture and land-use planning, it talks about how architecture and planning should be harmonious and the key to their brilliance is the enlightened meshing of nature and culture.[1] Now what does this mean? The context we talked about previously is a major part on how to plan the site. Where will the building go; where will the trees go to shade the building; what type of landscape will suit the area? There are so many questions that could be asked and answered before the initial designs are even made. It just proves that planning is an important part of the architect’s process.
So as computer technicians, how can planning help us? We’ll from what I have experienced through university is that planning ahead of time can actually save time. I should personally get into the habit of planning a task well before the due date.
