BY MIKE FERGUSON
It isn't too unusual for students to have a
summer job, especially this year. But those
who find one in their field of study consider
themselves fortunate.
(Natalie Sully, 20, of Goderich, is an exam-
ple. She is currently working for the ar-
chitectural firm of Christopher Borgal of
Blyth. Sully will be entering her third year
at Carleton University's School of Architec-
ture in the Fall.
Working out of a trailer next to the Huron
County Pioneer Museum in Goderich, Sully
says she's involved with helping to prepare
the new design of the museum. The com-
plete model of the entire museum structure
is due to b.e presented to Hpron County
Council on September 4, she adds.
"What I'm doing now is very valuable to
my school work," Sully notes. Even though
the work is sometimes slow, "it's fun."
Throughout the summer, Sully says her
duties include taking an inventory of all the
artifacts in the museum and measuring
them.
"This helps determine the design of the
new part" of the museum,jo that the ar-
tifacts will fit, she offers. IrJaddition, Sully
measured the schoolhouse for restoration.
With tate. actual designs completed by the
architectural firm, Sully worked on the con-
text model. The model, made out of wood,
was sanded, painted and glued by her, with
every piece having to be precise.
Sully's interest in designing began at an
early age. "I've always loved drawing
buildings or people," or even T-shirt
designs, indicates Sully. After taking two
years of drafting at GDCI, "I wanted to try
architecture after Grade 13," she adds.
Sully says she applied at Carleton Univer-
sity because it has "one of the best reputa-
tions" in Canada. The School of Architec-
ture there accepts only 75 students from
over 1200 applicants. And, architecture is
still a male- dominated field, with females
comprising only 10 percent of the total
number of architects in North America.
I like a challenge," Sully remarks, ad-
ding things are starting to change. About 25
percent of Carleton's architecture school
are now female.
The tough five-year course is a victim of
high dropout levels, says Sully. "Especially
after third year, the rate is almost 40 per-
cent." People just get tired of so much work
and staying up late, Sully suggests, reveal-
ing 16 hour days are the norm.
Her classes involve mostly studio work on
problem assignments given to the students.
Sully recalls the questionnaire sent to her
when she applied two years ago. "You had
to write an essay on why you wanted to be an
architect," including completing a puzzle
arranging it to create a design.
Also, Sully says she had to mail in a port-
folio of her work with drawings and pain-
tings in it based on a personal theme.
Teachers judged it on its variety and im-
agination, she adds.
In her fourth year, Sully indicates she
may have an opportunity to take part in
"Directed Studies Abroad" (DSA), a unique
program at Carleton enabling students to
complete design studio work in locales like
Rome, Italy.
"I'm really lucky to have this job," says
Sully, noting some students graduate from
the course after five years without any real
experience. Also, she suggests that in the ci-
ty a job like this may not have been
available.
"I just love the course" at Carleton, Sully
remarks. Architecture "invents spaces. It
can influence our culture with buildings that
will be around forever."
The architecture student says she is
relatively uncertain about the future,
because "I have to get through third year
first." But the big firms in Toronto, Mon-
treal and Vancouver are possibilities. "I'm
optimistic the jotb,market will be getting bet-
ter," Sully says.
