bok talk!
i've been bouncing off this idea on some arki friends for some time now, and the reception has been good, so (finally) i'm making it public.
THE IDEA: a regular "roundtable discussion" where young architects can exchange ideas and opinion on topics regarding their profession
THE OBJECTIVE: personal and professional growth, through the sharing of ideas and general support
THE METHOD: hold a discussion once a month, not too formal, maybe 2-3 hours of a saturday afternoon in some cafe. proceedings will be summarized and posted here.
NOTE: since this is in the beginning stages, there are no set guidelines; let's see what works first. as a start, we can focus on light, specific topics which people can relate to.
so we won't overdiscuss the Idea, we're just going to do it, and see what happens. so..
THE FIRST "BOK TALK" will be held on July 10, Saturday, 1:30 p.m. Meeting place will be at The Podium in Ortigas (reason: middle ground between q.c. and makati, presence of possible cafes where we can talk). The first topic will be: what you learned from your first job. We need to know how many people will be going, so please confirm by posting here, or texting me at 0916-5792376. More than 6 people will probably need a volunteer moderator. If you have any good ideas for a venue within the Ortigas area, kindly post it here. We also need suggestions for future topics.

count me in
I used to have a Sunday group which did the same thing. We'd meet every Sunday afternoon to discuss and formulate solutions. The only thing is we're now in different parts of the world but I still believe that we made a difference because of that.
What I learned from doing that though was a system would definitely need to be in place sometime or even sooner or else the talks would not be that productive. That might be the first thing you guys need to talk about. However, it could just be an informal thing all in all and just be a chance to socialize as well.
Sometimes its actually better (and cheaper)to meet in someone's house and have people bring food. Good luck guys. I support the Bok Talk 100% and I'll be with you in spirit. When I get the chance to come over there I'll try to share some stuff with you guys as well. Have fun!
game! =) will try to make it.
