Q:hi, i am a 2nd year architecture student, and i just want to ask, is it normal if you dont get to finish a project on time? we have deadlines every studio session, i always have these ideas in my head but when i try to construct them it gets all messed up then i have to start all over :/ it's pretty frustrating..

Of course it’s normal, but, let’s be honest … while you are in school, every project can be finished on time, you will just have to sacrifice much of your time and architecture school asks for much dedication and sacrifice. 
So … I would rather lose time developing the idea that I like, than developing some pushed up idea that I would change in the process, because I won’t like it. I’ve done that many times, although I’ve always finished the project, because it’s much easier working with an idea that you love, than something just to get done.

Best way to keep track of your ideas - write and sketch everything down. When you get the inspiration you need to do some work, sit down and try to connect those ideas. You’ll see that you will have a rough, but developed idea, that will carry maybe even 70% of your project. 

Cheers
