    As a recent masters graduate, my best advice is
    1.) Do not be afraid to strongly defend your work and argue your points constructively at critiques. You know your own design more than a professor or anyone else ever will. Don’t tuck your tail between your legs and just “okay..” after every point they make. Believe it or not they appreciate you standing your ground for the building as it shows how passionate you are about your work.
    (This isn’t to be confused with making excuses on why you left things out of the project don’t do that)
    2.) Do not be afraid to use scrap and recycled material for models to save money. I can’t tell you the amount of times I’ve spent $0 on a model utilizing scraps and recycled materials while other students spent hundreds and I still got a better score. Arch school isn’t pay to win.

      Completely agree, One thing i've noticed is that unless you have a really open minded reviewer, it wil always seem like they are just trying to rip your project to pieces. Use the critiques as a stepping stone almost like a tutorial conversation with a few more people watching ;) So don't stress about them, especially in first year it will all seem daunting to begin with. P.s. do the work when they tell you to do it, no joke, it builds up Fast!!!

    -Use Google drive first for rough work then move it to word or other programs afterwards
    -Schedule work

      @jonsena6yearsagoand949 4 роки тому +11

      I'm not one, but I can fairly understand, and say yes, that is a fact.
      My big sis back in her college days always pulled an all-nighter, she said she was already lucky if she got 3-6 hours of sleep. Some or most times her work wasn't still finished (I even, at most times, wake up 2-3 in the early morning and see her still doing her archi work), and in the weekends, she's 24/7 lying in bed, sleeping like a log, only wakes up when she needed to use the bathroom, eat or drink. Sis didn't even bother changing out of her uniform and just directly goes to sleep as she is when she gets home.
      I was still pretty young, like around 11-14 years of age at that time, so I wasn't thinking into it that much. Now I'm nearly sixteen and thinking back, holy crap, my big sis wasn't having the best time of her life at that time.
      Thanks to that, the household chores formerly done by her were given to me and my twin bro.
      (A family of seven here, a dad and a mom, one big sis, two big bros, and us two twins bros, me being the youngest)
      The trip to her uni and back home were also really long and tiresome, guess that becomes a common thing when you enter college.
      She had a 3 year course of architect learning before dropping out, quite a shame that she only needed 2 more years to graduate college. But she's now a contact centre agent and is a really good illustrator that also does a little part-time job of drawing anime-manga-ish stuff.

    • @David-bx2mw
      @David-bx2mw 4 роки тому +18

      architecc LP as a recent Masters grad, I’d say two things to maybe help you out for where you are at now-
      - Just remember where you stand as a first year and be humble about knowing that you don’t know anything about architecture yet and that you will graduate many years from now still not knowing many things that architects need to know. Too many people feel like they are architecture experts now since they are in the major and it can really revisit you and bite you if you have that mentality.
      - If you are having too many mental breakdowns, be sure just to strongly consider if this is for you. Your mental health is very important. The reason I say this is because people assume school is hard but once they start working it’s all rainbows and sunshine from there when in reality the workload you have now will be the workload for the rest of your life if you continue this. Just learn to embrace the hard work and use your time to do what you’re truly passionate about.

I would like to say thank you for helping me find an interest, and keep up all of your work! 👍🏻 P:S: You deserve way more subs!

      I know this is not what you want to hear but you are way toooo young to put so much pressure on you! I think you should take a lot of time to explore things that interest you! Read books and watch videos about things that interest you and try doing those things yourself. Don't worry if you're not good at something, that comes after, but focus on finding what exactly you enjoy doing! I'm glad that this video helped you but don't worry about setting your future in stone just yet. Have fun and explore. Thank you for you comment and your compliment, and I wish you lots of luck!

One thing is as long you have passion and good stamina to keep up your work of process will make good progress and survive, makes yourself to try work out 40 minutes a day (4 times a week). You might loose sleep, and if you willingly want to make sacrifice you’ll be fine. Do what you love or you’ll feel like it’s daunting task and feel under pressure.

    I'm in year two of architecture, and it's shocking how quickly the pace and size of projects increases. First we designed shelters for hikers, now a year later we are working on how to fill a GIANT old factory with new development. And, the first year was very much about one-man-tasks, now we are almost always working in teams. Architecture wasn't the obvious choice for me but I don't regret it: it is super inspiring, you meet a lot of fun creative people and you get a lot of freedom in your studies. A major challenge for me is staying organized, you create a LOT of things that you need to somehow archive (I still haven´t figured out the best way for this yet). I go to a Swedish architecture school which has a more technical profile, maybe that differs from the american education. Anyhow, I know for a fact that you will NEVER stop studying when choosing a career in architecture, you have to embrace that you will learn something new every day for the rest of your life.

    EXCELLENT VIDEO! I live in a pre-fabricated house here in West Palm Beach, Florida, a Sears-Robuck kit that my mother and I believe was originally built in the early 1930s. Regrettably, building records from long ago are nearly impossible to procure now because the county has a practice of burning their records every decade. However, even though it was a Sears kit done in the "Craftsman" style, it is clear that someone put a lot of time and care into how it was built. It feels like a proper home instead of a product. For instance, the floors are made out of Dade County pine, a wood that is now extinct. More modern structures can be beautiful, there just needs to be care.

    @richardhall5489 4 роки тому +1

    Nice video. I really liked that you disclosed that you designed empty buildings without thinking about the whole finished college project.
    I have an engineering degree and for a few years I worked for a theatrical supply / lighting company. One of the most interesting tasks we did was service work on theatres. I had also worked as a technician and production manager in some of the same spaces AND visited some of the venues as a customer so I got to see many aspects of how they functioned. It was surprising how many of the venues had problems and faults that were the result of poor architecture and design. I'm sure they fulfilled the client's brief but that shouldn't be the ultimate goal. My advice to architecture students would be talk to end users as if the project is really going to be built. So if your project is something remotely specialised - a restaurant, cinema, bus station, conference centre, sports facility, TV studio etc then find out how they function in the real world by talking to people (the workers too not just the PR person or the managers) and especially ask to see the side the pubic don't have access to. Then take some of that on board when you start to design.

    • @Moochers
      @Moochers  4 роки тому

      That's some good advice. Suggesting the client to hire a specialist for the specific program is also appropriate. 🍻😃

      i had crippling anxiety about the future at your age, it SUCKS but it's totally normal. my advice, as a former anxious teen, is to remind yourself that by the time you've graduated and are going off to college, you'll have several more years of experience. it makes a world of difference. in essence: **don't imagine your current self trying to juggle all of the elements of adulthood.** i know it feels like you're RIGHT on the cusp of being thrown into the real world, but you have a lot of time to experience life and round yourself out as an individual. when it's time, it'll still feel scary, but you'll know yourself better and understand what you can handle.
      good luck!!

    No, I'm not an architect, but I have a suggestion.
    Im 45, and have been in and out of construction work most of my life.
    I have always been interested in working on the opposite end.
    I seriously suggest, if you can, between semesters, try and find a construction company to work with.
    So you can actually see how everything comes together on that end.
    It may give you a better understanding of what materials work together, and what doesn't work together.
    It definitely couldn't hurt.

      This really really really depends on the location and the firm. It's very common in the US to start out making around 40k a year to draft on Autocad or Revit or do some other things such as site/field verification etc. The more motivated you are, the faster you can increase this number. You just have to be willing to jump to another firm if your firm is not giving you opportunities.

I love anything to do with art. although a lot of pressure was put on me for architectural engineering and I did explore my other interests because I knew it may not be what I wanted to do but by now and 5 almost 6 years of exploring and researching all my interests I think I've decided to stick with it although I still have 2 years to decide I'm not rushing anything and i will continue to explore my interests and see if I end up back here if i do I will watch this video again when I'm applying to university.

    What can I do as a high school student to better prepare myself for majoring in architecture?

      You should go to the library and read some books on architecture. Any books you find, just skim through them, start to see what interests you. Watch documentaries on architecture. Start to learn about architecture design, what the fundamentals are, etc.

      Wow, this vid came back into my algorithm and remembered this comment. Who knew I’d actually be in architecture! Currently in my second year :,)

    oh wow I really wish you made this video in 2016/2017, I am in my final semester now and most of your points is what I regretted the most in my architecture life (except for the 1st and 2nd point)😢! I've made my mind to go to infrastructure / management construction field for my master/work field, because I can feel that architecture isn't really for me, even though the experiences here is priceless....
