Why THIS is so important for Architects (+ Students)

- All creatives share similar struggles; in this video I discuss the challenges I've faced as an architect and the strategies I use to overcome them. Viewed through the lens of a project currently in design, this is a short musing on the importance of making things, on scheduling creativity and why cultivating uncertainty is so vitally important to your success (and happiness).
Anyone who relies on creativity to support themselves has fears: about the blank page, of being able to summon fresh ideas…of doing something interesting…something unexpected. I worry about the critics…whether that’s other professionals, my client’s, my parents…you - my audience. Of course I’m challenged by all the practical things too…of supporting my family, the worry of finding new projects, of meeting expectations, and of living up to my own artistic goals.
I have a very simple strategy for handling these struggles. If you want to learn more about my process for making, check this page on my website for my precise formula: thirtybyforty.c...
Thanks for watching, I do hope you enjoyed this short interlude; it was a real creative reflection for me; I had fun making it. Please share it with someone who needs to hear the message.

Thanks for watching!
Thank you for making this video. Supportive words of wisdom. I see why you like the kuru-toga. I have the same issue when using mechanical pencils. Very nice tool! Thank you for sharing!
Wow Eric, I think you just moved 30X40 channel up to a whole new level. I love this one. These almost winter-time reflections, from somewhere deep within, and such good advice , as usual. With this one I especially love the visuals; you're becoming quite a film director as well !
such high praise...i can't tell you how gratifying it is to hear this...thank you!
this one was particularly rewarding to make. cheers...
I have to Agree! Eric, I only recently found your channel but this one is sublime in many aspects.
This was like a short movie.
I'm not an arch., but i like to watch your videos. They are relaxing and informative. Thanks!
really enjoyed making this one...
(thanks for noticing)
"I think it's interesting that creative people spend so much time imagining and inventing solutions to other people's problems, to the world's problems, but we forget to apply that same kind of thinking to our own." aside from all what you said in the video, which btw was greatly inspiring, these few words spoke to me personally, not only as a student but as an artist as well.
It's also quite interesting to know that other people share similar thoughts, people of different experiences in the field and out of it. Thank you so much for another motivational video, I appreciate your hard work.
kind of you to say...many thanks from one artist to another...
30X40 Design Workshop these words just brought me to tears because that’s exactly what I’m facing right now. I’m in the middle of my bachelor thesis and I’m so focused on my work and on the solution of the project that I’m forgetting to care about myself. Handling stress in a way of getting back to yourself, to nature, to your surroundings is so important yet so hard to achieve.
I'm planning on becoming an architect, and your entire channel is so inspirational. Thank you so much for helping me on my way, to reaching my dream job.
Thank you so much.. I was feeling very anxious because of my clasmates work and worrying was stopping me from working well.. And i was so anxious. But this video helped me a lot. I'm just gonna make things.. I'm gonna believe in the process.. Love and light to you ❤️
your work is a result of your process...it's different, but it's no less valuable...good luck to you...
You are my motivational drug
and ditto for comments like yours!
appreciate it...
Another wonderful and inspiring video. Thank you Eric.
I started watching your channel about a year ago or so and I have found your videos invaluable and shared them with as many people as I can.
I’m probably around the same age as you Eric but started my career very recently after having moved countries and raised my children to a fairly independent age. I am very hungry for knowledge and insight into the processes that go into the running of a successful architecture practice and the wonderful materials and construction elements that are so crucial to creating successful projects. And you have provided exactly that. I cannot wait to see every video and eagerly watch out for them. It’s also amazing to watch the transformation that you have made. Your videos have become increasingly more appealing and beautiful. I cannot wait to see more about running your practice, how you put your drawings together. Maybe more about organizing your practice, documents, file structures, preparing for client meetings.
Thank you for providing a most wonderful and inspiring service to us all!!
appreciate all the kind words my friend...in early 2017 i committed to investing in this channel as both an educational tool and a creative outlet for me personally; it's been creatively enriching in a way i hadn't anticipated...so glad that's coming through in the quality...hearing this kind of feedback makes it all worthwhile. cheers...
I couldn’t have watched this video at a better time. Your words have lifted my heart from the stress and anxiety I’m currently experiencing as an architecture student. Thank you so, so much.
Eric, love the statement you made in the video, "Crafting the kind of life you want to live that's CREATIVE work too." It reminded me of a meme that read "You are the ARCHITECT OF YOUR own destiny. This life IS YOURS don't waste it. LIVE YOUR LIFE with no regrets."
Very personal and inspirational video Eric. I think what you speak of is called 'the wisdom of uncertainty', and if fully embraced, the phenomenon can invoke a state of being where the more uncertain things seem, the more comfortable we become. It seems you have found it. Well done
cheers...appreciate you sharing your thoughts...
Great one as usual. " The best thing to do is to keep making things" Thank you always thank you :)
thanks omar...
Wow Eric! You are amazing! I believe in things happening for a reason, I do not know if “this” (destiny) is real or not but I do know it is my truth, what I choose to believe and I am beyond happy and blessed you have crossed my path! Thank you for helping create a better positive ambiance in the architect world through your words and teachings. Not only in the Architect world but personal life and boost self esteem. Truly a pleasure meeting you Eric.
thanks for noticing...it means a lot...!
Thank you for putting the time to make such an honest video. I am an architecture student and uncertainity used to be my greatest enemy until I started to realise that it is a natural part of designing process, and such realization is gradually helping me to be more calm in my designing process, more patient with myself, and more persistent. Thank you for bringing this aspect up in a human matter
I treat you as one of my university lecturers, you are the best, the most inspiring and you complement my knowledge in 110%. Thank you very much. Wonderful videos! Greetings from Poland
great hearing this +Maciek Nesterowicz ...thanks...
Hello Eric. I'm an architect myself and I've been following your channel for quite some time now. Love your work and especially your presentations! You have inspired and pulled me through some really troubled times. This video (reflection) especially hit something quite deep. Seems architects (and creative professionals, as you said) tend to have all these things going on in the back of their minds. Really helps to know we aren't alone in this...
Thank you so much Eric. Really appreciate it and keep up the amazing work!
This is a much needed channel for architecture students! I'm still in my 1st year and I shared your channel with my friends too :) I always come here when I feel really overwhelmed with my work. I learnt that it's okay to not have it all figured out. You really shed a light on our lives 😊 many thanks
Thank you! I'm a first-year student at the School of Architecture at Taliesin, and I've come to realize that sometimes I get stuck on those uncertainties as I work on a project, sometimes not allowing myself to explore ideas that do not seem to work, but might guide me towards concepts that do.
it's an excellent realization to have...thanks for sharing...
Been watching your videos even before I joined architecture, and you have inspired me a lot. You have been an amazing teacher. Keep up with the ever-inspiring videos, best of luck.
fantastic to hear...thanks...
I am an architect student in Germany and i have to say that your channel has made a big impact on my work, my view of architecture and therefor me as a person.
Thank you for all the heart you put into this channel.
Eric, I always look forward to your Vlog Posts. They inspire me every week to push myself harder, further, to challenge myself and my core principles in Architecture, what I stand for and how I can craft the practice I truly want. I to suffer from the same issues that you go though and its People like you that lead and show others the way be it other Architects, Students or just people that want to understand what we actually do and show them we are all human. You don't know this but you are one of my Virtual mentors along with Pat F, Enoch S, Mark Le Page who I reflect on daily at times of doubt and contemplation after my quiet time. I'll listen to a pod cast or watch a vlog each day and i get a third wind to face my fear and pivot onto the next thing to strive for the unobtainable. Thank you as always, Barry Stott-Brookes. PS. take some soar throat sweets to help get over that London cold you have, you were here just at the wrong time its not as cold but just wet. PPS also what is the light you used for your model sunpath in the back ground i like it.
humbled +Barry Stott-Brookes...thanks for such a thoughtful response...
the weather in london wasn't a bother to me at all, a wonderful place in any light!
background light is the aputure 120d (daylight balanced single source LED) + their light dome (a business investment this year for the vids)...absolutely love it! cheers my friend...
You can't imagine how much a first grade architecture student like me can appreciate a channel like this!
fantastic...keep after it...
Eric, I stumbled upon your video series the other day and have watched several of them. I think this one has been the most moving for me as you have captured in 3 minutes the essence of struggle that I too have been up against in my career as an architect. The fear of the blank page, coming up with fresh ideas day in and out, finding new and fulfilling work, and of course supporting family. great series. Tim Stone, AIA Kelly & Stone Architects
Eric,
Just finished my Studio III final review last night, and as always your timing and message is spot on. I used some techniques from your videos as well as quite a few other places, but the inspiration from your videos I think especially gave me the drive to pull me through this final. High remarks from the crits and professor, and I believe my best work so far.
Thank you for the inspiration, and I look forward to more videos.
Cal
congratulations...i remember that feeling...walking out of studio after hearing praise for all the work you put into the project...that sense of aesthetic accomplishment...that feeling that you pulled something out of the ether...it's pretty magical...
glad to have shared a small part in inspiring that...but it's you who made it happen...
cheers...
Very inspiring -- wish I could give it ten thumbs up! I'm a writer, but a main character in a novel I'm working on is an architect, which is how I discovered your videos. A few weeks ago, I was searching for info on building architectural models and got hooked on your videos. Thanks for creating and sharing them.
so interesting...glad the vids are proving useful fodder for your creative work!
Now Karla that might be a book worth reading, note Eric taste in music when in deep concentration mode! you need to somehow horse shoe that into the book! I Started listening to Motley Crue the other day and had to turn that down so i have no idea how Eric could listen to a Anthrax or Slayer Album?
Hi Eric, I actually graduated as an interior designer but love watching your videos for inspirational guidance and informational content. I particularly loved watching this video, cause all the struggle you mentioned are struggles I was facing during my study time and still I'm facing. But watching this video and hearing what you had to say really gave me determination and motivation to channel all these challenges and fear into hope. Thank you for doing these videos and sharing them with us. You are literally changing someone's life.
Wow, this is one of my favorite videos on UA-cam now. This really spoke to me as an architecture student and it's reassuring to hear a sucessful architect is having the same issues. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you very much for this video, it’s uplifting. I‘m one year away from my masters degree in architecture, but I feel currently very empty and tired. It‘s always like you have to work the way your professor wants to day in and day out and your whole world is turning around specific problems that comes with this.
I really think that I have to set my mind free, but sometimes, and that might sound crazy, it feels that there‘s no place to be creative because I really have the fear that my personal touch isn‘t good enough.
Thank you for the honesty! Sometimes it feels like everyone knows exactly what they’re doing, and why, and what will happen next.
Thank you so much. As the end of the sem nears this exactly the kind of sagesse I need to know is true and concrete. It does so much when someone like you puts so much of my essential existence into precise words and visuals. Also, it's SUCH a joy to see your filmography EVOLVE with every video you upload !!!
Also, the drama of the thumbnail made me smile :D . Couldn't wait to watch this the whole day!
i could not be more impressed...you described all those complex feelings in the bessssst way possible...thanks and wish you the best...you're doing a marvelous job making these videos.
Currently taking design 1 and it’s breaking my brain because i’m constantly doubling myself even though my grades and models reflect good ideas. I needed this video and I thank you for taking the time to inspire me and the upcoming future architects in school. Much love
Eric, this is easily your best video I've seen. I wish I heard this during my undergrad degree. Damn I wish I did!
thanks josh...always a student, right?
Thank you.. you don't know how much someone like you helps people, hope for you and your family the best.. :) keep going
I love your channel, and that kind of videos that makes one see through the thick facade of the architecture is something I truly adore. Cheers and I'm following each of your advises /with some little skepticism of course :) / Looking forward for your next videos.
you've been paying attention my friend...great hearing from you...
This is a great vid. Looks like you caught us all! And I have to say the quality of the direction and editing are becoming serious. Thumbs up
Your channel is very inspiring, I too work for myself & am an almost licensed, started a design build because I was raised as a carpenter so it was only natural. Thanks for such great content, I look forward to more!
I recently discovered your page during a roadtrip. You shined light on challenges I am currently dealing with. Thank you for sharing your expertise.
Glad I could help! Similar topic covered here: Problems + Challenges (Day in the Life) ua-cam.com/video/rHR3Iqm5464/v-deo.html
Im a fan! Great vids. Life lessons not just creative minds alike but for everyone. This is a treasure! Thank you. Greetings from Singapore/Philippines!
thanks for checking in...hope to travel to your part of the world soon...
As an architecture student,I have always struggled with this, uncertainty,criticism etc. I am glad you did this, I really needed to hear this. Thank you.
Just what I needed to hear. I'm a student at LAIAD and next week are presentations; seeing your video helped clear something's for me so .. thanks
glad to help...best of luck with your presentations...
Uncertainty => Courage => Starting => Doing the Work => Sisu (determination) => Making => Making Better + ^^^ Building ^^^ => Collaboration with Trades => Post Occupancy Study => Lessons Learned => Completing the Circle o. Like the searching tone, the desperation in the word of the uncertainty in the piece. With all the emphasis on BIM and modeling on the computer for production and workflow. It is grounding to touch flimsy and build models. Flimsy is the brainstorm of ideas raining, looking for flashes of lighting. Once the model is made the fluidity of an ideas gain substance. Thanks for the encouragement to make. Pax et Bonum
I myself am a 3rd year architecture student and your videos have helped through everyday design studio. my teachers expect me to stay in a boxed grid with technical lines. i hope i dont loose the sight of what i want to make during this. Thank you so much 💖
Very insightful words paired with excellent visuals and a perfect score = one of your best film productions yet. I've been watching for a long time and have always loved the insight you bring to us regarding your craft. But this is a truly great piece of film. Just goes to show that it doesn't always have to be long to creat great emotion and tell a great storey!
More content like this would be greatly appreciated, I know how much effort it must have been but was well worth it.
Cheers
Always good advice Eric, and always learning from how you work and view the world. I couldn't agree with you more and often find making leads to new paths for the design. As always looking forward to the next video my friend!
thank you my friend...some reflection time is always helpful for me, esp. as the year draws to a close...cheers...
Very meaningful message. This one applies to not only architects but anyone pursuing their dreams and goals; not settling for mediocrity. Thanks Eric!
I am watching this before my Bachelors degree exam. It was so comforting. Thank you.
Heavy reflection my man. The things that consume us and haunt us as creative professionals. So true. Part of the reason I just spent half of today in my shop. Building. Creating. Feeling what it's like to take the design "the rest of the way". I love the studio you created and it makes me just ever so slightly jealous every time I see it in your videos. (small lol) Keep doing what you're doing. It gives some of us hope, or at least light. Cheers.
appreciate you sharing this my friend...keep making things, your studio = your shop...it's all you need...
loved this video ! we always face fear when creating something new. it was great seeing your perspective on the subject.
these videos are like therapy for me (sometimes)...
Wow. Thank you very much for that message. It’s incredible to have the daily struggle verbalized. Great films. Thank you.
Ive been on fence.. struggling, completing, day dreaming about diving in head first to the Architecture world. I am currently a General contractor building spec homes around the silicon valley. The more I build, the more I enjoy the design aspect of it all. watching your videos have been a huge push for to pursue a dream of mine.... For that I thank you.
i just found this channel, because i was hoping to find some inspiration or advice in my works as a architecture student, but my anxieties is getting to me with the removal of first and second, some third year subjects since there are no new students coming till 2020. it the end of the semester so im planning on binge watching this channel for tips and motivations. thanks you
totally encourage binge watching...
Such a beautiful insight into the creative process and the daily discipline of making, Eric. I've always loved this quote of Ira Glass's ... "Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn’t have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I’ve ever met. It’s gonna take awhile. It’s normal to take awhile. You’ve just gotta fight your way through.” I always try to remember it's fear that's telling me not to create. And the antidote to fear is action. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and in such a gorgeous, visual way. I watched a couple of times so I could admire the layout and detailing of the panelling on the outside of your studio ;)
such an apt point of reference Amelia...have you seen HBO series The Defiant Ones? So many great quotes in there, but this one stood out by Jimmy Iovine: "I turn fear into a tailwind, instead of a headwind." I absolutely love that...
You'll have to visit when you're next in the states...I'll give you the tour!
I'll hold you to that Eric!
Que buena película! Made me feel very related to the idea of appreciating a design process making and unmaking itself as a designer pushes it. I too have felt it and over time learned to embrace uncertainty (sorry if my comment is not proper english, I am a Spanish speaker). Great movie and channel! I read a similar thought from Eduardo Arroyo's 'Create!'
thanks for sharing my friend...appreciate it!
Apart from great videos that are very well made and edited, I got some great advice and some uplifting and inspiring messages.
Thanks for this great channel. Cheers 🤘
Thank you very much! This video was very relatable, I’m currently in architecture school and I had an awful crit on Monday, this video helped!
i know the feeling...the tough crits don't (unfortunately) end with school...! we can't control the fact that the critique was bad, we can only control how we react to it...stay + and move forward armed with more information and the will to make something better! good luck...
30X40 Design Workshop Exactly! Thank you!
Eric, This video is not your usual type/kind of video, but it was well worth the wait. This is a succinct and very powerful mini-manifesto. It's a cup of emotional coffee for the beginning, middle or end of the workday. Perfection sir.
Please keep posting new content. you are inspiring so many young architects !
so nice to hear my friend...thank you...
Just what I needed to hear the day after final reviews. Thanks so much for being a mentor Eric.
So inspiring and affectional..
Is it only me but i noticed a subtle deepening of your voice, Eric??
a little under the weather that's all...
Perfect timing for the end of semester frustrations that happen with being a student in architecture
full on empathy...keep making things...that's the solution!
Great! Spectacularly honest colleague... cheers, and keep struggling, we're millions around the world living that same process...
Thanks, that's very inspirational and motivating to an architecture student like me! I'm always put off by the fact that my design is never perfect so I procrastinate in making decisions and producing work.
completely natural...i find it liberating to think about whatever is on my desk as just one of many solutions i'll be developing...kind of takes the precious nature of the whole thing away...it's one of many drafts, right?
This video couldn't have been uploaded at a better time, I'm nearing the end of my first semester in college and the stress of final evaluations is getting to me.
glad it found you at just the right time...you've got this!
Just wow, I love it, cultivate the uncertainty and move forward!!!
In the middle of a project and this is perfect defenetly brought my mood up, replay replay replay :)
totally encourage replaying...good luck with the project...
I felt much better after watching this video,... I'm sure that these words were from your heart, thanks a lot.
THIS IS WAY MORE THAN I EXPECTED, I WAS THINKING I WAS GONNA SEE THE USUAL, BUT YOU KILLED IT.....ME TOO............#TRUSTTHEPROCESS
Wow what a great channel! Really Inspiring, I'm an architecture student by the way, really looking forward to grab some knowledge from here
Thanks. You’ve inspired me to dig out my prismacolor markers and refine a handful of the most subtle colors. Time to dust off this rusty skill. Pencil is my go to
I enjoyed the video. It was in a different mood which was nice. A little grey and introspective for the season.
(and the cold i'm nursing!)...thanks for watching...
Sorry about the cold. Get better soon. (Great video even with a cold).
Hi Eric, just to say I love your channel, every video leave me motivated to go ahead and improve my skills in design and make real architecture. To pursue my dream of having a studio workshop and develop ideas related to design in its various expressions.
Maybe you can make the subtitles on your videos to all who are not fluent in English as me because sometimes I can't follow all what you say if there isn't subtitles (not the ones made by UA-cam).
Thank you so much to share with us your life, your workshop, your ideas, your creative process and knowledge, these show us the kind of human being you are 💙 Greetings from Peru 🙌
really nice vid. i follow your channel for a while and it is very inspiring also love the way you make the videos and narrate them. keep up the good work. btw you have and real great office space there, in your backyard i guess?
thank you my friend...front yard actually!
i'am an architect from algeria and i love watching your videos thank you for everything
Your channel is my motivation and it encouraged me/anyone to keep improving
Thank you for this video, looking at your video's I improved my sketching, sheets and cadd drawing.... Thanks a lot...
Best video till now! Need more inspirational talks like this in my life.
cheers my friend...i make these as reminders for myself too!
really beautiful and touching. thank you for this.
I really love your videos. As a college student I am trying to choose a career in which I can practice what I enjoy, which is drawing. However, because of the ridicule society has on artists and the lack of financial insurance with that career, I never had the confidence in my own work to sell it or let others invest in it because the product of my thoughts has never felt worthy of material value. I am currently looking towards architecture as a technological approach on art which would still allow me to express my creativity. It is also something I realized I've had some interest in since I was little creating scaled floor plans of my bedroom and using them to decorate it they way I would if I had the resources. I know I am good at drawing and mathematical processes so it seems like a nice fit on paper. Finding your channel has not only helped me while looking into the field of architecture, but this video in particular has shown me that there is uncertainty in all sorts of fields of work and it calms me to see that you have found motivation and positivity in the feeling on uncertainty. I'll continue creating and boost my confidence in the process.
This video describes exactly how I feel. I want to get a Masters in Architecture, yet the fear of failure and not being talented enough is something I struggle with daily. Thank you for this video.
of course...glad it found you at the right time...
As a fellow designer this is real talk...thanks Eric..
I really needed to see this today. Thanks, Eric!
glad it found you at just the right time...
this is so nice video, please keep up your good work, we are with you! I love your videos. very inspiring.
One of the struggles I have as being an artist/soon to be architect student. Is that I get scared to start making my ideas come to life. I'm such a perfectionist, I like being able to make something to my standards the first time I do it. I don't like failing at something even though I have many times before.
Very inspiring... I love it! I feel lucky to be so close to your creative process. Long life to 30x40 ;-)
This is so inspiring. Makes me feel better and less preoccupied.
Thank you!
for sure...
Thanks for everything you give me some motivation for my study, I started thanks to you ! :)
Eric, that is a badass video... so inspiring. Keep doing what you're doing! [ making things ;) ]
That's what makes it all worthwhile..
This video touch my heart 🙂
so fantastically uplifting to hear...
Ummm i Love it !! your videos are amazing ! i really enjoy watching it ! a masterpiece ! such a quality , in everything; the idea, the show, the story, materials, studio, you..... thnx a lot Teacher i really appreciate your work !
kind words...much respect...
what an inspiration u are! truly blessed to have watched this!
Wow, taking it to a new level, Eric. Technically, artistically and emotionally nailed it.
Thank you my friend...very meaningful praise coming from you! Wasn't sure how it would be received but the creative challenge was reward enough...hope you're well...
DUUUUUUUUUUUDE!!!! Love it bro - Thanks for sharing this was amazing!
10-4 chief...of course...
thanks，im a very nervous about my architecture student career，im tired of repetitive work，and im nervous about the uncertainty of design idea. You let me know maybe many architect same with me, i feel optimistic again. Thanks from CN.
I had killed the dream, your channel and content woke me up to dream again. Thanks
So inspiring man! Keep going Eric you are doing so well!
thank you rodrigo...appreciate the support my friend...
My daughter (6 years old) and I just happened across this video together whilst looking for sketching instruction. She says it's nice to know that an adult who is a professional has the same struggles she has in first grade (especially the challenge of repetitive work). I think she was also impressed that you use a glue gun to do your work :o) Thanks for sharing this beautiful video - you have two new fans.
Really like your videos a lot....
U r an inspiration and the one who clears so many doubts for an architecture student like me...
Thank u for such good content....
cheers...glad to help...
Your videos are inspiring and motivating, keep up the good work. Nice drawing technique BTW!
2 year university student architecture, Belgium
Nicely done Eric. I am growing into a fan.
