The pros of becoming an architect
The worst way to make a decision is to base your choices off someone else's decisions. Why? Because people will want you to make a decision based on how they feel about whatever it is you’re deciding. That’s why I made the video talking about the cons of architecture and now I’ve made this video about the pros of becoming an architect. Because I want those of you who are interested in the career to get an objective, balanced description of the career so that at the end no one else has chosen your path but you. So let’s get right into it, and remember to reach out if you ever have any questions!
Now that we’ve made it to the end of the video, I have a question for you. And the question is : what is your favorite thing, your “pro” of architecture. It doesn’t matter if you’re just starting school, or graduated; leave a comment with your answer down below. I’m really interested to see what you have to say. With that being said, thank you for watching the video; if you enjoyed it press the subscribe button and become part of the community. Take care everyone , see you down in the comments!

Do you need to know mathematics to be an architect
The best thing about architecture is you become a photographer, video editor, illustrator, graphic designer, advertising arts, interior designer and list of creative skills go on and on..
yassss
Yess 🙌🏻
Couldn’t agree more
I'm a graphic designer, photographer, video editor, illustrator, advertising artist. But I failed architecture.
@@melterfiel9151 what did u study
Cons was a real punch in the face, pros really softens the blow 👌
Glad it worked out!
Agreed
but still a punch
It's good I watched the cons first lol
Ikr... after watching the cons i seriously began to reconsider doing architecture in uni
After studying architecture you will never see the world with the same eyes!
Very true!
How
How
Any kind of arts actually
I studied package design and I would go in market to get milk and would find myself study package or judging design 🤦
Nikoleta Cude I already do that😂
CON: You might lose friends and other relationships because of you becoming so occupied by schoolworks
PRO: You'll make new friends and will have a tighter bond with them because they understand what you are going through.
old friends will struggle to stay in touch with you, but you'll make new friends who get whats up and stick with you.
Exactly! I didn't lose all my old friends. The good ones understand and help you through the tough times. I swear, some of my high school friends were there at 3 AM gluing pieces sometimes haha.
Yep, Yep, Yep!!! a thousand more Yeps...
I lost touch with so many of my school and college friends, but then gained friends for life while gluing bits and pieces together.
Pfft I have no friends at all nor do I have the ability to grow with one especially I manage my life to be alone so I’m good
Authentic Sophia time should not be an excuse to end friendships tho,, i hope everyone knows that💖
Who is scrolling down the comments to make sure u chose the right major
Me 😭
I just registered for architecture bachelor degree
Me. I saw the cons first (right bfr this one) and im totally scared
Me😂😂😂
@@user-kv6sd9fv4y me too💀
1:07 "I really wasn’t too good at anything to tell you the truth.”
relatable
It’s a profession where, if you take it seriously, you only get better with age.
You may think you are good at 30 but when you are 50 you will laugh at what you did at 30. When you are 80 you hit your stride. It a profession that takes a lifetime of growth and development to see your true potential and that is something that never gets old.
This is a great point. The diversity of each project is one of my favorite things about architecture.
Aplease Answer. What if you started to Arch. school at age 31? Is it good carrer after or not? What's your opinion?
@@Gin.909 It could be the best decision of your life. Only you can define what a good career is for you. Most say, if you find something you love doing, you found the best career.
I think the best thing about Architecture is how it combines technology and art!
My biggest pro is that you can create designs that are actually physically manifested in the world that you can enter and interact with. I'd much rather do that than an office job where everything starts and ends on obscure computer documents and files
Yes! I 100% agree
Genius !
Agree, that's exactly what kept me from becoming a programmer, I'm just discovering architecture and I'm feeling in love with it, btw I see you in every video of mooch😂 you sound like a cool guy😂
Actually, you are not preserved from doing routine job, sitting with computer at office, even if you are an arcitect. Of course it's been said about the start of your career. That's my experience. Am I alone with that?
Are you an INTP?

Cons: *ARCHITECTURE CLASSES ARE THE HARDEST THING EVER*
Pros: architecture classes have a laid back environment
Tips:
•put your model in a cake holder thing so it’s more secure and easier to hold
•always backup your laptop
•TIME MANAGEMENT IS FUCKING KEY if u don’t have good time management u will have extreme difficulty with this profession
•when people are criticizing your work, don’t agree if you really don’t. Always explain why you did something if they are not understanding instead of sitting there quietly.
•while presenting, make your presence known in the room by standing straight, projection your voice, and making eye contact with everyone. Also I’ve realized that putting in a few jokes to lighten the mood is always a lot better and will make you presenting a lot easier
•finally, have fun. While learning in school, you will get chances to work without a budget and material shortage and just all of the things a real architect gets limited by, so really make your architecture the best it can be while your in school. The limitations of a real architect are actually quite helpful in singling out your design, but when you don’t have them having more creativity and fun with your project are very easy.
The best part is architecture allows you to get in diverse field from graphic designing to film making to set designer to interior designer.....and the list can go on.
Pro #1: Flex on Minecraft and Sims 4 cos your house actually looks half decent.
Great video mooch! Love these - love the drawing style and love the new intro. And merde to you!
How could I have forget such an important perk! Now I feel like adding that in and reuploading lol!
Thanks Barris! MERDE to you as well my friend
@@Moochers Hhahaha it would definitely be worth it!
Haha so true man
Yes Flexing on Sims 4 was what inspired me to choose architecture
Best thing about architecture is that it consumes your whole life beats to around, knocks you down many MANY times and you still crazy enough to still do it
Im graduating next year. For the past 4 years, i was struggling so much to the point that I cried alone while doing my plates. But thanks to my friends and classmates because we encourage and motivate each other in any ways possible. So thank you Lord 🙏
That's the move right there man. You have to have your architecture buddies who will help you through the tough times. Stay close even after you graduate!
My class mates are bunch of fucking assholes who only care about themselves , I wouldn't mind watching them die while drinking soda
What did you struggle with the most?
Carlos 406 i struggled with too many workloads in my earliest years. Those were the times that I am still learning to manage my time and how to work on my projects fast and presentable. Ofcourse when I talk about “workloads”, you get to have the most hectic schedule in the earliest years of architecture school. We had to finish 3-5 projects at the same time.
Faye A. I see, Well this is my chosen career. I hope I chose the right one.
Its been an year in Architecture school, and to be honest this year was most creative and encouraging year of my life.
During this year I faced two types of feelings.
#1. when there is the project submission, the day before that, I can do lots and lots of work and dont get tired, but sometimes when things do not move forward its heartbreaking but the next moment its fun and it completes somehow.
#2. When I see other people project and compare them to mine, they look like tons of work done on them but my own looks like a piece of cake in front of it despite the whole time and loads of work I have done on my project. But this feeling fly away when any other student, a senior student or family members come and ask u or admires my project.. "That is the mooost beautiful feeling" and it takes away all the negativie enrgy and tiredness away. And another is to help another student with their work.
All in all Architecture is proven to be a very creative and interesting field.
I'm so glad to see such a positive experience that you had in school. It really is an interesting field. Best of luck to you!
The best part of Architect is when you get in to a building which started right from a rough sketch of things like bubble diagram and finally you find yourself in something you have been imagining. I love moments like that.
I had an internship before starting college when my interest in architecture was still fairly new. I had worked on a model in SketchUp of my boss’s house. He told me how grateful he was because he finally had a way to show his wife the ideas he has for potential remodels and additions. His gratefulness is something I’ll never forget. Architecture allows me to make a difference in people’s lives!
That's a great story! There are so many opportunities to make differences in people's lives - never lose sight of that
Being an architecture student for a couple years now, your videos are pretty spot on. I’m honestly surprised at your sub count being only 2.9k. Best of luck man:)
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the compliment; really appreciate it.
Its the only thing I’ve found that has allowed me to express my creativity and overthinking into something that will help me for the rest of my life.
After 43 years as a registered architect, the thing that I love the most is seeing the look in a client's eye when they see their finished building for the first time. It's when their dream has come to life. If I've done my job correctly their dream has been fulfilled to 110% and I know I've done it well...until the next time when I want to do it even better.
The best thing about architecture is to create solutions to a problem. Architects are like scientist and artist in one
The best thing for me is that you’re never really bored, you’re always thinking, creating something, even if it means literally spend 20 hours doing one thing, and in the end you are rewarded with a bunch of lifesaving skills
I Love Being an architect because everyone knows that you can do all things in terms of design. :)
Right? It's a great perk. Also, you feel comfortable designing things outside of architecture!
I have graduated, and now I’m in masters. In my first semester I worked my head off and struggled. And I got marks much less than I thought I deserved. I just think architecture life Shouldn’t feel like this. Continous life struggle whereas it could be like other careers a little more chilled to allow you to recognize yourself too not only your work. To not lose yourself in the process which happens to everyone. I hope people start taking steps to change these expectations.
I agree 100% with you - it's something I talk to my friends a lot about.
Hm
My favorite thing about architecture is that is ties every aspect of life into one profession. At the end of studying architecture you are more educated in art and architecture history, knowing how to adapt designs to people's senses and minds, you are a genius at the computer-- editing, and designing, you learn photography and how to look at every detail of every aspect you will encounter.
👌🍻😃
My favorite thing about architecture school is definitely the critiques. Giving and receiving. Allowing others to view your work objectively and expressing their opinions is one of the greatest interactions you can have and is really rewarding if you can actively reciprocate this. When your peer take your advice and you see their works blossom it gives you an immense sense of satisfaction. We grow together. It’s competitive in the best ways.
What do YOU consider a pro of architecture?
The combination of creativity and logic that allows you to shape the world around you. Plus it's satisfying work.
Thank you for the video! I didn’t do my best cuz I was lazy. Now am 19 and am ready motivated and tnx to the school system in Nederlands I can still manage to get to study it but it’s really hard to get there and all have no time for other stuff. And now I have truly made up my mind thank you from the bottom of my heart 🙏🙏🙏
I'm 28, can I still do it?
@@hiraeth3751 is there a way i can contact you? Email?
@@titania8778 hey, yea sure my email is H.S.Grabchev@outlook.com
Thank you for telling me both Pros and Cons of Architecture. I am a first year undergrad now and I'm probably going to switch into another program. And although it seems that the program is difficult. It inspires me. I think a pro of architecture is the ability to train creativity and spend tons of time in flow states.
Hey Derrick! You're welcome. Thanks for watching! Do you mean you're thinking of switching into architecture now?
Being able to explore your creativity and get into the flow as you say is a great benefit of the career. It's probably what I most enjoy as well. Thanks for the comment, see you around!
From my perspective bigest pro is the amount of smart people that you get to meet and talk to. Through chat with them you get a bunch of new ideas 😍 love that feeling
My experiences in architecture have varied quite much. My best moments are sitting in studios, late-night and motivating each other to finish a project while having meaningful conversations with each other.
The engagement builds strong life long relationships both with teachers and fellow students.
I love how the understanding of society overall, how people act around a place, how their background will create a different interaction in situ and relation with a design is a perk for me, understanding others is a great perk for life
Confession, I like your cons video better. may be cause those were not really cons for me. but yeah.
And, my biggest pro- that you missed- is Architecture is fun as hell!!! (Tell me i'm not alone?)
regardless what you are working on. figuring out how to draw something that is all in my mind/some one else\s mind, then do a 3D of it and figuring out the proper drawings... it's really really fun. very difficult, but after every thing is done, the satisfaction is awesome.
Thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate it. I'm so glad that you don't see them as cons and I agree with you 1000000% it's soooooo FUN. Even at work; some days are tough, but for the most part it's really fun and exciting.
The all-nighters working didn’t bother you?
@@kongmanqueally7003 not at all. They were a little annoying but most of them were spent at the studio with friends so they felt like mini parties. Also, I tried to do my work every day so I avoided all lighters a lot.
@@kongmanqueally7003 I'm a night owl. So, all-nighters were a norm for me. I started working after 10 pm. Went to sleep after sunrise. My takeaway-
1. Sunrises are very beautiful, catch at every chance.
2. You do what's best for you- working all night wasn't anything special. working all day wasn't difficult either. I did both with different group mates.
3. having a working habit in the day, "may" help you in the professional world.
Totally agreed.
@Mooch
First class of my first year of architecture is DONE!! (With a A- and Labeled Top 3 of our class!!!) I'm going to suggest to my professor to link your video of the cons and pros as something as a "need to watch for the new-comers". I love architecture since I was a kid and nothing will turn me away from my dream. I think that your videos are spot on in describing the atmosphere of schooling. I'm going to keep everything that I have created except for process materials. it is a goal of mine to create Sky scrapers and I can't wait for 3rd and 4 yr studio to start creating what I've had been dreaming about since a child. Learning how to apply my visions onto paper, is the best feeling of all!
Plus we are living in the times of new and futuristic ways of viewing the world. our gen of architects are going to start creating so many great wonders! I can't wait to see new creations of buildings in the next 20 years. as we move away from the tall rectangular shapes and start to reach out in all directions creating monuments to the capabilities of what our minds can think of!
Awesome! Really cool man; glad to hear that. Good luck on your dreams and the future !
I'm 15 and started an online bakery since the pandemic but I was never interested to go to university to do that as I learn A LOT from youtube. I also knew that I wanted to have multiple streams of income to help with debts and finances.
I also realised that I'm very creative whether it's writing (on wattpad lol), creating aesthetics/covers for myself or other writers and promotions for my business so the practical subjects like nutrition, technical drawing and building technology was what i really enjoyed and architecture is literally a mix of the stuff i'm good at.
Thanks so much for this video!!! New subscriber from Jamaica ❤🌴🙌
Hoping to start architect school next year. My favourite thing about becoming an architect is that you can show how you feel by the things you design and learn a variety of different skills. Its just awesome. Pray for me, thanks. ✌
Nice! I wish you lot's a luck and hope you start your studies by next year!
Thank you for this video. You helped me realize a lot about myself and what I truly want to live to do.
That is really cool. I'm glad this video helped you out!
I love how diferent architecture is from other courses! mostly group projects, hands on and active learning
Yes! It's keeps you constantly learning and trying new things!
I recently started my second year at my school of Architecture- and boy do I love it. This semester, even though we're still using more traditional tools, we're being given more freedom of our designs, which is refreshing. We're being given realistic problems to work through, and I've noticed that I've been gaining confidence in myself as well! I always get nervous that maybe I've picked the wrong profession when things get hard, or if I'm not meeting my high standards, but then I remember how fun it is, and the rewards that will come after the hard times, and then things are better. These videos are really helpful to my mental state, so thank you!
nice video architect🙂🙂🙂 Im a second year architecture student and I think the best weapons in order to survive in the architecture course is being creative and hardworking
Thank you! Yes, and don't forget that a long with hard work, you want to work smarter as well. Plan your weeks so that you are not doing extra, unnecessary work, and are being efficient. Good luck!
Pro #1. You're always learning new ways to solve problems.
This is very true!
I watched the cons first as it was recommended to me. I got a little anxious as I'm starting first year next week. However watching this really opened my eyes to all the perks and benefits of this profession. Great video and I love the simple drawing style that gets your point across very effectively. 👍👍👍
Thanks so much! Glad it helped you! Best of luck to you :]
I have just started liking architecture after taking an art history class in my first semester of college. Thank you for the nice video and clever drawings! Now I have a better understanding about the life of an architect. Will be looking for more videos in the future.
That's really exciting! I'm glad this video helped!
Being able to design your idea in your head into a reality that will be appreciated by the people in the world for generations
I know! It really is amazing.
I'm only 14 (a freshman in HS) and can't really relate to the pros of this video and the cons of the other, but I will say that architecture is already at the top of my career list. I have talked with and interviewed many professionals and college students studying this field and I realize that even though it is said to be a very gruelling career, it would be an amazing creative outlet and great career option for the future.
For me it helps me to open the door of creativity ,which ultimately gives you an identity
architecture is the worst, i love it. the bonds you build from all the heartache and hard-work involved is like nothing out there. you learn so much about people when they're happy, tired, emotional, worn out and most importantly, yourself. you really get in tune with what chaos and peace truly mean to you as an individual because, trust me when i say this, you WILL be tested and pushed beyond your limits but when it pays off, the feeling is out of this world.
Absolutely true. Biggest part was communicating with others, I never thought I was the best at it during college but in the real world the only way to have your ideas realized is to be good at explaining it. That's to clients, engineers and colleagues.
Yes! Great point! It's so important to learn to communicate properly; the good news is that you get a lot of practice.
My pro of Architecture is to study people and their lifestyle; What people they are, how they live, how they work, how they speak or if how their environment has influenced that, in the weather, climate, materials and plants. These for me are an active force which drives my inspiration to create for lively hood a better place to live in terms of; Scale and size, efficiency which I relate with schedules and day today task flow. Ideally for me architecture shapes the users and the users shape the architecture.
My favorite thing is that you could design places that can be perfect to were live and can gives to the exterior a whole new look, is like you are doing a painting were you can live and other people can admire it
The reason why is that my ideas come to life, they manifest within my thoughts that is sketched by my hand and created in a piece of paper, I really like it when I just start from scratch then after I take some time focusing on the concept it all comes to life
People’s reaction is my favourite thing about architecture. I would draw forever if I got to see the amazement in people’s eyes when they see buildings
I'm a middle school student and being an architect is my dream. I hope I can follow my dreams and learn more in the future. I didn't graduate yet since I'm young so I guess I gotta practice more sos that in the future I can be good at it.
I’ll finish architecture school in about 3 months and I was so afraid about a lot of things, this really helped me, it truly is an amazing career
That's so awesome! Enjoy the last semester; good luck!
My favorite thing is when the judges in the final critique are speechless. And the feeling you get in the back of your eyeballs after doing computer work until 4 am.
My favorite thing is how Architecture connects with lots of different careers.
i wish more of these comments were from people with experience in the field, not just students excited about uni. the reality of architecture isn’t as fun as school. you’ll be a technician for the most part of your earlier career, just drafting / rendering other people’s designs. it’ll take 10+ years and knowing the right people to eventually be one of the designers. But each experience is unique
I'm in my second year and i can say that i manage my time more efficient , its fun that i can think outside the box and what i love is rendering and creatingg.
My greatest pro to being architecture school is that allows me to let that inner child out... The curiosity of life and everything around me... Model making is basically reminds me of playing with lego bricks
Hey! Yes, I agree 100 percent. It's pretty cool right? While your friends in other careers are writing notes, making PowerPoints, and taking tests, you're here drawing, making models, and designing. Super cool!
i think the best thing about architecture is being one. when someone hears your an architect they just seem fascinated by it. i rmr some kids at school askin me what work my dad did and whenever i told them architecture they were like "whoaaa thats so cool". also the other thing i want is the feeling of completing your first real project like a building. Also studying architecture to me i think it definitely chamges your character because you learn so many new things : you learn to be more punctual, be more creative and technical with your designs, u constantly have to challenge yourself which i think is very rewarding in the end. But you will only gain those rewards if you do put genuine effort into your work.
btw both the pro and con videos were actually very motivating to me. can u make a video on what architecture universities we should apply or how to choose the right uni or give a bg on how u got into your university. also a video on architecture undergrad portfolios and how you can make yours the best one 😁😁.
You made a lot of great points. You have a great understanding on what it's like to be in the career.
As for the videos you suggested. I'll add them to my list of topics I'd like to discuss and I hope to get to them soon. Thank you so much for dropping by and leaving a comment with you opinions and suggestions. Talk to you soon!
@@Moochers im not in the career yet , im in highschool but i have always wanted to be one since i was a 5, mostly because my dad wanted me to be one but i also developed a interest in it. I look forward to watching more of your videos they are a really help for me personally .also thank you for replying!
great video! I became a designer by mistake by accident. Now, I'm using Revit and designing houses, offices, and neighborhoods. My favorite perk would have to be the schedule flexibility.
I absolutely love the social interaction with all the others, feels like being part of a big family
Yup, it's awesome!
Best Pro: Creating spaces and atmospheres for other human beings. As architects we change and mold people's life's for the better (or worse!). And that idea fascinates me, you can make the world a better place a project at a time, and you can actually SEE it work.
I love that! It's great that you can literally follow your passion within the career and try to create projects around that passion. Then you can see them come to life and help those directly involved with it as you say. Great comment!
@@Moochers absolutely! Man do I love architecture. Hey, great content, really like the familiar feel you give your videos, keep it up the good work!
@@JuanCarlosNeria same here. Not to be biased but architecture is one of the best careers out there haha! Thanks for the compliment. I aim to make my videos as laid back as possible. Thanks for watching, I really appreciate it.
My sleeping quota has decreased tremendously and i m taking it in very positive way it allows me to work more and create more.
After watching the cons then the pros, looking up a few schools locally and out of state, reviewing the major map and curriculum and then accessing my own skills, I think Architecture is a path I’d want to go down. Thanks so much for the video! Definitely helped me make a clear decision on a choice I wasn’t as informed on before
I'm glad this video helped you a bit. Remember to keep learning so that you can make your own educated decisions!
Now I want to be an architect also i was surprised at how little subs you have the quality of the video is better than people with over 1 million
the best pro is discussing your view of the project for the client, and how it reshapes itself through the clients view of the project, creating a thing that's entirely different but will leave you both with a sweet taste of satisfaction
Great addition to the pro list!
The reasons why I wanted architecture is because of travelling, drawing, math, designing, and how genius it is. To be honest, I’m shy when it comes to public speaking too, but I shouldn’t let that fear ruin my dreams and future, right? All I need is to face it and become stronger, smarter, and wiser. But at first.... I’m actually scared because everyone says that it’ll be harder than the other work or courses. But I’ve made my decision, and that is to believe myself and become the person I want. THANK YOU FOR THESE VIDS! IT REALLY HELPS ME A LOT!☺️😊
🍻😃
i watch this to prevent myself from dropping out of arch school because maaaaan its HARD but all the comments really brings me new perspective into everything that i do! glad i click this video. not gonna click on the cons of architecture tho, it might be my last straw.
Dude i just wanna say ty❤, u just made architecture my goal, a dream job i guess😁.
Finally i got a goal , i was always kinda lost lul x)
Keep the hard work❤❤
Glad to hear that! ✌😃
My prof once said that Architecture is the superior when it comes to art because we design work of art with purpose
I have been looking for a backup plan if my sport career doesn’t work and this video has really got me looking into architecture, thanks Mooch!
Architecture, unlike any other profession is the art of building , drawing and making up.....There are more possibilities of other arts to be done parallel..And the more we enjoy architecture the much easier it will be......
Right as an architecture student....Know very lesser about.....But think would be better....
You covered many great aspects of the profession and university life, well done. For me it's because I love what I'm doing and everything about architecture. It allows me analyse and asses my surroundings and consider new possibilities of design and construction to help build a better future for everyone.
That's great. Really glad to hear you enjoy what you're doing! Architecture is one of a kind.
im so excited to be an architect soon after 2 years. i'll work hard
i can really relate with computer crashing a week before my thesis defense last year. that's why i failed and add 1 more year in architecture.
No way! I'm so sorry to hear that!!!
I study interior architecture and I gotta say we also come across those problems. I agree with every detail you pointed out. Making friends is the main key as you'll spend most of the time with them (group projects, sightseeing etc.) and as you said they can be a big support in the future. Now that you mension the computer crashing I was always scared of loosing my projects that I worked on for the whole semester, so I became paranoid and started saving my projects in every usb I own; didn't see it's benefits for now tho.
Thanks a lot for your video, you reminded me of why I chose this awesome profession.
Hey! Thanks so much for you comment. You could try using Google Drive so that you don't have to worry about your computer crashing anymore! Interior Architecture is a beautiful career. Great choice :D
@@Moochers Google drive can be useful, i'll try it; thank you)
Aaaaah Architecture.. I love it and the thing which i love the most from it was the PROCESS of doing a design. Architecture not only teaches us about only designing building but also help us in Designing our Life Which keep. Us Mentally Strong. Yeah.
Its amazing to be an architect atleast we are the ones who can create atmosphere for a person as their needs and for their goodwill.
Yes, it's very rewarding
Just started my first semester and I love it. I love your video, it really describedwhet I thought about architecture❤☺
My pro about architecture is the ability I am developing of visualizing spaces in my head and being able to design them and build them into models, it is magical😍❤👌
I'm really happy to hear that :D
My pro is creating the entire time, this is exciting❤️
My favourite thing about my career is that i finally have a group of people that appreciate my creativity and work. Ive only been taking classes since the start of the year but I absolutely love it. The ups and downs are part of what I expected when I decided to become an architect. Best decision of my life.
😃🍻
I’m just a kid who wants to do architecture in the future really.
The best thing about architecture is it makes 'work' a regular habit, just as food or drink. So we actually appear a lot more energetic in "non-architectural" works as those seem much easier!
I love everything about becoming an architect even the cons I love talking in front of people and I can take criticism very well I don’t really like to sleep or stay in the same place so being able to design anywhere is perfect the worst part might be missing concerts but I’ll find a way and the pros are only a plus to my already passion in life
That's great! Seems like you're a few steps ahead :D
freshmen here, really needed this pros and cons! really helped a lot!
I'm glad! Thanks for your comment! Good luck on your journey!
My favourite thing about architecture is that as someone who was so undecided about what career path to take, Architecture is one that allows you to interact with many on different projects. E.g, you may have to design a hospital, to do so you will have to learn about how to contain infectious diseases, which rooms need to be close to each other and why; Designing a home means learning to the lifestyle of each client; Designing factories means you need to learn what makes the production process efficient and design for that.... etc
Videos like these will help young people decide on what they want to do. Fantastic!
I'm 6 years into my career in architecture and found this video extremely helpful lol
The biggest pros of studying architecture is acquiring broad spectrum of skills. Skills include, beside creating plans and sections: drawing and painting (on a higher level than fine arts academy graduates), model making and sculpting, getting fluent in several graphic design and cad/bim software programs - you'll be a pro in Photoshop, Archicad and Blender (you'll be able to work as a level designer for a game company), get versatile in history of art, architecture and (inevitably) politics, learn to perform basic static calculations and costing process, learn building laws from several countries, get experience in the broad field of urbanism, landscape and interior architecture. Conduct surveys, collect data and writing essays, becoming an urban activist and so on... Most importantly - learn how to analytically observe the world. I bet no other major can provide so much.
You'll have to memorize plans of few dozen cities and several hundred landmarks from all over the world. So you can work as a tourist guide.
My pro is definitely the creativity... helps you in so many other areas of life
Getting to listen to audiobooks while working sounds mighty sweet.
way to go! get rid of that unnecessary competition for us, thanks!
I just found you and I already love your channel
One of the best things of architecture for me, is that it's something that involves drawing and creativity, it's something I'm used to doing, give a positive impact on the environment, and make a living out of it!
my dad wanted to study architecture but his parents wouldn't let him. i'm grateful for all he's done for me but *i feel like he's pushing his dreams of being an architect on to me, which isn't fair.* because i _do_ want to be an architect, but i want it to feel like MY DREAM, not someone else's. i wish i had never told him that i was somewhat interested in it because now i feel like it's not solely my dream anymore.. *i feel like i'm just living out what he wished he had.* i love art and i love maths and architecture seems like my only option, but i want to feel like _I_ chose it, not my dad, not my friends, because it's not his life. it's mine. i don't know if there are any other options for me or what to do with my life. if anyone can help or has any advice i would be so grateful.
I think you should talk to him. But not a quick conversation, sit him down, tell him how serious the conversation you are about to have is to you, and then tell him how you feel. See how that goes!
I just started architecture in college, and this is the first video of yours I’ve seen but I immediately had to sub.
I really love getting to play music or audio of any kind while working. I used to listen to instrumental for regular subjects but it’s nice to feel like I have time for the 70 minute video essays or whatever because I’m still productive- drawing, drafting, modeling, etc.- while listening.
If you don’t have one already, I’d appreciate tips on sketching, especially “props” like greenery and people
I love this channel so far tho :D
The best part of being in architecture for me even though i was just a freshmen. Is being creative, designing and i really like challenges now i feel like i was in a game. i was level 10 and i need to reach level 10000 before i graduate, sucks but i like it being miserable and killing yourself for i don't know. Just go with the flow if it's for me i will survive , i won't doubt myself it make me more productive if all my prof. Failed me or any sign that i need to shift because this is really not for me i well welcome and very thankful with open arms to shift and thank lord i was free joke. Hoping i will survive this because i really like to express myself and this course push me out of my comfort zone. And be the most powerful version of myself and thanks mooch for creating a video about architecture helps me a lot
I'm so happy this video helped you. Your mentalist is a good one to have in this career. If you are persistent and aim to get better, you'll go far. Good luck to you.
the thing about the model hit me so hard. that actually happened to me during my final plate when someone bumped me and i almost cried in the middle of the road when one of the columns fell off
Haha, I had a similar experience. It's funny to think about now but at the time your whole world was over, right?
@@Moochers exactly!
Working with clients to design something they’ll love
Great outlook! I love that :D
Architecture basically allows me to express my feelings and turn them to something physical which is quite incredible. And for the speaking part, same man i had the same problem in my first year, i was soo shy that i start shaking when it's my turn to talk !! But second year was a whole different level it was so hard and so soo busy and full of tasks that i had to speak in and so i changed for better😂💜
