Come join me as I review my first-year work as an architecture student. The good, the bad, the terrible. I share it all.
Doing so, you’ll hopefully learn what it’s like to study architecture. You’ll learn what you can expect to work on, what classes you’ll have and the individual projects you’ll need to hand in.
If you’re thinking about studying architecture, this video will give you an insight into what you can expect to work on in your first year of architecture school.
If you study architecture yourself and have been through your first year, please let us know in the comments below what that experience was like for you. Share with us your ups and downs. Share with us what others can expect to learn from studying architecture in university or college.
You may be on the other side, thinking about studying architecture. If that’s you. Let us know! I’d love to hear from you.
From this video, you’ll see that studying architecture is a lot of work. It requires long days, late nights and lots of concentrated hours.
Your first year of architecture school will probably look a lot like mine. It will involve big studio projects and some complimentary courses such as Design Construction Principles and Design, Culture and Environment.
Hopefully this video acts as a headstart to get you on the right track to figure out what to expect from architecture school.

What were your experiences of first year like? 🤔
I’m currently taking my 1st year rn!!
My experience is One professors assessment criteria is different from the other professors assessment criteria so I would get confused as to what's important and most professors just look at the aesthetics of our composition they don't look at the dimensions of the space or space arrangement it's just the stupid aesthetics of the sheet
@@jairahbautista5143 Yeehaww! How are you finding it so far?
@@rohithpadival6022 I feel that my man. Design is subjective!
Wow, i recently finished my second semester and this was our full online semester, because of corona. It was interesting and chaotic at the same time. Like we still had to work with partners and that was challenging. We could just discuss things only on our phones/Skype and just one person could build a model. We were also very confused because usually the second semester is hand drawing heavy, but it was difficult to do that online. I really enjoy your videos!!! I just love how I can relate to almost everything you say :) Keep up and even more people and students will see, appreciate and relate to your videos!!!!!
Please do more videos like this and if you run out of projects then freaking invite others to share their projects.Make this a series
Thank you so much for the comment Tanvir, that's actually a great idea! I've always wanted to interview people about their individual projects but have never gotten around to it. You've definitely revived this thought!
thank you so much for this! i'm currently in my first year of architecture and i'm terrified!
You're most welcome! P.S You've got this! One step at a time :)
ArtsyDeedee that's year of your comment, what's happening now? pls i want to study architecture and i got questions
My first semester was for me the best & the worst time at school: I enjoyed all the new things I could learn - we had some really cool experiments with materials, lots of drawing & math, typology. We were using software a lot from the beginning (I learned 6new software in 4 months). On high school (difficult one) I was with little to no effort B student - that + poor time management caused that I almost dropped out. I improved my strategy during 2nd semester that was still very hard+pandemic. I chose a studio where we were designing things for a festival that we would actually build, in the end, we couldn't. My 2nd year stared online, but well. I just hope I can finish the way I stared or better.
Thanks for sharing Anezka! I'm rooting for you this semester. Keep up the great work :)
@@kylesinko Thanks 😊
I'm 16 and learning about what to expect for arch school through ur videos! Although I'm not 100% decided, this gives me a better insight on the things i should prep for. Thank u so much!!
Go for gold! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks :)
I’m at the end of first year rn. I have to say that this course is very fulfilling when you make a great design and see it through until the submission day it feels good. I also have to admit that it’s a lot of course work but I’m extremely dedicated to do the work idk I just find it satisfying doing the studio work and ticking off boxes on the submission requirement sheet. The other modules are alright but the construction one is not my favourite but i really think it’s the most important one.
Couldn't agree more. Lots of work but very satisfying and rewarding.
It looks so hard especially your 2nd semester hahaha. I got excited but at the same time scared? In your 2nd semester projects like the science and the math involved does your teachers help with that or teach you or did you just research everything on your own cause that looks so hard. Thank you for the video, keep up the good work mate :) (sry if my english is off its not my first language)
It's really all taught to you as you go, your teachers will definitely help you. There's nothing to be scared about, remember, it's expected you know nothing to begin with! Thanks mate :)
Well my first year involved too many things- drafting BMCT sheets , working on my design and making lots of models , structures, measured drawings, learning history of architecture, doing assignments etc.. but at the end I felt I couldn't gain much knowledge as I was busy continuously doing assignments . I felt like I needed space to breathe , understand on how to apply these topics
And thank you so much for sharing your experience of 1st year in architecture. It reminded me of mine.
You're so welcome Darpana, thank you for sharing your first year experiences!
It's always a throwback down memory lane thinking back to your first year work. But there's so many good lessons and thoughts to retrieve from it. Sometimes we forget these lessons!
In my final year at Uni SA now watching this getting nostalgia, love your channel mate keep it up
That's awesome! Thank you for watching mate. Good luck for your final projects :)
Thank you for this. I am a landscape architecture student first term this was really useful to see how much you can develop over time.
Glad you enjoyed it! Good luck with your studies :)
Thanks for your video. I've applied to a Master's program, without an arhitecture background. Your video helps me to understand what I might expect.
That’s awesome! Good luck with your program and thanks for watching
I'm towards the end of my first year of architecture school (welsh school of architecture). It's really interesting comparing my experience so far with yours. Because everything is online this year, EVERYONE is using sketch up and AutoCAD on our final project. Really enjoyed this video!
Super interesting. Thanks so much for watching Fin, glad you liked it!
I recently discovered your channel bro I'm not good in sketching but I'm working on that currently in year 11 higschool I'll do my exams soon but i don't imagine myself being anything else other than designing and being an architect coz since i was 12 i was always amazed at how detailed buildings are and i want to be apart of those people who detail everything about a building and see my work concretely
Thank you sir this is really encouraging.
Glad to hear, thanks for watching :)
Wow, love your vids, great content! I was hoping you could make a vid explaining materiality, structure and the basic things you should remember to include in section drawings. My tutors want me to produce drawings like 20:47 and 20:50, but I've not been taught this, so I'm struggling since I can't find any good YT videos explaining it :(
Thank you!
Thanks Halima! That's a great idea for a video. I'll add that to my list! You're right, there isn't much information out there on it. I'll see what I can come up with. Thanks again
thank you so much for your videos they are so helpful. Now in my second year and I passed my first year studying in Russian and I did not understand anything the lecturers were saying🤣😂 . I thank my high school teachers for teaching me these otherwise I would have been totally lost, lol first year was just terrible for me but fun as well.
You're most welcome! Thank you for watching and commenting Anke :D
I cannot even imagine how difficult it would be to study architecture in Russian (or another language in general). It's hard enough as it is!
loved the vid dude
I'm glad! Thanks for watching
Your work is incredible.
Thank you so much!
I'm new Here From Egypt And I Loved Your channel :"D much love for you :))
Thank you my man! Really appreciate that. Much love back
Hi! Really informative :) I’m currently a sophomore and I’m planning to major in architecture in college! Is there anything I can do right now to prepare for architecture in college? For example projects, summer programs, internships etc. One more question, do I have to be really good a sketching to be a successful architect? Thanks!
Hi Chloe. Thanks a lot. I wish I had spent a bit of time in the software we use before starting architecture school. I recommend playing around with Sketchup, Rhino or Revit if you get a chance. Nothing too serious, just have some fun with them if you get a chance. Try and build your motivation/passion for it more than anything, like you're doing watching videos like this! This should answer your other question:

Cheers
lol just about to start arch school ...ill comment back exactly one year later from today and say how it went
Haha wicked! Good luck mate, you'll smash it I'm sure.
4 more weeks till I finish my first year which has been all online. Pretty much a lot of CAD and minimal hand drawings. Which is quite different from what has been on the syllabus for the previous years so I'm interested to know what happens when we get to the campus 🥶
I really feel for people like you who have started architecture in the midst of Covid. Doing your whole first year online would be rough :(
Good to see you're chugging along through it though! Keep it up!
I’m in 2nd semester in community college in the US And fell like they don’t teach you anything besides the softwares . Nothing about model building and materials what should I look into studying
My professor “lost” my portfolio for my first ever project, I found it gave it to him and he lost it again. I’m convinced he has something against me
More than likely ahaha. Unlucky for you
@@kylesinko 😞
I passed 50% of my first year in Architecture studying on line unfortunately so we didn't have the chance to practice a lot .. despite everything , I'm grateful about the project I'm working on right now (final project for the second semester) and yeah we didn't finish the year yet because of the pandamic "COVID-19" ... But i actually learned a lot from the first year and i hope I'll make more improvements next years ❤️
Awesome to hear that you can deal with the hardships you have to face Nesrine. It's tough, it ain't easy, but you're doing it. Good on ya!
Thank youuu Kyle 😊
Does first year involve a lot of hand drawings? How much computer aided softwares do we use in first time?
It sure does! Pretty much no computer-aided software. I used Sketchup for my last semester Studio but this was not a requirement. Most universities keep first year analogue.
My first year was based on theories and fundamentals, didn't have so much practical learning. It studied math, physics, urban planning, history of architecture, design principles and freehand sketches and the likes
Hmm that's interesting! Ours was very heavy on practical work. Is your second year more practical I suppose?
@@kylesinko Well yes,though I'm not through because of the pandemic delay.So i can't say for sure how far the practicals would go
I want to ask if you need a good laptop on the first semester? Or you have to have a good one since the very start
Most of what you do in first year is hand-drawn or physically modeled. You don't NEED a good laptop from the very start as you won't be using it all that much, but considering you need one eventually there's no reason to grab grab one in the first semester.
@@kylesinko umm not sure if you,ll respond but does this make alot of money or....
Cause I want to be rich from a young age also is it the same as interior design
I’m in my first semester at RMIT and it is very CAD intensive. It might differ between schools but you can find out info in the course guide and search up the course and programme codes
How many presentations you have to do for semester1 ?
I had to do 3 for studio (one for each project) and 1-2 for other subjects
❤
I am 33 and I think its time😈
Yes! You've got this
