Almost everything. I believe architects have to be extremely meticulous and detail oriented which isn’t necessary for web design but to be a better web designer… it’s a must. I love the perspectives and focal points that you explained. It helped me see things differently and with a greater purpose when I’m designing. I like how one thing can abstracted into many forms, from pencil drawing to graphic overlays. All with one purpose, “how will it all work”. This has an overlap with UI/UX prototyping. Materials and textures give depth and feeling to web. Same in architecture… I mean I can go on and on 😂😂😂😂
Question: when drawing schematics how do u show certain details or interior design works in your drawings? Like for example if i wanted to add some somewhat detailed columns inside a building, how would i show the person who will build it how i want the columns to look like.
Multiple ways. The columns would be in plan and section, but if they have a specific manner of production, you would also create “detail” drawings at a closer scale (maybe 1:10 for a column, 1:2/1:5 for something smaller). Then you would express the material finish in the specifications and finishes schedule.
Hey, I’m a 15 yr old who wants to do architecture in the future. Most of the colleges I wish to apply later require portfolios as part of the application. As someone who has never tried out art or any form of architectural sketching I am not sure if I can get into my dream college. Do you have any advice?
Yes! Curtin University, where I teach, also requires portfolio for entry. What I look for in admissions is two things: 1. What are your skills? And 2. How do you think? (More important). We want to see that you are creative, passionate and willing to experiment. Start by practicing hand drawing basics, then do some creative experiments. I’ve also got some videos on my channel for portfolios, but these are portfolios for once you’re already in architecture, not before admission. Before admission we just want to see that you’re creative and experimental. Hope this helps, Chris
Hi Chris, 44 year old surveyor considering studying Architecture at Curtin via open university’s. Just wondering if you have any comments regarding online student graduation statistics and age diversity. Thank you for time and any feedback you might be able to provide. Cheers Abraxas
I teach in the online course too. Generally, but not always, our online students are mature age and have more industry-related experience than on campus. To my knowledge graduation stats are similar to on campus, but best to email the admin team to find out.
Thanks for making this. So helpful especially for the first year students.
You are welcome.
Very informative! Learned a lot as a sophomore. I'll be looking forward to seeing more content. Have a good day sir!
Thank you
Watching this as web designer. Really find this interesting.
Ah ha! And what are the overlaps or differences that are interesting to you?

@@ChrisMewburn i see thank you! And if i wanted to design, lets say a roof? How would i go about that? Sorry for the extra question 😭

I can't see it clearly, please help
That’s just a reference list from one of the students, not relevant to the drawing tips.
thanks, do you have others video in architecture?
Yes, lots of my channel; mostly technical tutorials though.
Thank you for sharing this. I literally did everything wrong, but this brought some clarity.
Glad it helped! Good on you for critiquing yourself and making improvements.
