Eric, EVERY and I do mean EVERY great architect spends their lifetime seeking out inspiration! Travel, books, art museums, workshops, personal study, outside interests - a lifetime of learning … that’s brilliance - not lack of creative ability. To even suggest burying one’s head in the sand is un-thinkable! I always look forward to your recommendations!
I used to drive a forklift. Now I do layouts and other design work at the same company. Your channel has been and still is a great source of inspiration and pure knowledge.
Two channels who's work I follow religiously 1) 30X40 Design Workshop 2) Life of an Architect podcast - Bob Borson and Andrew Hawkins Thank you for these videos Eric. These are the insights very few academics provide.
shoot dude, love your videos so much and im half way through my first year of archi school. Always look forward to your uploads and hope you are doing well!
I've have always appreciated how much you take on the resources around you and use them to their full advantage; from the content you showed in this video, but also the trends and new platforms in this day in age, Eric! Thanks for pushing yourself as a designer and as a person, because when you find what elevates you, you bring everyone else to follow in becoming the next inspired creator! Thanks again!
Thanks for another valuable resource Eric. Love the cabinet of curiosities “Now” section of the website. Just read your newsletter and it made me think of Austin Kleon’s Steal Like An Artist. As Austin reminds us “Every new idea is just a mashup or a remix of one or more previous ideas.” To continue the spirit of sharing great books I’d recommend all of Austin Kleon’s to anyone reading this comment!

Eric, I just want to thank you for all the effort and positive mindset you put in apparently everything you do. I am amazed, impressed, encouraged, and motivated. It’s beautiful to see an architect work and live the way you do. Bravo! By being true to yourself, and wanting to share, you contribute to lifting the condition of so many frustrated architects. Architecture will always be one of the most contradictory and frustrating practices, where one is constantly confronted with having to break through walls and climb mountains in order to get to the other side. Well, any way your website is on my bookmarks bar, and believe me I have hundreds of bookmarks. I hope I can share some books with you, I have a few highly inspiring ones. Books can be an extremely profound source of inspiration, they can simply change your life! Ebrahem
This video makes me want to get all of those books right now. However, I just embarked on a decluttering journey in my tiny apartment and I’m having a hard time deciding what is worth keeping. In your studio update video you talk a lot about organization, and in other videos you discuss your many essential tools for the profession. On the topic of books, found objects, or curating a physical “library” I’d love to know how you tackle the complex subject of acquiring and collecting these things while keeping them organized and prioritizing what is necessary over time. Do you periodically purge? Do you find equal value in e-books that take up no physical space? Maybe a future video or blog post would be awesome. As always, amazing video and thanks for the inspiration.
I have been watching your videos fo a long time and, for some reason I am yet to clarify, this is my first comment. Thank you for making your videos. A source for great inspiration.

Thank you for sharing, truly appreciate it very important to find inspiration in different disciplines. It does keep creative flow fresh, exciting and truly enjoyable.
I happened to notice your Coinbase link. I am very curious about your thoughts/ideas for crypto in architecture. And as always a very inspirational vid! Thanks!
In what type of architecture are you active, because as far as i know architects also work with the builders on the building site to guide them or help them. Do you work like that too?
hello,can you make a video about model making , when we want to made a irregular forms and curve and difficult forms of walls a floor, roof or landscape .thank you.
Hey! i have a general question! I'm applying for undergrad architecture - they want a portfolio with 10-12 pieces. i wanted to know, since they don't specify what kind of work they are looking for, it is alright to include one or two portraits of celebrities that i've done just as a showcase of my abilities? Asking this because I know that someone else has rights to the photos, personalities, etc. Thanks!
I have a question.... if it takes so long to be an architect what other jobs can I do to work in the field with architects? I’m a graphic designer but I love carpentry and architecture. Any advice?
hi, i am an architecture student first year, in fall i am taking design studio 1 and computer aid drafting 1. what do you recommend me to buy an ipad pro or a new macbook pro ? i have a desktop window Pc pretty good and macbook pro letter C( not powerful enough)
@30X40 Design Workshop So I would like you to ask which is best for software(architecture) IPAD 2021 or MAC because I'm worried about which to take MAC and IPAD has the same M1 chip but IPAD has hand sketching wherein MAC I can't do hand sketching :frowning: and also in IPAD u get the mobile version of software like AutoCAD Revit etc but in MAC you get the PC version so I'm worried about which to consider please help me by letting know which to buy..... (MAC=MAC 13"; IPAD=IPAD PRO 2021)
Someone once said; You cannot build the future if you have not studied the past. By this I’m sure they meant you need to study what worked and what did not…
Hi Eric, I've just read your latest mailing. Quite frankly I am staggered by both the ignorance and arrogance of some one implying that you have "zero talent' simply because you use books for ideas. The implication is that a talented person needs no other reference than their own brain. What a load of buffalo droppings. Does this person not understand that our minds are stimulated from seeing the work of others. Little ideas can be sparked by referring to books and other sources: libraries, art galleries, museums, the internet. The list is endless. Oh and don't forget about just going for a walk. I am not an architect although it was a dream of mine when younger. I ended up studying Mechanical Engineering and later Graphic Design. I am surrounded by books at home, thousands, covering all the things that interest and excite me about life. Art, design, architecture, engineering, computing, gardening, cooking and all manner of handicrafts. Life would be a miserable and less beautiful place without them. You can look through books many times over and find interesting, useful and stimulating things at different times depending upon your mood or the projects that you may be working on at the time. All I can say to you Eric is keep on reading, and to the person who made that statement go and buy a book. I shall now watch the latest of your many excellent, stimulating and thoroughly enjoyable videos. May you live long and architect. Kindest regards, Jeremy.

More books in my cart I see 👀
Bank account: 😰
All well worth it!
Well I guess there are other ways to present projects such as Isometric and orthographic projections, even through art I guess.
Hey 30x40 do you think it's a good idea to make a series about criticizing 1st year architecture student's project they sent you?
Hey! i have a general question!
