You Can’t Solve Everything In An Architecture School Design Project. Prioritise
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 гру 2022
- Kevin Hui talking with Andrew Maynard (Austin Maynard Architects) about his revelation of learning that you do not try to, not possible to and therefore not expected to solve everything in an architecture design project at university. Pick your battle and prioritise what to focus on instead.

Two (qualified) guys on youtube giving free advice on what our lecturer should remind us at every semester. :)
Where was this video 6 years ago?! I only had this realisation very, very recently and boy it's helped a lot!!
I definitely got carried away trying to prefect the design, and yes it caused trauma wasted time energy work, hopefully final week pass peacefully
Spot on. I will remind this to my students. And for myself even with twenty years in practice I am still working things out in the field.
Doing the Adv Dip, I tended to think more about the working drawings in putting a design together. "Will I be able to detail this later?"
I was always trying to solve it before completing it.
...naturally, I fell behind a lot 😬
I think it's important to have some thoughts about it but it's a strategy first and making allowance than it is about solving it already
so spot on it's taken me 2 years to get this!
Great advice, and something all students should here. Some very valuable insights, and really knowledge that extends beyond university!
Waw, I really needed to hear this. I tend to always approach the projects with a 'I need to know absolutely everything of every mm of my proposal' mindset (which I know is stressful and hindering my potential creativity), where really it's just drawings, strategies that explain the ideas. Feel like I've just had an awakening... like a weight thrown off my shoulders. Thanks guys!
I have been there myself. Which is why I really wanted to make this episode.
It took me 5 minutes to realize that’s not real fireplace, instead an imac 🧐
Another fantastic video. Something I just realised after completing my final assignment for B.Arch
Lucky you. I only realised after finishing Uni
I wonder how you managed to become so successful so young.
In many countries, especially the USA, is almost impossible to even get your license.
Too Awesome, Subhan-Allah ❤✨️❤✨️!
Amazing discussion! This is what I need :)
Btw, I was halfway across the vid when I saw your fireplace. I thought it was real!!!! :D
this channel is a fortune that i have found
Glad you found us
That was inspiring
Uni archi project: Fake it till you make it 😂
I didn’t tell the story where we were told by some other students that we needed to work out everything. I was stressing about plumbing pipe gradient. My tutor was a principal of a semi well known practice of the time and he didn’t offer any help (nor did he seem to know the answer) when I asked him how certain things should be resolved. I know now what guidance I should have been given but this is challenge many students face who don’t understand the big picture. I was seeing that when I was teaching and at Archimarathon STUDIO now too.
Even if you tried, you could never solve everything because so much of a building is done by other specialties... You can only suggest the strategy.
This discussion reminds me of one studio master who would say “we don’t mark potential”…. Simply meaning solve the pertinent design issues through drawings.
Great episode 🤝
it's about finding that balance and knowing what needs solving and developing and other stuff not worth worrying too much about
I demand that you upload this video 5 years ago, I don't care how. Past me need to watch this video.
Past me need to watch this video and many others we made
True...
So what's the trick at a professional level post uni? Would love to hear a video on that with the same topics discussed in this video.
Don’t design too tightly. By all means think about it but have a strategy for things to change which often do
Yes, great advice! You can´t solve everything and you won´t.
Even in practice, in the design phase of a project, you don´t have everything solved at a glance. You add different levels of resolution with the different iterations.
"The main thing is to keep the Main Thing the main thing" I think I´ve heard this somewhere ;)
GOOD designers cut out a lot off time - time is money in the real world
KEVIN did you do a stint at UTS late 90s
I studied at Sydney Uni
Challenge accepted. Consider it done ☑️
Unfortunately this is not true at my university. I tend to get myself in trouble for not developing the design far enough, even when the backbone, or parti, is very strong. "It was too diagrammatic" is a criticism I've heard a lot.
Some of my classmates definitely take it way further than they need to though. Designing stuff that no one sees in their presentations.
Well it’s important to also go beyond being a diagram and it’s good to think about some of those issues and address them, but that doesn’t mean everything is solved. It’s also knowing what to solve. You can see Peter’s competition stuff actually had drawings that appears to be details
If you design using proven construction methods, you'll never get caught asking "how are we going to build this?"
Reinventing the wheel costs your clients a fortune, increases stress on the building team, as well as the design team, and there is no certainty that the solutions invented by the designers will work. That's how architects get sued.
