    It's ok, if you are actually a good architect, you don't need clients. You would know how to find ways to get money, build/design/sell your own property and make more money. If you can't do this, it means that you are not that good as an architect and you should start asking yourself why you can't do what I just mentioned. Now that the architect ego is gone, everyone needs an architect. We protect our clients from greedy real estate agents and contractors. The most important part is that we save and help make them money. How? By designing affordable spaces and enforcing quality constructions at a fair cost. Both of this enforces a better product that most importantly SELLS while saving money for our clients. This is why we don't need clients cause we know how to make money naturally. You need to be really really smart and knowledgeable to do this job and that's why not everyone can/should be an architect. You are really just setting yourself up for failure. You can pass the exam, get your license, and call yourself an Architect but in reality are you really one? Practice, practice, practice!

    I'm sorry if this is a dumb question but I want to be an architect, If you get paid to be an architect and the people you are hiring to be a part of your team need to get paid. Isn't that significantly less money and does an architect get paid a high amount of money?

    Hi, my son is a senior and I’m trying to help him figure things out for college. He enjoys drawing so I figure designer architecture would be an option, although mathematics aren’t his best skills. I’m open to suggestions since he doesn’t know what to study or what he likes. Any feedback will be appreciated. Thanks!

    • @kkriselle
      @kkriselle 3 роки тому +5

      You'll start off with basic math but end off with engineering math (statics, strength of materials & theory of structures)
      I failed math in highschool (44%) but loved and excelled in university, i finished off with 100% on exams.
      Give your son a chance to prove himself & have a leap of faith. If he's really passionate about it, he'll do everything he can!

      I use math everyday but it’s just feet, inches, and fractions. Pretty basic stuff. In theory and for exams we calculate loads for structural sizes but day to day it’s much more creative and technical. Like coordinating and communicating with client, builder and structural all the time.
      Hands down agree we are conductors and Jack of all trades. It takes time to learn about all the trades and the curve is rather steep. As long as he’s passionate about it and thirsty for knowledge he’ll do great. A lot of the learning comes from hands on experience and mentoring. Finding an employer early on who is willing to teach is critical.
      I wish I’d started earlier by getting on site. Maybe a local builder is looking for a laborer this summer before university? He’ll learn a ton and would help lead to a great career in the industry.

      Im going for architecture , like him i know how to draw but math is my weakness , i maybe enjoy physics but mostly i dont understand it .
      Art school is what i will suggest if he want to when it comes to drawing and designing although architecture is also designing , multimedia arts , animation , concept art , fashion design are too . Animation and concept art are all on multimedia art i guess .
      If he aant to really be an architect well they said theres not a lot of math i also saw that there first activity is drawing more on drawing designing , people just say it has a lot of math because architecture and engineer is kinda close and they cant really pin point the real difference of the two .my advice is to not be terrified at math (actually im saying tgis also to myself 😂)

      They don't exist due to poor college education. Being technical means you need to continue studying till 3am in the morning. Read and memorize the building code, including the plumbing, electrical, structural etc. That's really the MINIMUM you should know. Architects should know and be familiar with all construction systems.

      In short, an architect can do interior designs.
