    Are you thinking of studying architecture when you graduate highschool? Perhaps you wan't to be an architect when you are older. Maybe you are working in another field and are thinking about switching to architecture. Is it a good career? Is it worth the change? What is architecture like?

    I was an licensed architect in UK and now I am a freelance web developer, test prep tutor and portrait painter. To be honest, if you like to stay in the office 10-12 hours a day and running project, architect is for you. I am a free spirit and I cannot stay in the meetings for too long. Studying in school is fun, but working in an office as an employed architect is a different story.

    • @Moochers
      @Moochers  Před 4 lety +38

      Hey! Thanks for you point of view! I feel the same way sometimes as well. Some projects are fun, but the business side of architecture is what I least prefer about the career. I mean the back and forth with the engineers via email, and meetings, and all that stuff. I also enjoy the schematic phase over the other ones as well so when I'm doing CD's, I tend to feel my days drag on.... I'm glad that you found other ways to make money that give you more freedom though, that's awesome!

If all this is true I'm going to have a miserable life, don't get me wrong, I love architecture and I don't want to do anything else, but I still might change my mind just because of money alone, seriously.

      There's no ifs and buts up to a point of decency. It's a hell to get to the point where you can work as an architect and it's absolutely normal to expect a certain return on your investment.

    One of your first points is about continuing learning about different spaces. Its my understanding after being in the industry for the last 3 years that is highly dependent on the firm you work for, likely you will learn about 2-3 areas of design. For instance, I work for a firm that does Churches and Schools, those are the primary things that we work on, beyond that every now and then we will work on a bank. However beyond that we do not work on other styles or areas of design. And this is primarily because of marketing. It is hard for a company to spread themselves out over a plethora of areas and styles, this is not productive for the company either. If you spend all your time spreading what you are learning about out over a multitude of subjects you won't be able to become proficient in one of them - thats just bad business.

There is also the toxic unspoken trend of who can work the longest in the office. While it's true if you plan what you need to do effectively it's not that bad, but when the work piles up and you're scheduled for more hours than there are in a month it can suck tremendously.

    Hey, Mooch. What do you think about time? Time, as in graduating late or not transferring to uni within the normal 5-year "time frame" some universities have for their architecture programs. I'm worried that I'll be graduating quite late for the degree. I've first did two years of Nursing prerequisites at a community college, but seeing that I don't have a passion for the medical field, I've switched majors to Architecture. I'm currently in my third year of community college literally starting from square one--taking all the required prerequisites so that I can transfer to the public universities for their arch programs. My supposed educational plan/outlook includes all the needed courses to transfer which would take me around 2-2.5 years. If successfully accepted to the architecture school of my choice, that would be an additional 3 years of school. Do you think that this is concerning? I know that students who got into architecture school (in my age group) two years prior would definitely graduate earlier than me, but still I can't help feeling that I'm way out of the loop. Thanks for reading, btw.

    I am proud to have the title Architect. A Chinese mentor in school cautioned us to not enter the profession unless that was the only thing you could do and be happy in life. For most of your life you will drive an older car, live in a smaller house, go through divorces and maybe lose your children, while engineers who have followed their focused path make twice as much. Architects are the last generalist to knowing something about everything and a lot about some things such as protecting life and property, human behavior, aesthetics and value.

      I think you should try learning about the profession from other perspectives - such as the business side of the profession. Here are a few books for you
      AIA Architects Handbook of Professional Practice (AHPP) - this book is great to learn about what being an architect actually mean. It's an expensive book so I'm not telling you to buy it, but if you can get an old/used copy, it might be worth your while. It can be very boring to read at times but I think it's a great book to start getting familiar with.
      Another book you want to get is the Architects studio companion. This is a great reference book to own. It condenses everything you should know about buildings. You can get the older versions of this book at very reasonable prices. This one is a bit more fun to read than the AIA AHPP.
      Note that these two books talk about what architecture is like in the "real world". The only reason I mention it is because school tends to focus on mostly design. This is great and all but then when you make it to the profession, you tend to be lost.

    • @Moochers
      @Moochers  Před 4 lety +4

      If you go to school for architecture, you'll take classes like history and theory of architecture, structures, design classes, technical drafting classes, materials and methods and professional practice. All your classes will revolve around architectural design. Here is the thing: the bulk of your classes will be your design classes. You have one each semester.
      Each semester you'll be given a design project (or a few) that revolves around a concept or problem. Sometimes you'll design an art gallery, sometimes a house, sometimes a building that deals with climatic issues, sometimes it will be something futuristic etc. It depends on the school. Sometimes it could even be a piece of furniture or object. It's tough to explain. Whatever the case, you are expected to thoroughly research the projects "program" and that doesn't mean you'll be researching for one week. No , you'll be researching for the whole semester to make your project a believable and accurate one.
      So if you're designing an art gallery, you need to learn what a gallery is, how it works, how art gets transported and maintained, how it is protected, how to you load / unload artwork, how many people go there and how do they deal with it, and so much more. In order for you project to succeed, you have to really investigate your topic.
      So to answer you question, you'll only study architecture, but depending on your projects, you'll actually be researching and investigating other miscellaneous topics as well.
