All I feel is lost. I don't know what I'm in uni for. I don't know why I'm studying it. I don't know if I'm whining or if this is hos architecture schools really are. The most my teachers do is critique our models, tell us to read books, and grade what we do. There isn't a class where they've sat and given a demo of how they engage with architecture, do design process, or show us how they personally think and brainstorm when working on a project. It's a blank slate for us to carve into, and we're scrutinized when it isn't imprinted with what they want. I wish I didn't feel so hopeless as to having to consult you every single time I come out of their classes to make sense of what they really want from me. I wish I had a tutor who I could watch and then derive my own formulas of working from. Books just don't cut it for me, I've never learned that way because visual assistance is so important to me. Your channel is so important to me. Thank you.
you really nailed it. Im feeling the exact same way at the moment. We are being plunged into projects without really having been taught how to think and formulate a process for designing.
@@aatone4530 Me too, I’ve contemplated dropping out but I genuinely don’t feel like I have any back up plans for that. I look at final years work as a first year and start developing anxiety if I don’t have that skill and creativity by then.
Hey, how's it going. I am a first year and I am feeling the anxiety of not being able to think of good ideas. It's been at least 2 years, how are you going? Honestly, I hope that I can be able to complete this program.
Hmmmm. This is a clear report that students pay for schooling but are never taught. They are taught by grading them for what they were not taught. I think a lot of the lecturers themselves don't know these things because they may not be practicing. Our first assignment in Architecture school was "Architecture or ArchiTORTURE?, discuss!" What a evil way to start teaching. During my days there was nothing like CZcams, so I think you should still be very grateful. 20years ago I had to learn the hard way, following practicing Architects and going to site.
I'm a student about to graduate in Architecture and Urban Design, and, as anyone in my place, I have a lot of fear and insecurity about my future, my creativity, my projects, clients, etc. Your videos are a huge help and inspiration. Thank you!
always remember that you're in control...you get to choose the path that best suits you...intimidating, of course...but liberating too! thanks for watching...
As a new architectural designer, this video is one that I need to listen to several times to absorb. If my goal is to become a licensed architect, then architectural philosophy, which I believe part of this video is about, has to be one I invest more time in. Thanks
i am a final year architecture student in India. Just found your channel yesterday and i love it. It is so helpful i even directed my colleges to your channel. Thank you for giving such an amazing insights. This helped. With love and gratitude, Kajol.
@@shubhangikhandizode478 architecture is stressful, it requires a lot if work many many assignments submissions and redos, if you think you'll like it then you must try it.
The period between incubation and illumination when the illumination comes I cant wait then to document it and move to completion. All the work and procrastination that goes before is the most difficult time of any project i undertake. Glad I'm not alone. Keep sharing and keep not just making but making the best you can. You are an inspiration and I humbly thank you.
I'm a first year Architecture student and I'm really glad that I bumped into your channel! Your ideas are mind-blowing and so inspiring. It made me love and appreciate this field even more and it's like making me see things now with a new and broader perspective Thanks a lot!
I love these sorts of videos where you talk about how to think about things or philosophy on things. It reaches so far beyond architecture and makes me think of how to apply it in my own life. Thank you for sharing your passions and helping to inspire me and others to create something meaningful.
I have watched all your videos and always find the way to keep trying. I'm an architecture student in Chile and everytime I feel the same way, like "Do I still even have what it takes?" or "Will be able to be an architect in the future?". So I have to thank you, 'cause you, and your projects and your videos have given me, the inspiration and the strong to keep going. Thanks for everything, you gave me new perspectives.
5years later, I am finally understanding how useful this video is! Thank you so much, I have been stuck with my theoretical project for days. And actually all I need is to realise, it doesn’t have to comply with everything that I set out to be. The word anti-project really clicked. Thank you so much.
Dear Eric, Thank you for taking the time to create these brilliantly curated videos. A lot of your videos address the type of questions and solutions that we or at least I generally might not ask someone else at this point (As it's already assumed that we are supposed to have a proper understanding of all things architecture when we step out of architecture school). I've mostly worked for firms which generally doesn't leave any of the design to juniors. Now that I'm starting out on my own, your guidance and wisdom make me feel empowered to discover architecture in my own terms. I'm sure a lot of us feel the same way. I just wanted to take the time to let you know how many of us deeply appreciate your videos and thoughts. Thanks again :)
You are truly an inspiration! I’ve always struggled with coming up with new designs and now you have opened my mind to a new way of thinking! Thank you so much!
You always churn up my emotions and dream of becoming an architect. Life kept me from going for a bachelor's and I stayed in the industry to design and build custom homes for the past 25 years. I realized my process closely relates to yours and Graham's. I enjoy your content because your giving me a small taste of the education I missed. Keep it up, you're my social mentor. It's your choice of metal to get creativity kick started. Same!
I find switching from projects in different phases keeps ideas flowing. Bidding phase on one project can transition nicely to preliminary cost estimate in schematic design of another. Reviewing existing mechanical drawings on a project in early design phase transitioned nicely into answering an RFI about a roof cap detail on one project in construction. Just a couple examples from my Friday. Nice editing work. Thx
This is one of the most clear, fun and heavily inspiring videos I have watched on your channel. THANKS SO MUCH. I am in architecture school and can use every piece of intelligence you have given here: in life and school both💙
I'm a final year in architecture from the Philippines. Thanks to your ideas, philosophy and ur conceptual framework sir. It helps me a lot in my design problem-my thesis.
I use many different things to inspire my project (books, Pinterest, Houzz, old project, coworkers ...) When it doesn't work anymore or I'm stalling, I put the project aside and work on Something else and comeback later. I've learned that my incubation period for me as to come by itself, I cannot force it to arrive or my design is poor. It's like you've said; laying an egg !
as much as I remind myself that it will come - and it always does - it remains a source of background insecurity/anxiety until I flesh it out...you sound more at ease with the process than I +David Landry...thanks for watching...
I am not an architect but I kinda feel turning into one after watching this video, maybe learning basics of architecture. I am a structural engineer, I think we( I as a structural engineer) all go through the same process. You're an inspiration.
I really like this video, especially the quote: nothing is truly new, it true , even the great architects and the founders of modernism like mies van der rohe who was inspired by the works of Frederic scheinkel and also le Corbusier when he visited the desert of Algeria and discover the local architecture and he said this is a lesson of architecture,,,, thank you a lot for your videos , really great job.
Another video which is openhanded. I've definitely picked up quite some good tips from your channel. Keep up the good work Here's a less condensed Ideation process: Definition Information gathering Analysis + Inspiration Reflection + Solution Presentation And lastly Improvisation Thanks again for the insight! Good luck!
will do...thanks for lending your expertise and sharing your process...fascinating and well put. and of course, improvisation...! how could I forget? cheers my friend...
Love your series of videos you've posted over the years. I'm still working my through them all. They have been inspirational and clarifying, while also serving to be springboards to deeper study. I'm in the user experience design world, but have found the problems being addressed by architecture, as well as the problem solving approach to mirror what we do in UX as well. Thank you greatly for the hard work you put into creating these!

Thanks for sharing such knowledge and inspiration! My school is a bit prehistorical, nothing new, no good books, we don't go further than classics, EVERY recommendation of books are treasured by me!
One of the most beautiful videos I've seen on architecture (and on your channel as well). The whole script that you'd have written, every word that you spoke, all of it made sense and was true. Thanks for sharing such amazing content!
It's so difficult to keep our minds open and in the process of creativity all the time. Thank you for reminding me of not to stand in one place and constantly looking for inspiration.
Even if I'm 30 years old now but I still interested in architecture ,and I have so many ideas in my mind and ,many thanks for you let me know so much good ways to approach ideas ,I'm Chinese so I can't even completely understand what you teaching but I will keep following , cheers !
you inspire me soooooooo much. I'm only a high school student and I'm studying maths and physics. my career in the future is to become an Architect. seeing you inspire me so much. makes me know I'm ready to become this and to put in alot of effort and work even harder in school. This is my dream and I hope to encounter it one day. I love ur videos and I'll keep watching it Thank you
Thank you 😊 as always you videos are just amazing. You became an inspiration for me simply because you give advice even my teachers haven't gave me before. So thank you again. PS: yes I find blank page as terrifying as you do but I think its part of the process 😊
Eric! what u r doing is beyond inspiring and amazing....my deepest thanks to you for sharing with us all the beautiful thoughts you have or find in this amazing career of creating and making things...cheers to U
SOM knew something about architecture, indeed. But there are efficient algorithms (from other than architecture crafts) that allow to skip any incubation period and idea crises.
Do you hace any advice for people who have too many ideas? Whenever I'm designing, I'll be going over over twenty different ideas and it's really frustrating since I'm not sure what to do or pick. Right now on my final project, and I feel terrible, I dont even have a strong floor plan yet!!😕😕
yes...tip #7 (subtracting to solve)...are the twenty ideas different ideas or variations of one? if twenty different ones, then perhaps what you've found is that none are particularly strong or compelling enough to stand out. in this case all twenty have to go. search for one that's meaningful, one that draws on: site, context, light, function, user, movement...(pick one). good floor plans follow strong ideas. hope that helps!
love your channel Eric...👍👍... am a architecture student in India can you please make a video on how to analyze site and how does case study help in design process....or suggest any bok for the same...?
Excellent videos. I have always been fascinated by "flow," how humans move through a space and how, as designers, we can control that flow with structure layout, furniture, color and even texture. Texture can draw or repulse, color can create moods which morph into emotions. I truly love design and wish I had continued my studies. I still do all my drafting by hand with simple tools. AutoCAD takes all the fun out of it for me.
This video particularly helpful for me to explain to my students about the design concept development. You have a good way of explaining the process so simple yet inspirational. Keep doing what you do and it will help many new designers for the future.
Hey I love your channel... I'm an architect student unfortunately I haven't worked on a lot of projects... But I have one big project I have been developing for years now... So whenever I'm doing a new project I keep some major characteristics I have picked along the way and sort of add it as my language in every new project I start.
That’s right…at every project beginning, I have a blank canvas that is really intimidating. I personally feel that ideas would come, but it would be very useful to me to rather know construction details, the materials and technologies, plus their cost, very well to be a good architect. In other words, I have to know the components well before getting creative because I know the boundaries then. Also, I look at architectural projects as negotiations. You constantly have to negotiate with the constraints, what the client wants and needs, your own taste and ideas… it’s a process. Also, looking at all sorts of projects from different backgrounds and studying them will really open you up on the possibilities and the technology available now.
When I'm transitioning projects, I take some time to learn about something entirely unrelated to anything I do. I'm the director of a social services non-profit, so I'm learning about the architectural process between tasks now.
Thank you so much, the video helped me a lot !!! What I usually do to get inspired, I visit the site with a camera in 3 to 4 different times in the same day. There will be something different every time I go, light, people, colors, traffic! also, there're things that the camera can't capture (which are usually good aspects to start with)
This was a great video, thanks! I love the way you share you knowledge. I'm an ecological designer mainly for farms and private home. What you share is of great value for all designers, not just architects. Thanks again!
I’m a years 5 architecture student in Cambodia. I really like your channel so much. It’s helpful. can you please make a video on expanding to first client that they don’t know about design.
I usually run 2 large projects at the same time. Before lunch, one project - after lunch, another project. Switching between projects - their differences allow me to come up with new ideas. I am thinking about solving the problem of one project - and solutions of the second one come to my mind.
Love your videos. They are so inspiring. I have just completed my studies and I really want to know what are stages of doing a project. For example, once I get a project what will be the following steps that I should take to get that done. Please make a video on it!🙏🏻
Here's a playlist you should start with that walks through the process: czcams.com/play/PLuJj3iQpiK3v7tqYStltImkMxe2iu-l_L.html And there's the architecture short course which does a similar thing: czcams.com/play/PLuJj3iQpiK3uPL5PaDjPUS3vQbS2UtHC0.html
and this one is also very much helpful and informative as the previous ones for me as an amateur architect :) keep posting like this (y) btw, can you please make a video on the frequent mistakes of choosing elements/shapes or planning by architects ?
I am very excited about where my person is with my current residential ideas. Hoping to build a simple portfolio. After dat..... Stay at step 1 st. Lol
oh my goodness. Thanks so much for your instruction in this video. I feel like I can fly. no just joking. your teaching me time management and about concept..I know this is going to be a 30x40 design workship watching day.

This was a great video, thanks! I love the way you share you knowledge. I'm an ecological designer mainly for farms and private home. What you share is of great value for all designers, not just architects. Thanks again!
I'm in my final year and watching this while doing mundane photoshop work. This is like essence of an entire architectural course! 👍

I usually run 2 large projects at the same time. Before lunch, one project - after lunch, another project. Switching between projects - their differences allow me to come up with new ideas. I am thinking about solving the problem of one project - and solutions of the second one come to my mind.
Nice...I like that approach...
These videos are so good. Thank you for sharing!

Awesome. The architecture professor I wish I had in college.
Love your videos. They are so inspiring. I have just completed my studies and I really want to know what are stages of doing a project. For example, once I get a project what will be the following steps that I should take to get that done. Please make a video on it!🙏🏻
