- We spend 7+ years studying to become an architect, but does it actually prepare you for the profession or are those 7 years studying architecture wasted?
I interviewed 15 architects, graduates, interior architects, designers and drafters to answer the question "does architecture school really prepare you for the architecture profession?"
These interviews were for the full length architecture documentary "Behind Closed Doors - The Life of an Architect". Do you ever wonder what an architect’s day involves? The life of an architect is revealed in this full length architecture documentary.
This video is a shortened version of the documentary, digging into the specific question of "does architecture school really prepare you?"
You can check out the full 90 minute documentary here: • Behind Closed Doors - ...
Studying architecture is a long and tiresome journey. It takes at least 7 years to gain architectural registration (an official license to call yourself an architect). Those 7 years are spent model making, sketching, drafting and mastering the various architectural software available. There's no doubt that it's one of the most intense learning journeys you'll experience in your life. But, does it really prepare you for your career in architecture? Or, is attaining architectural registration only the beginning of your education?
In this video, you'll find the answer.
I hope you enjoy!

Don't stress, everyone has this moment of existential doubt!
Getting started into and marketing yourself for the workplace is something that (my) school really let me down with. But hard work prevailed.
For the beginning of your career, the best tools are your colleagues and work ethic. What will prepare you more than anything is knowing how to put in a hard days work, not holding anything back.
-(Been working about 5 years in Chicago, USA) Thanks for the videos and teaching this guy Revit.
Great advice and feedback Samuel. Thanks a lot mate!
I appreciate the kind words too. Thanks for your support :)
Am a novice in the profession Architecture
I need videos that will guard me through from floor plans to no limits
Hey Kyle, I like your new graphics, the channel is getting better and better😃
Hey Peter, thanks a lot! I appreciate your support :D
This is so important to know, thanks mate!
Glad you think so! Thanks a lot
in my case , the education that gave me the university was very poor in so many aspects that the real life work demands you, because in my own small experience , is so fundamental teach the real things that construction means , in social- economic aspects . and the use of the new softwares is so important to improve your skills that is your right hand tool for your entire life .
You're exactly right. But as mentioned by a few of these architects - a lot of these things you can only really learn on the job. Although, I'm sure there a lot better ways the universities could teach or introduce those aspects to a student.

Is that a Master Yi reference? 😂

Thank you kindly James!
Answer No! need another 2 years as OJT, later assistant architect after passing the exam! In the Philippines, its better to work 1st in medium sized Arch. office for at least 6 yrs before going solo. Best is working overseas specially in Middle East or China for the latest design concept.
amazing content, a thing or two to take home with... Technicality will reach full potential on site.
Thanks a lot :)
I still want to do it but wasting times on courses just want to do my own building, it's model and some SketchUp cad things
Thank youuuuuu soooooo much for this video..I enjoyed and learnt sooooo much from it.This is the same conversation I've been having with a few friends for a while now.Just started my architecture internship and realised booom😅😂everything seems soooo different over here.It was like i hope I've not been wasting my time in school for sooo long rn.And the gap was really wide because I'm in a very big firm so seeing and relating a lot of things to the outside world just made me realise that school really can't teach everything
You're so welcome! Congrats on the new internship. Definitely can seem a bit overwhelming but hopefully the realisation that you don't need to know everything as a student can put your mind at ease!
What do you think of architecting the meta verse?
Haven't looked into it much. I can imagine it will take a bit more programming knowledge to be able to do so. Cool idea though. Sculpting a virtual world.
