The unfortunate thing about school is they teach and use software that isn’t used for shit in the real world. I’m a student and I’m learning the hard way. We’ve been using rhino for years and now every job I look at needs revit. If you’re gonna use rhino you should also learn the absolute shite out of grasshopper
The best combo for me is Revit for BIM and SketchUp+Vray for rendering. Lumion if you’re feeling fancy.

I use PCon planner from Eastern graphics. Got some great render software and lighting. The free version got some limits. But still a great tool

Sketchup is literally the google docs of these programs. Missing half the features but at least it's free (or close to free). If you have any money though it's worth it to upgrade to a real program.

Archicad: it has the ease of early stage 3D concepting that sketchup offers, but the database/BIM/documentation is easily developed from that stage. It’s sketchup, autocad&revit in 1. Plus with the twinmotion add-on some reasonable renders & pre-viz films etc are also possible. Easy to import and export for 3ds, rhino, sketchup, blender, and a whole bunch of others. Highly recommend it!

3ds max is now part of the standard package for autodesk. So i figure its maybe worth learning now.

Ok, homeowner and enthusiast here: I built our house in SketchUp and exported it as an .stl file and our architect could import that into ArchiCad. I dimensioned everything myself and saved him a ton of hours. He’s a buddy of mine, but it worked out well and we got plans for our addition in a timely fashion. I’ve been trying to transition to Blender (did all the doughnut tutorials with that great guy) but the learning curve on Blender is too steep for this full time working dad with two tiny kiddos.

When I look for a architectural design jobs I end up only finding software architecture jobs instead. I'm so frustrated that when I search for architecture jobs are usually end up on software architecture job posts. Is there a way to combat that? and in your opinion what are good architecture job websites?

Yeah it’s damn annoying. We pay AIA every year and they can’t even keep the title Architect exclusive.
Omggg I remember this so well from job hunting. It goes beyond software positions as well, SO many companies just throw in “architect” to make a job sound cooler or whatever. Sandwich architect, for instance.

I guess it depends on where you're located, but I've had good luck with LinkedIn job searches and Indeed (I'm in Canada). As for getting search results for data architect jobs, I haven't found a good way to filter them out, but I agree that they're incredibly annoying.

Yeah it’s damn annoying. We pay AIA every year and they can’t even keep the title Architect exclusive.
I guess it depends on where you're located, but I've had good luck with LinkedIn job searches and Indeed (I'm in Canada). As for getting search results for data architect jobs, I haven't found a good way to filter them out, but I agree that they're incredibly annoying.

When I look for a architectural design jobs I end up only finding software architecture jobs instead. I'm so frustrated that when I search for architecture jobs are usually end up on software architecture job posts. Is there a way to combat that? and in your opinion what are good architecture job websites?

Assuming that whatever your searching with searches descriptions as well, try searching for works like autocad or revit. Still not perfect, but rules out getting "software architect" stuff. Best best like the other person said is AIA chapters and sometimes archinect, though.

Put a salary filter on for "less than $100k per year"- should do the trick. Just kidding... ok half kidding (don't recall if there are salary filters on many of the job sites). It is annoying that computer jobs come up though. As far as good websites, a lot of cities have a local AIA chapter or architecture society that does online job listings. Remember when I was on the hunt, I relied heavily on the BSA's site (Boston Society of Architects). Recall NYC having one too. Personally found that to be the best source. Other than that, just add recruiters on LinkedIn if you have some work experience. They'll often reach out to you with opportunities, and in a tight market can actually be pretty pushy and aggressive.

My suggestion is to throw in more specific keywords into the search. So software like "Revit" or "autocad" as well as qualifications such as "LEED" or "building code". I've found this to be tremendously helpful and also helps you find architecture related job that don't have the "architecture" title.

If youre a good architect you can make a good salary.
My suggestion is to throw in more specific keywords into the search. So software like "Revit" or "autocad" as well as qualifications such as "LEED" or "building code". I've found this to be tremendously helpful and also helps you find architecture related job that don't have the "architecture" title.

Well most of our work was already digital, the biggest difference is now we just dont print and pin up our work for discussion. With the online tool we're using, the professors can now see us work through screen share, so now rather than recieving advice post project, we're now getting advice in the moment we're working on it. As a side note, my school received a couple months access for Rhino 6 and the entire Adobe suite for students at home, which we previously had to go to the labs for.
I'm still in first year studio so no digital models yet. We're expected to deliver pdf format pictures of physical models and drawings as per weekly guidelines for progress grades every Friday. It's actually way more difficult to stay focused at home. My professor doesn't seem to be very forgiving either. We don't have access to any fabrication labs or campus wood shop so obviously our quality of craft isn't going to be as high. However on our last day of in person class she was asked what kind of leeway there would be in regards to that and she said she's not expecting any difference in quality and "you're architects, figure it out." It's a great time to test our creativity, yet it also sucked when I spent an entire day cutting insulation foam into 1/8" strips and getting a C- because my craft quality was lacking. This semester is a complete wash and a lot of students in our architecture groupme are pretty pissed at how the school as a whole is handling things, but also at how the architecture department isn't doing well with communication or understanding the times. I'm also worried what is going to happen when I run out of materials and all the stores are closed.

Instead of showing up to studio we’re working from home, no physical model, and will be emailing our professor with our deliverables and taking feedback. I’m sure we could video chat with them, but that is our main plan going forward.

[ask]As a current architecture student who lacks creativity, any ideas or tips on how to broaden my creativity? I’m currently an undergrad for architecture at Texas Tech and recently I’ve been noticing that I have trouble trying to figure out ideas on what sketch or make. I don’t really know of anyway that helps with being more creative.

Don't worry about being super original and start utilizing the internet to find an idea that 'inspires' you. Once you find something tweak it to fit your program. As you progress you can find other tweaks. Also don't get bent out of shape about a lack of creativity but double down on the technical side. Architecture is form and function and most architects do very little design once you get out of school.
Think the difference between prose and poetry. Try reducing your prose into poetry--distilling it, almost--and then focusing on a part of that distillation to move forward into new ideas, new prose, that's going to be a bit different than what you started with. This is obviously a conversation that works better in person than over a Reddit post, but this is largely how I sort of "clicked" into moving into better design back in college.

I found doing something arty but unrelated to architecture helped. Independent films, books, art galleries - that kind of thing. Also think it helps to sketch all the ideas out, even if it feels like they're bad ideas, then try and articulate why they're no good. Finally, if you're stuck for ideas, try and design strictly to a theme (like a specific book) even if it seems arbitrary at first. It helps to get ideas flowing.

Biggest problem with architecture schools is they don’t tell you how to design. Best advice i think is to learn by doing, experimenting, trying. Everything and anything. Often design comes out of these explorations, it grows. You won’t get some flash of brilliance from thinking, it is much more likely to come from doing.

I try to follow the enviroment, if the planned object is in natural enviroment,all the answers are in front of us, or if the planned object is in urban enviroment, I usually try to contrast the enviroment, but proportionaly would follow the parametres. And then other things come all from itself.

Read tonnes of architecture books and magazines. Most of the times, the idea is a glimpse of a feature/character of any building which you found in those books.

[ask] as an architecture student, what are employers looking for on my resume in the long run? i am a rising sophomore studying architecture, how should i improve my resume? obviously internships and other related jobs would make the most sense (and advice on that would be welcome as well!), but what organizations or added skills are seen as a benefit? i am open to any suggestions and i understand my scope is vague!

Software skills, general building knowledge and the fact if you're willing to work slave hours
I'll echo the other comments and emphasize Software Skills. For perspective... I landed a job as a designer at my firm with no portfolio, (i was a non-traditional arch degree), and absolutely no previous architecture work experience. I worked a sales job before starting at my firm. For what I did have... A very clear, conscise and marketable resume. Make sure you have something that stands out more than a microsoft word template, and make it specific to the job you're applying for. Read through the job listing and tailor your resume to key words they've listed that the company is looking for. I also listed my software proficiencies and discussed this the most during the interview. For example, I listed AutoCad, Revit, Photoshop, Indesign, Adobe, and the Microsoft Suite Lastly, I listed things from work experience or school organizations that applied to the position i was applying for. Listing "Sales Experience" on a resume may seem like it isnt relevant to an architecture job at all... But if I instead put "Managed small teams in order to complete tasks efficiently and meet weekly goals" suddenly it applies to a much wider job market. I can't offer any advice on the internship portion, but im convinced that if I can end up working for a firm with the screwy path I took to get here, then you shouldn't have anything to worry about. When it comes down to applying for jobs, just make sure to be confident and market yourself specifically to that position. Hopefully some of this helps... And Good Luck!

Apply a strong emphasis in your education on materiality and building systems. Learn how everything comes together, whether it's a simple exterior wall assembly or coordination of your structure with mechanical and plumbing components. In my career, this allowed me to avoid the pitfalls of a rendering role in internships and full-time work. I quickly became a core team member not limited to drafting, but project coordination and delivery. It also allowed me to spend more time in the field during construction which has been the greatest enjoyment of what I do. One or the most helpful jobs I took early in my career was in construction management. Understanding how the logistics of cost, schedule, and coordination helped me develop my design skills to better suit client needs. Knowing what's feasible with the clients constraints, whether those are cost or time based has been a great appeal to clients overall. And as everyone else has mentioned, software skills (Revit, Rhino, AutoCAD).

to be honest, not much. the most important qualities in a new graduate are competence in software and a good attitude at work. a good sense of design is important; exceptional design skill is not. the nature of working in an office entails a different workflow than school, so outstanding student work isn't always relevant. this is why firms put so much value on internship experience and personal recommendations. it's the only way to know that a new grad is genuinely helpful and has the ability to think independently. rather than framing the question as how to improve your resume, think of your challenge as how to make sure the people you want to work with know who you are. if they know and basically like you, a resume stating nothing more than your degree and university will be enough for a first job.
We did an hour-long episode answering this exact question. check it out here. We cover everything from what to include if you have little experience, to résumé length, how to stand out, how it should be structured, graphics and pretty much anything else you can think of.  We also did others on how to apply for a design job not long ago. Good luck!

why people dislike modernist architecture ? I understand not liking it, but a lot of people hate on it. I just want a wider perspective on modern architecture, many times I see people expressing discontent with it, while I am being taught about it and all the different takes on it thorough out the different countries and their particular applications in college. I just want to understand.

To be fair, a lot of contemporary architecture loses the plot. Progenitors of the movement like Corb, Mies, and Loos had deep design philosophy behind their removal of ornament and ornate detailing. Traditional details were seen as obscuring the formation of space that good architecture accomplishes. Modernist architecture was driven by principles, and it only worked if the design was really, really solid. Cut to the mass popularization of the style, where its trappings get diluted and remixed, just like Victorian or Colonial styles in residential developments, without the mindful attention to the overall architectural quality. When you don't have nice crown molding profiles to mask the banality, it's impossible to miss. I love good modernist architecture, but I can't blame people who are underwhelmed by projects that have taken mediocre design, and pulled out the bells and whistles, to make a very cleanly, simply mediocre design.
Modernist architecture, the true original Modernist architecture coming out of Europe in the 1910s had noble intentions of democratising architecture, improving living environment, using technology to better our lives. The Bauhaus movement used mass produced parts to produce architecture. It was time the world was changing rapidly with new tech, modern transportation, and changing political environment in Europe signalled for a new optimism or iconoclasm to emerge. Loos believed ornamentation was excessive and removed it, Gropius embraced industrial parts, Corbusier found ways to make life more efficient by careful design. The destruction of the 1940s caused an adoption of Modernism on large scale to rebuild ruined cities. Social housing took off, the Socialist countries used the processes of Modernism to build mass housing, minus the context or refinement. As everyone tried to be different and modern, everyone started to look alike. Diluted Modernism is now the new hegemony of architecture. In 2020s the architecture seems like a bastardised Modernism. Using modern as an excuse for lazy and cheap architecture. The conditions which birthed Modernism are gone. Today people no longer relate to it, people no longer believed in Modernism. People may relate more to new timber architecture now, because people actually believe in new timber architecture

I'm not an architect, so my opinion is just from some who lives in a city that has too much of it it feels empty, does not have a natural component to integrate it with the environment, makes the urban space too urban, trees, green, sun and all of that are usually placed very scarcely or not even implemented at all for public buildings there's an excess of exposed concrete, over time it looks dirty and grimy, makes the city look even more grey and gloomier I think it does not create a confortable space of living or work, it is a piece of art placed without consideration of its purpose what makes even more distasteful in my mouth is to see that the press, students and pro architects as do museums, they create more and more momentum behind something that should have died in the 50s

I don’t wholly loathe modernist architecture but I feel it lacks warmth. I’ve spent the last couple years doing interior architectural work in Manhattan and 90% of our clients are architects who have designed the interior of the residence to look like a seamless lacquered box. Occasionally we’ll get a client who is updating their brownstone but wants to retain the original look and feel. I vastly prefer the richness and warmth of the ornate fireplaces and solid oak millwork. It really feels like a grand home and not a sterile box, like many of the modern condos.

Modernism is impossible to understand without the deep social reasons of why it emerged in the first place. Those reasons are: 1)Classicism essentially eating itself to death and showing itself incapable of dealing with mass urbanization. 2)Social changes meaning Architecture had to become first and foremost a social service, and no longer just a bauble for reach people to jerk each other off, as had been until the 20th century. 3)Technological changes suddenly enabling architects to do things at a scale and a cost that their forefathers could not have even dreamed of. Since a non-zero amount people on the Internet are american, conservative or both, it stands to reason that this project aiming to use the most (at the time) advanced technology to provide beatiful and dignified lodging to everyone and not just millionaires and aristocrats would violently trigger their delicate constitutions and make them foam at the mouth. They believe they have a monopoly on Western Tradition and cannot abide the thought of circumstances changing.

It’s not just about what it is but what it destroyed, and with such arrogance. Now there’s modernists protesting the destruction of their own buildings when gleefully obliterating the past was core to their ideology. Pshaw! What they put in place of handsome, venerable buildings are anarchic, ugly, and poorly thought-out eyesores meant to scoff at even muttering the ideas of “beauty” and “community.” You’ll have to forgive the bad taste leftover.

Loos believed ornamentation was excessive and removed it, Gropius embraced industrial parts, Corbusier found ways to make life more efficient by careful design. The destruction of the 1940s caused an adoption of Modernism on large scale to rebuild ruined cities. Social housing took off, the Socialist countries used the processes of Modernism to build mass housing, minus the context or refinement. As everyone tried to be different and modern, everyone started to look alike. Diluted Modernism is now the new hegemony of architecture. In 2020s the architecture seems like a bastardised Modernism. Using modern as an excuse for lazy and cheap architecture. The conditions which birthed Modernism are gone. Today people no longer relate to it, people no longer believed in Modernism. People may relate more to new timber architecture now, because people actually believe in new timber architecture
Most people know to appreciate modernism but in the postmodern times our comfortable modern homes have spoiled us so there is some romanticism of the past in the air.

why people dislike modernist architecture ? I understand not liking it, but a lot of people hate on it. I just want a wider perspective on modern architecture, many times I see people expressing discontent with it, while I am being taught about it and all the different takes on it thorough out the different countries and their particular applications in college. I just want to understand.

To be fair, a lot of contemporary architecture loses the plot. Progenitors of the movement like Corb, Mies, and Loos had deep design philosophy behind their removal of ornament and ornate detailing. Traditional details were seen as obscuring the formation of space that good architecture accomplishes. Modernist architecture was driven by principles, and it only worked if the design was really, really solid. Cut to the mass popularization of the style, where its trappings get diluted and remixed, just like Victorian or Colonial styles in residential developments, without the mindful attention to the overall architectural quality. When you don't have nice crown molding profiles to mask the banality, it's impossible to miss. I love good modernist architecture, but I can't blame people who are underwhelmed by projects that have taken mediocre design, and pulled out the bells and whistles, to make a very cleanly, simply mediocre design.
I can't speak for "people," but I can give my own personal opinion, which I think is a common enough perspective. The problem with modernism (and its offshoots and reactions, such as brutalism, postmodernism, and what people often call contemporary) is that they were/are often constructed in urban environments with apathy or disdain for everything around them. Corbusier wanted to demolish half of Paris to build his "Machines for living," and that arrogance has stuck around. People who live in charming, old-world cities full of decorated boxes do not want the Kunsthaus Graz inflicted on them, but it keeps happening. People overwhelmingly want architecture with a sense of place. If you want proof of this, look at the modern architecture that people DO like. There is plenty of contemporary housing around the Canals at Venice Beach; people like this because it's a contemporary neighborhood. The r/ArchitecturalRevival subreddit is for people who like "traditional architecture," yet it is devoted largely to undeniably contemporary buildings: just ones that were built with clear respect for their surroundings. These buildings have a sense of time AND place; modernist works often have only the former. Everyone likes Falling Water; it reflects its environment. 520 West 28th seems almost like an organic outgrowth of the Highline, and who hates it? One might not like it, but *hate* it? Even blobitecture, the go-to citation for traditionalism proponent's, might be delightfully weird on an all-blobitecture street. Granted, most of these are not, strictly speaking, "modernist," but I think you can make a strong argument that modernism influenced postmodernism, parametricism, and contemporary styles.

I'm not an architect, so my opinion is just from some who lives in a city that has too much of it it feels empty, does not have a natural component to integrate it with the environment, makes the urban space too urban, trees, green, sun and all of that are usually placed very scarcely or not even implemented at all for public buildings there's an excess of exposed concrete, over time it looks dirty and grimy, makes the city look even more grey and gloomier I think it does not create a confortable space of living or work, it is a piece of art placed without consideration of its purpose what makes even more distasteful in my mouth is to see that the press, students and pro architects as do museums, they create more and more momentum behind something that should have died in the 50s

I don’t wholly loathe modernist architecture but I feel it lacks warmth. I’ve spent the last couple years doing interior architectural work in Manhattan and 90% of our clients are architects who have designed the interior of the residence to look like a seamless lacquered box. Occasionally we’ll get a client who is updating their brownstone but wants to retain the original look and feel. I vastly prefer the richness and warmth of the ornate fireplaces and solid oak millwork. It really feels like a grand home and not a sterile box, like many of the modern condos.

Modernism is impossible to understand without the deep social reasons of why it emerged in the first place. Those reasons are: 1)Classicism essentially eating itself to death and showing itself incapable of dealing with mass urbanization. 2)Social changes meaning Architecture had to become first and foremost a social service, and no longer just a bauble for reach people to jerk each other off, as had been until the 20th century. 3)Technological changes suddenly enabling architects to do things at a scale and a cost that their forefathers could not have even dreamed of. Since a non-zero amount people on the Internet are american, conservative or both, it stands to reason that this project aiming to use the most (at the time) advanced technology to provide beatiful and dignified lodging to everyone and not just millionaires and aristocrats would violently trigger their delicate constitutions and make them foam at the mouth. They believe they have a monopoly on Western Tradition and cannot abide the thought of circumstances changing.

It’s not just about what it is but what it destroyed, and with such arrogance. Now there’s modernists protesting the destruction of their own buildings when gleefully obliterating the past was core to their ideology. Pshaw! What they put in place of handsome, venerable buildings are anarchic, ugly, and poorly thought-out eyesores meant to scoff at even muttering the ideas of “beauty” and “community.” You’ll have to forgive the bad taste leftover.

I think the reason I dislike modern architecture is because it replaces difference with sameness and it principally removes the details that give buildings a sense of place. When we go on holiday we like to go somewhere and see buildings that are different to the ones in the place we came from, we want to see something new and interesting. I just feel like modern architecture is about homogenising cityscapes around the world. I hate that you could show a cityscape and not be able to work out if it was Nairobi, Seoul, Abu Dhabi, Houston or Sao Paolo. On the other hand, I absolutely love modern buildings that respect local traditions, use local materials where possible and respect the local people and their culture. Would this religious complex in Niger be anywhere near as cool if it was just another Bauhaus box? Or how about these Hanoks in Korea? Or even this rebuilt town square in Germany?
To be fair, a lot of contemporary architecture loses the plot. Progenitors of the movement like Corb, Mies, and Loos had deep design philosophy behind their removal of ornament and ornate detailing. Traditional details were seen as obscuring the formation of space that good architecture accomplishes. Modernist architecture was driven by principles, and it only worked if the design was really, really solid. Cut to the mass popularization of the style, where its trappings get diluted and remixed, just like Victorian or Colonial styles in residential developments, without the mindful attention to the overall architectural quality. When you don't have nice crown molding profiles to mask the banality, it's impossible to miss. I love good modernist architecture, but I can't blame people who are underwhelmed by projects that have taken mediocre design, and pulled out the bells and whistles, to make a very cleanly, simply mediocre design.
