rsunpg | architecture_train | 0.93 | 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. | hqp1rxx | hqpj9wv | 1,640,967,440 | 1,640,974,553 | 4 | 42 | It's pretty simple. Most people erroneously think that aesthetics and beauty are interchangeable terms. | 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? | 0 | 7,113 | 10.5 | ||

Some modernist buildings are even designed with the perverse *goal* of unsettling the viewer. Unlike, say, modernist art, modernist architecture is unavoidable. It is also placeless--a new museum in Beijing could just as easily be in New York or Paris. Though I dislike most modernist architecture, what I really hate is modernist ideology, which rejects all ornament, dismisses beauty as a goal, and derides any new building that uses pre-modernist vocabulary as "pastiche" or "historicism." For thousands of years, architecture evolved naturally, building on past wisdom and exploring how to make buildings more beautiful and useful. Modernist ideology declared an end to that natural evolution and humanity's millennia of striving for beauty. | 1 | 6,629 | 10.5 | ||

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. | 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. | 0 | 1,908 | 3.333333 | ||

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.

Propagators of it often think they are being bold and au courant, when their iteration of it is nothing more than a knock off of one that came out 60+ years ago. When in a good landscape, and in the suburbs, along with some similar buildings I can accept its form. | 1 | 1,415 | 3.5 | ||

o7z49s | architecture_train | 1 | Im mildly intrested in becoming Ethier a interior designer or a architect or both. But i have some questions about architecture. Can i become a architect via a apprenticeship instead of a college? Or is there any other alternative more one on one kinda hands on program thats not college that i I could become a architect through? Do i have to be good at drawing to become a architect? How difficult is it to become a architect? Whats the process like? What is the job environment like? And more generally what is it like to be a architect? What does one need to be good at to be a architect and more general what does someone need to enjoy to become a architect? | h320frc | h326tnd | 1,624,666,622 | 1,624,670,268 | -4 | 6 | google | I'm not sure if every architectural body has the same program, but the RAIC (Royal Architectural Institute of Canada) has the syllabus program as an alternative path to becoming an architect (instead of getting an M.Arch.) It's a much less direct route, but you're able to work while doing the program, so you can get a lot of experience/earn a living while still eventually becoming an architect. I believe in Canada, you can work as an interior designer if you're a registered architect, but you can't work as an architect if you're only a licensed interior designer. The process to becoming a licensed interior designer is less rigorous. Working in architecture is often pretty demanding, and the culture can be pretty toxic. A lot of architects have a weird sense of pride in overworking themselves, which is sort of ingrained in architectural education. Also, the pay (while not bad) isn't really commensurate with the level of education and the number of hours you need to work before you can become registered architect. That being said, if you really love the work, it can be a pretty great job. Seeing your work manifested into the physical world is a pretty amazing feeling. | 0 | 3,646 | -1.5 | ||

If you're in the United States, go to NCARB.org to see the requirements. I believe they're pretty similar across the country, with maybe a few differences. In my state, you need the three E's: education, experience, and exams. Education: 5 year Bachelor's or Master's (this is determined by the school you go to and what degree they offer). Experience: 5600 (or somewhere around there) hours of experience in 6 different categories. Each category has a specific amount of hours to fulfill. Exams: 6 exams that correspond to those 6 categories you gain experience in. Then you go before the board when all that is completed (NCARB tracks it all and its like $80/year), I believe there is a comprehensive, take home exam. If you pass that you're then a registered architect. In my state, you can't call yourself an architect unless you've passed the board exam. You can't be a software architect or sound architect or junior architect. My current position is designer and that's it. There are also a few other alternatives you can do. I know that you can substitute some experience hours with these online questions they have, but you can't do more than a certain amount. And I believe you can use experience in the field instead of a degree, but I think that's like 10 or 15 years or something big. I don't think you really need to draw well as long as you can communicate your design in other ways. We don't really do hand sketches at my firm. I think real experience in a firm is nothing like school. You work as a team and can get help when you need it. I really love the firm I work for as I feel they have a good life/work balance, but they also encourage discussion and asking for help and don't make me feel dumb if I don't know something. As a designer, I have also worked in interiors a couple times. I have also worked on designing buildings and sites and all kinds of things. I just work under an architect, so even if you didn't become an architect or have all the qualifications to become one eventually, you can still work in the field just fine. I'd say that the money is okay, but it really depends on where you work. Like I said earlier, mine is good about life/work balance so I don't have a lot of overtime. But it is definitely common for them to work long weeks with tons of overtime. If you don't love the field, getting through school would be really tough. I pulled waaaaay too many overnighters. I only knew 3 people (including on the interiors side) who never pulled one and one of them said because they always slept at least 1 hour. So.... it's a tough major. The path to interiors is sort of similar but they only have 3 exams and I believe they don't have to have experience hours. | 0 | 14,791 | -0.25 | ||

The industry is seriously oversaturated, there are far too many graduates vs jobs.

I went into architecture knowing it was an uphill battle. I knew school was going to be hard and test me, maybe even break me but I did not care. I knew it wasn't the best paid in my country and still went in head first and let me tell you if you choose the right firm they notice your commitment. I got a raise in my first 6 months at the firm because I kept asking for more work because I wanted to learn. I read about architecture every day I research new materials and things that might be helpful in the future. I am fully invested in it and love the field. It takes a lot of work and architects really do way more than people think.but one day you will look at a project and think I did that, pulled this thing out of thin air and now it's real The reason I did all this is because I want to make a change even if it's a small one. At the end of it all I want to be able to create functional beautiful spaces that enhance the lives of those who use them. I want to push for more sustainable practices and a better future. | 1 | 3,215 | 2.25 | ||

Its a nasty competitive environment dominated by those who excel in nonsensical verbiage, stroking the ego of those with actual power in the company. The reality is that the building industry as a whole has largely edged out architects of any real responsibility, the real money, and risk vs reward in Building, is in contracting. Most architects will not want to see this or admit it, but the salaries speak for themselves lol. Just look at the companies that actually carry out development. Back in the day Architects were more like Lawyers / Doctors, professionals truest sense of the word. If you want to do Architecture the imo you should be of the mind set to make your own business / career outside of the normal beaten paths, i think this is the best way to live a happy life as an architect.

Having gone to Arch school (graduated 10yrs ago) and seeing how my fellow graduates have done, its difficult to recommend. I would say that if the philosophy of design is important to you, and you have a serious passion learning about building, then architecture is the best education one can get (i would trend towards schools which take a classical approach). This is particularly true if you do Arch as a Bachelor's, so you still have a chance to redirect your career with a Masters (i don't think I can recommend a Arch Masters in any form, absolute waste of money, this is a huge scam imo). That being said, if you are choosing Architecture as your degree whilst taking on student debt, or you are being funded to do so on the premise of you working up the Corporate ladder, i cannot recommended it at all. Many people start out in architecture bc it seems idyllic, this sucks people into a life long trap of crap earnings.

I love architecture and design I really do, but I really hate the (American) way that architects look at the work we do. In school all of the architecture majors would ONLY socialize with other architects. Mainly because we were always around each other, but also because we never had time to socialize with other majors. In the working world it's a little different, but in any corporate firm you are not typically looked at as a designer with their own design sense. Rather you are looked at as someone to produce the drawings the firm needs (at least at the start) Smaller firms will tend to treat you more like a human, but that comes with the instability of working for a small company. I still don't think I want to do anything outside of the design field. In short, if you love it, do it. If you don't love it, I wouldn't come anywhere near it. | I’m a sole proprietor now and a lot of my clients who work in high paying business and tech jobs wish they could do what I do for a living.

You shouldn't listen to any story and think they will or will not apply to you. Every industry comes with pros and cons. It helps to figure out more directly where you want to head, but it does take work. Regardless of where you go. This shouldn't be a surprise or overwhelm you. Life is variables. Your variables won't always align with everyone else's. Follow your interests and desires. Thats all you can do. | 1 | 11,819 | 1.5 | ||

Pleassseeee | i87imei | i881xu8 | 1,652,289,509 | 1,652,297,110 | 2 | 3 | It's fine to study architecture. It's a great education. Practicing it is a different matter. That's probably the problem. If you have the time resource to spend 4-5 years experimenting with new ways of thinking and problem solving, an architectural education can be very valuable to your growth as a person. But while you do that, you most certainly should intern at many different types of firms to see if the profession seems worthwhile to you. It's long hours for not enough pay. People do it because they like it. The discontent foments when you need to make money and you want to retire, but realize that you will never retire with your salary. But some people like the idea of working past their 70's, and architecture allows that. If I could go back to my high-school self, I would tell myself to study architecture in school, take non-architecture related extracurriculars, do a coding bootcamp, and get a tech job. Retire early and pursue some other creative endeavor with the rest of my life, money, and free time. I don't like working, but I guess if I'm going to work forever architecture's not so bad (for me). But that's... a pure fantasy and really irrelevant to your question. | Hello I study architecture in France and we struggle.

We receive a _very_ broad education ranging from physics to the arts. While you can’t do _any_ job, you do have a wider set of options than most other people. The job is tough, the construction industry is very vulnerable to the ups and downs of the economy and architects probably get squeezed the hardest when times are tough.

I still don't think I want to do anything outside of the design field. In short, if you love it, do it. If you don't love it, I wouldn't come anywhere near it. | If your truly passionate you should do it. Because you don't wanna be on your death bed thinking 'wish I tried architecture'. If you hate it then you can always try something else. I did that and I'm glad I tried it just wasn't for me in the long run. | 1 | 10,928 | 2 | ||
un65kb | architecture_train | 0.95 | I’m planning on studying architecture but literally all the stories are so depressing I was looking at people's experiences with arch on YouTube and the internet in general, and more than half were on why they quit it or why you should never study it. I still really want to at least try it out though, do you guys have any positive encouraging stories on your experiences? Pleassseeee | i877ouh | i8620dx | 1,652,285,291 | 1,652,265,863 | 2 | 1 | Architecture is a broad industry. You shouldn't listen to any story and think they will or will not apply to you. Every industry comes with pros and cons. It helps to figure out more directly where you want to head, but it does take work. Regardless of where you go. This shouldn't be a surprise or overwhelm you. Life is variables. Your variables won't always align with everyone else's. Follow your interests and desires. Thats all you can do. | Mt kr bhai | 1 | 19,428 | 2 | ||

And also you need to know architecture is composed of engineering and art, it’s like a interface of those two above which means you need to at least not bad at any of them or you’ll be really tired.And also, it’s art-related job so it is objective, so you may not always make you work the way you like, you need to fulfill customers’ demand.Last point, there’s thousands of architects in the world,but only a few are well-known. | 1 | 16,445 | 2 | ||
