uc49gv | architecture_train | 1 | Is investing in architecture as a future career worth it? I'm a teenager that loves architecture but the more I want to persue the dream of architecture, the more people try to talk me out of it and now I'm questioning is architecture really worth it? | i687omx | i687jl6 | 1,650,947,984 | 1,650,947,897 | 5 | 4 | If you're fine with studying for maybe 2 decades and sit in front of a screen all day drawing plans. What exactly about Architecture that you like? The history? The construction? Appearance? | I would say yes. I'm a senior in Architecture at my college, and pursued for the same reason. Its equally challenging as it is fun for me, and I get assignments and projects that feel hard or out of my league in the first few days or so, but it all comes together later. Some people may think that it goes against a personality trait, or expected you to go for something else. For example, they might expect you to go into engineering, which also fits the math/art combination of architecture with a focus on math. It could also be the hybrid of mathematics and art, which people often act like they dislike, but everyone's capable of that if they worked to it. Even if a degree doesn't fit, making it a hobby is also fantastic. There are many celebrities across many jobs that either once were in architecture or even graduated in it, and they can be a fair example of a passion project. Overall, go for it. It can be a dream job that's opening up as of recent years. Dozens of professional and awarded architects are stepping down, and many places are trying to fill in new firm offices. | 1 | 87 | 1.25 | ||

I work for a large firm that probably anyone on this sub can name and I’m being approached consistently with competitive offers. The value of an architect is on the rise and my hope is that as an industry, we can maintain a higher value. This value is still not at the same level as other professions that are notorious for their long hours and hard work (i.e. lawyers) but it is getting better. That said, the long hours and hard work don’t stop after school. You need to work hard to maintain your work/life balance, but you can have a life outside of work. Based on my time in the profession, I have a few tips that could help you too: -Keep in touch with your professors, they are the first professionals to enter your network. Additionally, if you prefer a career in academia, they are your advocates. -View all assignments/projects as an opportunity rather than a chore, even if you’re faced with an impossible deadline. “Growing pains” is what I like to call my tough days. -Take care of yourself, take time off for rest and do not offer to work during your time off. Know when to call it a night. -Maintain your value, do not work for free. -Do not be afraid to try something different, lots of successful people find a niche that serves as a bridge from architecture to whatever else they might be interested in. You do not have to become an architect just because you have a degree in architecture. | 0 | 53,062 | 1.5 | ||

I regret my decision of becoming an architect, i am underpaid overworked and i don't even get to design anything (I'm working in a private firm in new delhi, India) so it's extremely frustrating because I'm merely a draftsman when I spent 5 years of my college education learning to be an architect | 1 | 10,467 | 3 | ||

q8d1o2 | architecture_train | 0.72 | Is architecture a good career choice for someone with social anxiety and is an introvert? I really want to do architecture. I’ve been attracted by it for years. But I’ve seen many people say how you have to present projects and do other things and that makes me extremely nervous. | hgpgys6 | hgovi31 | 1,634,276,761 | 1,634,265,002 | 3 | 2 | I am an introvert and have some degree of social anxiety as well. I went through 7 years of architecture school and now work in the field. As an introvert, I loved architecture school. I think there are aspects of it that are compatible with how introverts function. You are given complex problems and expected to think through and develop your ideas independently on your own time. You are given 1 on 1 time with your instructor during desk crits. Even final presentations are given in a controlled environment with a few critics and your colleagues and are actually usually quite casual and informal. The feedback you get is incredibly constructive because it's all based on your work. Public speaking is obviously something we have to spend extra time to prepare for but I believe it's a skill that you can easily get better at through practice. Overall, I found it easy to excel in architecture school, but keep in mind there are some arch schools that aren't structured like the schools I went to.I would try to find out about student - professor ratios, whether studio projects are individual or group projects, whether thesis (if there is one) is individual or group. In the field, however, is sort of a different story. I am starting to find the feedback I get from work is sometimes more a criticism of my personality than the quality of my work. People have a problem with you being "too quiet" or suggest you should "speak up more". However, I think these are issues you would encounter in any field you work in as an introvert. I don't find my introversion has caused me to create work that are lesser than of my extroverted peers. My introversion has not affected my ability to communicate effectively with colleagues, consultants or clients. It kills me to imagine any industry with only extroverts, so please pursue architecture if you have a genuine interest. The industry would benefit from having more introverts. | It really depends on what your individual goals are both in school and professionally. Like many professions, there are both extrovert and introvert personalities in the field. Regarding the anxiety part, it depends also on what impacts you individually. Within school, there is a lot of presenting and also group work. Potentially the biggest aspect to know about regarding the presenting is not so much the talking part but rather the critiquing and feedback part from reviewers. Many times these are complete strangers and their opinions and feedback can be blunt. You learn not to take their views and comments personally. That said, it could be a great environment to gain opportunities for exposure work, which may help with you anxiety over time, if that’s of any interest. | 1 | 11,759 | 1.5 | ||

Presentations and such happen frequently and can be harsh. And studio can get cliquey, just because people spend so much time there. After graduation it might be better. Professionally, there's some range of social interaction. The most recognized architects (and the ones that make partner) have to interact with coworkers, contractors, and most importantly clients and potential clients. Bigger firms may have some room for architects who just want to do the job assigned with less of the outside networking, as long as they can work well with coworkers at least, with less interaction with clients and contractors. (Still some though) And it'll be trickier to advance from that role. Architecture is a client based business in almost all cases, so upper level advancement (or success as a sole proprietor) comes from bringing in new clients or at least maintaining returning ones. Sometimes I wish things weren't that way (connecting with new people quickly is definitely not my thing) but it's really how the industry is structured. | I am an introvert and have some degree of social anxiety as well.

And many design professions require a fair amount of thick skin because if your professor isn't tough your clients will be. Or your studio leader. Architecture is a rigorous profession. Remember these projects cost millions of dollars if it's a commercial project or represent someone's life savings or hopes and dreams in the case of a house. So you have to look past your own insecurities and dignify the bigger picture. It's not that everyone in architecture or interior design or fashion or industrial design is super extraverted.

q8d1o2 | architecture_train | 0.72 | Is architecture a good career choice for someone with social anxiety and is an introvert? I really want to do architecture. I’ve been attracted by it for years. But I’ve seen many people say how you have to present projects and do other things and that makes me extremely nervous. | hgpgys6 | hgp7myi | 1,634,276,761 | 1,634,271,046 | 3 | 1 | I am an introvert and have some degree of social anxiety as well. I went through 7 years of architecture school and now work in the field. As an introvert, I loved architecture school. I think there are aspects of it that are compatible with how introverts function. You are given complex problems and expected to think through and develop your ideas independently on your own time. You are given 1 on 1 time with your instructor during desk crits. Even final presentations are given in a controlled environment with a few critics and your colleagues and are actually usually quite casual and informal. The feedback you get is incredibly constructive because it's all based on your work. Public speaking is obviously something we have to spend extra time to prepare for but I believe it's a skill that you can easily get better at through practice. Overall, I found it easy to excel in architecture school, but keep in mind there are some arch schools that aren't structured like the schools I went to.I would try to find out about student - professor ratios, whether studio projects are individual or group projects, whether thesis (if there is one) is individual or group. In the field, however, is sort of a different story. I am starting to find the feedback I get from work is sometimes more a criticism of my personality than the quality of my work. People have a problem with you being "too quiet" or suggest you should "speak up more". However, I think these are issues you would encounter in any field you work in as an introvert. I don't find my introversion has caused me to create work that are lesser than of my extroverted peers. My introversion has not affected my ability to communicate effectively with colleagues, consultants or clients. It kills me to imagine any industry with only extroverts, so please pursue architecture if you have a genuine interest. The industry would benefit from having more introverts. | I have social anxiety, did an architecture degree, now working in the built environment industry. Can confirm that it's not the easiest to start with (there's a pretty steep learning curve with presenting your work, learning to accept critique of your work constructively etc) but you do get there. I'm still not super keen on presenting work to groups, but I'm a whole lot better at it now, and more comfortable than I used to be. Long story short: it may be a little difficult at first, but you will get though it just fine and be all the better for it. | 1 | 5,715 | 3 | ||

Like many professions, there are both extrovert and introvert personalities in the field. Regarding the anxiety part, it depends also on what impacts you individually. Within school, there is a lot of presenting and also group work. Potentially the biggest aspect to know about regarding the presenting is not so much the talking part but rather the critiquing and feedback part from reviewers. Many times these are complete strangers and their opinions and feedback can be blunt. You learn not to take their views and comments personally. That said, it could be a great environment to gain opportunities for exposure work, which may help with you anxiety over time, if that’s of any interest. | You have to schmooze to get the job. Back in the day we didn’t have a name for social anxiety. I’m a hair stylist and an introvert. Yeah, read that again! So, I get it. And I had a lot of lost sleep about developing my clientele and honing my craft. The way I got through it was to treat it like I was solving my clients problems— hair wise.

ovwl2l | architecture_train | 0.79 | Is architecture a good career? I live in Toronto Canada and I'm in second year of an architecture/project management/facility management program and I'm not sure if it's right for me. I love working with my hands, I love design and gorgeous houses, buildings etc. I took stem all through highschool but the thought of being an engineer or something alike just never clicked with me. I've been reading a lot of people saying it's shitty hours shitty pay and you'll most likely be confined to tasks you'll dread doing. If there are any architects in Canada is this true? I'm scared to tell my parents that this might not be for me and they won't let me go into something that doesn't require a degree. I love architecture and the construction industry but I'm not sure if I have the Passion required to complete such a draining career (from what I've heard).

Architecture is one of those things that if you enjoy the work for its own sake, you can be satisfied, but if you're in it for some other reason then you can get burned out quickly. Most creative fields advertise themselves as being more glamorous than they really are (but at least many of them pay well), architecture is neither glamorous, generally speaking, or a super high-paying field. That being said you'll run into a lot of architects who can't imagine doing anything else and I think if you're one of those people you'll do well in the profession. Also while you're in school it's all kind of vague but if you stay in the profession you might want to map out your career and actually figure out what kinds of projects you actually are interested in working on because that's half the battle. | Let me put it this way.. If you're doing your job correctly, it should feel like you're a busy lawyer, with moments of concept/designing. | 1 | 34 | 1.3 | ||

It seems now architecture school is more accessible and easier to graduate. The pay starts of really horrible , but your young you can take it. But it usually does not increase as say someone in other fields. It still very much runs on experience, and not your schooling. For example, I worked two years before i had graduated school. Upon graduation and moving my friends who had no jobs where getting paid 45k with masters, I landed job at 65k with no masters, and a 4 year degree. You will be on salary, which is really abusive in terms of hours, and firms look down if you work 40 hours a week..

(i apologize for gramatical mistakes, my english aint good) | f7z5wh2 | f7r6qk0 | 1,574,105,786 | 1,573,975,821 | 2 | 1 | Not so much that it is dying, but over saturating. It seems now architecture school is more accessible and easier to graduate. The pay starts of really horrible , but your young you can take it. But it usually does not increase as say someone in other fields. It still very much runs on experience, and not your schooling. For example, I worked two years before i had graduated school. Upon graduation and moving my friends who had no jobs where getting paid 45k with masters, I landed job at 65k with no masters, and a 4 year degree. You will be on salary, which is really abusive in terms of hours, and firms look down if you work 40 hours a week.. I think most immigrant families have this grandeur of what an architect is, but in reality most countries that are not the USA. Hold Architects in higher esteem. | Certainly not dying in major cities, the building boom is insane right now but the job is unforgiving if you plan to have a regular 9-5 day with paid overtime and dreams of being a ready starchitect right out school. And the profession is still definitely male-dominated, although it was much more balanced to me while in architecture school. | 1 | 129,965 | 2 | ||
bq9tfl | architecture_train | 0.77 | How much overtime do you work? I recently investigated the overtime hours of Architects in our firm, and am interested to hear your feedback. Lurking in this sub-reddit has shown me that not all Architects, pre or post licensure; nor Architectural Interns work lots of overtime hours. There seems to be a divide between those who believe it is necessary and those who don’t. Since my firm is open to employees about hours as well as billing & contracts (though not about employee pay), it means I could go and examine the amount of hours worked by our Architects. My investigation was based on the last 20 work weeks, amounting to 800 office hours at 40 hours a week. Over the past 20 weeks, our Architects (I’ve excluded the partners and principles; as well as senior management) have worked an average of 870 hours over that period (having excluded time off,) putting in an average of 43.5 hours per week. Only an average of 48 hours was taken off by the Architects over those 20 weeks. Additionally, a couple employees worked well over 150 to 200 hours overtime during that period. Excluding them from the the average count lowers the average hours down to 840 over 20 weeks, and an average of 42 hours a week. Our Architects are all paid a salary and bonuses based on performance are expected though not required. What is your experience? Does this seem average to your experience? Above average? Or maybe below what you expect? | eo4q5o3 | eo60xjw | 1,558,282,797 | 1,558,308,770 | 1 | 2 | About what I'd expect. I am not an Architect, just a Project Designer/CAD/BIM Tech, but everyone in our office always works over the 'normal' hours. We even take work home. We are all Salary, but are given 'free' hours during the week to do whatever we want with. Either way, we never quit working, because the project is always on our mind until it gets completed. | I'm capped at 40 a week and I like it. At other firms I'd work a few hours overtime to have a little extra cash for the weekend but it was never mandatory or expected. I'm fond of a full life outside of work so I wouldn't stick around a job that tried to squeeze me harder. | 0 | 25,973 | 2 | ||

Those are formative years to develop various ways of thinking, expose yourself to work of others - architectural history etc. Software changes around as time goes on. Best architects aren’t the ones that can click the fastest or are best at certain software. | Rhino for 3D modeling Sketchup for more basic 3D modeling autocad for 2D drawing revit if you’re producing architectural drawings. It’d skip it at your level. Probably wouldn’t waste time with blender, Maia, or fusion360 unless you have access to them and not Rhino or Autocad. | 1 | 37,745 | 2 | ||

But fusion 360 is also good for some more in depth stuff but thats mainly used for automated machines like 3d printers or laser cutters etc. Im not an architect I know a little bit though. A big part of the design is physics. Like what supports go here and will it fall or will it stay structurally sound. If im wrong any actual architects let me know. | 1 | 41,334 | 4 | ||

They also have a stripped down version called home designer pro that has a very similar interface without being as complicated. Revit is king but a lot of the skills with any of the main softwares will transfer. If it matters I do primarily interior design, learning photoshop will also serve you quite well for years to come. | 1 | 32,885 | 4,000 | ||

Perhaps sign up for a life drawing or art course, or buy books that provide you with daily challenges. Go out into your town/city and draw places & things that inspire you. If you really want to learn some software, sketch up is useful - and fun. Adobe Creative Suite is also very useful. I use Photoshop, Indesign a lot, occasionally Illustrator. I’ve never even heard of the other ones you’ve mentioned and I’ve been working in practice for 10 years. I’m UK based and have had to learn software in every job I’ve had - AutoCad, Microstation, AecoSim, Revit. It’s never been a problem. Your university and any future employers will want to see your creativity, not necessarily poorly designed buildings constrained by the limitations of the software or your ability to use it. A good employer will provide you with any training that you need. | Honestly start with reading….
