q32as1 | architecture_train | 1 | What should I do the summer after my first year of architecture school? I am a first year architecture student and recently attended my college's career fair. The few architecture firms I talked to there said they typically don't hire freshmen as interns, since they want people with revit experience, however there were a few opportunities for a job shadow. There were a lot of construction companies / contractors there that said they would consider any smart student who wants to learn about the industry. Would it be better for me to do a job shadow at an architecture firm or an internship at a construction company? | hfpj4jc | hfpj30f | 1,633,598,071 | 1,633,598,032 | 6 | 3 | Get a job on a construction site as a general laborer.

t4z28y | architecture_train | 1 | For perceived room illumination, should a window be place "centered" on a wall or close to one end of the wall ? (read for more details, including sketches :) ) Hi all ! I hope this is the right place for this kind of question/debate. I am currently drawing plans for a full renovation of an old limestone warehouse near Bordeaux (France). I am free to create openings wherever I want as long as they as not wider that 150cm (±60 inches) wide and at least 190cm (±75 inches) high. I have several rooms that I need to create. The big question I am trying to find an answer to : for maximum ***perceived*** illumination, is it better to have a window in the middle of a wall or close to an edge ? Which room would FEEL the brightest ? My intuition is the following : * Shadow cones : * centered window : two shadow cones (one in each corner of the wall that has the window) * window near a corner : one shadow cone (albeit larger) * winner : window near a corner * Light bouncing off the (side) wall(s) : * centered window : light bounces off both walls with medium intensity and on about one half of the walls * window near a corner : light bounces off one wall only, but on the full wall and, with high intensity * winner : window near a corner, *overall, I think... not sure actually.* My conclusion is that the room on the right would *feel* brighter (I created a drawing to show you my reasoning below, I hope it is clear). Stronger multidirectional bounce from the left wall means higher perceived brightness in the room on the right \(IMHO\) Do you agree ? Do you have literrature on this subject ? I didn't find any... :/ Do you have experience with this ? Thanks a lot for your input (really looking forward to reading you). | hz1k0z5 | hz1liku | 1,646,225,304 | 1,646,226,114 | 1 | 5 | Assumptions: northern hemisphere, south facing. Other things being equal , averaged over the course of a day, a centrally placed window will have half the shadow of the alternative. So, on that basis, I'd say it's a clear winner. Note however that Bordeaux can get extremely hot | Agreed in the corner. However, to “feel” brighter, wouldn’t you want the window directly across from the door?

A lot of the perceived brightness will be influenced by the diffusion of light in the room, ie. the avoidance of harsh shadows. With one window, you’ll have more shadowing. Now, in this regard, the one window adjacent to the wall helps a lot, because the wal starts to diffuse your light and spreads out the bright spot of the window. With the centered window, the window itself is by far the brightest thing in the space, but it’s which increases glare. | Assumptions: northern hemisphere, south facing.

njm3sq | architecture_train | 1 | I’m out of school for the summer and not taking any summer classes, how can I practice or improve my architecture/program/rendering/etc. skills until classes start again in autumn?

But If you are going into your third year and don’t have any summer classes, I would look at interning at an office. Some offices give rendering or modeling assignments to interns. You will gain work experience and get a real feel as to how an office works. If you decide to go this route, research offices whose work you like. I went for the closest office near me and hated it. It’s best to spend you time doing work you care about. Compensation also varies from office to office. Some firms believe the knowledge you gain is sufficient enough. I call bullshit. A good principal values their employees time and effort, including interns. You don’t want to be stuck working long hours for free. Hope this helps. | 0 | 56 | 1.5 | ||

d392gx | architecture_train | 0.79 | [ask] Question for the architects: what does a typical salary look like?

80mui6 | architecture_train | 1 | ask] Need help finding specific urban projects in difficult topography for my master thesis. Any help is greatly appreciated! Hello architecture enthusiasts! I am currently writing my master thesis in Sustainable Urban Planning and Design and i could use a bit of help. The goal of the study is to develop a method which quantifies and measures how accessible a specific solution is (Solution: elevator/stair/cable car/escalator). The part i need help with is the process of finding specific projects where dramatic topography (height difference of 10-40 meters) has been overcome by clever solutions. Clever solutions could be any solution that can handle a significant flow of people that connects two points that are separated by a distinct difference in height. These solutions can be from all over the globe. Two examples of solutions are presented below. [Elevator/Stair solution in Stockholm, Sweden Funicular in Montmartre, France Any help is greatly appreciated! Even if there is no specific solution present, an example of an urban area that has handled difficult topography well is also appreciated! | dux54ew | dux14zo | 1,519,759,243 | 1,519,755,642 | 3 | 2 | I’m a ropeway engineer, so I deal with tough topography all the time. Most of our projects are quite a bit larger than 10-40m in elevation gain. One example that might fit what you’re looking for is the Portland Aerial Tram. PM me if you have any ropeway questions or if you’d like some more examples. | The city of Salvador de Bahia in Brazil has a very interesting topography and a very old lift that connects two parts of the city. Also a river that can‘t be crossed except by tunneling underneath - like Antwerp or Greenwich could count as difficult topography. Antwerp also has an interesting old elevator system... Stuttgart in southern Germany is known for its „Staffeln“ - stairs that connect steep height differences within the city. | 1 | 3,601 | 1.5 | ||

All my clients were happy and satisfied, and it honestly felt content for a while, until i stopped getting work, and i realised how cut throat the competition in interior design is, and i couldnt go back to being a cad mule for someone else. Eventually i took a call and left Arch for User experience design.it was difficult, but ux has so many parallels with arch, so even though I'll miss being an architect, I'll atleast pay my bills. | 0 | 2,489 | 6.5 | ||

I work in environmental marketing now. | It’s a love-hate thing. I think about leaving the profession almost every week. It would be nice to basically double my salary doing something that’s perhaps less stressful. At the same time, my dream is opening a practice, having creative freedom and working with clients, and making decent money doing it. Nothing gets me quite as excited as when I think about the lineage between late baroque Utopianism and early modernism. Or when I stand outside a work of architecture I particularly admire thinking about the cultural environment that lead to its specific conception.

I work in a small architecture firm, but I'm not a licensed architect. My job title is 'building scientist' (I have a bachelors in architecture, but then shifted focus and got a master of applied science in building science) but realistically I'm doing mostly the same work as the other 2 architects in our office. I think working at a small firm with a principal that values work-life balance is a key to my happiness here. There are stressful days and crunch times, but since we are a small firm (5 people total), everyone from the principal architect to our drafters take part in pretty much all aspects of the projects from conceptual design to project management/contract administration. It keeps things feeling more collaborative and fresh compared to what I hear about working in larger firms where people seem to work long hours on repetitive tasks while they don't get to take part in the big picture design processes. | 0 | 10,012 | 1.333333 | ||

Love being at architect. Licensed in the US for 14 years with 18 years total experience. I get to work with great collaborators, good clients, and excellent opportunities. If you love solving problems, communicating ideas, creating designs, there is a place in architecture for you. It’s not the highest paying career, but the money can be very good if you are successful. The trick is to find a place where you are respected and enjoy the people you work with whether it’s a 5-person or 500-person practice. For me, fulfillment has come from working with clients who respect my skills and whom value architecture. These are the ones who welcome you into their lives and allow you to bring them value by letting you do your job well. I hope to have at least 25 more years doing this not because I’ll need the money, but because I love what I do. | 0 | 38,274 | 1.333333 | ||

I think about leaving the profession almost every week. It would be nice to basically double my salary doing something that’s perhaps less stressful. At the same time, my dream is opening a practice, having creative freedom and working with clients, and making decent money doing it. Nothing gets me quite as excited as when I think about the lineage between late baroque Utopianism and early modernism. Or when I stand outside a work of architecture I particularly admire thinking about the cultural environment that lead to its specific conception. I even enjoy coordinating details and working with different consultants to make the thing come to life.

However, he was not wrong. 2) My Father C. 1980, " Son, if you don't wake up in the morning loving what you are doing, find something else to do." He went from being unemployed at age 40 to retiring a millionaire 25 years later. Architecture feeds my soul. So yes, I am happy with it as a profession. I did switch careers for almost 20 years and built custom homes. The main reason was the crappy pay scale. I came back to Architecture because I finally had enough knowledge and talent that I could demand a high salary. Also, at 50 I did not feel like sweating my man bits off in the summer heat anymore. | Yes | 1 | 6,627 | 2 | ||

Could be that I’m in a period right now with reasonable work load. But for the majority of the time I feel happy and fullfilled. I don’t think drawing something, following it through the whole process and getting to se it built ever gets boring. For me it’s also a big interest. I could travel or just walk anywhere in my own town and always find something to be curious about or be inspired of. Again, when I’m not stressed out at work. But I guess most jobs gets stressful in one way or another? | Love the profession. Love being at architect. Licensed in the US for 14 years with 18 years total experience. I get to work with great collaborators, good clients, and excellent opportunities. If you love solving problems, communicating ideas, creating designs, there is a place in architecture for you. It’s not the highest paying career, but the money can be very good if you are successful. The trick is to find a place where you are respected and enjoy the people you work with whether it’s a 5-person or 500-person practice. For me, fulfillment has come from working with clients who respect my skills and whom value architecture. These are the ones who welcome you into their lives and allow you to bring them value by letting you do your job well. I hope to have at least 25 more years doing this not because I’ll need the money, but because I love what I do. | 0 | 23,962 | 4 | ||

Usually am very satisfied. Healthcare work, in particular, provides constant opportunities for growth - learning about how space can help with health/healing is pretty interesting. I will say that it took a few years and some dedicated change in our corporate leadership to focus on appropriate contracts and educating the staff about different contractual responsibilities to improve after a few rocky years. Sounds mundane, but the result is anything but: good management means support for good design. | 1 | 26,192 | 3 | ||

Could be that I’m in a period right now with reasonable work load. But for the majority of the time I feel happy and fullfilled. I don’t think drawing something, following it through the whole process and getting to se it built ever gets boring. For me it’s also a big interest. I could travel or just walk anywhere in my own town and always find something to be curious about or be inspired of. Again, when I’m not stressed out at work. But I guess most jobs gets stressful in one way or another? | 1 | 19,475 | 3 |
