I think his Euorpean career is a masterpiece of layout and planning and avant garde, and his American work is a masterpiece of openness and proportioning. He knew when to build rules and when to break them, and the beauty that could be achieved by knowing that. He's not always my primary interest at any given point, and I love a lot of architects. But he's the framework I view all others within.

u49376 | architecture_train | 0.78 | How do I become an Architect? I am nearing the end of my physics undergrad and even though I do love crying over multivariable calculus and screaming into the void over quantum mechanics.. I've always had an appreciation for architecture, and I've always been a bit more creative than mathsy/logical. An architect was my first dream job at age 6! These days I procrastinate by building cardboard forts using amazon boxes, a craft knife and glue gun for my kitten (she loves to help whilst making them and knows whatever I'm doing is for her lol) As I said I'm nearing the end of my degree with not a clue about what to do next. I'd like some advice on potential steps to take in order to become an architect. I also have a lot of questions (feel free to answer any or none): What kind of qualifications are needed, what kind of softwares are really useful to be familiarised with, are there any masters courses out there that take confused physics undergrads, what are the different categories of architects (like different things designed Im aware its not just buildings), do you work for a firm/freelance/government, does it provide enough income to live comfortably (average salary for US and UK), what do you spend most of your day doing as an architect, is it scary, are you confident when you design something, does it involve using your hands sometimes (like building models maybe?), do you love it, do you have enough freedom to express yourself creatively, what are the levels of architect (like from the bottom all the way to the lucky ones who design whole skyscrapers and have them built?) Any insight, advice, answers to questions I havent asked but should ask or realistic verbal slaps to the face appreciated :) | i4u8yji | i4u5qtq | 1,650,035,328 | 1,650,033,978 | 6 | 5 | >What kind of qualifications are needed, It changes from country to country and even state to state. Assuming you’re American, you’ll need to log several thousand hours of work experience under a licensed architect before you can take the AREs (architectural registration exams), a series of 6 difficult licensure tests. If you pass all 6, you’re a licensed architect. Some states don’t have a degree requirement to start taking the AREs, but most of them do. If you’re an American, I’d check to see what your state requirements are, because you might need to obtain a Bachelor’s in architecture or Master’s in architecture or you might not. >what kind of softwares are really useful to be familiarised with, You should know AutoCAD and Revit at the very least to get a job in an architecture firm. For school you should know those two as well as Photoshop and Illustrator. Knowing SketchUp might be good as well. >are there any masters courses out there that take confused physics undergrads, There are! The university I did my Master’s in accepted students with non-architectural backgrounds, although these students had a longer Master’s program than the students with architecture backgrounds (3 years versus 2). >what are the different categories of architects (like different things designed Im aware its not just buildings), Although there are some very specific categories like landscape architecture, most of the work you do will be dictated by the firm you work for.

You catch my drift. >does it provide enough income to live comfortably (average salary for US and UK), Average salary for a licensed architect in the US is around $80,000 a year. That’s enough money to live a nice upper middle class existence in most of the US, but you’re not gonna be rich. >does it involve using your hands sometimes (like building models maybe?), Very, very rarely do architects ever get involved in model making in the professional world. If a firm needs a model built, they will often hire a professional to build it, or if the firm is fancy enough they may have employees whose sole job is to build models (this is what SOM does). >do you love it I like it as a friend. >do you have enough freedom to express yourself creatively Not really, if you’re looking for creative expression I’d suggest picking up an instrument or learning to paint.

There are architects which have specialized in doing just that. I personally never did one outside of university.

It's not as free and creative as I thought it would be, but again, I've only worked for construction companies, so the focus was more technic than aesthetic.

Gold, bronze, murals, real hardwood that takes decades to grow to be correct is very expensive when the whole purpose is to design an apartment complex or an office tower. It's much more expensive, the final details we often see usually require skilled craftsmen, the type to brag online about their 50$ an hour job type of craftsman. It takes so much longer and while it's neat to look at the reason the glass box isn't so cool anymore is that it's become more commonplace. It's hard to get investors to buy into building something with less space and availability while spending more because we want to have gold motifs and hand-carved gargoyles. | 1 | 37,773 | 1.5 | ||

If you liked Modernism, read Towards a New Architecture by Corbusier. If you like classical architecture, read Vitruvius. If you like post-modernism, read Venturi. If you are more interested in the actual buildings, there are many good books about specific buildings. It'd probably be easier to google historical books on specific buildings and styles. There are many great biographies of specific architects too. | 0 | 1,617 | 3 | ||

From what I've heard, there isn't too much of a difference as long as they're accredited.

NC State is set up this way, for example, where you graduate with a 4-year BEDA and then reapply for the 5th year to get your b.arch. Not sure how common that is. If it were me, I’d narrow it down to the two most affordable schools if you like them equally otherwise. | All firms ask for a professional degree straight out of school but once you get experience that's out the window. I graduated with a B.S. and just worked my way towards licensure since you're going to be in a firm getting AXP hours anyway. But to make things simple, go for the B.Arch then decide if 1.5-2 year masters is worth it or not. The 3 year masters program can vary based on the school but basically having to do architecture school again doesn't sound fun. | 0 | 7,223 | 5 | ||

Having masters opens a lot of doors both in the field or if you want to work outside of it. Where I live most people did B.Arch. I have absolutely been given more opportunity because i am one of the few have a graduate degree. I am technically more educated than firm leadership If you really want to open doors do a 4+3 with a bachelors in another field like business management etc. | All firms ask for a professional degree straight out of school but once you get experience that's out the window.

Although I am not in this field- I did do this for my path. Even did some spread sheets. Many had gone on later to add other enhanced degrees and designations. I also flat out asked several people in different parts of my education. Not only were they realistic and kind ... I also lined up internships and eventually job offers. | 1 | 42,941 | 1.2 | ||

I did the BS.Arch at UVA and I’m currently back at UVA for the M.Arch. You are correct, UVA is a 4+2 program versus the 5 year “one and done” at other schools. I took two years off (conveniently during the worst of COVID) and worked in architecture following graduation before returning, but that was always my plan. I feel I have returned to school as a graduate a better architect and student as I have the professional experience to reinforce my decisions. Yes it means I am a bit older than my peers who went straight in from undergrad but I don’t regret my decision of school or path in the slightest. I’ve loved my time not only at SARC but UVA as a whole and I’m happy to answer any questions about either. | Will you get in-state tuition or a full ride scholarship at any of them?
