q67o78 | architecture_train | 0.95 | Side 'Hustles' for Architects (UK) Hey Y'all, So I've been a self employed architect in the UK now for coming up to 4 years, before that I was working in Multi-Disciplinary Practices which really wore me down, so now I almost exclusively design home extensions, my client list is good, and my income is a damn sight more than it'd be working for a firm. The problem is, designing extensions or even new build homes in the area I'm in (red brick houses = ew) isn't at all inspiring. So i'm looking for ideas on a side business that i may actually be interested in and that i can express some creativity and actually make money off, in case one day I decide to call it quits. I can do visualisations, But the problem Is, India does it cheaper and quicker, so theres not a whole lot of market for it. I'm open to all ideas, Just need some inspiration. | hgagoc3 | hgbxkcu | 1,633,995,867 | 1,634,025,885 | 2 | 3 | try Fiverr | Do you own a plot of land? I am a self employed architect in exactly your position. The crazy thing is that a technician colleague of mine makes 6 figures churning out warrant drawings. He doesn’t really design but he’s efficient and has minimal risk because they’re not construction drawings (but people clearly build from them). Meanwhile I’m design the ass out of extensions and not making nearly enough of what I should be. So you could streamline what you do, sacrifice creativity for quantity and make bank that way… I ask if you own a plot of land because you could invest in a ‘pod’ and rent it out - we have some land in Skye and looked in to doing that as you can make upwards of £30k a year - some people here have suggested the same thing and I think it’s the most viable. A guy I studied with co-started the bothy project , designing Bothies for artists to go and spend time in the wilderness. Another guy designs them and sells them on his website - do you know any good joiners you could team up with for such a thing? I empathise with you - ‘it’s fair fecht fir a half loaf’, as they say up this way. | 0 | 30,018 | 1.5 | ||

How they group, how they move, when they pause. See what they look at, how they go through doors. How they move up and down stairs. Where they stop to chat. Where they sit. Sketch this. Have some coffee. Relax. Just watch and doodle. Try to spend a whole day doing this. Notice how things change during the day. How the light affects the space. Go to school. Come back after first year and do it again. See what you notice now. Consider how actions are shaped by spaces. Look at lighting. Look at patterns and texture. Consider materials. How do they define the space? Don't worry if this is unclear. It will make sense soon enough. Enjoy the moment. Give the people backstories. See if you can predict actions and gestures. Another year of school. Come back again, watch some more. Rinse, repeat. I've learned more about architecture, people, and design doing this exercise than any theory class or studio alone. You are learning how to observe, analyze, and apply the knowledge from school in a manner that allows you to understand things you may have intuitively known before, but not why. You are learning how to read spaces and how people use those spaces. You are learning how to draw what you see so you can explain it later when used in a project. You are developing case studies for your own designs. It also makes slipping through crowded spaces when in a rush more easy which is a nice bonus. | "101 things I learned in architecture school" is a great place to start. I wouldn't recommend any heavy theory just yet. Any number of books can get you familiar with important buildings and architects. | 1 | 7,448 | 2.714286 | ||
tqj38m | architecture_train | 0.88 | Internship Advice for the summer - should I accept a safe, corporate position or chance a more creative option that is not guaranteed? Hello, I am a third year student in a five year B.Arch program. I have a return offer from a large engineering based corporate firm with 1000-5000 employees nationwide. I was mostly doing easy grunt work when I worked there last summer, simple renderings and line drawings. The work was a little boring but I liked the people I worked with. I have an interview with the a well known art museum in their exhibition design department tomorrow. I was really passionate about exhibition design when I first applied but now I’m somewhat ambivalent, mostly because I don’t really know quite exactly what it entails (but I did require an architecture degree to apply). However I need to sign the offer for the corporate firm by tomorrow! I already got an extension from an earlier deadline so I can’t delay it longer. I also couldn’t move the other interview earlier unfortunately! Does anyone have any advice or input for what I should do? Anything and everything is much appreciated!! Pros of Museum: - Creative - I really like art - Curious about trying something different - More interested in exhibition design in long run Cons of museum: - Not guaranteed offer (but I would say more than 50% chance) - Not sure if looks good on resume compared to something less specific (aka corporate) - Not sure if I actually like exhibition design it’s just something im curious about - Pays less Pros of corporate: - Already received offer - Nice people - Really good mentorship - Possibility of job offer after graduation - Pays slightly more Cons of corporate: - Kind of boring and repetitive work - Need to commute every day - Already worked there so no new experiences | i2htam1 | i2htqa7 | 1,648,506,707 | 1,648,506,920 | 2 | 3 | It's good to have a broad resume, and you regret the things you don't do more than the things you do. If you have the opportunity and want the more creative job give it your all and chaise after it. | Always go the more creative route earlier in your career. You never know what doors will open... | 0 | 213 | 1.5 | ||
w0n2f2 | architecture_train | 1 | Is there an effective way to use my architecture degree to enter the video game industry? I’m currently in my 4th year of undergrad and plan on pursuing an MArch because there’s still more related to architecture that it’d like to learn. However, my background is in art and after interning at an architecture firm, I’m finding I’m more interested in design than being an architect. I particularly enjoy the the possibility of concept art, character design, and environment design. Is there a way I could build my portfolio or even focus my master’s thesis to reflect the necessary skills to enter the vide game industry? Thanks in advance :) | igie11v | igib4s6 | 1,658,060,723 | 1,658,058,785 | 2 | 1 | Yes, but you need to be able to illustrate and model - coding is great for doing conceptual animation and functions. | I'd say that an architecture degree and hopefully some of the software you've come across (sketchup, rhino, autocad, maya, 3ds max, vray, vectorworks, revit, etc.?!) Would look great on a resume. Maybe you've taken some elective courses like 3d animation, photography, theater. Maybe you've used technology such as 3d printers or laser cutters , scanners, etc.. that would all be incredible on a resume. Just divulge the info into a resume and maybe you even have enough ti put a portfolio together a little more geared towards 3d and renders than architecture. | 1 | 1,938 | 2 | ||
cfru5n | architecture_train | 1 | Anyone who has worked at a clerical, traditional, or otherwise mundane architectural firm, what was it like? [Ask] I live in a smaller town outside a major metro area and most of the architecture conforms to an incredibly dull "box" or "quaint" colonial post-card sort of look which is fine, but I just find the aesthetic to be so repetitive and dull. I'm seeing a lot of new construction drudge up this method of building so I known firms are still churning the practical architecture out. For anyone that has ever worked for this sort of firm, what was it like? | euci7ph | euch2i3 | 1,563,675,841 | 1,563,674,901 | 5 | 3 | I’ve worked both sides of the spectrum... young urban modernists and established suburban firms. In my experience the environment at YUM was high-energy, high-stress, with a hair-on-fire approach to project management. Lots of late nights and weekends. Office parties meant fancy restaurants and alcohol. In the ES firms employees were more likely to have families and expect to be able leave at 5pm every day. Weekend work was rare and not something to be proud of. Project managers were more experienced and everything just ran more smoothly. Office parties meant barbecues and lemonade. | It was a job. It wasn't inspiring. It wasn't exciting. But I learned plenty about detailing and I made a living. This sort of architecture has its place. It's affordable, it's comfortable. If every building was a masterpiece, then no building would really be a masterpiece. | 1 | 940 | 1.666667 | ||
cfru5n | architecture_train | 1 | Anyone who has worked at a clerical, traditional, or otherwise mundane architectural firm, what was it like? [Ask] I live in a smaller town outside a major metro area and most of the architecture conforms to an incredibly dull "box" or "quaint" colonial post-card sort of look which is fine, but I just find the aesthetic to be so repetitive and dull. I'm seeing a lot of new construction drudge up this method of building so I known firms are still churning the practical architecture out. For anyone that has ever worked for this sort of firm, what was it like? | eud4cns | eudg71x | 1,563,700,703 | 1,563,716,298 | 1 | 2 | For a little while I worked at a really small firm that was run out of a random repurposed 1960's home. It might be a little bit of a stretch to call the business mundane, but it was really interesting being there. I think they worked pretty efficiently since they all knew each other so well. | I interned one summer in an office doing this because it was close to my parents' home in rural New England. It was just a single architect, with a part time guy making digital models, and me helping on odd tasks. The principal was previously a principal at a larger regional firm in Boston that did modern commercial projects. We worked out of his home office which was a den in his very nicely restored victorian house. Most of the clients were locals he knew himself or occasionally contractor referrals - the work a mix of colonial-style additions and new builds. The work itself wasn't remarkable, but the pace was relaxed, the environment was pleasant, and the clients were locals who would meet for lunch and have a casual discussion of the project and neighborly gossip. So I totally understand why he did it; it's a fun lifestyle and great for raising a family. Not where I wanted to stay though, so after graduating I pursued a career doing high rise commercial projects and international 'high design' work. But I can admire the decency of someone who wants to do ordinary honest work in a community where life is comfortable. | 0 | 15,595 | 2 | ||

wcmi7p | architecture_train | 0.83 | First Job Anxiety? Hey all! Well, I'll try to keep this short. I recently graduated from my 5 year B.Arch program and was able to secure a job at a medium size firm. The pay is decent for a starting position, the office seems fairly nice, and I enjoy the specific role they've placed me in. I'm still waiting on a few more offices to get back to me with offers; but since I'm now paying rent and paying off loans, I'd prefer not to wait another month or two to keep looking. I guess, a part of me is scared that taking this job will "close" other career paths and opportunities I could have possibly taken. There are still other aspects/disciplines within and beyond architecture that I want to explore. I know each job - ideally - builds your skillset and marketability; I'm just a little scared that I'm beginning to lock myself down a single path. I'm assuming I am one of many who felt this after graduating/prior to their first job? What happened later in your careers? | iidle0w | iidg4r6 | 1,659,272,597 | 1,659,269,488 | 14 | 3 | The only thing your first job can do is open more doors. Don't be afraid! Get experience. It is the best thing you can do right now! | Hey! This is a very normal place to find yourself in. I’ve noticed that most people who do architecture go through this sometime or the other, and the reason is mostly because architecture can be a ‘mother of all design courses’ kind of area of study. And once you get into architecture, it kind of opens your eyes up about the different possibilities that exist within and around the realm of design. Don’t sweat it, just start your job with an open mind. Maybe even communicate to your team about this wish to explore allied fields. A lot of firms will help you try new things out once they know you’re open to it. Also you can use your extra time away from the job hours to explore different things by doing freelance work. Helps you make some extra cash and also helps you figure out the stuff you like and definitely don’t enjoy as much.

Anyone anyone set this up but the point of talking about these buildings is the important concept and philosophy that their architect set up that you can usually find in plans, sections, elevations, etc. | Rendering engines nowadays are pretty impressive, allowing 3D models of buildings created with BIM software to have walkthroughs. Enscape, Lumion, and UnrealEngine4 are some of the rendering plugins that ive had some experience. UE4 even allows you to export the model as an exe to run and "play" as you would with a first person game. Some even allow you to publish online to do a walkthrough on an internet browser. | 0 | 6,927 | 3 | ||

I work in ue4 and it’s pretty easy to set up a game map of an architectural whatever and run around in it, or package it into a playable game for a client. But. When I say easy, I don’t mean fast. And the quality of the 3D model can vastly influence the quality of your final product. Revit exports some pretty crunchy geometry and I often end up remodeling the whole building in metric in maya. That way it can be properly uv’d. | So basically a digital model of a building with live V Ray ray tracing on a Virtual Reality headset?

Most new construction could probably last that long, though you might need a roof replacement at some point. Where you live will have a big impact on how much maintenance a house requires. If you're out in the desert there's almost no maintenance needed, of you're in a snowbelt you might have occasional leaks and mold and stuff to deal with. But there are legions of homes here in the US that are a century old and doing just fine. Building techniques weren't that different in 1922 than they are today. The average house in the US is probably at least fifty years old. Fifty years ago is only the 1970s. For eco friendly that's a different story and you'd have to drill down what you mean by that. Low carbon footprint? No VOCs? FSC woods? Recyclable materials? Solar? Your own cistern for water? That's a very broad category. | 1 | 6,573 | 2 | ||

The carbon embodied in new materials is simply going to entail more emissions than any existing home. So, if you are going to build a new home, understand its not the best eco-friendly option. By all means, build a house if you want to build a house, but understand the complete picture.... I say this as someone who is in the process of building a house. If you want to build a house with minimal impact on the environment, you should look for local materials. You could do a locally sourced timber framed straw bale home with a permanent wood foundation, recycled metal roof. It should be small and efficient. Here is a decent article on straw-bale homes: https://www.finehomebuilding.com/2018/10/10/houses-design-case-straw-bale-houses | If you live in the right climate, you can build in solid brick. http://hopeforarchitecture.com/buildings/closer/look-1 | 0 | 10,291 | 3 | ||

So I can swap elements. Maybe expand in 50 years. Thick walls with minimal openings exept for the northfacade for minimising heating and cooling expenses. Making roof out of solar panels are always an option or adding wind turbines might. Going gray on paint might be logical for wear and tear. We dont do any timber construction in Turkey so I defaulted to steel. | 1 | 7,559 | 3 | ||

It will take a lot of research for where and what. Most sustainable is to reuse as much of an existing building as possible. All buildings will require some level of maintenance and repair over time but certain materials will require less frequency of repairs. Key to longevity is annual maintenance and care. Over time, technology of materials and products improve. For example, a 100 year building may have great bones but it’ll have windows that are single pane and drafty, but replacement is warranted for better insulated windows for energy savings in heating the building. So 50 Years from today, there could be a product that is going to improve your building so greatly that you’ll want to replace or retrofit it even if not broken because it will benefit the environment in some way. | 1 | 7,136 | 3 | ||
