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.

They have hemp building blocks that are net carbon zero and actually filter as they support a home. Concrete and cement or actually pretty good means of building materials and with three-dimensional printing you can build a very good home that way as well. In architectural engineering too, there’s actually different degrees and dimensions a house can be built in order to maximise both sunlight exposure in airflow through the seasons. The most efficient style house to build is a one floor home with a cellar or basement ideally not in a valley or near a flood plain but close to fresh ground water and fertile soil. The more land you have the better too and that land should also have some mature growth forests or timberland so fire fuel source and the maintain soil enrichment. Trees also create shelter for a diverse ecosystem and help prevent wind tunnels that cause tornadoes and wind storms. They also keep lightening away from any man made structures too. A good gateway into understanding economy building that can for ages look into the style of the Shinto Buddhists temples in Japan and the aforementioned building materials.

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 | 33,956 | 2 | ||

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. | Post and beam.

rknm78 | architecture_train | 0.7 | I (non-architect) want to start an architecture/development company with architects and developers. My tenants (in an office I own) are well experienced architects who do houses, interiors, retail fit-outs, etc. My other tenant (in an apartment I own) is now developing a villa. I have already introduced them so that on the next development project, my apartment tenant will be using the office tenant for his architecture needs. However, I want to do more... I read the other day someone said they were making a very good amount of money in the "architect as a developer" business model. I have the capital to support a new development and I now how to take the loss as a new business owner. I have experienced architects. I have a guy who knows how to build villas. My wife is also an architect who hasn't had the chance to really develop a career because we started a family but she has some experience. I myself have started and ran 2 businesses over the last 20 years (in a different sphere) so I can manage a company of 50-100 people, revenue in the 1-10 million/year range, pretty well. My father in law also has a repair/construciton company (mostly focuses on repairs but has also built 2 townhouses). I even have a bunch of people around me looking to invest money into businesses. I feel like I have the ingredients to start a good architecture/development business by putting all this together but before I do and I'd like to read up on the business model. Any books/reading material/resources you guys could suggest? Advice/opinions/warnings/comments on the idea is also highly appreciated! Not really relevant but I almost invested in a full-on architecture/development company as a partner 10 years ago. Someone I know had started it and he had succesfully completed two apartment buildings but I dodged a bullet because the guy's entire empire was shutdown (purely political reasons, not related to his actual work). But now I think building from the ground-up is a decent possibility. Maybe I'm delusional. | hpavn4c | hpbxsqg | 1,640,013,076 | 1,640,028,882 | 2 | 3 | It seems like all the pieces are there. Just a question of how to put it all together. Why do you want all the overhead and stress of day to day office? As you point out - it's risky business. Why not be the developer GC - hire your tenant architects to do the design and your wife to be the owners rep / boss? With or without your FIL construction co (this is a disaster waiting to happen). Together you can do 2 or 3 projects a year and keep all the profits without all the overhead and liability? Spend winters in Mexico. | I want to point out that the benefit of the "architect as developer" is that the designer is the decision maker.

ga3p8y | architecture_train | 0.91 | How do I build a design/arch. portfolio for graduate school application without an undergrad in design/architecture? I graduated last spring with a B.S. of Economics, minor in Finance. Before college I had a strong interest in pursuing architecture, but admittedly I was younger, immature, and lazy at the time and didn’t want to grind for it. A year out of school and into a real job (data analytics) I’m rather unfulfilled in the departments of creativity, design, and working with my hands. My school is the only in-state school that offers a masters in Architecture, or a bachelors for that matter. A requirement for all applicants, whether you have prior experience in an undergrad architecture/design program or not, is required to submit a design/work portfolio.

Just looking for some guidance so I can begin working on whatever it is I should put together. I can’t apply until this winter so I have time to work. Main questions I have are: What should someone like myself create to put in a portfolio?

I’d incorporate the skills you have in data analytics and economics. Analyze some existing buildings or neighborhoods as a system etc. | I went to a M Arch program after graduating with a BS in Engineering, and I can comment from my personal experience that you do not need a prior degree to develop a portfolio that will get you admitted into a reputable M Arch program. In my admissions portfolio, I included things like my (very untrained and unrefined) sketches, paintings, some small wood working projects I had undertaken, a little photography, and then a few nice photographs that documented hobbies of mine that involved some sort of analysis or critical thinking. For example, I took apart and restored an old film camera while in undergrad, so I showed some photographs of the camera neatly "exploded" and then reassembled and explained the process by which I repaired it. I think I also put in a spread explaining an engineering school project I had done which basically showed how to calculate timber beam sizes for a cantilever off a bridge and basically resorted to putting in a sketch of the project and a simplified version of the calculations. Nothing I showed was even close to proper "architecture". The goal of these portfolios is show showcase your ability to think critically and problem solve first and foremost. If you can also show some ways in which you are able to visually represent information (i.e. well done photography, thoughtful sketches, etc) that's also beneficial. For a candidate like yourself, it's more about showing potential than showing super notable prowess in an architecturally specific way. If you're in filmmaking and photography, you do not need to show architectural photography specifically if you don't want. A good critic or evaluator will be able to see the way you frame views and such and appreciate that for its skill and potential from samples of your best work, whether or not its architectural in nature. If you're able, have a friend who works in architecture or a faculty member at the prospective university page through a draft as well to give you feedback. If you're not used to laying out content in a portfolio format, they can make sure you aren't showing work in a distracting way graphically and also help you hone in on what sort of work samples would be most effective. As a final anecdote, I came across my admissions portfolio when doing a purge of files a few years back, and I cringed at how remedial it seemed after graduating and working in the field for awhile. But, I can tell you I graduated at the top of my M Arch class so even if you have a portfolio that isn't perfect or isn't architectural yet, that is not indicative of your ability to succeed in architecture school. | 1 | 5,195 | 2 | ||

But if you want grow so you can succeed I have the following suggestions in no particular order: Draw every day. Draw from life and draw your imagination. Learn to write clearly. Take an interest in subjects outside of technology and design - history, politics, economics. Learn to argue and learn to listen. Learn to speak publicly. Visit and observe all buildings, mundane and great. Architecture is about building technology, form and shape. Being an architect is to learn about people, community, environments, and help generate solutions to problems with planned space. Good luck! | Do a Google image search for “observational drawing” and “still life drawing”. Maybe “travel sketch”. A two-point perspective sounds too rational. Look at shape, light, shadow, and texture. | 1 | 17,030 | 1.333333 | ||
