Dynamic style of civil engineering ❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊😊

at least for me this was using my cpu to run it as a monitor so make sure its not unless you have a good cpu

Yes, I had the privilege of working in different areas of architecture over the past 20 years. Drafting, design, renderings, photography , content creation and even working in the construction management side as an assistant project manager and assistant site super. As a lover of this industry, they were all fun. I settled on photography and renderings and started my own business for it because like you said, that's the best way to get more control of your salary. it's also very difficult and time consuming as well, with many sacrifices.

Well this wasn't so helpful to new users, your not really explaining what your doing with the tools to achieve what you have👎

Interesting your points about drafters vs architects. Im in Australia here we have two classifications, Building designers (drafters) and Architects. I studied building design and am considering going on to also study architecture. I have worked for both BDs and Architects. In my experience, architects often have a muh better understanding of artisctic theory and design principles but building designers often seem to have a more thorough understanding of construction and details.

Thanks for the vid... I myself weighted my options as certified Wealth manager can only go so far age-wise. Now I've invested heavily in AutoCAD as a draughtsman in RSA... AND YES architecture is a luxurious Field which few can afford,I prefer to be a pragmatist

pumpernickel ;)

I believe people in the UK value money differently than we do lol

If not for this guy.... I would have chosen the wrong and/long path.... I was studying architecture and in third year i decided to switch to CM, i think im more happier and excited about my future now.... This is why i had to quit Architecture school 👇👇 kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZTKZmusoLyWrs0

70k gbp is like 90k usd

25:18 Editing AI images is actually a massive pain. Open them in photoshop and you will see. All colour values are averages perfectly across all channels. Funny

The opening clip is obviously in pounds sterling😂

I am a technical designer. I think the way to really make money in Architecture now is to get really good with arch viz and post a lot on social media. Find your own clients or do B2B

as one, i am not seeing anyone jumping ship. I started out in architecture, went to western michigan for CM degree and yeah the starting jobs are more available, but if you want to OWN your own firm and live freely, then being an architect is super profitable. I left the CM field and went back to doing architecture for large home builders and would never go back.

Just curious why not both? In Australia Architects are paid quite well especially independent ones. It's usually a fixed % of construction costs and with how expensive home builds are it ads up. Architecturally designed homes are anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times more expensive than a standard home from a volume or custom builder. I always felt like Engineering and Architecture was the killer combination. Two very expensive and time consuming skills that can ruin your project profitability. Imagine being on a construction site and being able to re-engineer plans or designs as needed. Minimal downtime. You can also check all the structural compliance which is expensive to fix and if designs don't quite work you can adjust them on site. If I could do it all over again I'd probably do Architecture and Civil Engineering.

I'm impressed, I always thought architecture was a well paying job specifically for how demanding it is

still planning on getting b.arch but doing PM internship this summer-gotta diversify yk

I was just making 52k USD a year doing remodeling with 2 years experience and no school… 😮

We need to unionize architecture so we can get paid a living wage

Hey I’m a big fan been for years funny story I plan on doing construction management as a minor & architecture as a major I have a friend that’s vise versa and he likes it better

The video you're reacting to is from the UK where the average salary is 30k. Getting almost double average salary is not something to snear at

Finally finished my master degree in the US and am now recovering from resulting burnout. I have a full-time entry-level position at a midsized firm near a major city and I make 54k salary. I've been working there for 3 years. There's massive turnover at my firm rn. People are leaving to find work elsewhere that pays more. This is a big issue right now. The reason I am staying at my firm rn is because we have decent work/life balance, which you mentioned as well. I'm afraid to leave this place and end up somewhere that stresses me out more. I'm not licensed yet. Next step is studying for my AREs. I also chose this career path because of the flexibility it allows. But stability is also super important, and I'm struggling now to find the answer to this problem of working for "the man" vs doing what I actually want to do freelance. Management at my firm rn is fighting tooth and nail to try to justify to our clients that they should be paying us more for the work that we do. Tight profit margins are putting pressure on us as employees to work as quickly as possible. The vibe I get is that we are charging very competitive fees and have realized that it's not actually sustainable, and now clients are like "hey, we paid this much for x number of years, how come you're suddenly asking for more??" Well, because people are leaving the firm bc they aren't getting paid enough... I worked full time while doing grad school remotely full time. It was HELL. But it allowed me to pay for all of my grad school out of pocket. I do have some student loans still from undergrad. Grad school cost me over 50k during a period of about 2.5 years. I can't say that I recommend working full time and doing grad school full time together. It destroyed my mental health and now I am reaping the negative effects of that. This career path is hard as f. And you're right, the rewards for all my work are feeling.... less than ideal. I spend almost half my take-home on rent alone. I would like to be able to support a family someday, and I just don't know... it feels out of reach at the moment.

I quit after 17 years. It's true what that guy is saying. I'm a residential contractor now and my first year with my own company I have done almost 400k worth of work and i have taken my contractor percentage.

Well said Julio. The university system is designed to absorb as much time from the student as possible, so they make the most amount of money. Instead of preparing you for the next step of getting licensed, they suck the time out of you building stupid physical models. I wouldn't consider it a good return on investment.

Please get deeper into development I'm a student just finishing my lower division division courses. Would want to leverage my license in the future on top of having a love for business and investing.

When i was in my teens working construction A builder asked me what i was going to do when i grew up. I told him I was interested in architecture. He said if i Learned Autocad he would pay me $$$ to draw houses for him. I took an Autocad class at my tech school for free thanks to pell grant. I make multiple times more than architects in my area. And there are tons of consulting architects and engineers when i need one.

Voting for a huge pool in his house, but it has be unique (maybe original form going from the outside to the inside idk + jesus statue in the center) P.S. Just found your channel, +1 fan here. Thinking for a long time to do stuff like this, so I appreciate your work, keep doing it :)

Thank you dude

As an outside observer, I don't see AI taking the architect job even if it may seem so. The major problem of "ai" is the lack of originality, which is why it will do wonders in removing the repetitive designs of basic houses and complexes, instead working on more artistic expressions of architecture like the Jewel Changi Airport in Singapore will be the future of architects.

More architecture schools should incorporate co-op learning and get us into offices that gatekeep positions before we graduate so we have a chance to learn irl architecture work before we come in and get ridiculed

Ai rendering is great for concepts and brainstorming quickly but I agree its definitely not for full presentation images. I hope students still learn real end of just ai since employers won’t be able to use just ai images.

21:30 that stuff with a picture you can do locally with Krita or with Easydiffusion. But although it takes a minute to generate the image, to get the prompt just right might take hours. All in all it might be faster that doing it by traditional ways but it has to be the right tool for the right image. And after you get the inspiring image, you still have to make the plans manually. 11:30 agreed : an AI editor that can modify a project based on prompts would be more useful than an AI creator. As an architect I would love to generate useful projects and then analise and modify them in a fraction of the time it takes now. Unfortunately the AI tools we have today are not all that useful. They might get better very soon - we'll see. As with doctors and other professions that require human interaction, I believe architects can only be replaced when the following criteria are met : - the AI should be at an intelligence level and training that surpases all human architects - the AI should be inside a robot that can survive on building sites - the AI should be recognized by law and authorities in order to get the project approved - the AI should be desired by clients (friendly, very cheap, etc) - after the first AI designed buildings are made, some time will need to pass in order for the public to trust living inside those buildings. by the time all this happends, the building sites will allready be automated so there will be no need for drafting plans, as all info will be trasmitted robot to robot and maybe local authorities will also be automated and you will be asking a robot for permits.

Currently working in an archviz studio as a 3d modeler. So far hasn't feel like the demand is plummeting. What i see a lot recently is clients are starting to bring their AI render or other generated images (like funiture and decor designs) as their references and basically ask us to recreate it more precisely to their required specs. Which a lot of time is a pain because lot of it are organic and complex stuff

my major is cooked bro its my first term in interior design

I still believe you guys will be needed, but team will be a little smaller, like 30%smaller! (I'm mech engg)

Nice video Pumpernickel

pumper...😃

I want AI to check door & window schedules for me. 😛

I lieterally stopped wanting to create and render when I added this ai render that renders my sketchup files more amazingly that I ever could!

With respect to my colleagues, pointing out limitations of current iterations of AI apps is not an indication that these limitations won't be eliminated within a time-frame of 5-10 years. At the current level of AI/LLMs even at this early stage are capable of eliminating 60-70% of typical billable hours. I am not talking about DALL-E, Stable Diffusion but purpose trained Models

recently came across your channel and I've been loving your videos

lol. great take man. I honestly know there are people that are happy with a "give me whatever" approach for design. but for the majority of clients that have no idea what or how they want it, we're nowhere near close to ai publishing a complete work set.

Architecture school its about the basics and principles, its about learning how to read all this many paths. The rest comes with experience (dedication and practice as well) there is no way anyone can understand Architecture as a whole if you don't experience all of these process. Model making teaches you about scale, free hand o technical drawing, to express the first ideas or a primary concept. It is not about the best software, AI or business as well. As an architect myself I understood there are many approaches to the practice, you get to choose what better suits you, that is why Arch School may seem outdated, but students still have to learn Architecture. Practice worldwide, it's different, it is not even for no one. I think this video critique has some frustration underneath, no offense. I get that nowadays you have to be practical and efficient but at the end tools are tools, they don't solve stuff, mind with problem solving does.

You speak directly out of my soul! I am now at the end of the Master, only missing my thesis. Here in Austria its exactly the same. Its more like an art school than anything else. One professor also warned us in the first semester that this school doesnt prepare you for the job life and we have to basically learn all by ourselves...

Ive been through architecture school. It’s not all design. Its 50% design and 50% theory, management, statics, materials&systems, digital tool tutorials, etc. The design is the most important part of a building (when we think about its entire life, and not just construction) so it makes sense that that is the focus. It takes years of dedication to hone your skills in design. If you want to learn how to be a project manager, take a project management specific course, if you want to be a draftsman go to drafting school. To be honest the rest of architecture comes to you if you understand design in a really real way. But maybe thats just my experience, one that started with passion.

It just seems misleading. I have my M.Arch and have been working a couple years already. Although i see the connection, the education and practice are completely different.
