Will there be a follow up video on the new trailer just released

It takes at least 10 years to become an architect in the UK. And it is not worth it. In the UK, anyone that learns to use AutoCAD in KZbin adverte themselves as architect and takes jobs for pennies. Most of my friends struggle with money working as architect. A friend of mine quit architecture and make more money doing Uber Eats delivery. Architects with about 10 years of experience are earning roughly £30k per year (again, people that doesn't speak any English, got no paper to work in the UK are making more money than architects that studied for almost a decade to become ARB member)

Can I ask you why you quit your past firm job? I usually hear "there was a lot of politics in the workplace" but was that also your case?

hey, I tried to download some materials from quixel with my epic games account but instead of downloading it shows me a panel with prices. What do I do?

Math is just a term envious people in different fields use towards architects when they realize how impotent they are in solving spaces professionally.

Great video! I'm actually going through a tough time as I graduated from school almost 3 years ago and still haven't found a job as an architectural technologist. I'm thinking that I should just start doing small projects on my own and I'm also in the process of becoming accredited (this is in Canada and I just started with the membership) so fingers crossed to more opportunities and work in the near future.

I hope this game is a good mix of the real job as an architect, the business 'behind the scene' (accounting, clients, reputation, hire stuff ... ) and because of the name architect LIFE I hope it shows how the life of your Avatar changes (from the little cheap apartment and a mini office for rent to your own mansion and a big company... if you are successful)

Waterfall? 😂😂😂

I’m considering pursuing a masters and career in architecture and your videos are so helpful in learning about the field, what to expect, and what goals to make going into this industry. Thank you, and I hope you keep making this content!

How old is it too old to be an architect?

duet is not 150$ to use so this option is not good anymore

For beginners how do you learn to use the steps of this app ?

It was developed and patented by Vereingte Stahwerke, Duesseldorf in Germany 1926.

Not even 9 to 5 job ...here it's 9 am to 8 pm job.....not even good pay ...ohh ! No pay sometimes 😢

Its a tool, the main point is that you have the freedom to use it. But in a side by side comparison, even the best ai generated images are missing intentionality, and people are still drawn to projects that are incredibly tailored. Tailoring is something you get from conversations with the client. Conversations that are often not about tangible things that ai can reasonbly decifer, even ten years from now.

I'm currently in for urban planning and urban design, but taking some architecture courses to scratch the itch I've always had for architecture

I jxt finished xul

Cost: My wallet:

My school did value the business side of architecture

I’m in a similar boat, I just got licensed and it’s tough negotiating for a better salary. There are several books on architects becoming developers I’ve been reading. I’m looking for ward to hearing about your journey!

this is perfect especially from you already being in the field of architecture already. not many people are documenting this specific scenario. ive seen some videos of people doing fix and flips as an example and of course our field can be very subjective, but some of these people can't even create good spaces as an example or can't differentiate circulation and a living spaces. Cant wait to be able to take advantage of my profession and collaborate it with my love for business as well. IT ONLY MAKES SENSE

Nailed it

I've been saying this same thing for YEARS !!!! 80% of what we are forced to build is ugly. its depressing and sucks. We HAVE to accept peoples opinions who aren't trained in architecture ... why ... just because they have money? WE are the professionals !!! Does you doctor ask YOUR opinion when doctoring? Does your dentist ? Does you lawyer ? So why do we.... WE NEED to become the developers. This is the future / next wave for architecture!!!! Im getting my plot of land and starting. WE ALL need to do the same.

A million dollar advice, as an Architect i spent most of my time searching for better jobs until i worked on some projects for non skilled random developer guys and realised, i am doing all wrong i need some investment and start my own business and now i am saving for 1250 sft residential plot for a starter. You are doing a great job buddy keep it up.

Your videos are very helpful, please keep sharing your experiences

Thank you. That is much needed advice.

I am a fourth year Master of Architecture student and I have been interested recently in development and how to merge the disciplines or at least work in both. It seems to me that the two professions have very different visions for a project. My professors don’t have the knowledge on how to make this idea happen, so I REALLY appreciate this video.

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

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.
