I love how you've managed to consistently make noise-free, valuable and beautiful content. The calm energy that comes out of your videos/stories is making it stand out so much. No noise, no content overload, no constant pitching to sell. It feels so minimal and fluff-free, it's amazing! Keep it up!!

[@contramundum2.0paradigmshi10]

Indeed. Great description.

I think we ALL slept through that class, Eric. Great video as always. Thanks

[@oobabalo]

You are Blessed beyond measure Eric! Wow, thank You for Sharing. Beautiful!.

[@30by40]

glad to help my friend... be well...

[@anassaifi9135]

I love your tube , they are calm because its about architecture , the knowledge & inspiration you give in your videos has been very helpful , thank you, appreciate it

[@dannysze8183]

Mies van der rohe is my all time hero in architecture. he is sophisticated theoretically, aesthetically and technically. I quit my job as an architect because I do not want to project manage shopping malls and residential towers. but I still love reading true 'architecture'. I will design and build my thesis house like Farnsworth house for myself in Scotland someday.

[@mohammadsadran3238]

Glad to see you again Eric, thanks for sharing, we need more of this kind of inspiration.

[@30by40]

100% agree...thank you my friend...

i love the 'silence' in your whole demeanour and practise; it is important and rare. I too work the same way. thankyou. Ibrahim Conlon. Architect, Sydney Australia

[@juanelandri930]

I'm currently Masters student of Architecture in South Africa. I'm just wondering if you can do a video on how one should approach your thesis project not only the design itself but also writing a thesis document and the research that can go with it.

[@Ryanatboulder]

Thank you so much for sharing this! It ties in perfectly to the project I am currently researching for!!!!

[@jan-weber]

Could you make a video how work between architects and civil engineers looks like?

[@30by40]

do you mean coordination?

[@jan-weber]

I mean more like the communication between the architect and the engineer. For example, you have done all your planing work and afterwards you go to a guy who can calculate all the statics. He finds something which is not good and tells you that and you have to change it. and so on... :)

[@30by40]

I see...that's what I would call 'coordination'...it happens throughout the design process so we never have the scenario you describe where something doesn't work...I'll see what I can do for a vid later this spring...

[@jan-weber]

ah ok, you are doing it this way. looking forward for the video in spring.

[@levlad12]

​@@jan-weber During the design process you as an architect have to "guess" where the columns would be and what structural system the building will use , most architects through out the world learn construction systems , statics , and strength of materials , some universities also go deeper into reinforced concrete structures , wood and steel , you can't be completely dull to how the physics of the building are calculated otherwise you'll have a hard time doing anything beside a cube . The engineer than takes your drawing and calculates the loads and does structural analysis , since most architecture firms have engineers employed usually the communication is just a desk away from you , and he just nods with his head or gives you a thumbs up . If you are an architecture student keep in mind that during your carrier in most cases you'll build residential buildings. Good Luck!

[@DavidHooverJr]

Great video, Eric. I got to work with William Brockway at LSU on HABS drawings for the Pentagon Barracks in Baton Rouge, LA. We received Third Place for the 2000 Charles Peterson Prize. Definitely recommend all students and young architects try to be involved with HABS, HAER and the NPS.

[@OneMinuteArchitecture]

This is a really great resource, thanks for sharing!

Our history classes were all after lunch, a horrible time for turning down the lights and listening to the soothing tones of an admittedly seasoned speaker cover the finer points of...I can't remember. That was over 25 years ago.

Hi Erique i watched your vedios & i found one of the best channel for architects

[@cocolocopolo]

I recently found your channel have been hooked on to it since. I am a 2nd year Interior design student and your video on How to Separate Space in an Open Floor Plan helped a lot in my design for the semester. Could you make a video talking about interior spaces and designing?

[@saktitampubolon8193]

So Blessed by your channel my friend... Regards, from Indonesia... God Bless You...

[@naturalbeas]

This is an amazing video. You are awesome like honestly the amount of passion and work that goes into these videos, truly exceptional.

[@AndrewScott123]

I really appreciate the thought and effort you put into your videos. Dreaming of building a home one day and you've opened my eyes to the value of a strong architect and team. Have you considered making a video series to help clients select and work best with their chosen architect?

[@sashanakitende8532]

Thanks for mentioning these resources. I think I will be using them a lot in the future, especially for studying the various layouts of plan, section, details. So nice that they are free! I will have to search for the same sort of site from other countries.

[@helmanaslik8756]

Thank you very much for sharing this!!!

[@Oldhogleg]

That's a good to know resource for historical reference and study. I try to keep an eye out for really old architectural books to keep on hand for reference sources. Found a 1950 third addition Architectural Graphic Standards book in a used bookstore back in the 80's. And I still have my 1970 sixth edition Architectural Graphic Standards that I bought new in the mid 70's. Lost many old architecture books that my father inherited from his architect uncle after a major move in the 80's. Sad loss. In addition to your video, I would also look for inspiration from objects you'll see around you through out your day and travels to get an idea for a design theme, or concept that would give an interesting/unique overall appearance to tie it all together as a whole as apposed to a collection of architectural elements that comes out more like a tossed salad than a coherent whole. I started doing that in the 70's, and the designs I've come up with doing that where typically the ones I liked most, and most satisfying. I've noticed once I got a design theme/concept first, the rest of the design process is so much faster because you don't feel like you're aimlessly stabbing in the dark with disconnected architectural elements/features, but now there's a design free flow to exploit the overall design concept/theme.

You are great inspiration to me .. And a deep motivator...

Hello !! just wanted to say a big THANK YOU for all the amazing work and time you put in these videos myself as a video editor for hobby i know how much time it needs and yeah we appreciate it. Your channel and your work as an architect are really a big inspiration for me as i am currently 19 years old and i was not sure if starting university in interior architecture in Greece is worth it. but after watching all your videos i understood that both interior architecture and architecture share the same knowledge and skills so its a good start for a first bachelor and then an other one in architecture .Thank YOU salutes from greece :P

[@benarmstrong8608]

You are a blessed architect, and as a secondary school student, I'm limited to things like budget, materials, and lots of other things. I can't get out into the real world of architecture until I'm older and am being held back from my true potential. You're videos inspire me so much and I can't wait for more of them everyday. They give me something to think about, something to doodle, something to make every day and I thank you for that opportunity. Of course, I can't make anything like a cabin like yours yet, but when I'm older, my dream is to be a thriving designer/architect. If there are any tips, books, tools or anything you can help me with to get me started in this amazing world of design, then please can you list them down here. Also is there anything you can do to help me with my pursuing dream of being an architect? Thanks you so much for all the work you've done!

[@emmablack3039]

Hi, any advice or opinion on how a concrete with red brick aggregate would look? For an extension on a red brick building? I have made a mini sample of this in the university workshop and it looks good on a small scale however I am unsure on how it would look on a larger scale, I am unable to find any precedent online? Would this suggest it would not look good architecturally? Thanks.

Hi Eric I just want to say your my inspiration and you help me on your videos. I just would like to ask a favor if you could do travel vlogs on around the world series on architecture. Cheers.

Great job Eric!! Thank you for sharing this source and tip. I was wondering if you have any updates on any current work? I enjoy all of your videos because its easy to get something from each one, but I most enjoy the ones with clients and doing the everyday job. It is a great glimpse into what practice is really like, the good and the bad. Have you looked back at some of your old post to see how far you have come in your video/editing? Thank you

Hi Eric, I'm very interested with doing architecture, but I am more for environmental engineering. So I wish to know, from the best of your knowledge, can I get my environmental engineering master's degree then finish up with architecture later? Because I really love both. Anxiously waiting for your reply. By the way, your videos are really cool ;)
