Architecture, Design + Photography Podcast (+ Conversation)

A conversation between two architecture school graduates who followed very different paths but share a similar approach to work + life. This video is an excerpt from my conversation with Trent Bell, an award-winning architectural photographer, as we chat in my studio. You'll also join us behind the scenes as he photographs one of my residential projects.
For the full interview check out Trent’s (new) Architecture, Design & Photography podcast: www.trentbell.... a project he launched with Maine Home + Design magazine.
Trent is a gifted photographer, videographer and thinker and I was honored to be included in season one. Watch the full video here: • A Conversation with Er...
In this video we discuss:
Working for someone else
The entrepreneurial business approach most architects avoid
Where one's personal design style originates
One habit I consider the key to success
My time management hack (you might not like it)
What makes "good" architecture (watch the full video on Trent's channel to hear my answer + more )

[@dxdx5638]

I hope there will be 30x40 podcast. I love to hear the struggles of designer and how they overcome throughout the adversity and balancing all these challenges to remain true to their creativity path. Thank you for sharing your journey. I love your workspace +studio . Truly inspiring

[@robs5252]

It is amazing how everyone finds their own path after school. Along the way you either discover yourself, or you find a niche that you never thought of. For me, I always wanted to be an architect, ever since I was a freshman in high school (1988) taking architectural drafting classes. After all of those years I finally landed a job with an architectural firm in 1997 and realized it wasn't for me.

[@agustinrojas841]

why?

[@benjian1371]

idk if you're still active but im kinda curious about how you felt and what you did after realizing that it's not for you

[@tiaanmoggee6786]

WOW I just discovered your KZbin page... This is the first video I'm watching of you. You have no idea how this made me channel my passion for architecture again! I am an architect that has been working for 3 years and studies, and aspiring landscape photographer..I recently got into fitness and realized there's a hole world of free information on KZbin, and I consumed hours of it and taught myself everything I need to know about the industry. It never occurred to me that there are architects doing the same thing with a KZbin channel! Watching your content is very entertaining and educational, and I appreciate you doing the effort to produce this content! I'm definitely want to push my skills of architecture more and more, and people like yourself will help abundance ! Thanks!!

[@shinnoke8]

Hej, I love this kinda podcast session between architecture and photography thought, experience and honesty. It really inspired me, you almost answer all those question. Keep doing it and let us inspired by you, I'm Interior and really love your work and your studio. At the moment i don't have a friends to share thought regarding creativity other than my wife. Yeah, Soon i will find somebody. Thank you very much for your inspired.

[@rswc55]

I can't tell you how much you have helped me to clarify and define what kind of business person and architect I want to be. Bit by bit I'm tackling it. Thank you.

[@victoryveshinojosa]

"Being on the edge of failure"....so true. Great video.

[@30by40]

Appreciate that my friend...100% agree...

[@kiodour]

I purchased your book a while back. Been watching your videos for quite some time now. I admire the growth and passion emanating from you. Cheers!

[@30by40]

Appreciate that my friend...thanks for sticking with me!

[@nabeelnazirahmed1895]

Hey you should do a podcast discussing the collaboration between an architect and a structural engineer. I'd find that really interesting.

[@jalc11]

Not just structural engineers, we need to collaborate with all engineers. From reducing the number of columns in a space to locating air devices on a ceiling, architects and designers must pay attention to all aspects of the built environment.

[@davidkonevky7372]

Your taste is great! It is modern but it has a lot of personality to it, most houses today can feel a little cheesy, so seeing someone make a little spin on the current trends is awesome

[@LoLasheLoL]

Loved this fruitful discussion keep it up!

[@sakshichachre7427]

This really helped me to know what architecture is as a subject after highschool. After watching this vid I'm able to figure out what it is actually, from being an architecture student to a well established architect. Thank you very much sir for such an informative video. :-)

[@30by40]

Cheers my friend...many paths to take as well, Trent went to archi-school, started an architecture practice and then moved into architectural photography and filmmaking...an architectural education can be leveraged many ways...

[@krisrybarczyk9125]

30x40 I love your content. For future videos could you please demonstrate all pictorial views that architects use (1 pt, 2pt perspective). I think many would benefit!

[@lol_dehyde]

Much needed!

[@JM_Architecture]

Awesome podcast! This is really good content! Thank you so much, Eric! You're an inspiration and have opened my eyes to new ideas for architecture. Hope to reach as many as you have with my own channel.

[@30by40]

Cheers my friend...keep making things...

[@vishals50]

Very insightful conversation, Also beautiful house shown photographed.

Late in my successful practice/career I was asked “what was the secret to my success?” I answered “fear”.

Sir can we get a video about how you prepare your sheets....I love the The red labeling specially.. what details you add it leave out

[@30by40]

I'll see what I can do...

you've seen this one, right: CAD Drawings + TEMPLATE tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqTFd4SIlNBlm7s

[@ashelyanderson2370]

That is where I'm at and letting go these hamster wheel jobs will be so liberating. How do you notify your clients?

[@30by40]

Presuming the jobs you're working on are small you finish them out (honor your commitments, right?) Then, you have to be resigned to saying "no" to any new inquiries that look like the old ones (too small, commercial, bad fit, etc.) Good luck...you'll be glad you took this (rather difficult) step!

[@zahinn7445]

Hi Eric ! I am a mechanical engineering student who is really interested in learning more about architecture and design. How do architects factor in critters when creating spaces that transition from indoor to outdoor? Also, are their examples of buildings that successful strike a balance between technology based climate control and passive climate control through design? Thanks!

[@litoboy5]

amazing !!!

[@DavidBrown-hi7xk]

Just found your channel and have loved everything I’ve seen, especially the sketching/model making videos! Really awesome content and your point of view is fantastic. I’m a furniture making and maybe an idea for a furniture video might be how you view furniture and such in your design process (if you consider it at all that is!) just an idea but thank you for the fantastic work!

Ah, the millennial vibe, must be a happen'n architect. Back in the day everything was with "canary" paper, mechanical inking pen sets, slide rules, masking tape, drawing boards, x-axcto blades etc.
