as someone hoping to be an architecture student, this gives me some amount of hope that i’ll have a chill little routine. i don’t really like having too much structure, but no structure generally means i get nothing done. def a motivational video for me!! (it’s also so peaceful and calming

[@jadelau]

you will if you prioritise your health and sleep and social life !! hard to do bc there's always so much work to do but its possible :'))) sometimes x

[@alistair_grace]

this is so true like so many people just talk about the negative side. it’s so nice to see someone just living their life and showing both sides.

[@blackvelvet8641]

this is the chillest architecture student vlog i've watched. reminds me that college doesn't have to be murderous

[@jadelau]

hehe im so glad! I hope it stays this chill for a little longer :')

[@donh3756]

it’s exactly what you make it!!

[@withlovelydia0000]

Iam an arch student and i feel it to be draining at times, finding ur vlog helped me think it in a different positive perspective, im trying to be more relaxed and u help a lot. Thanks :)))

[@vic.tokidama]

This is what I want in life. Studying, living alone, have good food to eat with someone ♡ but my country (Argentina) is having a hard time with the economy, and I don't think I will ever live like this ;(( Loved the vlog❣ also everything is so pretty 😭😭❣

[@liveabovethecanopy9219]

Everyone involved in the built environment, whether you are an Architect, Engineer, Town Planner, policy maker etc. consider the following: every time we lay a slab or build a road we are taking up a physical footprint. That footprint at some point in time was an ecosystem for flora and fauna and now will be destroyed. Biodiversity is eroding at a rapid pace however we can slow this pace and perhaps stop it. So when talking to your clients, designing, building, planning, consider how can you do it to create space for the natural environment to thrive on that site or zone. It may mean elevating the building off the ground, it may mean creating connections between buildings above the ground. It may mean creating a pedestrian city, it may mean creating green spaces on a facade, it may mean creating a new zoning regulation that says yes, this is residential zone but also a zone for re-wilding, or where a zone can be commercial but with the restriction that the current ecosystem may not be disturbed. Nothing is impossible, clever solutions exist and you could help to create them. Please comment ideas and thoughts and solutions. Please also consider sharing this message whenever you see a good piece of architecture, technological solution, or process that could aid an equitable existence between humans and nature. Or when you see a terrible piece of architecture, technology or process. Speak up, and implement change, we can have a better future for ourselves, our children and nature.

Specially for architectural softwares ? And i heard that you need to buy auto cadd separately is that true?

oh i feel the pain! dont stress about it too much, it sounds like you know what you want kinda? and worst case you can always change degrees if it wasn’t what you thought! my sister actually plays tennis varsity and studying medicine so its definitely doable with most degrees it just depends how much you priorities each thing? :’) good luckkk you’ll figure it out ☺️✨

depends how you see it! i find it a lot ‘easier’ than memorising and doing exams where you’re tested for knowledge but at the same time it’s difficult because you get judged for work you produce which feels more like a personal attack hahah you should definitely do it if you want to!
