First Q&A - Taking on some BIG Questions

[@talkinghat88]

I am not in your industry but your genuine character makes your videos so interesting and rewarding to watch. Thank you.

[@mimiarreola188]

I was working out while watching this. I could listen to you talk about architecture all day! Thanks for reinstalling the love of architecture back in me.

[@jonathanalvinrays..7070]

These short clip videos give a nice gist of an architects career.... Bravo, Dami!!!😎😎

[@DamiLeeArch]

Thanks a lot 🙏🙏🙏

[@thesamuelkim]

I’m not even a architecture student but watched this video to learn more about the insider day to day aspect of the job, and it seems like imposter syndrome is something most students/early career professionals struggle with synonymously across most industries. I can only imagine the pressure of communicating your ideas surrounded by a group of technical engineers. I Really appreciate sharing your experience so openly. Your studio looks like an awesome space to be in as well. Cheers!

[@jctoves]

The, “Mechanical engineers like to talk about toilets,” statement made me laugh. We also like to talk about architecturally pleasing packaged rooftop units :)

[@DamiLeeArch]

Hahah fair point!!

[@jmaessen3531]

Lol Raised by a mechanical engineer. Can confirm he loves to talk toilets, rooftop units, and LOVES questions 😂 He's a great teacher. And by nature super curious and inquisitive himself 🧐 May not be the case for every mechanical engineer 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@salamayad8757]

Thanks for being always 100% honest

[@DamiLeeArch]

always!!!

[@williamroberts3714]

Thank you so much for being candid and open about your experience and feelings. You're the change. You and others like you are helpful to the newbies . Thank you.

[@hanagreg]

You’re great! And the information is so relevant, this is so rare on KZbin in architecture.

[@kennyma4904]

Comparing archtecture to interior design would be a great video. Looking forward to it c:

[@carexomuchh]

Please please please do the interior designer vs. architect video! I'd love hear your thoughts/perspective.

[@B87780386]

Congratulations Dami on your subscriber count! I'm glad you started this youtube channel, you are one of the few. It's great to hear from the perspetive of an Architect. I work in construction and it's refreshing to hear from your point of view, thanks for sharing.

[@di7172]

Thanks, I really enjoyed this genuine, calm and joyful video:)

[@oliviasmith5508]

I really appreciate the time you take to make these videos Dami!!!!!! THANK YOU

[@DamiLeeArch]

You're very welcome!!! 😊

[@colorless3677]

Watching this while working on my plumbing drawing plates! Your voice is so calming 😭 thank youuuu

[@santiagobydesign]

Amazing how you organized the video... I arrived here wanting to know about how to explain a 4 year gap, but then you answered a very relevant question about the skills of an interior designer. Thank you!

[@Paper_nylon]

Thank you for answering my question 🥺 it felt like an older sister giving advice haha. It was very comforting to hear your take and I really appreciate your help!

[@DamiLeeArch]

No problem at all! It's a scary process but don't forget that if you've come this far, you have skills and value. Don't hesitate to ask if you have any other questions 😁

[@chadsmith8146]

1-5 seconds got replayed 20x for me. This one woman's channel made me care about architecture other than ancient greek and rome. ❤

[@spikevincent1990]

Just finishing the first year of my Masters this week and your vids have helped a lot! :)

[@hanaaeirafidi7399]

Looking forward to your next video!!

[@DamiLeeArch]

Coming soon 😊

[@Periwinkle-oo4uz]

I am aiming to become an architect just found your channel recently and you have given so many insights. I am so excited to take this path, but I definitely need to score well in my A-levels, I really hope I do.

[@sorakibr]

Came for the macbook/architectural program review...IT person for my company, so useful info thank you. Also a past architecture student, and lived in Korea for 4 years. So many topics that resonate, cheers!

[@rafaeldguimaraes]

Thanks for the answer, Demi! Glad to know about the age thing

[@DamiLeeArch]

no probs :) good luck!!

[@jjjjjut]

Not sure how the algorithm brought me to your channel, but I'm happy I found it.

[@tyrus18]

Love your videos and congrats on 50k! I am taking architecture and Im a 3rd year student and I’m happy I took it!

[@DamiLeeArch]

Thank you!! That's fun. Third year was my toughest 😅

[@cakie_0933]

This video was brilliant, I really understood your points and I've been told I need to get work experience with only the passion for it so what you said kinda applies to me 😅 I'd looooove to see the video on Architects vs Interior designers 😍

[@DamiLeeArch]

Glad I could help! And coming up ^^

[@cakie_0933]

👏👏👏

[@hyperTorless]

I'm fairly new to architecture and I've been asking myself this question : why is every modern building some kind of ugly glass cube or concrete block (like the 10 latest Pritzker award winners)? Is it really because it's cheaper to build (though we have never been richer than today)? Even expensive projects by famous architects end up being a version of that. Why didn't we learn from the things most people find beautiful ? Like I can't pinpoint *why* we went so far in this direction.

[@DamiLeeArch]

I just read an interesting article on this 😁 They judge the projects based on a of different variables, including social impact and community regeneration. I think aesthetics has become a small part of it.

[@DamiLeeArch]

Most of the projects focus on the functional, rather than aesthetic aspects of the project and money is spent where it actually helps the livelihood of the community! eg. Lacaton vassals project gave residents a full extra living room, rather than beautifying the facade. As a result, they don't give you the best money shot 😁

[@sagarsureshmule]

Hi Dami, your views are practical and they encourage optimism. Thank you.

[@lologan1723]

Thank you to explaining these questions detailedly. Very appreciate.

[@DamiLeeArch]

No problem :)

[@linjoycejess]

THANK YOU ! Your're so inspiring !!

[@DamiLeeArch]

Thanks Jessica 😊🙏

[@UnknownHotSauce]

Happy to have watched this. Lots of idifferent perspectives and insight. :) part 2 coming up.

[@AnthonyGugliotta]

I couldn't agree more with the first question. The "conventional" approach to Architecture is very outdated. Seeing how the world is changing, and seeing how our Industry is getting left behind compared to other industries makes me very upset, and has me questioning every day whether I should leave, or if it's even possible to change.

[@jasminlogrono9138]

I love your channel, thank you for this!

[@DamiLeeArch]

my pleasure!! :)

[@randyrhoads4737]

You might be the most expressive speaker I've ever seen. Your hands, face, and body really never stop moving. 🤣

[@justinsoto7884]

Awesome video and congrats and 50K! Can’t wait for more brilliant videos and 100K will be here sooner than later 🎉

[@DamiLeeArch]

Thank you!!

[@shalqlsm5578]

I failed my initial dream in high-school. ARCHITECTURE was the savior for me in the aftermaths. I just got into the Arch Scl I really wanted to study in .Your channel has been the biggest inspiration for me . Thanks for everything u do in this platform.Ur honesty n' wisdom is the essence. Lots of love from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 ❤

[@DamiLeeArch]

Glad I could help, best of luck!!

[@sriramvaranasi6683]

Great video! A long journey to come ahead!

[@hazza2169]

you are so awesome!! im so happy!!

[@DamiLeeArch]

Thank you!!!

[@letechnicaljames]

Wow thanks for sharing your story. I can related in regards to my career being affected by the pandemic which is why I realized had to consider either starting Medium or KZbin as side hustles that can potentially generate income 3-5 years from now.

[@StoneNayoung]

Inspired seeing younger Asian Canadian architects! 🤍

[@ruiyantang9222]

PLZZZZZZZZ Do the video about interior designers and architects. I am a student in interior design at BCIT but architecture has been something that really fascinated me. I really want to know your opinion about the two professions, how did you work with interior designer, how was the process, how was the communicating and what was your worst experience with an interior designer loll.

[@DamiLeeArch]

Yes I would love to! I didn't realize this was such a highly requested topic.

[@TheDetonadoBR]

Getting right to the BIG and HARD questions

[@richardlopez2932]

Advanced Division ------------------------------- The divide between noviceship and professionalism guarantees moving, specific obstacles -- those tools and methods that beg up the ladder of progress. And so in traversing towards some new hypothetical point of vantage, it behooves the student/inventor to listen to a third god in their calculations, and remember the past was once the future. ****

[@marcusperry9481]

770k subscribers as of today. This video is 1 year old. ⬅️imposter syndrome kryptonite.

[@marcusperry9481]

Excellent point, Marcus.

[@nanohedron]

Many countries have aging populations - a grandparent generation that ideally has wealth to share with members of younger generations who step up to be there with them in their later years. Multi-generational homes are rare, but there should be a massive amount of demand for them hitting the market very soon. Is there any focus given to properties that provide the right combination of separate and communal areas? I think that a property with a series of geodesic domes connected by causeways would be very cool. For instance, a central dome with a large kitchen, dining area, and living room surrounded by 3-4 domes with bedrooms would provide a great mix of cost-sharing and privacy for semi-cohabitants.

[@77Lenabeana]

Hi Dami, I would love to see what you have to say about int des vs arch (I have a Bachelor of ID from Canada and am pursuing an M.Arch). I do have to say that your point on ID not having hard constraints isn't entirely correct as we definitely had exams on the OBC and NBC, site, as well as materials and construction! Haha we're not completely clueless on construction design challenges. In my program, we didn't focus on colour palettes or fabric like the stereotype always suggests :)

[@ruiyantang9222]

i actually feel the same. we really focused on code and construction in school!!! color and materials are like 20-30% of the project only

[@apexhacker346]

My favorite KZbinr 😍😍

[@juelz713]

I would like to see a video on the difference between architecture vs interior design. And have you ever had to go to court

[@DamiLeeArch]

I have never been to court, fingers crossed. ^^ and video coming up! seems like a highly requested topic

[@ABC-sg5wu]

Congrats... love ur work here. Just wanna know if diploma in architecture worth it?

[@Olivierstreet]

I too have always wanted to go on a youghurt retreat lol! Yeah Architects don't like sharing, especially with details. Precedent studies would be so much more technically interesting and we would all have been better technical students if those intricate material connections were as readily available as all the pretty final images. But Architects are all like "I suffered therefore you must also suffer", yawn. Congrats on your numbers, upwards and onwards!!!

[@DamiLeeArch]

😂😂😂 lots of truth in here

[@lina-fo2jz]

yes! i am the 1st person!!!

[@DamiLeeArch]

🙌🙌🙌

[@cakie_0933]

😂🤣😂

[@Jay-uo5pq]

i love this channel but now i'm considering majoring in architecture out of the blue ...the videos are too good

[@Deutschland828]

interesting algorithm brought me here after i purchased Apple products. You made me as an ameture listen to unrelated professional questions. You are so real! i like your channel.

[@bennedamosley7400]

Thanks your Awesome, you have been really helpful.

[@DamiLeeArch]

Happy to help!

[@ericmcdowell5762]

Dami, ... I know most of the time, you are addressing up-and-coming architects, or those that are getting "their feet wet" in the industry, ... but what about questions from "the other side of the fence". I had gotten in touch you before, via comments directly on your videos, and thru email, ... but I was wondering, ... how does a client go about finding the best architect (or firm) for their project, ... whether it be because of a particular architectural style that they're going after, etc? P.S. Get some sleep !!

[@VampO24]

Can you do a video on older folks going into this career? When is it too late/ too old?

[@dulguunbold2067]

Absolutely loved this episode.

[@jren1341]

D you have any tips on how to speak when presenting in architecture school since im very shy/scared when presenting

[@DamiLeeArch]

1.Practice before presenting. 2.Kinda weird but it also helps when I think of myself just as a tool or vessel for communicating the information as clearly as possible, and try to think about helping the audience, rather than focusing on myself. 3. I have videos specifically for architectural presentations, so I would check that out. 😊

[@jren1341]

@@DamiLeeArch Thankyouu

[@maxyogi]

Hello Dami. To take. The act of taking. The taking Art. Form. Of desire. To create a new. A wonder. A gap. Which must be filled. But not just by anything. Anyone. The right choice. To fill. To fill it up. Like a Krispy Kreme donut. It's got to be just right. Each. Each and every time. To take it big. Big in this endless gaping want of eternal bliss. To quench this thirst. Like a fire. Burning brighter than ever.

[@bluebird9097]

do your thing

[@kirtipunia6772]

Hiii Dami !!! I have completed bachelor in science (physical science) No background in architecture Can I do masters in architecture???

[@SuperNat9999]

I actually found your channel on Reddit

[@weis4816]

Hi, Dami What is the best software to do the architectural chunk?

[@latteARCH]

Guilty of reading too much of those negative Reddit posts hahaha but here I am doing my M.Arch

[@DamiLeeArch]

Hahah I guess they didn't scare you enough 😂

[@speedup58]

hey dami love your videos but i was wondering after i finish architecture school should i take a job right away or should i get my masters in architecture , i want to know what are the benefits of having a masters degree

[@heshikeshmohonee8416]

I'm not in the field of architecture but got some ideas since my father works interior design now i understand why he come late i have a question i had a fight with my brother about his undergraduate course(HOW LUCKY HE IS TO GET INTO A PAID INSTITUTION FROM MY PARENTS) of Graphic design i wanted to know is it hard? Im going into management and human resource field, what do the HR do in Architecture,give example ?

[@CarloParducho]

"Try to add couple of wrinkles in your face to look more mature. [. . .] or maybe a couple of fake gray hairs." I have real versions of the latter and I'm not sure it's working as well as I expected 😅
