Schematic Design vs Construction Drawings for Architecture School. First Year Architecture.

This First Year Architecture lecture was recorded on Whadjuk Noongar Boodja for students of Curtin University's Architecture School. This lecture series is part of my unit Visual Literacy, where we learn the visual language of architecture, and how to express our ideas to others.
This is lecture two of the series, and is taught in tandem with the AutoCAD Tutorials also available on this channel.

I would love to study with you. Your calm, positive, encouraging, asking, compact way of teaching really resonates me. You don't want to impose your view on your students but just want to convey the fundamentals of Architecture as compact as possible. In my experience, every great person in any field can express its concepts so easy that a child could pick it up. On the other hand, people who don't really understand a field tend to overcomplicate stuff.

[@ChrisMewburn]

That is very high praise indeed. Thank you for the compliment!

@@ChrisMewburn you're welcome! :) Also checked your website and some of your essays / the intro to your master thesis. Seems, that you are fascinated by similar things as me in Architecture. I already studied music (and later computer science) as a teenager/young adolescent. The one thing I was unprepared for was how much the creative, child-like wonder can be stifled through the harsh shame and pressure by the teachers. For me it is a reeeeeaallly delicate balance to give students juuuuuuust enough solid basics so they can navigate this craft with ease and get more sufficient but at the same time respect what makes them unique and what they can bring to the world. I met a few teachers where I felt I could be myself while they were guiding me. And I met a lot of arrogant pricks. In you, I feel this calm fluidity and relaxed autonomy but also a true dedication to the Art/Craft. Is architecture Art? Is it a Craft? For me it is the sweet spot between both: a useful, practical survival-aspect, which respects that we are biological beings, and a transcendental aspect, which respects that we are spiritual beings and need more than 3 dimensions and matter. There's more than meets the eye. There's more than could be expressed by words. But at the end of the day I also just want to crash in my comfy home where I feel secure, sheltered and "held". :=)

@@Yetipfote wow, what a great message to receive. I’m humbled by your praise, and I agree with your reasoning. Nice one.

[@Yetipfote]

@@ChrisMewburn oh now I want to study with you even more.

thank you very much,you simplified it in such a way that a 10year old kid can understand thank you.As im starting 2023 today this is part of my present .Thank you very much xz

[@ChrisMewburn]

Both architects and academics tend to be habitually abstract and verbose (proving my own point here). Clarity and brevity means more people can understand and engage. The more people engaged, the more enriched our lives and ideas become. I'm pleased you enjoyed the video!

Could you apply the pdf of the lecture? Where I can focus on the details and see it better

[@ChrisMewburn]

Can’t do that, sorry. That starts to get into some grey areas with copyright.

[@Nalim4844]

Year 2 lectures??

[@ChrisMewburn]

Maybe in the future. I'm focused on Year 1 and Year 3 at the moment! Year 3 lectures are the Unreal Engine ones, plus a few more I have yet to upload.
