i love that white ink pen

[@30by40]

right? just discovered these...

[@pathan415]

I request u plz upload video with sub tittle.to understand the english.

[@vigneswarks1704]

Which app you're using for sunlight orientation

[@AmaalNKhan]

vigneswar k s Sun Seeker ozPDA is the app.

[@uppereastsidehoney4055]

May i just say, i learned more from you than my professors when i was in college. 😂

[@ceearc8529]

To be very honest me too😅👍

[@Interior_guru_Dalsha]

Yeah it's really true, now days education system's truth

[@arturtahiri3261]

😂😂 I guess your professor was forced to do his job

[@zanyarhoshyar736]

They told me the same as you said and I watched some videos but I don't know what to learn from him Can you guide me

[@csmart287]

As an old, retired, mechanical engineer, may I say that this is the most interesting architectural design video on KZbin. I'll look for more on this project.

[@rswc55]

Your ability to condense and convey this information is remarkable. Obviously there's a lot of work behind it all. I've learned more in this video than I did in almost my entire semester covering the same stuff (yikes!).

[@mmabathogracemokalapa686]

First year architecture student here! Thank you so much for this

[@chassidywebdesign3672]

My first thought while watching your videos for the first time was this is amazing. Now that I've binged architect videos... again, this is amazing. Thanks for sharing

[@blerimleskovica5505]

Probably the best architectural video on KZbin!

[@marctaylor402]

Invaluable advice to someone designing their own home. You've helped me consider things I hadn't and shown me tools I would never have found by myself. Thank you.

[@lordlyngiroy1121]

To be honest, he's far more better on our instructor in terms of explaining architectural designing which makes me watch his videos more nos that I'm already in architecture school.

[@30by40]

Sorry to hear your instructor isn't delivering! Binge watching is always encouraged though...thanks for watching!

[@me30176]

i"am a civil engineer from Algeria and i enjoy watching your videos, i learn a lot from you, thank you for sharing with us.

[@DDLeeroy]

This is the sole video that has made me want to change my career and my prospects to architecture and design here in France, after 15 years in hospitality management in Australia. Love this channel

[@Lananhyeol-IDer]

Omggg, Honestly, I have to say that I learned more knowledge from you than my professors in my university now. Thanks so much for your video and I hope that you will continue share more and more useful information to the community. So respect ❤

[@olajideomolayo9314]

GOT IT! I just understood the solar charts and how it affects architecture. After spending five years in architecture school and I just understood solar studies with one video. Great video ERIC! please continue these type of video

[@30by40]

+JD OMOLAYO great my friend...glad to help!

[@gravisan]

These videos are a master class in writing and media creation in themselves.

[@H.T]

I am an architect from Libya .. I love your works .. It reminds me of the real architecture.

[@30by40]

thanks for checking in from Libya...appreciate your kind words my friend...

[@spartanwka]

As an amateur, these videos are so fun and insightful. You explain things so clearly that anyone can appreciate your process. Thank you!

[@andreleblanc1963]

My wife and I have just redesigned our house plans a couple of months ago to include a clerestory so to allow daylight into our living spaces located on the north end of our house. It had us shift our design from a typical west-coast design commonly found on Vancouver island, to a contemporary home with flat roof elements. We look forward to commence work with an architect to bring these ideas to the next level.

[@30by40]

fantastic...love to hear this sentiment...we're living in a modern age, no sense in recreating history, right? good luck with your project...

[@412miumiu]

I learned more about sun mapping from this video than I learned in 4 years at design school, thank you so much!

[@eminem7765]

greetings from the Philippines! I am an architecture student here and I just want to say thank you for this. It summed up my tropical architecture class. hahaha

[@30by40]

|m|

[@TheLowLandGardener]

Dude I'm in the mids of consuming all my energy designing meaning I came to a point where I couldn't draw inspiration to create new concept and rather doing cliche stuffs like copying from other previous projects. This video just rejuvenate my mind and fill my inspiration tank. Thanks for people like you man. I'm an architect like you. I just subscribed

[@camillorighini1]

In 9 minutes this video taught me more than all architects I spoke to in a year. Many thanks for the cristal clear information and the enormous attention with the quality of the video quality. Edition, sound, photography, illustrations, photos and architecture. Congratulations! Liked and subscribed.

[@30by40]

Cheers and welcome! Appreciate the kind words + support.

[@gargithakur7885]

Something I could never understand since 4 years.... Thank you soooo much... Your video made me clear a lot of things... I mean I need to send this video to my college professors... They need more help than anybody.

[@cristobaljavier]

non architect here, I have to say this video content and presentation are amazing

[@rapaerawaitai7483]

Loved the talk on sun orientation . And interesting in realation to working the buildings to capture a view. was the best so far that I seen on KZbin 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@pawanchabukswar6707]

I must say the presentation of sketching skills are on point, no need of high quality costly prints.Hand Sketching with overlays conveys so much.

[@30by40]

100% agree...clients love this approach when you're working together too...

[@hayatahmed7869]

i watch ur videos since year one at college and rly ty for making it free and simple

[@wotwot6868]

Not an architect, but actually watched it til the end; you have my thumbs up.

[@Funtime2890]

i wish i had known this all while i was at grad school but the best is yet to come so i will keep on looking such an inspiring and motivating and something that push toward the righteous path and by the way ur an amazing architect who are disciplined and knows what to do keep up the good work!!!

[@devyanikumavat8631]

You are the best Architect, learning from you is just an amazing journey. Even schools can't teach in this way. Thank you so much Sir for making me realise, that sketches are the best way for design process.

[@nancyspicer6046]

This is Exactly the information that I was searching for years ago when trying to move forward to my Designing. I think that I have found a good resource “You" while continuing to hone my skill at home. Thanks Nancy

[@30by40]

welcome Nancy...glad you're finding what you need here...

[@123nyanna]

Thank you for the Great Tutorial! These are so fundamental principles which unfortunately are not thought well in school, or just they don't give us enough projects to develop like that. I found your channel a couple weeks ago and I am addicted! Please keep with your videos, they are so interesting, detailed and covering such important topics. Greetings, Eva

[@coopa9822]

as an undergrad constantly bombarded with homework, planning to major in arch design, I can't thank you enough for how much this video inspired me to continue my education and pursue my dreams to be an architect. Thank you!

[@SuperDvco]

ohhhh man.... I have enrolled at uni this year... and your videos have been so helpfull. i really enjoy your approach. i am confident to say that i've been learning more from your videos than from some of my teachers. i really really really appreciate. god bless you bro!

[@JohnICGomes]

I'm not an architect (but love design), but will be working with architects to design our home. These videos are really really really informative! Thanks!

[@adriannapierzycka9818]

Your video couldn't be more timely. I wasn't sure how to approach the sunlight analysis, so the fact you decided to post it just now is a miracle :D Thanks a lot!

[@30by40]

a disturbance in the force...I felt it too...

[@thecreek1435]

Eric I really appreciate your input direction and your ability to communicate concepts and design. I am not an architect but I am a designer of timber structures. I find that you have a very similar thinking process to my design process. Just wanted to shout out that I think you’re work is brilliant. Thank you for your professionalism and sharing. I look forward to your book.

[@30by40]

always nice to hear confirmation of your own design process...much success to you...thanks for your kind words...

[@emanalmutawa8564]

You just summed up an entire Solar Energy in Architecture course I took in college Thank you so much!

[@30by40]

cheers...saving time and energy!

[@joshguntercreative194]

This is amazing I am an architectural photographer this gives me key points to look forward to shooting soon.....Love it......

[@DanielSilva-gf4kk]

As a recently graduated architect, I am loving these videos, thanks... As a metalhead i like the sign for cheers 🤘😎

[@30by40]

massive respect. |m|

[@nohafo2ad]

As an architecture student, I find your videos extremely helpful and inspiring. Your videos helped me improve the ways I approach design, so thank you for that! Cheers from Egypt!

[@30by40]

thanks for checking in...a very different set of concerns from a climate perspective for your work...

[@joedaponte6123]

Light is the first thing I feel when entering a space. You explained it very well. Love the example you gave of directing the usual full attention from the water view to other more subtle yet important elements the site has to offer. Inspiring videos! Thank you

[@sadmanmahdi8281]

we need more design solving videos like this based on the given parameters of sunpath, wind movement and more wether it be for residence, housing, school, museum, hospitals etc. introduce a new series where u just analyse other design solving process like dis in details.. really good work man. carry man

[@30by40]

thanks...appreciate it...

[@sadmanmahdi8281]

30X40 Design Workshop looking forward to ur next analysing venture.

[@ayoubkhalfaoui6673]

thnk u so much teathcher ,we are a students from all over the world supporting you and watching you every single time you post a new video, we are very thirsty for your knowledge keep going on we are behind you .good luck ;)

[@30by40]

can't tell you how much it means to hear this my friend...much respect...

[@maryjanefelices3768]

This is why being an architect is the coolest job in the world ;)

[@GarlandSuseberry]

I was taught from a structural standpoint and this helps me a lot and I’m going to use the info I get from you on future projects

[@mohammadsadran3238]

Thank you Eric, I'm learning from your videos, I'm Studying Architecture in Damascus University in Syria, and here it's hard to get books or even information, and my English is weak, Although I'm trying to improve it, keep going I need people like you, and thank you again....

[@30by40]

glad i can be of help...

[@Monsterpala]

came back after watching on my mobile to give you a thumbs up. Following you for over one year now and you definitely influenced my building project (though budget wouldn't allow too much). This video will be useful when sunsha is needed, not sure yet. But any way congratulations on over 3.5 million hits and over 80 thousand subscribers. Not many architects have such large audience I imagine :)

[@30by40]

appreciate your kind words...i've been working hard to make the channel a substantial resource in this field and along the way have fallen in love with the idea of creating something visually compelling each week. the timeline of architecture is so long from client acquisition to finished product that shipping a new video each week is a welcome and immediate pattern break from the long time horizons of building. cheers...!

[@patrickleclercq6128]

Respect, man! Would like to thank you for this enlighting considerations about architectural layout you figured out. Despite this topics seems to be so fundamental to me, they’re too often forgotten,when discussing the house building. So, hopefully, one or the other teacher in our country ’ll rediscover those aspects & transmit the knowledge again. Greatings from the 4 border region ( Belgium). the Akita Man :)

[@AmaalNKhan]

Passive designed spaces have unique calm ambience...I have start learning more about passive designing techniques...thanks for uploading this video.

[@30by40]

of course...always a student...

[@garyhughes5428]

Hi Eric, really enjoy your understanding of designing for the environment, taking into consideration sun elevation and major wind directions. I lived in the Middle East where it can be extremely hot in the summer months and I found that the old techniques really helped in the comfort of the living area. Some design aspects are narrow through areas with high walls to shade from the sun completely and the use of wind towers in the buildings to produce the stack effect you mention. Really enjoy your videos, and the ease of how you explain the reasoning behind what you are doing.

[@HS-nx3uk]

u are doing a great job at explaining in depth details for aspiring architects. well done

[@30by40]

appreciate the affirmation...

[@farnazgbd3484]

Absolutely love the way you illustrate ideas👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@30by40]

kind words...many thanks my friend...

[@UndercoverArchitect]

Such a great illustrative explanation of designing for the movement of the sun. As I always say, "designing for the movement of the sun is the single biggest thing you can do to make a home feel great, and you feel great in it". A massive thank you for sharing my podcast too, very grateful. You did get one thing wrong though ... it's you who has things flipped around LOL. Such admiration for your work Eric - Cheers, Amelia

[@30by40]

Hi Amelia...much respect for the work you're doing...thankful to have your voice and contributions to our profession... talk soon...(I owe you a video response on loom!)

[@maxalvarado8951]

Undercover Architect : How and where can I find your podcasts please?

[@reignhard4696]

I was gonna save the video for later because it was 10mins long. but I was mesmerized and watched the entire thing.

[@danaalzayer1060]

I just wanted to thank you so very much for this video! I’m a freshman architecture student and my project for this semester is to design a shelter. My location is in the sea site and this video really helps with understanding site analysis. Love the way you present your ideas! Thanks a lot!

[@aspirant8780]

What are you doing now? Still architect?

[@mirrfan8844]

Still surviving 😜

[@christianmacasa8647]

Orientation of the sun... Now i know. As 2nd year student of Architecture your vlog helps me to find and design better.

[@estherclifford4444]

Thank u so much for this video. As someone who works in the studio with students, I fee sharing a video like this with them, will give them a broader perspective on designing climate responsive buildings. Thanks.

[@danielemtman3127]

New favorite KZbin channel. Really appreciate what you are doing!

[@aboilcrawl1279]

what the actual . . . . Man the knowledge imparted is simple and deeply resounding. much thanks for sharing, and creation of these insightful videos. From a landscape-r perspective

[@naleendemalaporuwa7967]

I love you sketching ( white pen too). Architectural handwriting. Even the font style you have used is really pleasing.

[@chaddonnelly9872]

I’m in my second year of Architecture at university and honestly would not be doing anywhere near as well without your videos so thank you! 😄

[@rickhall517930]

Exactly what I was looking for and easy to follow as someone who is not an architect. Thanks!

[@hadeelghazwan4290]

I didn't just like the video I loved it so much 👌 Thank you Eric for these refreshing materials that you give us.

[@30by40]

you're quite welcome...cheers...

[@arunbadalkar6936]

Very simply and good explanation how to deal with fearful sun. Thanks.!

[@samcrosswords8979]

Today, I learnt SOMETHING ! Thanks a lot, much appreciated

[@khalifaalansari81]

I swear I never watch a ten minute video on KZbin, this video felt like two minutes only. Time flies when you’re interested

[@30by40]

much respect. thanks my friend...

[@ImageDesignLLC]

This one of my favorite videos you've made so far

[@30by40]

appreciate it my friend...

[@SovngardeStudio]

Perfect just when I need to write about sunlight and do entire project about it, a real life saver love your vids XD

[@30by40]

what timing...cheers my friend...

[@jascielo21]

I appreciate all the resources you give for us students, potential architects! I really do. WOW. Thank YOU 🙏🏻

[@CrazyNapalmGuy]

Just discovered this channel, and I love it. I have been needing a channel that makes videos just like these for years, subscribed!

[@30by40]

welcome...thanks for subscribing...! new vids every thursday...

[@titisdwiyanto9642]

Im trying to make research about high efficiency building. And found your video really help me out. Thanks

[@30by40]

[@akashbhumi4365]

Sir ur thought is as much as awesome as you are🙂 your video and ur thaught help me alot to understand the nature and passion of engineering 🙏

[@Studio39DesignStudio]

I stay in the Southern Hemisphere, but this is very important information and i would like to thank you for sharing

[@30by40]

glad to help...wishing for some of your southern hemisphere summer right about now...

[@wendyannh]

This is really helpful, Eric, thanks! I'm an interior designer who attempted to take on a class in environmental control systems in design school (interior architecture), but I couldn't hack the math, and I never really understood how to do this. You have made it *sooo* much more clear and simple than my instructor did!

[@kiri-gabriella]

This is such a helpful video not least because we'll be building on a plot that similarly has views to the East, and have been trying to figure out how to simultaneously take advantage of the southerly aspect. We're not architects but have had a stab at what the house might look like, but this info takes it up a notch and has definitely given food for thought and fresh ideas to bring our architect when we start working with them. Can't wait to delve deeper and work out the sun angles for our location and have a play about with shapes and have a good discussion

[@hendrik3076]

You make me want to go to my architect classes even more. such inspiring words you tell. thanks.

[@DerekBlais]

I had no idea we were neighbors. I'm just across the border in New Brunswick, Canada. Thanks for another fantastic, informative video.

[@shahidjabbar8647]

Whenever I see your vedios I gets something always new ..lots of love 30x40

[@sayedhusainalmousawi3632]

Great work explaining the basic concepts. Well Done! To the 74 people who have disliked this video, may I know why?

[@TheWorldinMyMinds]

A clean way of working. I like working this way. Best regard..

[@AZMarine513]

I have watched this video a couple times now. Very good information.

[@manurincon5471]

Very good video, it explains very well how to use and manipulate the sun, very informative. I also wanted to say I loved the design you for that house, it works super well with its surrounding, and how you worked with shades, gives it a great touch. Keep up the good videos, love your channel.

[@ryancyr845]

This is so fascinating! Thank you for making a video like this, light study is one of the things that has attracted me to architecture. You are a fantastic resource for a prospective architecture student, thank you!

[@30by40]

appreciate your support my friend...

[@andybird8515]

dont do it. arch pays little these days. do it as ahobby only. DYOR before embarking on a 10+ hard exploration

[@philipcrosscup3497]

Hello, thanks for this, I am studying for my last ARE exam, I watch videos from all over in my studies, funny to see this one/you are not to far away, I am in Bath.

[@jamesmason2206]

Really good video Eric. Very useful and lots of information I've never come across before. Can't wait for the next one!

[@30by40]

cheers mate...

[@maksatmid]

glad to see the comments of colleagues from other countries

[@31.lyhourheong95]

I'm really love your video, it simply to catch up,

[@karenkreisel9801]

That was so helpful! i am designing a house and trying to show the HOA that putting the house closer to 100' tall trees blocks all my morning sunlight.

[@alex-ander-13]

Thank you very much for your guidance. This was quite immersive for me!

[@badialmandeep]

Amazing video, as a civil engineer wanting to go into architecture I'm wondering if I need schooling, because I'm learning so much from 30x40 and working with architects on projects. Much love

[@abraraddahi8121]

Thank you this video answered all questions clearly and simply ☺️👍

[@richardluu1528]

My favorite topic. Great video! Glad you covered this! Keep up the great work!!

[@30by40]

thanks my friend...

[@kimbrierecharest]

This video and the solar app is aaawesome! Thanks for the useful tips 🙌

[@rafaelovalles1171]

hello Eric excellent video, my name is Rafael I am a beginner professor in Venezuela, your videos have helped me a lot to give my classes and I wanted to tell you that I am going to put subtitles in Spanish to some of your videos to be able to show them in my class if you are interested I could send them to you to use the subtitles in your channel.

[@30by40]

yes please...! you can submit subtitles by following the instructions here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGrGfJqto6t8d9k you basically click the gear on the video you want to subtitle and follow to the subtitles... thanks!

[@souvikchakraborty5757]

Another mind refreshing video from you. I like those sketchs on brown paper. Thanks

[@30by40]

just getting back into the kraft paper thing...kind of an inversion of the typical sketch (swapping figure and ground)

[@jademansilita237]

I was really inspired by your videos and all the contents you share, it truly inspired my soul leading me to take the course architecture, I am now a 2nd year college and due to the pandemic learning is very hard (like, atleast for me) and even the smallest knowledge regarding with architecture such as symbols and lines that is needed to give an emphasis on the drawings, like I don't know them, for reals, I hope you'd make a video of it though, but everytime I make plates I always listen and watch to your videos, its much more helpful than what I learn from my school, thank you.

[@blondie9909]

Im a dancer but one of the classes we have is art history and architecture always fascinated me . The more i learn and try to sketch out the more im sure that probably somewhere in the future this is something i will do (if i cant dance anymore or simply decide i want to do something else , this would be it )

[@albertdeng8652]

Thank you for making this channel. It's been very insightful and helpful for students like me. I really enjoy watching your videos.

[@30by40]

cheers mate...

[@unfmdlanul]

Thank you for this short description video Very helpful!

[@Themodmin]

Hey Eric great video as usual, being a designer in a tropical area I have less parameters to consider 😁 but also less options to work with the sun as is extremely hot 😅

[@30by40]

thanks my friend...i'd take a little 'hot' right about now...snowing here today...

[@nguyenquocdoan3665]

I love your channels guys! As for @Themodmin if you can make a video (or a series) showing your techniques, processes in dealing with tropical climate, that would be great! From Vietnam with love!

[@meilynapoh6770]

Yes please. Would love a video on what you would consider in a tropical climate

[@pawanchabukswar6707]

Yes please one for the tropics

[@martov4330]

How about a video on rain / snow / wind ?
