PROs and CONs of ARCHITECTURE | KEY POINTS TO CONSIDER BEFORE STUDYING ARCHITECTURE 📐

[@UnravelingArchitecture]

Did I miss a pro? Did I miss a con? Let me know(: Anyway, you should consider joining our archi-discord! discord.gg/UFMEZD2HEc

[@RXJ020]

I would add Interior Design and Landscape Architecture of the things you could do with an Architecture degree. Maybe get a Masters on those disciplines that are really similar to Architecture.

[@UnravelingArchitecture]

absolutely! Great other fields to add!(:

[@michaelkummer4740]

Also historic preservation

[@imenekacel4182]

I'm in my first year in an architecture sometimes I think about changing my major to something easier but you give my motivation and made my love it more and more

[@UnravelingArchitecture]

***sheds tear*** KEEP IT GOING(: You got this!!!

[@SsscRl]

So how has it been so far

[@kenettrivera8168]

Starting 3rd year in architecture and man i can relate. This field is so stressful and demanding but you need to have passion and love for architecture for you to survive. No sleep, workload, i had to quit my job in order to attend studio. And it is expensive af. Man. Pressure all around!

[@LuizOtavioZen]

As a person who was an Architect and now is a Civil Engenieer, Architeure is fun but having both degrees is far better. As and acrchitect i had to focus on a single high profile project at a time, as an engenieer i don't have that problem, and i can use my knowledge to do the concept for buildings on my own and let the architects figure the details and co design the project, so i can focus on just managing the team and approve designs. My proffesors in college use to say "Archictects make the fame Engenieers make the money" and he was absolutely right, its far more dificult to be a succesful architect than an engenieer, both good proffesions that overlap a lot higher you go, but one is the path of less resistance.

@Luiz Zen Fascinating! I am considering going into Civil Engineering or Architecture, but I also thought about doing both like you have. Which one do you recommend I do first?

The other day my school invited people from different careers to talk to us about them, I remember how my heart was pumped when the architects presented as they spoke of a museum project that they did and the fact that they had to learn about how the items in the museums were stored... which matches your last point... I don't know... everything just makes me excited for some reason. I hope to study architecture at uni. Thanks for uploading this!

Thanks for the honest video! FYI, Impact typo on the post @10:16. My son is going into a Classical Architecture program at a private college in the fall. I'm very pleased to see the great perspective you gave on all the career options that an architecture degree can provide!

[@NoneFB]

You mention “Not sleeping...”, it’s part of our style in architecture school. Employers know this. They have no problem thinking that as an employee you can still do that to get the design and or drawings done for their client so THEY can get paid. Somehow, too, the clients know that the architecture employees can stay up to draw.....

The worst part is school does not teach you the technical stuff you really need to know, you have to learn it on your own.

[@UnravelingArchitecture]

absolutely!!!

[@eirene3819]

What technical skills???

[@chriszin94]

The main con is the trash paychecks you get for approx your first 5 years as a pro architect. Seriously, from my experience, the bosses of architecture offices are some of the stingiest people when it comes to money.

Also just wondering if there are any like mini model kits with like the supplies included so you can make lime a miniature house because I can't really begin archi school yet but I kind of want to build something also wondering if I have built dollhouses for barbies our of a cardboard box if that would kind of help like if I liked building them if I would like making models or if it was nothing like that

[@UnravelingArchitecture]

Glad I could help!! You're so welcome. As of the mini model kits, they do!! here is a full house set (this one looks like a very advanced house model someone would have for a presentation [ amzn.to/3jtN8kh ] here is a paper modeling guide, almost like origami if you dont wanna deal with all the multiple materials, [ amzn.to/39K3Ice ] This one is a landmark mode, of the Guggenheim museum which is cool to see too [ amzn.to/3pQg9Jd ] here's an interior wooden model also, since you mentioned dollhouses [ amzn.to/2YJGqgb ] So, you have a bunch of options if this is something you were considering doing and putting in a portfolio or something!(:

all that u said is complety true!!! im going to my second year in architecture and confess that i so unmotivated about covid... my classes is continue be online and thats sucks!! i dont know in another country but here in brazil, we need complementary hours to graduated, like do something related to architecture out of college, can be course or travel, visit museum and do an essay about it ... do u need this too or not? love the video!

[@UnravelingArchitecture]

I am so sorry about COVID... I seriously hope this does not un-motivate you to study architecture. Architecture is so challenging, because it is so experiential. Studying architecture online vs. experiencing it and engaging in studio culture are two very different things. I never heard of "complementary hours." That's really interesting though!! Are you going to travel?

Archi dreamer here and secretly wants a building to fall down but since I need money and building is basically art I’ll keep my hands to myself....

[@UnravelingArchitecture]

haha bowl of beans!! lol this comment! A lot of time architects have to do structural testing too. So actually for the Johnson Wax Building designed by FLW, they tested the column design until it failed to see how it redistributes loads. So sometimes as an architect you have to do prototyping tests to see if a building will in fact fall down

[@turtle2328]

[@jen.ling2]

Great information! Thank you so much for sharing. Btw, what do you recommend as a minor when majoring for architecture?

[@UnravelingArchitecture]

Of course happy to help out! Minors in college really don't do much for people - I might get some backlash on this comment but it is really true. No one will hire you based off of what you minored in. So that being said, if you want to minor in something minor in something that you love~

[@UnravelingArchitecture]

haha what a title right?!

[@themidnightsketches9912]

"The last thing we want is a building to fall down".. architects do not design structures, structural engineers do. So to be honest, I dont understand why architects need 7 years of uni + work experience. All they do is produce design concepts. Technical requirements are set out by the technical teams (facades, services, structures, landscape, specialist trades etc).. I don’t even understand what architecture is at this point and i studied architecture myself. Also, buildings have a lifespan. About 60-70 years. So the i dont know about the lasting impact.

[@UnravelingArchitecture]

I believe this is a common misconception. Architects do in fact play a role in designing structures. I'm on an active project right now where my focus is designing the structural design along with the facade design. But we work with structural engineers who will do the heavier lifting in terms of calculating the appropriate loads and forces. They will undoubtedly ensure we sized the columns and bracing correctly. They're absolutely critical to the project and structure's success. But in terms of designing a structure, architects have to understand how it all works too - but just to a lesser degree. I would recommend looking up the original design for the Golden Gate Bridge. The original design was crafted by a team of structural engineers. While the one that was constructed and that we see today was designed by an architect. Architects cannot exist without the structural engineers and vise versa. I would recommend also if you're still interested in architecture seeking out to work in a firm. It's really refreshing. I think you'll understand more first-hand how your role as an architect shapes a project. Can't really do it without them in my opinion. But also keep in mind all architecture firms function differently too! So make sure you seek out a firm that really cares about design. Hope that helps(-:

How do you do fashion design with an architecture degree??

[@UnravelingArchitecture]

my friend from undergrad did this. He was able to secure an internship - loved fashion already - and did know how to sew. He brought a unique perspective to the table, and honestly a lot of his skills he developed in the fashion industry were taught to him at his internships. SO, i think as long as you have a passion for anything in the creative industry, you can accomplish this with an architecture degree(:

Architecture....right, its like saying a designer and in reality thats only what you are. You only design and nothing more, after you design what you think is a super idea a civil engineer has to step in to see if you wacky design is even constructable, become a civil engineer and you will gain our respect.
