Very good book | I highly recommend 'The Imperfect City: On Architectural Judgment' by Samir Younes. This book breaks down how we ended up with the idea of "styles" in the first place, what the philosophical underpinnings of its development were and how they made their way into the default understandings of todays architects. It goes through these ideas and looks at them critically and proposes a better way to think about architecture and the progress of our built environment. It really contextualizes the whole of contemporary architectural thought and illustrates how and why architects think they way they do. | 0 | 42,364 | -0.5 | ||

Experiencing Architecture by Steen Eilier Rasmussen, an oldie but a goodie, is a classic recommended text for an introduction to architecture. The Atlas of Novel Tectonics (degree-postgrad level) is interesting, though it's hard to describe briefly what this is about. a must for students. NOX: machining architecture by Lars Spuybroek. Spuybroek is a really interesting researcher and radical architect, looking at the way to use digital technology to manage the use of complex geometries in architecture. Anything by Reyner Banham is good too. Personally I disagree with the books by Ching, stuck in the age of the drawing board. But everyone has their own view. | 0 | 4,055 | 2 | ||

Experiencing Architecture by Steen Eilier Rasmussen, an oldie but a goodie, is a classic recommended text for an introduction to architecture. The Atlas of Novel Tectonics (degree-postgrad level) is interesting, though it's hard to describe briefly what this is about. a must for students. NOX: machining architecture by Lars Spuybroek. Spuybroek is a really interesting researcher and radical architect, looking at the way to use digital technology to manage the use of complex geometries in architecture. Anything by Reyner Banham is good too. Personally I disagree with the books by Ching, stuck in the age of the drawing board. But everyone has their own view. | 0 | 10,376 | 2,000 | ||

Though neither lend themselves to all climates or tall buildings. All man made materials require some manipulation, which often has wasteful or environmentally harmful aspects. Recycling could be a good way, but so few who want to leave their own mark on the landscape and other personal dislikes allows for us to recycle, esp where there are many underused structures. | 0 | 151,017 | -0.5 | ||
ahoc3h | architecture_train | 0.91 | [ask] Architects of Reddit, have any of you worked in construction? If so, how has it changed your views on architecture? | eegnj0e | eegm9hi | 1,547,925,451 | 1,547,924,666 | 20 | 3 | I've worked as an in-house architect at a construction company and as a site manager. Things I learned: The construction business is stressful and depressing. Nobody cares about your vision, they just want to make as much money as possible and go home. Time is money - a construction site at stand still practically leaks money. Everything you draw is much harder to get built than you ever imagined. There are logistic consideration to almost everything. Even small demolitions lead to dust everywhere. Get an air filter. The average construction worker won't give your drawings more than a passing glance - if he/she even knows how to read it. If you want things to get done right your drawings need to be pedagogical to the extreme. Construction workers start at 6 in the morning. Every foreman's secret is that they're doing 3 other projects in addition to yours. Nobody is gonna be on time to the meeting you scheduled Renovations are arguably more difficult than new builds. | First: Not (yet) an architect Second: I am currently an architectural master student and did my bachelors in building engineering and construction, which included on-site internships. I therefore have seen (a little) of both sides. Most other students in my architectural master courses did their bachelor in architecture aswell. The main difference I experience on an educational level is the difference in knowing how things are build. Some of the ideas the other students have are great but will cost ridiculous amount of money for small details. During my internsip at a construction company, these types of small, but costly details almost always got cut. Other things is knowing the order in which parts are build, for instance, window placement becomes impossible due to construction etc. The freedom they design with is however much greater as my fellow building engineering transfers sometimes do not persue ideas because of problems that may arrise. So yes, construction did change my view of architecure, but architecture also changed my view on construction. ​ | 1 | 785 | 6.666667 | ||

For one, my deep understanding of the basic principles of building have assisted me in realizing incredible and ambitious projects as an architect. Nothing will kill your project faster than being un-buildable. Nothing will get the seemingly impossible built easier than to properly document, engineer and detail it. You have to understand that nearly all craftsmen and tradesmen just want to do good work at the end of the day. They will perform work of equal quality to the instructions they are given, which are your drawings and specifications. If you understand what is to be built, and you understand how to communicate that information to those building it, they will be happy they know what to do... and you will be happy with the results. | 0 | 11,096 | 3.666667 | ||

7z38wi | architecture_train | 0.7 | [Ask] I aspire to become an Architect more than anything in the world. I have come here for guidance on how I should get there. Is it in any way practical to get my Master's online and have a legitimate shot at making this work? Hello everybody, thank you for your time. I am 23 years old, dropped out of school in the 10th grade. I do have my GED. I live in Florida. I've wanted to follow my dream of becoming an Architect since I was 15, it is 100% what I want to do with my life. I know I'm not getting into this for the money, and that this proffesion is a lifestyle in itself. I wish to practically devote my life to this, as a hobby, passion and career. Mathematics and Creative Design is what I love and am better at than anything else, I truly believe if I follow through with my golden path, in 20 years or so of living and breathing Architecture I'll have developed my own order of operations and style in this art. I wish to syncronize aestetics and functionality in my future designs to realistically bring works of art in our every day lives.. The spacing of units and how they relate to eachother, elevation and non symetrical flowing is what I feel I can bring to the field. Striving to think outside of the box. I know this isn't going to be easy. There's a good chance I'll be stuck designing bathrooms for business plazas in a cubical for a corporate firm, but I feel like shooting for the stars is what life is all about. I want to design Residential High End Homes. I plan on studying close to endlessly on how to maximize my budget.. obsessing on knowing what material to use and when, based on aestetical contrast and structural sound.. I don't know much about the actual process of design, but the concept is something I hold so dear to me. I don't care if I am 'succesful' or not, my goal in life is to learn Architecture and become the best I can in this field. I'm sure a lot of you will tell me that I have no idea how the day to day life of an Architect is, and what the job description actually is. I'm ready to work my ass off to make this happen, I'm diving head first. Pretty balsy, but I am oh so set to go all the way on this. This is my purpose. So, now I need to get there. I have trouble figuring out how things work in this world and communicating with the people around me. Mostly why school didn't work well for me, I'm am as interverted as it gets. I learn better alone, am Zen at heart. I feel like I really would get the most out of getting my degree completely online (except in person exams of course). A book works better than a teacher for me, or in this perspected case, the computer screen. Is it plausible at all to teach myself this way of life? Could I get my Master's of Architecture through online schooling and still hold legitimency in the field, or would that be too much of a blackmark to be considered in such a competitive market? I know there's certain accrededations I'll need - NAAB is the only one I am aware of, I was informed that I practically need to go to a NAAB accrededated school to be tooken seriously. If this Online School fantasy is practical in any sense - does anyone have any reccomendations on which school to go to? I have no clue on this type of thing, I don't even know where to begin. I've been looking into different schools but don't know what to look for. Have my eyes on 'Academy of Art', has a Master's Degree plan with NAAB accredidation.. I'm sure there's a better option out there, that's why I am here to pleed for guidance. I dropped out of school as mentioned before, am hoping that if I bust my ass I can still make this work. If not graduating high school will disqualify me from these programs, what can I do to make this work? I'm ready for the mission of 5 years of schooling - following years of internship to actually be considered an Architect, and still not be "good" in my field. From what I understand, you start getting good at this when you're older. This is a hell of a long road, but this is my destiny. I am willing to do anything to make this work. It's going to be a rough start but I'm going to give it my all to redeem my lack of graduation. Thank you for your time everybody! | dul9o7g | dul9pt9 | 1,519,208,034 | 1,519,208,151 | 4 | 6 | Unfortunately I can't comment on your local system in the US, but I suspect it is very similar to here in Australia. I doubt 5 years schooling and an internship are going to cut it for you. It will be tricky to get in to the 5 year course without finishing high school. You probably can, but would need to do really well at technical college and have a cracking portfolio and interview to get in. That's maybe 7 years, plus minimum 2 years experience to then take the exams to become an architect. More likely 4 years, so 11 year's total, with 7 spent studying. The better option, in my opinion, is to take a course at a technical college to become an architectural technician. Get a job and spend all your extra time learning from the architects and getting bloody good at the technical side. You will likely be promoted to good positions over time if you are as competent as you other colleagues (and better). Here in Australia, once you have 10 years of relevant experience, you can do an intense course in project based work which, if you pass, will let you take the exam and interview to become an architect. The intent of that course is to prove you have learnt everything we learn in uni. Going down this path will take 12 years, so similar to the first option, but you are being paid for 10 of them. That makes a big difference. It's a tough road normally and will be even tougher for you, but there are certainly pathways to do it. | Forget online, its a waste of time and money. If you can get into a school, do that. And speak to them to find out how not us! They may have alternative ways in and most are portfolio based anyway. If that doesn't work, beg to get a job in a firm and just try to get experience, even if you have to do a course in drafting, or architectural technology or interior design to get you at the table. Do that and work from there. ? | 0 | 117 | 1.5 | ||

I've wanted to follow my dream of becoming an Architect since I was 15, it is 100% what I want to do with my life. I know I'm not getting into this for the money, and that this proffesion is a lifestyle in itself. I wish to practically devote my life to this, as a hobby, passion and career. Mathematics and Creative Design is what I love and am better at than anything else, I truly believe if I follow through with my golden path, in 20 years or so of living and breathing Architecture I'll have developed my own order of operations and style in this art. I wish to syncronize aestetics and functionality in my future designs to realistically bring works of art in our every day lives.. The spacing of units and how they relate to eachother, elevation and non symetrical flowing is what I feel I can bring to the field. Striving to think outside of the box. I know this isn't going to be easy. There's a good chance I'll be stuck designing bathrooms for business plazas in a cubical for a corporate firm, but I feel like shooting for the stars is what life is all about. I want to design Residential High End Homes. I plan on studying close to endlessly on how to maximize my budget.. obsessing on knowing what material to use and when, based on aestetical contrast and structural sound.. I don't know much about the actual process of design, but the concept is something I hold so dear to me. I don't care if I am 'succesful' or not, my goal in life is to learn Architecture and become the best I can in this field. I'm sure a lot of you will tell me that I have no idea how the day to day life of an Architect is, and what the job description actually is. I'm ready to work my ass off to make this happen, I'm diving head first. Pretty balsy, but I am oh so set to go all the way on this. This is my purpose. So, now I need to get there. I have trouble figuring out how things work in this world and communicating with the people around me. Mostly why school didn't work well for me, I'm am as interverted as it gets. I learn better alone, am Zen at heart. I feel like I really would get the most out of getting my degree completely online (except in person exams of course). A book works better than a teacher for me, or in this perspected case, the computer screen. Is it plausible at all to teach myself this way of life? Could I get my Master's of Architecture through online schooling and still hold legitimency in the field, or would that be too much of a blackmark to be considered in such a competitive market? I know there's certain accrededations I'll need - NAAB is the only one I am aware of, I was informed that I practically need to go to a NAAB accrededated school to be tooken seriously. If this Online School fantasy is practical in any sense - does anyone have any reccomendations on which school to go to? I have no clue on this type of thing, I don't even know where to begin. I've been looking into different schools but don't know what to look for. Have my eyes on 'Academy of Art', has a Master's Degree plan with NAAB accredidation.. I'm sure there's a better option out there, that's why I am here to pleed for guidance. I dropped out of school as mentioned before, am hoping that if I bust my ass I can still make this work. If not graduating high school will disqualify me from these programs, what can I do to make this work? I'm ready for the mission of 5 years of schooling - following years of internship to actually be considered an Architect, and still not be "good" in my field. From what I understand, you start getting good at this when you're older. This is a hell of a long road, but this is my destiny. I am willing to do anything to make this work. It's going to be a rough start but I'm going to give it my all to redeem my lack of graduation.

This will definitely get you a job to start your architecture career. | Forget online school, if such thing even exists for architecture. You learn design and architecture by doing studios and projects, not by reading a book . Everything else you need for the job you learn during the job anyway. Architecture school notorioulsy don't teach what you need for the job, that's why salary the first few years is shit. Actually architecture school is the best part of being/becoming an architect. Everything that comes afterwards sucks, until you have your own office and are (hopefully) successful. | 0 | 11,113 | -0.4 | ||

This will definitely get you a job to start your architecture career. | I went left school to become a contractor, but returned again at your age (23). I took out all the loans I needed (had no money saved and didn't have many scholarship opportunities). I took the heaviest course loads they'd let me and graduated a year early with both MS and BS degrees. But while, like you, I found studying alone for the science and math pre reqs worked best for me. (I would read through the calculus book independent of the course teacher, and work through all the written problems in class) - however, as I found, this type of study is not applicable to Architecture design coursework. Theory, means and methods, and other architectural courses perhaps. But Architecture is almost entirely a team-based exercise, and if not team, then as a service. And a part of school-project delivery is often an imitation of professional-project delivery. I think if your passionate about architecture, you should pursue it. However, while in your in school - you'll need to challenge yourself to be team-oriented, and service focused. I wouldn't get hung up too much about what you 'want' to do. There's many satisfying areas of architecture, and if you find social interaction difficult, then high-end custom homes would be especially problematic. They often require a very good salesman attitude. There's so much competition. Good luck. let me know if you have any specific questions, R | 0 | 55,978 | -0.2 | ||

(I feel dirty about it still, but it was during the recession and I needed a job...) You can knock out electives through community college, or online, but generally you will need to be in the room with a professor to actually learn things. Look at the state university programs in FL, I know USF's was respectable when I worked down there. | Two things: 1-Learn Rhino- and then get into grasshopper.
