yd5qzj | architecture_train | 0.89 | What are some books/resources I could use to learn more in-depth stuff about classical architecure? I was hoping to get my hands on a copy of "The layman's guide to classical architecure" but it's 40 bucks and i'm not really in the mood of spending that much on a book rn. I have been reading " **The Classical Orders of Architecture, (Robert Chitham)** " to understand the proportions and the technical stuff. I also found a pdf of "The Ten books of architecture" by **(Leon Battista Alberti) 1755 edition.** It's a fat book tho. The problem I'm facing is that I understand the theory behind the orders and pediments but I understand how to put them all together to create an actual painting of a building. What are the rules on proportions of a building, how do you go about making a cohesive well put together building. For example, how would i go about figuring out the proportions of this building if i were to build it myself: https://preview.redd.it/bc33gmtqlyv91.png?width=873&format=png&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=9279158c8e69b7e9ae08683f4d5758afc7dd05c7 Or this: https://preview.redd.it/haq6dknplyv91.png?width=790&format=png&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=0d6440831da1091b75bcacbda5acd2ab8c594561 Any suggestions? | itqjufm | itqqcu0 | 1,666,713,620 | 1,666,716,173 | 1 | 2 | I don't quite know what you mean by 'figuring out the proportions ... if I were to build it myself' Can you elaborate? | >Some suggestions: > >Vitruvius- De Architectura > >Palladio- I quattro libri dell'architettura (The Four Books of Architecture) > >Serlio- Tutte l'opere d'architettura et prospetiva ("All the works on architecture and perspective") > >Vignola- Regola delli cinque ordini d’architettura (The Five Orders of Architecture) > >William Ware- The American Vignola: A Guide to the Making of Classical Architecture > >Alexander Tzonis and Liane Lefaivre- Classical Architecture: The Poetics of Order > >You might want to look into the works of Leon Krier and Demetri Porphyrios, as well. > >Edit: From a design perspective, no design is in a vacuum, and you have to address the owner's program, the site and the broader context of the community. If you study classical buildings, you'll find they push and pull the rules as needed to make things work. The site, elevations and plans are not separate entities, but tie together. A site with a magnificent view on one side may suggest where you should put rooms/functions that would benefit from the view, and those room's requirements will help you layout the elevation. The Poetics of Order is really good at explaining the underlying order that serves as the foundation for a classical design. Copied from my response in r/classicalarchitecture A lot of people, architects included, get caught up in the details of classical ornamentation rather than understanding how everything is tied together and ordered. Its good that you are trying to see the forest, rather than just the trees. | 0 | 2,553 | 2 | ||

I was never great at architecture, but i kept going because i love being creative and helping solve problems that will better our future. if there is something in the field that pulls you, then keep going. finish at your own pace. you might not end up doing exactly what you want to do, but you’re young so you might not even know what that thing is yet until you’ve been introduced to it. arch is a great stepping stone to critical thinking, which will be beneficial in the real world. be open minded to other opportunities, not just “architect”. best of luck. | 0 | 5,763 | 2 | ||

Thank you in advance! | f0l1mq6 | f0kpmds | 1,568,694,930 | 1,568,684,875 | 4 | 2 | This past summer I worked at a small firm as an intern, but got a good opportunity to see all sides of the business, everything from the tedium of doing drawings of details to creating designs, to working with clients and running the business. I went into it with a lot of excitement about what I was going to do, but at the end they had to let me go because they didn't have the work demand they expected and couldn't afford me anymore. While I wish I still had a source of income, I was fine with being laid off. During that time I realized architecture wasn't for me. The design and problem solving aspect was fun, but that made up very little of the rest of the job, and I realized I couldn't hang with my coworkers. It was evident that architecture was their lives, and in a way was all they knew. During those few months I realized it's quite hard to fake it in architecture, and for me at least the pay isn't good enough to suffer through all the rest of it if I enjoy it. I have a personal philosophy in life that you should be in one of two categories; do something you enjoy so you don't mind if the pay isn't great, or get paid well to do something you don't enjoy. If you are paid well for something you enjoy you've won the jack pot, but you should never be paid poorly for something you don't enjoy doing. But my time there was valuable, I learned what I didn't want to do, but I also realized what I do want to do, so now I can persue that. To wrap this all up, architecture should be something you are either all in on, or not at all in my experience. So if you are doubting your interest in it you should probably look down different avenues. There are plenty of other careers where you can use the skills and knowledge you have built, things like civil engineering or construction. Or do something else entirely, I'm now going to follow a career in auto racing. Whatever you do, enjoy it, or get well paid for it. Hopefully you find this useful. | It's all depends on expectations.

Could you describe what sort of work you would like to do? | Here's what's difficult about the profession: we're expected to predict the future with perfect accuracy. And on every project we're doomed to fail in some way: there's just too many things to know and never enough time to check them all. We have standards, contracts, consultants, reviews, and insurances to protect us, but there's no safeguards for the personal stress of knowing no matter how hard you work you're going to be blamed for some inevitable mistake. That tends to be why people end up leaving, constantly feeling like a failure is just simply exhausting. But if you ever walk into a completed project you designed it's a deeply satisfying experience and all the struggle leading to that point feels so trivial in comparison. | 0 | 1,852 | 2 | ||

Whether it be architecture or another field, find what motivates you. Find what makes you happy. Within that, you will find success. 2: Get out of school as soon as you can. Education is great but work experience is priceless. Yes, it's that much different. Architecture isn't my career choice, its like my 4th. Something I stumbled onto but I've been in the field for a few years, I'm also at my second firm and have started pursuing my lic. these past couple of months. Whats the most rewarding part of my work? The challenges, the rejections, the revisions, the ever changing field, managing clients expectations, deadlines, and every god damn thing that makes me grey. I find that rewarding because it is not easy. One solution to a problem may not work for the next. Especially when you catch a plan checker on a bad day. But that's what makes it exciting. What ever you decide on doing, just make sure your heart is in it. Good luck. | It's all depends on expectations. Could you describe what sort of work you would like to do? | 1 | 21,333 | 1.5 | ||

After graduating architecture school in '97 I have had: * 4 Jobs in traditional architecture firms * Free lance graphic designer & artist * Licensed real estate agent * FedEx package handler at a sorting center * Facilities/ building surveyor * Corporate architect/ owner's rep This is not a linear list. be flexible. It is a tough job, a demanding job and sometimes you will take a break - weather you want to or not throughout you life. (recessions come and go and architects are the first to go). It is one of the few jobs where you must have a wide assortment of skills, knowledge and combined with design talent. Most jobs and companies only require one real skill, and you can be mediocre at it for years. Architecture requires growth and practice and there is little room for stagnation. and when you feel like you are stagnating try something else or a different firm that can challenge you. good luck | so calling out everyone? lol. someone posted this same exact thing last week. | 1 | 5,646 | 2 | ||

But at work, that’s only 10% of what you do. So a lot of people are disenfranchised. But the thing is, I love coordinating the structural engineer, and hvac, and researching codes. So if you love problem solving, you’ll like architecture. But if you only love design and want to do that 100% of the time, you will not like architecture. | 0 | 49,416 | 2 | ||

It turns out, the biggest thing is (too me) it’s a lot more office/admin work and coordination/project management than design. And in school, all you do is design. But at work, that’s only 10% of what you do. So a lot of people are disenfranchised. But the thing is, I love coordinating the structural engineer, and hvac, and researching codes. So if you love problem solving, you’ll like architecture. But if you only love design and want to do that 100% of the time, you will not like architecture. | 0 | 28,576 | 2 | ||
7pcd05 | architecture_train | 0.88 | [Ask] Are there any architects or other people in related fields I could ask some career/college questions? I'm currently a junior in high school, and I think architecture is the way I want to go for a career in the future. However, I have a few questions. 1. Do I need to be a super artistic person in order for architecture to work out? I did well in the technical and architectural drafting class in my school, (94 overall grade), but I'm not very good at free hand drawing things. 2. What are good fields similar to architecture, but maybe with less of the art bit and more of the engineering part. I do well in school, and I'm good at math and science related things. 3. Would you recommend going to school for architecture or would you recommend going into a different major? Thanks! | dsgjafp | dsgne5r | 1,515,569,759 | 1,515,579,700 | 2 | 3 | Depends on how you want to work. Also check you local Architecture Institute / governing body for what's available. In Canada, we have: Technicians, Technologists, Intern Architects, Architects. You're probably looking in to a technical position in architecture, or one in engineering (mechanical, structural, electrical...etc). Techs are not expected to be great artists. You should be able to quickly hand sketch clear 2d images for plans, elevations, details. They should know AutoCAD well. Techs should also know how to navigate your local building / zoning code. Other skills that up employability (in order) are BIM (Revit, Rhino...etc), Photoshop, 3d rendering (SketchUp, 3DSMax...etc), coding (Dynamo, Grasshopper). Coding is a very new niche skill, few know it and we're still feeling around on how useful it is. 2 year diploma in architecture with work experience and self study will get you an entry level position. A bachelor's is only really to move on to a master's, and at that point you're looking to aim for being a registered architect (creativity required). | 1) Not anymore. A skilled drawer is always appreciated in the architecture field, but that skill today is only required in immediate sketches or cool perspectives that can take the place of a rendering. Of course you'll have to draw to project something, but as long as your shapes are understandable there's no problem. For every other thing, architecture is entirely on pc and softwares. I can 100% say that it is better for you to know how to use a computer rather than how to draw, nowadays. 2) There are engineering fields all over the place. Other than construction (which is composed of numerous fields by itself) there is an engineering for sewers, space rockets, cars, industrial machinery.. 3) As an architecture student, choose an Architecture school if you are ok with: sleeping very little, being taught lots of different theories on how to make a project while all of them are not definitive or have a possibility to have implications in the real world outside college, using a computer every day and almost all day long. Finally, choose it if you are fascinated by that field and you consider yourself an artistic person. What I mean is that architecture is beautiful, but getting to the point of being a professional is REALLY hard no matter what everyone says. You have to be intelligent, artistic, a manager, a skilled speaker, good with computers and drawings (and paper/wood crafting). In a way, engineering may be considered easier since stuff can be learned from books alone, consisting mostly in math and technical planning (please don't kill me engineers), while architecture is a mix of disciplines you have to master or that you'll have to master soon. | 0 | 9,941 | 1.5 | ||

tol2rl | architecture_train | 0.92 | How do you architects feel about the modern work being hated for being "ugly" or maybe even depressing? Firstly, I've been curious if what you do is really passion, or is it merely something that might be cost efficient for the ever growing world? I might be one of those people that don't generally like the modern architecture and I would like to better understand why most architects sacrifice "beauty" over expression? Is it the same as any other modern art? Is this part of the movement? Secondly, does every architect go with this modern movement, or are there some, who still try to foster the old traditions?

The disagreements within and without are about the *methods of achieving that goal*. This is an important distinction to understand. Phrases like, “ most architects sacrifice "beauty" over expression” oversimplifies the issue prevent having useful open discussions. 2 - Myself as well as the office I work at design new traditional buildings. Though a minority within the field, there are others out there. The Institute of Classical Architecture & Art is an advocate for many here in the US. 3 - Clients come to us because they want traditional architecture. The stylistic expression of that is largely left to our direction, but in always in discussion with the client. | I have a rule that has helped me hold my sanity through life.

This way one who is sitting in the living room will not see you when you wake up to go to the bathroom. | my mom is an architect and one of her clients wanted the bathroom in the bedroom. she tried to make him change his mind but he really wanted it. he insisted, he got his bedroom/bathroom all-in-one and turned out it was the worst idea he ever had. without proper ventilation the humidity got everywhere. wet sheets, furniture and clothes. it's so unhealthy guys. don't do this shit. | 0 | 7,039 | -15.5 | ||
srdes7 | architecture_train | 0.74 | Why do architects put bathrooms inside bedrooms? There is a trend, especially in houses that are let out as Airbnbs, to put bathrooms inside bedrooms with no walls or doors in between. I really dislike this because: - taking a shower right next to the bed makes the bedroom damp - I do not wish to lie in bed and watch my partner on the loo - toilets smells in the bedroom are not great I’ve spoken to many friends about this and no one understands why you would want this.

The reason was for a downstairs bedroom and bathroom. The architect insisted on us having a shawer in the bedroom. My mother outright told him not to do this. But he ignored and had the builders to construct walls to accommodate a shawer in the bedroom and leaving it out the bathroom. We shortly fired him and completed the works ourselves. It would have been a terrible placing for it. As he planned to place it right next to the only window in the room and in the middle of a walkway. | The only reason I would do that is if the client wanted to do the minimum amount of work to qualify a space as an ADU. We put in tiny useless kitchens for this reason. I'm in CA where the state is pushing ADUs hard to help alleviate the housing crisis, so qualifying as an ADU can mean the difference between your remodel being approved or not by the planning/building department. | 0 | 375 | 18 | ||

I’ve only seen pictures of bathtubs in middle of bedrooms. I think that’s awkward but could work if it’s only used rarely and if people have a dedicated bathroom elsewhere in the house. I’ve seen attached bathrooms with see through mirrors instead of walls and that freaks me out. I think it’s more of a client demand than the architect.
