[Ask] What are some currently living architects influenced by nature? I’ve been quite fascinated by Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater, Bofill’s La Fabrica as well as several of Jensen & Skodvin’s works recently. What fascinates me is their way of working in harmony with nature and surroundings. I want to make a sort of reference archive where I can look for inspiration and information during my studies. I’ve included quite a few already, but noticed that most of them are dead or really old and not working anymore. Therefore I’m wondering if you guys know of any that fit the description and should be included? I’m sure there are many living natureloving architects out there!

Olson Kundig, Lake Flato, Bohlin Cywinski Jackson. All practice sustainable, site specific architecture and are large active firms. Glen Murkutt as another user responded is also a huge influence to these firms.
Check out Toyo It, he uses a lot of organic language in his buildings.

This project is a somewhat recent one in the landscape architecture world. Work with existing cliff faces and rocks to keep the nature and surroundings as natural as possible. https://www.archdaily.com/375876/tudela-culip-restoration-project-emf

**Stefano Boeri's** **Bosco Verticale** in Milan, Italy, is an example that comes to mind. His architectural firm is now working on recreating it's success over in the far east with similar projects based on the initial experience.

My roommate turned me on to Rick Joy. I'm a big fan of his attention to materials and shadows. It probably helps so much of his work is showcased by beautiful deserts, but I like the Vermont farm too! I'm just a landscape designer, though, so my input could be wrong ;)

[Ask] What are some currently living architects influenced by nature? I’ve been quite fascinated by Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater, Bofill’s La Fabrica as well as several of Jensen & Skodvin’s works recently. What fascinates me is their way of working in harmony with nature and surroundings. I want to make a sort of reference archive where I can look for inspiration and information during my studies. I’ve included quite a few already, but noticed that most of them are dead or really old and not working anymore. Therefore I’m wondering if you guys know of any that fit the description and should be included? I’m sure there are many living natureloving architects out there!

Definitely check out Emilio Ambasz if you haven't already! Also don't overlook vernacular/rural architecture within your context ("architecture without architects"). Oftentimes such buildings (as humble as they are) are very carefully considered to be in harmony with their natural landscape.

Been toying with algorithmic framing of a house structure. https://buildfreely.com/house/ This house was generated by inputing dimensions and some options like 24 vs 16in oc studs. 2x4 or 2x6, etc.. I can generate anything such as a doghouse, shed, ADU, house, barn, etc... It's pretty crude, just a proof of concept. Currently done via an OpenSCAD program I wrote, and published using three.js
Thesis on a r/GreenMarshallPlan Rather than dismantling single family zoning, we can build *new* cities with existing technologies. Desalination pipelines, concrete block energy storage, indoor farming, triple junction solar (moores law will make it economical) and passivehaus aspect ratios.

I'm working on dividing an old family house above an old bakery (now rented out as shop space) into 5 seperate apartments. The building is 70 years old, at the centre of a small town and a municipal monument and the house interior hasnt been properly maintained since the 90s. So basically we have to strip the whole interior; find and solve any structural problems; re-do the roof, the wiring and plumbing; change the interior layout; and then new finishings, kitchens, bathrooms, the works. Also my uncle still lives in it and can't seem to make up his mind about (temporarily) moving out. And his 70 year old Russian wife is throwing tantrums. Fun.

My client wanted his house and garden to be made. So I showed him plans I made, he took them "to talk with his wife" about them. Didn't hear anything from him for like 1 or 2 weeks. Then I just went there and saw he used MY plans, gave it to some other company to make everything. Afterwards he went to me and said he didn't like my plans so he didn't call me back. Fucking Asshole

It isn't gun-pulling bad, but more like *unfortunately too-typical bad behavior* from clients. Meet with potential client. (I don't charge for initial pre-agreement meeting) Budget does not meet expectations by any stretch. Tell them this. They ask for a proposal that meets their budget. Spend an hour meeting with them, and 2 hours drawing up a proposal. More emails, phone. Have a second meeting to redefine scope. Spend another hour revising contract, scope of work. (I'm very detailed with the scope of work in the contract so that it is clear if ad services are warranted). More email discussion. Want to meet again. I resist, because now its clear they are trouble. They insist that they've "gotten real", and have a realistic set of priorities now. Meet again. Still clear they are in la-la land. Tell them so, nicely. Tell them I'm not redoing the proposal yet again. Find out they are also jerking around other architects I know. Stop answering their emails. Hours and hours of my time wasted.
Was? IS. my wife. I'm her architect, g.c., business consultant, IT director, marketing consultant. Most of the time smooth, sometimes it's nightmare.

When I was younger and needed a side hustle I used to disassemble derelict classic cars and sell them for parts on eBay. I love old cars and find that the way mechanical bits fit together is very soothing. I also think it gives a good feel for how the more technical parts of a building can come together. Thankfully now it is just a hobby.

[ask] Architects of Reddit what is your side hustle I'm interested to hear what kind of things you do do make cash on the side. Personally I do the odd planning application for domestic extensions.

Design/build and fabrication (structural and architectural metals) for other GC’s and architects. It makes for a nice mix, and each informs the other.

What can I use to apply a facade to my drywall without damaging it? I'm redesigning a room to have a new modular walls placed over my drywalls. The intended design is to have a small 1-inch gap between the drywall and the new facade for cables and such. This is the part I'm having difficulty with. In my mind's eye, I would use metal strips to bolt into the room's joists as structural bracing points for the facade to avoid ruining the drywall. Do these metal braces exist already and if so what are they called? I cannot for the life of me find them online. I technically \*can\* make them, but would rather avoid doing so if possible. ty in advance.

Drywall is easy to fix. Just needs patching and paint, if you ever take your contraption down. Just look up wood/steel studs those might work for you.
Fur it out with 1x2” wood strips. Patch the holes and repaint when you leave. I’m assuming it’s in a space you don’t own. Unless these panels are for aesthetics, it would be easier to just cut into the existing drywall for your cable runs and patch them once and be done. Patching a few holes in an existing wall and repainting is a lot easier than building a whole new fake wall and finishing all the joints/corners, then undoing it again later. Leave them with the house when you vacate. See r/drywall.

Look up Hat Channels. They are essentially the same as wood furring strips except they contact the wall in fewer places and get you a bigger gap (7/8" as opposed to 3/4").

Hi u/MindOverManter ... Not only do I think this concept is great...I have done it more than once (sorry no photos) and the first time was watching my mother do it in her studio... Depending on your design there is no need for wall perforation at all as you can use either an independent "all wood joiner" armature and/or the application of neodymium magnets to hold certain assemblies in place... The last one was designed and the client "DIY" themselves just employed a network of "painters' canvases" that became not only the wall but ceiling finishes as well. This too was another art studio. She "hot glued" metal washers to the wall and the 25mm magnets to the framework. They simply "snapped" on their own accord into place. Her only regret was not going with the smaller magnets I recommended because they are simply too strong the larger they get... The wood joinery system is based on the traditional wall and "dropped ceilings" of Japan (i.e. 網代 "Ajiro") that I design and make... Good Luck and ask more questions if you have them...

College Grad asking for advice on job options Hi everyone, I have my masters degree and I worked at an interior design firm for a year and recently gained a raise to $20.00 per hour. While this would be nice my boss gave the opinion that even after 3 years here I wouldn't even be at $25.00 per hour and still not receive benefits. Feeling I could be making more money elsewhere. I applied to a firm and they offered me $16.00 per hour in exchange for "growth" and recently I was in talks with a pizza company for an Architecture Coordinator and their position has a max salary budget at 60k along with benefits. Any advice or insight on what I should do? I enjoy my current position however I need to go somewhere else for longevity and job security.

That's the rate I made fresh outta grad school, in 2008! Times have changed a bit, that's a terrible offer nowadays.
Still a student but ive heard recommendations of moving ship every few years asking for a higher wage so you don’t get stagnating pay at the first firm you choose

Is there any way to get a discount on the Revit program as I need to show competency for a job but don’t have the money to buy it outright at full price? I have been using sketchup for years but I am going for a job as a building designer but I don’t have experience with revit but manual design. I need to show competency as training is included.

You can always steal it. It's ok to steal from autodesk.
just pirate the software. theres tons of torrents on 1337x and pirate bay.

You can use the free trial. If you need more than 30 days there are some files you can delete to reset the 30 day clock on the PC end but you will need to use a new autodesk login as they track the 30 days on that end as well. Or if you need it for longer and don't need to do more than just drawing a building Revit LT is $60/mo monthly

I believe autodesk will give you a license if it’s not for commercial use. I bet if you reached out to their support and explained your situation they would help you out. I have my own revit license I pay for and I get fusion 360 for free as a non-commercial use license.

If you have a .edu email you can download and use the latest version of revit for free for a year. If not, you can download the latest version for 60 days for free as a trial.

Sucked and sucked. School is run by ivory tower weirdos almost exclusively. The exceptions are rare and precious indeed. Its definitely more manageable if youre disciplined and mature. But its a lot to ask from the majority of recent high school seniors. Very few professors are going to shoot straight with you about professional life and your work isnt going to do much to prepare you for it. Work is a bummer. You either stop designing/architecting and manage to advance your career or you stay an architect and eventually either take a pay cut to compete with younger workers or you get replaced by them. And at the end of the day the only people paying for buildings are rich people who dont give a fuck in one way or another. Plus the people running the firms are competing to be the cheapest and the buck gets passed down to you. All that said, i love buildings and i love design now more than ever. I would do it all again. But im fairly certain i wont be pursuing it professionally except in a narrow band of circumstances. I would caution you to think long and hard about this path. It is very much not for everyone. Find the people who like it and find out how similar you are to them.
It really depends on where you study and how you leverage your education once you finish your studies. Architecture schools can vary quite a lot in their approach to your education. Some emphasize abstract theory, others emphasize practicality and typical construction, and most fall along a spectrum somewhere in between. It's really important to understand where an institution falls on that spectrum before you decide to enroll. Personally, I entered my university (a top 10 undergrad program in the US) without a background or solid grasp of what I was getting into...and the first couple of years were extremely difficult and disheartening. I wanted to quit on multiple occasions. But I loved designing, even though I wasn't instantly good at it. And I loved learning about architecture, and had a hard time imagining what else I would like to be doing, instead. I had a great professor in my third semester who understood my frustration and self doubt, and he told me something really important that has shaped my entire career, so far. (Graduated in 2013). He said architecture is one of the last "general" degrees, and that architects are some of the most important generalists in the world today. He meant that architects aren't supposed to be specialists or experts in one *thing*. They are tasked with understanding *many things* in order to realize their designs. You have to understand the basics of how form, space, and order affect our people, places, cities, and world. You have to generally understand how systems (structural, mechanical, etc) work in a building, and how where your building is located will dictate your approach to that design for that space. You need to know how the natural elements like sun and wind and water will affect your time, place, and program. And you have to know how to manage the politics of a broader team so that you can negotiate often disparate and competing agendas in a way that gets your design realized to your intent. Architects need to know a lot about people and design, of course, but they also need to be versed in politics, communication, municipal regulations, engineering, nature, and the human condition. Do any of those interest you? Well, with an architecture degree you get the wonderful luxury of choosing your own destiny because you'll exit school knowing a bit about all of it...without having to know everything about everything. If you go to work for an architecture firm out of school your first few years will be tough. You're working for someone else's vision, and you don't make a lot of money or get a lot of praise or respect. You may be drafting bathrooms in a skyscraper or rendering a boring box store or itemizing all the types of doors and windows in some rich person's 5th vacation house. When I entered the profession I felt the same kind of disenchantment that I felt when I entered school. But after a few years something amazing happens. You realize you can take your huge variety of and exposure to your experiences - from school and your first taste of the profession - and do....whatever you want. Want to be a graphic designer? An art director? An advocate for green cities? A consultant for a company that works with architects? A furniture maker? A salesperson? A photographer? A contractor or an estimator or a home inspector? Do you want to work on a set for Broadway? Do you want to work in government? Do you want to become a lighting designer, an architectural critic, a public relations official, or a real estate agent? Well, you *can,* because you are a generalist with some degree of specialization that you can align with your own interests. The world of architecture has so many stones to overturn because it is just that - the world.

Contrary to other commenters, I loved architecture school. Yeah, it’s time consuming, but it’s fun! While everyone else is studying for boring traditional tests, you get to draw and model and work on projects that are inherently YOURS. it was very fulfilling for me. Graduate school was even more fun, because there were no bullshit classes to take, it was all just architecture. I loved it. I also loved working in the real world…at first. I’m a little burnt out right now (been out of school for about 5 years) but I have read/heard that is kind of normal. I still can’t imagine doing anything else. Also, I’m working in what I’ve come to realize is a somewhat toxic environment at my current firm. The good news is jobs are plentiful right now so I could probably easily switch firms if I would just get my butt in gear and send out my resume and portfolio. Anyway, that’s kinda off topic. I’ve known I wanted to be an architect since I was about 10 years old. You really do have to be passionate about it, or else you’ll be miserable. It’s hard to explain how you know it’s meant for you, you somehow just know…honestly you probably won’t like it if it’s not really a passion and only an interest…
Studying it was brutal. Felt like a waste of time, gluing models together over and over and over gives you a worthless skill. Working feels better at first because you make money but you quickly realize how bullshit the industry is (unless you enjoy being overworked and underpaid doing meaningless, tedious work every day). I’m now a developer and couldn’t be happier. Instead of spending decades working and hoping I get to design something one day, I now tell the principal architects what we want. So now I get to direct the design without doing the gritty work.

Depends on where you will be studying I guess but let me tell you: Uni is going to be hell. You will be spending all your time and money on your projects so you better only have friends in your faculty. After Uni however it depends on what you will we working on. If you go into competition architecture the uni lifestyle will go on. Long hours bad pay and very little fulfillment in my opinion. Working on Projects for Clients that will be realised however is a different world. Set working ours with very little overtime and gratification from your clients satisfaction with your project. Also it's a super cool feeling to in the end stand inside the building you have designed. Another upside is that if you are smart about certain aspects you might even be able to do good for the environment with your work :-)

I am not an architect but I am in construction. I think in work, communication and collaboration with client and engineers is much more important than you probably think.
Contrary to other commenters, I loved architecture school. Yeah, it’s time consuming, but it’s fun! While everyone else is studying for boring traditional tests, you get to draw and model and work on projects that are inherently YOURS. it was very fulfilling for me. Graduate school was even more fun, because there were no bullshit classes to take, it was all just architecture. I loved it. I also loved working in the real world…at first. I’m a little burnt out right now (been out of school for about 5 years) but I have read/heard that is kind of normal. I still can’t imagine doing anything else. Also, I’m working in what I’ve come to realize is a somewhat toxic environment at my current firm. The good news is jobs are plentiful right now so I could probably easily switch firms if I would just get my butt in gear and send out my resume and portfolio. Anyway, that’s kinda off topic. I’ve known I wanted to be an architect since I was about 10 years old. You really do have to be passionate about it, or else you’ll be miserable. It’s hard to explain how you know it’s meant for you, you somehow just know…honestly you probably won’t like it if it’s not really a passion and only an interest…

Graduates in architecture, what was it like studying and how is it like working? I have a slight interest in building and design and I just want to know what it would be like taking this path in life. From the studies to the work itself

Depends on where you will be studying I guess but let me tell you: Uni is going to be hell. You will be spending all your time and money on your projects so you better only have friends in your faculty. After Uni however it depends on what you will we working on. If you go into competition architecture the uni lifestyle will go on. Long hours bad pay and very little fulfillment in my opinion. Working on Projects for Clients that will be realised however is a different world. Set working ours with very little overtime and gratification from your clients satisfaction with your project. Also it's a super cool feeling to in the end stand inside the building you have designed. Another upside is that if you are smart about certain aspects you might even be able to do good for the environment with your work :-)

Is $15 for my first position after graduating (B.Arch) reasonable? I live in Irvine but technically work on the border of Santa Ana. My internships during school were for design-build projects and a small interior design studio so this is my first "real" architecture job. I'm truly more interested in archviz, environmental design, 3d visualization, and motion design but I don't think it's extremely realistic to get into any of those fields right now until I build up a portfolio.

No, you should be paid a regular weekly or hourly rate. One payment of $15 is not enough
Oof not even close. You should be paid at the very least a viable living wage (based on you living on your own). Also, be realistic about your skills and experience. You might not have a ton, but you certainly have a lot more than none.

Fuck no.
The A.I.A. has data on these things. But remember these are averages and updated slowly in a field that has a lot of people forgoing fair pay for decades “to build a portfolio” be realistic for yourself and everyone else in the field. You have specialized skills and create a ton of value. You deserve a fair share. $15 ain’t it especially in Irvine CA. You can’t rent a studio, much less pay any other bills or student loans on a bullshit rate like that. http://info.aia.org/salary/

Depends on the cost of living in your city and the size of the firm. I started at a very small firm with no experience but a BSA and an MA at $18/hr. In that smaller city a one bedroom apartment was about $800-$900. All of my friends with the same degrees started at mid $20's/ hr, but they were in moderate sized cities with a higher cost of living. Though I'd still say 15 is low unless it's a very small city or town. Be wary. As for being paid hourly, some areas have laws that force entry level architectural designers to be paid hourly. It's to combat the normalized culture of overworking them.

Assuming you mean Santa Ana, CA, that's absurdly low. If you have an accredited degree, you should be making mid 20s at a minimum. I saw the AIA's magazine came out this past week with the average pay scales- entry level average for the country was about $56,000, which is a little under $27/hr. I'd have to ask if this is a full time position or contract labor though. If you're on a part time contract, it's still low but less absurdly so. If you're a full time employee, you're being burned.

Hell no. I made $16/hr as an intern in Oklahoma. Tell whoever offered you this job to pound sand. I’d be **furious** if I were you. I don’t know what the market is like California but I’d be expecting at least $30/hr.

Make sure your phone is not glued to your hand when you apply. Most of the people who apply at my work place are one armed because of their other hand is holding their security blanket (phone). If it is there constantly then $15 is too much pay.

Need some advice on my next move. I'm about to start architecture school this fall. Hello everybody! I've had a passion for architecture since I can remember. Ever since I was a little kid, I always wanted to design or build SOMETHING, whether that be a building, bridge, airplane, or spaceship. I was destined to be either an engineer or an architect. I started becoming interested in stadium architecture around the time I was probably 10 years old or so. I went to old Texas Stadium for a Boy Scout event and I was absolutely fascinated by it. From then on, I was always designing my own stadiums and building little cardboard models of them. https://preview.redd.it/tmjmifxhxqi81.jpg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=ef00fbeb5aa93c34b1b9abf7dfe0aa74807ff4b8 Eventually I learned cad and sketchup and I redid all the stadiums I made out of posterboard and made computer models of them https://preview.redd.it/ramxk5aqxqi81.jpg?width=1142&format=pjpg&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=1db351ec15937965a853accc63a799cd8013e048 Here are some of the concepts I've done over the years. As I've observed and been to more stadiums, I've gotten better at being more creative. Side note: the first stadium I ever did was done when I was about 10 years old. I learned AutoCAD at 12, and started learning sketchup around 18ish. I am now 32. https://preview.redd.it/lbbw8ue7yqi81.jpg?width=1150&format=pjpg&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=2301119d865964e163c59ea8bf86f99223a91991 https://preview.redd.it/hi3neue7yqi81.jpg?width=1150&format=pjpg&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=d036892ca91b04afa0db6e63ee942e9d4f4e0f4b https://preview.redd.it/6mku3te7yqi81.jpg?width=958&format=pjpg&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=2ebd1b87c535165c9390f79d2572f966b86039ac https://preview.redd.it/30osoue7yqi81.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=1ef17f3aea09855fe941910b2e9b3fb51bdf323e https://preview.redd.it/7cy39te7yqi81.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=333cdd94062d99f6517c0e248131d6f3eaae5501 https://preview.redd.it/dpbcwue7yqi81.jpg?width=1150&format=pjpg&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=c53effbdc5672d0659d620f71daca77c13370055 Due to social pressure to go to schools that didnt have architecture, I ended up not pursuing it right out of high school like I originally wanted to, mess around, dropped out of school altogether, learned how to work on cars, did that for 6 years, got burnt out on that, and have been doing gig economy work for the past 4 years. It isnt getting me where I want to go financially, and it is not fulfilling to me AT ALL. When COVID shut everything down, I decided to go back to school to pursue my passion. I have one more semester left before I get my Associates Degree in Computer Aided Design. The program at my school covered AutoCAD, Revit, and Solidworks. I haven't had to do a real resume in quite some time, and I am looking to start applying for entry level drafting jobs. What advice do you all have for me? I will be attending a 4 year University in the fall to begin working on my B.Arch degree and then to get my M. Arch, followed by the Architecture Registration Exam. I went the direction of getting my CAD degree 1st so I can work for a firm while simultaneously going to school. My ultimate goal is to work for a firm that specializes in sports and entertainment venues such as HKS, Populous, or Gensler. I'm in Dallas, TX. As of right now, I'm okay with working anywhere just to get my foot in the door and to gain some valuable on the job experience. What types of things should I include in my resume? Do I need my entire work history or just relevant experience? My dad is an architect and I worked for his firm during the summers while I was in high school and a couple years the first time I went to college. I can draft up some sample projects in AutoCAD, Revit, and Sketchup if needed. I'm not sure if a full portfolio would be necessary for an entry level drafting job. My current restriction is my super old and slow Dell Laptop. I will post a couple stadium projects that I am working on now that have been put on hold due to the fact that they are so RAM heavy that my computer cannot keep up. https://preview.redd.it/2282thlv0ri81.jpg?width=940&format=pjpg&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=26c43523f03b2735e58a3384cb64f61bebd78ded https://preview.redd.it/ffcwyhlv0ri81.jpg?width=940&format=pjpg&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=9a8a974d9660bcd03fbf1319f766f82bd7db23d3 Anyway, sorry for the long post. I'm just really pumped about finally getting to ACTUALLY pursue my dreams. Thank you all for the help!

Go for your dream as an Architect! The passion is there and you already know that you want! It is not too late! I have a schoolmate that has a similar story of yours. He already have another degree but isn't satisfied with his career because deep inside he wants to be an Architect. He just got his license last 2 years in his 40s and now he is enjoying every moment of it. Follow your dream!
If it’s drafting you want, you’ll need to master construction documents. Familiarize yourself with how an architectural set comes together. You already know revit which is a plus. Most firms use this for CDs. When applying, preferably have an entire set to show, or at least examples of said documentation. There’s so much work here that firms need all the help. Also, you could have just gone to UT-A. Great school and fairly inexpensive compared to most. Keep in mind that working while going to school is very difficult and you realistically won’t have time to do both and finish school in a reasonable time. You could work with a recruiter if you want to work now, they may be able to find a firm for you. Or you could start school and intern during the summers. Especially since you’ve got some experience. I’m also sure your current school has some resources for employment.

I will be attending a 4 year University in the fall to begin working on my B.Arch degree and then to get my M. Arch, followed by the Architecture Registration Exam. I went the direction of getting my CAD degree 1st so I can work for a firm while simultaneously going to school. My ultimate goal is to work for a firm that specializes in sports and entertainment venues such as HKS, Populous, or Gensler. I'm in Dallas, TX. As of right now, I'm okay with working anywhere just to get my foot in the door and to gain some valuable on the job experience. What types of things should I include in my resume? Do I need my entire work history or just relevant experience? My dad is an architect and I worked for his firm during the summers while I was in high school and a couple years the first time I went to college. I can draft up some sample projects in AutoCAD, Revit, and Sketchup if needed. I'm not sure if a full portfolio would be necessary for an entry level drafting job. My current restriction is my super old and slow Dell Laptop. I will post a couple stadium projects that I am working on now that have been put on hold due to the fact that they are so RAM heavy that my computer cannot keep up. https://preview.redd.it/2282thlv0ri81.jpg?width=940&format=pjpg&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=26c43523f03b2735e58a3384cb64f61bebd78ded https://preview.redd.it/ffcwyhlv0ri81.jpg?width=940&format=pjpg&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=9a8a974d9660bcd03fbf1319f766f82bd7db23d3 Anyway, sorry for the long post. I'm just really pumped about finally getting to ACTUALLY pursue my dreams. Thank you all for the help!

It’s great you have a specialized focus. That will make future decisions easier if you always follow that lens. Stadium design is brutally competitive. Big money projects with tight budgets, complex programs, prestigious, high power owners with government constituents and general NIMBY-ness all equal fast, stress, big teams, and general messiness trying to be perfect. Show you understand and can handle all that type of complexity in your resume and cover letter and it will get you miles and miles. You will need a portfolio linked online and to bring with you if interviewing in person. How much you decide to include is up to you. Only show what is applicable and your best. Design and Construction Documentation knowledge will help. Show that you can take direction and apply it. Don’t make excuses for limited computer power. All firms have limited resources. Show what you can even though the resources are limited. Automotive work would make you stand out in a crowd for having a different experience and show that you can understand complicated things that need to work together. Use that background and show how it applies to the role you want. EDIT: You might want to take your passion for stadiums and do some social media posts about stadiums you’ve visited. Note differences, Compare and contrast them. Point out things you like and don’t like. Are there problem areas that could be addressed differently? Visit stadiums of the firms you want to work with, or do posts about those firms’ work via linked in.
If it’s drafting you want, you’ll need to master construction documents. Familiarize yourself with how an architectural set comes together. You already know revit which is a plus. Most firms use this for CDs. When applying, preferably have an entire set to show, or at least examples of said documentation. There’s so much work here that firms need all the help. Also, you could have just gone to UT-A. Great school and fairly inexpensive compared to most. Keep in mind that working while going to school is very difficult and you realistically won’t have time to do both and finish school in a reasonable time. You could work with a recruiter if you want to work now, they may be able to find a firm for you. Or you could start school and intern during the summers. Especially since you’ve got some experience. I’m also sure your current school has some resources for employment.

Colleges for architecture with a stronger math and science bass I am a junior in high schools looking at schools with a 5 year program. I have visited university of Oregon and Oklahoma state university and I noticed a major lack of classes like statics and material strength in Oregon whale osu had a lot more of the math and science related to the construction of a building. So I am wondering what other schools have those heavier courses?

Might want to make sure whatever school you choose has a strong English department, too.
Statics and material strength is most likely going to be covered in your structures classes. Most colleges do not have separate classes for those. If you want separate classes that structural engineering or architecture engineering is a degree you should look into.

I'm no NAAB expert, but I have to imagine that every accredited US program has a statics course. I do not know how you would pass the Structural portion of the ARE without it.

University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign offers a pretty robust building science curricula, particularly structures. My undergrad included 4 semesters of statics, mechanics, steel/wood design and concrete design courses, as well as dedicated semesters of lighting and HVAC, plus additional electives and seminars Several of my classmates graduated M.Arch with a structures speciality and are dual professionals - architects and structural engineers

Structures class at my uni involved some mathematics (trigonometry and moments equation) but the class mostly focused on designing and building a structural object that would undergo some kind of stress test. The focus was more on the expressiveness of the object in how it tackled the structural problem rather than actual mathematical sizing of each structural member (like an engineer would do). I would recommend an architectural engineering degree as others have mentioned and I know the University of Kansas offers one as my brother graduated with that degree. As I understand it, you'll take engineering classes as well as some studio classes.

If you really want in-depth material and structural related classes, you might consider dual architecture/engineering degrees. I had a pair of roommates who dual-majored and came out with the equivalent of a B.S in architecture and engineering in 5 and 6 years respectively. From there you can find a state that allows architecture licensure without the M.Arch.

Well, Architects and engineers have two distinct roles. If you're more concerned with the forces and physical dynamics of a building/ structure, then perhaps architecture isn't for you. Architecture requires sample knowledge in an entire host of different "sciences". It involves so much more than construction technology, and without even getting into the project management side of the profession, one has to have a basic level of competence in so many disciplines. From ergonomics to psychology and philosophy, from environmental data analysis to material compositions and their thermal dynamics, from historical and contextual research to sustainable technologies and their intergration, from the implication of aesthetic orders and design methodology to the skills required to even represent all of this. If your desire is to specialise in one particular thing, then I would not recommend architecture. The architecture plays a central role between SO many disciplines. You need to know about plumbing to talk to a plumber electricals to talk to an electrician, structures to talk to an engineer, municipal by laws to talk with local municipal authorities, money and costing to talk with the client or quantity surveyor. You have to know so much that you can never specialise. An architect is best summarised as a jack of all trades but a master of none. Communication is the architects sharpest tool.
Look at Cal Poly SLO. Architecture majors have to take about 4-5 engineering courses. They also have ArchE.
