y82emd | architecture_train | 0.85 | 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? | isxoh5b | isybjw0 | 1,666,186,936 | 1,666,196,465 | 8 | 17 | Might want to make sure whatever school you choose has a strong English department, too. | 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. | 0 | 9,529 | 2.125 | ||

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.

I do art on the side but it feels like I'm doing a little of both and really learning/improving on none of it. Doing both doesn't seem possible, AND doing art after graduating from this degree makes me feel like i'll lose some valuable years of possibly improving.

This time, because i've been on this idea for so long, they're slowly beginning to understand. I don't really see myself doing an architecture job for the sake of doing a job, it's always going to be about financial security.

Math and art are good but so are English, speech, and history classes. Architects tend to present their ideas a lot so it helps to be well read and know about history and how to speak in public. College will revolve around a core “studio” class where you do most of your work. Your other classes will be gen Ed’s with focus in mathematics. If you can take AP courses in high school you might be able to save time and money by not having to take those classes in college. To be successful in architecture it helps to be dedicated to the field. It tends to suck your life in and has long hours and requires a lot of schooling and post graduate testing. I recommend going into it if it’s really something you are passionate about. However, it’s a very diverse field and there are a lot of careers that your would be prepared for by having an architecture degree. | Math and art for starters I have been wanting to look into it myself.

Your experience can really vary based on where you go to school as well as what type of firmyou end up working for. Most schools focus a lot on theory and design. They teach you how to speak and understand the language of architecture as well as give you the ability to communicate ideas and the ability to express them in physical forms. When you begin working in the field of architecture is when you really learn the details of how buildings are put together and how to fully detail a building so that it will be built as intended. You also learn to work with clients and take what they say and make it a reality. You learn to review every detail of a project, oversee construction and work with engineers and contractors. However to get more specific than this carries a lot based on the type and scale of the project. Since experiences in school an within the field vary so much I would recommend looking into reaching out to a few local firms/architects for an informational interview of sorts or to see if you can job shadow for a day and ask any questions you may have. I did this in both middle and high school and it really helped me understand what architecture was all about. Also definitely visit multiple universities with accredited programs if possible. This will give you a better understanding of studio culture as well as how the program is structured and what they focus on. Also you should know that to be licensed in many placed you need a master's degree so finding a program that has one built-in can make the process easier and more streamlined. I know I stayed really general but I hope this helps! | If at all possible, try to get some kind of low level work experience in an office before committing. If I'm being perfectly honest, the profession of architecture is pretty boring. There's very little design, that all happens at the beginning of a project, the rest of the time is spent figuring out how to actually build the design, making sure it's all legal, making sure it's within the budget, making sure builders understand what they need to do. If you're looking for a creative outlet, architecture will feel limiting, but if you enjoy problem solving and management, then you might enjoy a career as an architect. | 0 | 9,938 | 1.571429 | ||

8dsdh1 | architecture_train | 0.88 | [ask] I’m a high school student considering a major in architecture. What can I expect the college classes and, further on, the career, to entail? I’m considering a major in architecture (in America, specifically the NY area), but I’m really not sure about the specifics of what the classes and the career would involve, in terms of what I would be studying exactly or working on. I am also wondering what type of classes I should be focusing on in high school in order to succeed as an architecture major. If anyone has any advice or information, I would be grateful for it. Thank you! | dxproky | dxppwpl | 1,524,278,260 | 1,524,276,179 | 7 | 3 | I just want to start by saying that I recently got my masters in architecture and have been working a firm for just under 2 years so I can speak more about my college experience than what it is like to work in the field. Your experience can really vary based on where you go to school as well as what type of firmyou end up working for. Most schools focus a lot on theory and design. They teach you how to speak and understand the language of architecture as well as give you the ability to communicate ideas and the ability to express them in physical forms. When you begin working in the field of architecture is when you really learn the details of how buildings are put together and how to fully detail a building so that it will be built as intended. You also learn to work with clients and take what they say and make it a reality. You learn to review every detail of a project, oversee construction and work with engineers and contractors. However to get more specific than this carries a lot based on the type and scale of the project. Since experiences in school an within the field vary so much I would recommend looking into reaching out to a few local firms/architects for an informational interview of sorts or to see if you can job shadow for a day and ask any questions you may have. I did this in both middle and high school and it really helped me understand what architecture was all about. Also definitely visit multiple universities with accredited programs if possible. This will give you a better understanding of studio culture as well as how the program is structured and what they focus on. Also you should know that to be licensed in many placed you need a master's degree so finding a program that has one built-in can make the process easier and more streamlined. I know I stayed really general but I hope this helps! | Math and art for starters I have been wanting to look into it myself.

The course may not be the hardest in terms of technical topics but hard because it is time consuming and requires a mix of skills and knowledge. There are so many things to account for and layers to assignments that doing them last minute will stress you out heaps. (However there will be times where you will need to sacrifice a lot to sleep for the course regardless.) Expect to to be critiqued for your work. If you haven't already, learn to take the critique and learn/grow from it, and not take it to heart. Some colleges or universities can also be more design based, whilst others include more technical aspects, so research and find one that would suit you. Areas of information you may need to brush up on or know extensively include: -The knowledge of History (the different architectural movements - why and how they came to be), English (conveying ideas well and presentation skills), Art (being able to present ideas in a visual way - eg, drawings, graphics and layouts in presentation posters), Math, Science/Geography/Biology (referring to any formulas you may need to calculate building loads, sun shading, climate and weather, ideas of sustainability, the urban and natural environment etc) You may find it helpful to find out what software people use in the course (CAD, BIM software, photoshop/indesign etc), and to learn them, so you're not stuck and having issues during assignments. Taking technical drawing classes/drafting will be very advantageous during the course and afterwards. Most graduates (well in Australia anyway) end up drafting a lot when starting out or interning at firms. Engineering and knowledge of building standards, basic construction techniques will also help you in the course. | 1 | 20,886 | 2.666667 | ||

Architect for 4 years, feel free to ask away.. I found that while in high school I didn't consider all my options thoroughly enough and I wouldn't want anyone else to go through that! Think about how important ROI is for you, how important fulfillment is, and time for other stuff. How good are you at particular subjects in high school? What is design to you? Do you want to be licensed? That's something I wouldn't even begin to think of until halfway through college. That said, there are paths within architecture that cater more towards some specific interests than others, so carefully evaluating whats important to you now or in five years will help you choose a path within architecture and outside of it. Look for BARCH programs. A BS in Architecture or a BA in architecture won't allow you to apply for licensure without then going to 3 more years of grad school. An IPAL program is being tested in some schools which will allow you to get a license while in school (although this is 6-7 yrs). If that were offered to me when I went to school, I wouldve done that. An architectural engineering program is another option. With this you can get your PE in architectural engineering very easily but if you want an architectural license you might have to jump through quite a few more hoops but it's possible. Also, most accredited architecture schools will accept you based on test scores and grades straight out of high school.

This was year 1 so we had some bizarre designs up there 🤣 | School was useless but my first internship, I had to design hostel rooms- ranging from single, double occupancy to 6 pax. And I was made to do sooo many iterations to find the best way to accommodate x number of students. I was also given a part of the plot to design the accommodation as a whole. That was really interesting and you can also encourage the students to develop a design language for the building, maybe taking inspiration from their favorites. Like the one I ended up designing was very Charles Correa- esq | 1 | 7,361 | 1.153846 | ||
q99xjk | architecture_train | 0.97 | What are some of the exercises that were given to you in architecture school to stimulate problem solving? I’m an architecture professor and I’m trying to make my students think outside the box and stimulate design thinking and problem based learning. What are some of the dynamics your architecture professors implemented when you were still in school? | hgvg3o2 | hgw9s7l | 1,634,400,412 | 1,634,413,189 | 6 | 7 | we were given a very limited palette of materials to use designing a play structure, but really it could have been any building or structure. Great exercise | We were given a one day sketch problem to design a ten dollar bill. Of course we all came back with modernist solutions: like a big fat helvetica 10 on a white field. The professor called us all idiots. It’s money you fools, he said. It’s supposed to be hard to copy! It HAS to be complicated. The same guy gave us four hour sketch problems every day. Best design studio I ever had. | 0 | 12,777 | 1.166667 | ||
