My Girlfriend is an architect. I want to learn a bit about architecture to talk to her about. Where do I start? My gf is an architect currently working as an interior designer. I just wanted to read a bit about architecture so that I can talk to her about her work. Is there any readings/books/articles to give me a faint idea about what architects/interior designers work on at a technical level?

Start with what she likes about architecture. It that architectural theory, architecture history, construction details, avant-garde design movements? Some architects are very knowledgeable on all of those, some couldn't care less about some. Once you know that, things like YouTube and podcasts are a great place to start. One thing I like to do with my fiance is watch those things on Netflix where an architect walks the show host around fancy homes and talks about them. Those are less educational and more entertaining, but it gives me the opportunity to pause it and add more on the topic, or he can ask questions. It's a fun way to give him a peek into my world.

Non-atchitects often have more interesting things to say about architecture than actual architects. Look around you, what do you see that's interesting? Weird? Wrong? I think she would like you taking notice of your environment.

This book – “101 Things I learned in Architecture School” is really fantastic. It’s a mini book with short snippets of architecty things with sketched illustrations that give insight into how architects are taught to think, and includes explanations of easy-to-understand nerdy terminology like “parti.”

You don’t need to come pre educated. Ask her what she likes about it. Ask her to show you things like some of her favourite works of architecture (in the world, or maybe in your city/town).

Honestly the best way to get conversation out of an architect is to ask why something on a building was done a certain way. We mainly enjoy going on rambles about stupid architectural details that mean literally nothing to anyone other than architects lol.

I’m an architect and my partner isn’t. I don’t expect to have discussions about technical things with him, but really appreciate his genuine interest in what I do.

Honestly the best way to get conversation out of an architect is to ask why something on a building was done a certain way. We mainly enjoy going on rambles about stupid architectural details that mean literally nothing to anyone other than architects lol.

Your non-indoctrinated mind is actually a good thing and will provide a fresh perspective to her. Your opinions as someone who uses the built environment are 100% valid. Don't be a poseur, be yourself.

You might be trying too hard, you’re better off enrolling into architecture school so you can bother her more. Instead just ask her about her day and the human experience of her process. Then she would see it as less of a challenge, and more of caring concern. What do you do for work?

This book – “101 Things I learned in Architecture School” is really fantastic. It’s a mini book with short snippets of architecty things with sketched illustrations that give insight into how architects are taught to think, and includes explanations of easy-to-understand nerdy terminology like “parti.”

Go to the library
Watch arch lectures and software tutorials on YouTube and vimeo. Read as much as you can (you can probably get some old reading lists or syllabus from members of this subreddit). Draw as much as you can and try to get experience working in construction. More than half of what you learn in school you end up googling or teaching yourself.

Possibly a controversial take, but I feel like Studies in Tectonic Culture by Kenneth Frampton is a good starting point for people serious about architecture. It’s not the easiest read, but I think it’s a good theoretical perspective on the more technical elements of architecture as opposed to loftier spatial texts.

Here’s an amazing resource to start with https://youtube.com/user/stewarthicks This guy is an arch professor in Chicago and goes really in depth about a bunch of topics in architecture. He uploads videos weekly, and the beauty is that he does a great job at making it very accessible to non arch people. I highly recommend starting with him to learn the basics and just move on from there exploring different topics that interest you from his videos.

Harvard and MIT I believe both offer free courses that allow you to obtain a certificate saying you’ve completed the courses, or at least they did a year ago. It’s a decent place to start if you’re looking for an academic-ish experience. Other than that, learn Revit and go work for an architect. You’ll learn a lot more about real world architecture this way than you will in school.

A Pattern Language: Towns, Buildings, Construction by Christopher Alexander It kind of reads like a choose your own adventure book! It explains through narrative and diagram how towns are built pros/cons, but also gets into the nitty gritty of construction. It’s one of the best architecture books I’ve ever read. The ‘About Buildings + Cities’ podcast is excellent for theory and design of various building designs. So if you can visit the building they talk about and listen to the podcast it can be very fun. They did an episode on Akira (the Manga film), which is fantastic and more economical than traveling.

Wherever you live there are beautiful buildings within an hour two drive. Google the area for architecture of note & go for a drive to see those buildings in person. Take your time, really look closely, understand how it’s built, what the intention is, how it’s composed. Draw it if you can, even if you don’t have a good hand did it. Don’t be concerned if you don’t like some of them, and really don’t worry if you like buildings other people don’t. But go see them in person.

How do I learn architecture without paying for classes? I’ve had an appreciation for architecture since I was very young and at this point I figure I might as well learn about it.

Harvard and MIT I believe both offer free courses that allow you to obtain a certificate saying you’ve completed the courses, or at least they did a year ago. It’s a decent place to start if you’re looking for an academic-ish experience. Other than that, learn Revit and go work for an architect. You’ll learn a lot more about real world architecture this way than you will in school.

A Pattern Language: Towns, Buildings, Construction by Christopher Alexander It kind of reads like a choose your own adventure book! It explains through narrative and diagram how towns are built pros/cons, but also gets into the nitty gritty of construction. It’s one of the best architecture books I’ve ever read. The ‘About Buildings + Cities’ podcast is excellent for theory and design of various building designs. So if you can visit the building they talk about and listen to the podcast it can be very fun. They did an episode on Akira (the Manga film), which is fantastic and more economical than traveling.

Wherever you live there are beautiful buildings within an hour two drive. Google the area for architecture of note & go for a drive to see those buildings in person. Take your time, really look closely, understand how it’s built, what the intention is, how it’s composed. Draw it if you can, even if you don’t have a good hand did it. Don’t be concerned if you don’t like some of them, and really don’t worry if you like buildings other people don’t. But go see them in person.

r/architecture is about to hit 500,00 sub! I'm so stoked!! Do you all think we should celebrate our sub hitting a half-million subscribers? If so how? At time of writing we are a little less that 500 subs away from that nice, round number. Since we net about 700 new sub per day, we will be there in less than 24 hours. Idk what other communities do, but maybe this is an opportunity to celebrate the sub? Either way, thanks to all of you for your on-going participation, in fun discussion threads, original art works, your questions, and spicy maymays.

A submarine competition. Vote on a sub to use and have everyone convert it into their dream mobile home. 😀
I like the competition idea but to add a little extra twist to it allow them winner to be a mod in training (MIT) and have the chance to help contribute to the forum in a bigger way. Or wait for this great idea till you hit 1mil subs.

Crowd-design a building maybe? Everyone gets one comment suggesting design decisions, and the most upvoted ones must be implemented. The resulting mess would then go through “crits,” where again, the “best” or most upvoted comments would determine which changes would be made. To keep it simple enough, it would need to be a straightforward concept starting out, like single-family residential. But every other decision, like style, size, materials, room placement, basic layout, and so on would be user-determined. The end goal would be to produce good enough drawings to have someone with skills model it to scale. Then we could all say, “here’s the house /r/architecture created” or something.

Design competition sounds so fun and a great way to engage people! I would love looking at all the submissions, exploring others projects. Off the cuff theme idea- architecture for a city of half million people. Or maybe a template of an imaginary/real location+requirements is shared. Either way, I'd be super excited for a competition!

Looking for book suggestions to learn more about architecture Hi everybody! I'm looking for book suggestions that could be focusing the historical side of it (or anything really, I feel like I don't know enough to pin point what I love about it yet) What I did have was an art history class in college years ago. But that class only touch the surface and left me wanting to know more. I'm not a student or planning on choosing this career path. This is just for my itching curiosity :)

Sounds a little bit like your looking for that first book about architecture to put you in the mood... I'd suggest The Architecture of Happiness by Alain de Botton. It's a nice fun read and gets you thinking.
How to See, George Nelson Design as Art, Bruno Munari Experiencing Architecture, Steen Eiler Rasmussen The eyes of the Hand, Juhani Pallasmaa Atmospheres & Thinking Architecture, Peter Zumthor In Praise of Shadows, Junichiro Tanizaki Why buildings stand Up & ...Down, Salvadori Cities for People, Jan Gehl ...I could go on....

You can study architectural history, works / books by contemporary architects, read about architecture in other countries, learn online eg on youtube, blogs etc. But not everything is a style, and style evolves over time so there is often overlap between styles. In that sense I don’t think there is a way to ever know ‘every style’ if you take that statement at face value.

I think you're underestimating what you're asking for. I would do some generic searches on different styles of architecture. See what time period or geographic area interests you the most and then research that particular time era. Repeat as desired. Are you a fan of International style, Renaissance, Beux arts, modernism, Gothic. Residential has a class of its own.... traditional, cape cod, modern, contemporary, Victorian, craftsman, colonial.

Start by watching youtube channels, websites, and short described summaries you may find on Pinterest to link the connections and the overtakes between styles. Then, you may read the book Modern Architecture by Kenneth Frampton, that book is a great piece to have at home. Edit: typo..

Post a bunch of pictures of buildings to this subreddit, asking, “What architectural style is this?” [Don’t come at me. This is /s]
You need a time line of architecture styles,

Best way to learn about 'every architecture style' for someone that didn't study it? I am never going to formally study architecture, but it's always been an interest of mine. What is the best way for someone with no background to learn 'Every Architecture Style (and their characteristics)'? Thanks all

You wouldn’t learn architectural styles in architecture school anyway

You can study architectural history, works / books by contemporary architects, read about architecture in other countries, learn online eg on youtube, blogs etc. But not everything is a style, and style evolves over time so there is often overlap between styles. In that sense I don’t think there is a way to ever know ‘every style’ if you take that statement at face value.

When you Googled it what info did you feel you were missing? The Wikipedia page that lists every style in chronological order and links to their own pages seemed *extremely* thorough, were you hoping for more of a book or something?
