One of my professors wrote his thesis on the link between architecture and music and that thesis is still celebrated and discussed today. | Such a great topic. Many good ones have been listed, so I'll come in late and add Alexandria's Lange's "Writing on Architecture" which cities quite a few critics and how they described/disseminated buildings, spaces ,and how they were perceived. It doesn't go much into straight psychology however it really helps in understanding how people who write about the built spaces effectively communicated their ideas, which when doing research comprised of reading the writings of others, may be helpful. Past criticism is parsed so you can are also exposed to different styles of how people are reading and responding to places. Granted these are mostly critics, but many, like Jane Jacobs, do a fantastic job of understanding and relaying human experience in a built environment. It is also a very easy read. | 0 | 21,881 | 1.5 | ||

igh3vz | architecture_train | 0.89 | Architects, do you have any regrets about studying/working in Architecture? There have been a lot of videos, forums, or articles that are discouraging people from pursuing architecture, I get that it’s highly competitive and the amount of work/effort you put into it doesn’t result in large pay. But work is work, a majority of it isn’t supposed to be fun in the first place. Did you learn any valuable lesson from being in the industry? How did it affect your work ethic? Any positives about the job? I’m just very curious as to how accurate these sources were, because they made it sound like it’s the worst major/job to have. | g2trx76 | g2u8r5k | 1,598,379,543 | 1,598,387,596 | 6 | 7 | As a current architect with my undergrad and grad degrees in architecture (recent grad) as well as currently working in an architecture firm, yes. Lesson from the industry everything they teach in school is the "fun" side of architecture everything you do on the job is totally different (mainly technical drawing). My work ethic was shit before architecture now it isn't any better. I just realize that i have to do things or i don't get paid... Positives about the job is generally everyone is passionate about buildings and design so you always have a nice conversation starter as there are always new buildings going up. Pay is shit and hours are long (as in they basically pay you close to minimum wage and expect you to work 45+ hour weeks) but if you enjoy the inner workings of buildings and don't mind spending all day in front of the computer than welcome to architecture! | You’re still young, so do your future self a favor and start learning programming languages.

Plus, you will have an easier escape if you ever decide to quit the profession. | 0 | 8,053 | 1.166667 | ||

As far as jobs I can see myself enjoying, Architecture pays the best. >How did it affect your work ethic? I don't think your job affects your work ethic, I think your work ethic affects your job. Work ethic is honestly something I do struggle with (as I write this comment on reddit during the work day...). My therapist thinks I likely have a mild case of ADHD, and I plan on talking to a psychiatrist about it eventually to see if I should get diagnosed and some meds to help me. I have terrible work ethic a lot of the time. Ironically, one of the things that helps me the most is that architecture can be very high pressure and busy. It's bad because it leads me to a lot of stress and depression to deal with, but it also forces me to focus because oh my god this is due tomorrow and I have so much to do. It can be a bad thing too that I end up working a lot of hours (especially since i've been working from home - more distractions and it's harder to shut off the work day). Apart from all that, as I've grown as a person my work ethic has gotten a bit better over time as well, but not necessarily *because* of architecture. >Any positives about the job? Tons, IMO. It's an office job, which is generally dependable and comfortable. We get to use cool proprietary software. While an office job, we're not locked into *just* staring at a screen all the time, because we get to/have to go visit buildings all the time. We get to meet tons of new people/clients all the time (which can be good or bad). We get to see our work come to life in the real world and be used and impact peoples' lives. There is an opportunity to explore and grow artistically throughout your life. And there is *always* something new to learn. I've had more boring jobs that are easy before, and I always get bored after like 6 months when I have all the skills I need locked down and it just becomes repetitive. With architecture, you build up a skill set in your first decade, but always there are new things and new rules to learn, new strategies to implement, new technologies to study, etc. It's definitely not for everyone. A lot of the work can be very boring - especially right out of college when you still don't know enough to be super useful. Reading building code is not fun. Working the same detail over and over for a month can suck. There's a lot that we have to do because it's required, and doing it helps keep everyone safe, but it's repetitive and not artsy and whatever. But it all ties together for producing the building at the end of the day. And a lot of jobs are ONLY ever boring repetition, spreadsheets, forms, etc. At least our desk jobs are broken up with occasional fun design stuff, interesting discussions, and time outside the office. | 1 | 7,778 | 1.4 | ||
ziu32o | architecture_train | 0.82 | Roast my portfolio, please Hey guys just a little backstory, I have been searching for an architecture job in Norway. I don't speak Norwegian yet and have a bachelor's degree in architecture ( planning on pursuing a master's soon ). I have sent to maybe 20 companies and didn't get a single interview. So I am just wondering if it is the portfolio fault or it is the fact that I don't speak Norwegian. Might be both. I am interested in learning the language, but I want to do it on the spot ( In Norway). Also, I am going to start learning it on Duolingo right now. Anyways would love to hear your opinion. I masked everything personal and left only the projects. Here is the link https://issuu.com/harambe96/docs/portfolio\_blurred | izsmsns | izsigsy | 1,670,772,944 | 1,670,771,013 | 7 | 6 | I think it's the language your problem, the Portfolio is fine. My only concern in the Portfolio is the order of the project, I find some of the latter project more captivating than the first 2 (but I still think the language barrier is the problem). | Designs are fine, get someone to edit your language. Nothing specific, just some small tweaks will help. Also, reformat the layout to avoid blank pages. Blank pages make it look like you either didn't think the layout through or are trying to pad.

So I am just wondering if it is the portfolio fault or it is the fact that I don't speak Norwegian. Might be both. I am interested in learning the language, but I want to do it on the spot ( In Norway). Also, I am going to start learning it on Duolingo right now. Anyways would love to hear your opinion. I masked everything personal and left only the projects. Here is the link https://issuu.com/harambe96/docs/portfolio\_blurred | izt7aoh | iztlh77 | 1,670,781,469 | 1,670,786,868 | 1 | 2 | I think your overall graphic presentation is strong, but also echo the concerns about some of the blank pages. A few annotations or subtitles on pages 17,21,24-25 for example would go a long way. | It's very nice. I noticed your spelled "restoration" as "restauration" on one of the pages. That looks really bad, not gonna lie. | 0 | 5,399 | 2 | ||

z6h6c5 | architecture_train | 0.94 | Please disabuse my career change inkling...Architecture degree in your late 30's? Hey All, quick background: I'm a 37 year old product designer with a BS in Industrial Design. I've been working in soft goods/apparel my entire career and I think having a crisis of identity and purpose at the moment. I've always loved Architecture and have been a casual observer/learner of the field for years. In recent years (the past two or so) I've been taking in a large amount of information around net-zero, passive, green, etc Architecture and have become mildly obsessed with a potential missed career opportunity. Perhaps it's my maturation and desire to have a greater impact on the world (a long-lasting, net-beneficial object such as a house vs a piece of clothing that is largely disposable in our modern society), or just a natural winding-down of this chapter of my professional career that has me seeking something new. I understand the career trajectory of an Architect is more rigid and regimented than say my career path as a product designer (understandably) which is my primary hesitation to go much further than a mild obsession/hobby to the next step of actually going through a BS in Architecture and effectively restarting my career at a lower paying, inexperienced place. I guess what I'm asking of this large hive-mind is: it's a terrible idea to pursue a degree/career shift into Architecture at my age, right? Of course money isn't everything, but seems an imprudent and difficult row to hoe at my age. Thanks in advance for your thoughts! Cheers Ryan | iy1ihui | iy1kyva | 1,669,597,343 | 1,669,598,542 | 62 | 82 | Architect is a very romanticized profession and you’d face a very long, expensive road that may leave you feeling just as unfulfilled. The schooling is no joke, but then you have another 10+ years of working your butt off before you start to really feel like you know what you’re doing. I would not make this choice lightly. | I am 34 and in my 3rd year of a BArch degree. It’s exhausting. It is way more work than you expect. Even if you expect a lot. There is something about architecture school. No matter how smart or talented you are, you will be busy. There is no good enough or meeting expectations. Nothing you do is ever as good as it could be. That being said, it is rewarding. The moments of success and positive discovery or incredibly compelling and help push you to develop and improve. You definitely get back what you put into it. It’s a hard choice but I don’t regret it at all. Until the night before final review. | 0 | 1,199 | 1.322581 | ||

Rather than pursuing Architecture right from the beginning which is a bachelors, pursue a Masters degree course which leans towards Architecture. This in my opinion will be more useful because you will be looked upon as a graphic designer + architectural designer with years of experience rather than the former where you'll have to start back up again. I'm sure you'll find your way. Good Luck! | 1 | 1,556 | 1.490909 | ||

You might choose to get more passively involved. I doubt there is a person that doesn't feel like their schooling was in some part a waste of time. Assuming you are talented with a pencil and or programs I'd bet you could find someone that'd take you on. | 1 | 12 | 13.666667 | ||

I've been doing high end corporate/commercial Interior design for a decade and a half and you deal with all of the sustainability and wellness issues you mention while being able to affect it at a more human level (coincidentally closer to the scale you are used to working at). Degrees in interior design are easier to obtain, it's less of a good old boy club, and the work is faster paced. The young architects in our office often ask to work with us because they find our work more interesting than flashing details.

z6h6c5 | architecture_train | 0.94 | Please disabuse my career change inkling...Architecture degree in your late 30's? Hey All, quick background: I'm a 37 year old product designer with a BS in Industrial Design. I've been working in soft goods/apparel my entire career and I think having a crisis of identity and purpose at the moment. I've always loved Architecture and have been a casual observer/learner of the field for years. In recent years (the past two or so) I've been taking in a large amount of information around net-zero, passive, green, etc Architecture and have become mildly obsessed with a potential missed career opportunity. Perhaps it's my maturation and desire to have a greater impact on the world (a long-lasting, net-beneficial object such as a house vs a piece of clothing that is largely disposable in our modern society), or just a natural winding-down of this chapter of my professional career that has me seeking something new. I understand the career trajectory of an Architect is more rigid and regimented than say my career path as a product designer (understandably) which is my primary hesitation to go much further than a mild obsession/hobby to the next step of actually going through a BS in Architecture and effectively restarting my career at a lower paying, inexperienced place. I guess what I'm asking of this large hive-mind is: it's a terrible idea to pursue a degree/career shift into Architecture at my age, right? Of course money isn't everything, but seems an imprudent and difficult row to hoe at my age. Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

Speaking for myself, I think I would end up regretting the decision. You might choose to get more passively involved. I doubt there is a person that doesn't feel like their schooling was in some part a waste of time. Assuming you are talented with a pencil and or programs I'd bet you could find someone that'd take you on. | 100% will regret unless you are crazy passionate about design and don't mind having very little design input for a decade | 0 | 532 | 6 | ||

I think if you have that passion, you should chase it. Life is short. To be fair money will be a problem. You will probably have to do a Master’s of architecture degree. Most schools don’t allow part time, so you will have to find a way to fund studying. Architecture is also notorious for under paying people in the field. As an intern architect, getting your hours towards getting licensed, you will be severely under paid. If you can handle a huge pay cut, then definitely pursue it. | 1 | 3,621 | 7.2 | ||

So you wouldn’t necessarily start at ground zero.
