snj535 | architecture_train | 0.96 | What does it mean when an architect uses the word "poetic" to describe the form of a building?

In my experience architects are just terrible verbal communicators, often using a lot of imprecise and ambiguous language to convey meanings that may be clear to them but not as apparent to others. "Poetic" as a word literally means *relating to or used in poetry*. What the hell does that mean in the context of a building? That's like if I looked at a waterfall and called it "biblical." I might be thinking "it's massive—the sheer volume of water rushing down its precipice calls to mind the parting of the Red Sea. Its massive presence evokes an idea about God's largesse and omnipotence."

Looking at the poetics of space by Gaston Blanchard and shamelessly copying from Wikipedia “Bachelard applies the method of phenomenology to architecture, basing his analysis not on purported origins […] but on lived experience in architectural places and their contexts in nature. He focuses especially on the personal, emotional response to buildings both in life and in literary works, both in prose and in poetry. He is thus led to consider spatial types such as the attic, the cellar, drawers and the like. Bachelard implicitly urges architects to base their work on the experiences it will engender rather than on abstract rationales that may or may not affect viewers and users of architecture.” Now to write myself the cellar and attic or cave and bower as I know it refers to two different places that have differing spatial, sensual and environmental impacts upon a patron. The bower may be a lookout or Belvedere made of lightweight tectonic material and convey a sense of airyness, and freshness. You are up high amongst the trees and can touch the sky. Conversely the cave would be made of stereotomic material e.g brick, concrete etc. and articulates a wholly different feeling, one of retreat and refuge.

I ended up building custom PC’s and got the job because the owner of the company had a fetish for degrees. He was happy to have anyone with a masters do entry level work. My skills from architecture school helped me greatly in identifying areas where I could provide more design and drafting services that the company had been outsourcing. Fairly quickly I ended up doing product design, development, and prototyping. More force of will coupled with a odd business than actual knowledge. I figured I didn’t have much to lose so just said I could do anything lol. While it worked for me it wasn’t a path that was predictable or something I could count on experience transferring to another job. I sort of stumbled in while making the best of a bad situation and leveraging other skills and interests I had. I would not rely on an architecture degree to open doors beyond what having a degree in any other that people would see as valuable but not applicable. However, the skills you learn are very valuable.

My favorite style is arts and crafts, one of my favorite things is just this door in Thorsen House by Greene and Greene. One of the great thing about this architecture style is how each part is guided by a single designer who works with everyone else in order to create a design where everything works together from the furniture to the doors to the doorknobs.

Love it. Edit: door I was talking about is in the Gamble House by Greene and Greene but the Thorsen house is also really good. | 1 | 115,444 | 1.5 | ||
c16l3q | architecture_train | 1 | [Ask] Art Nouveau vs Art Deco: which do you prefer? Hi r/architecture! I’m an amateur lover of architecture and these have long been two of my favourite styles. I thought an interesting way to find out more about them and to share knowledge would be to ask what others prefer or dislike about each. So: 1. Which do you prefer and why? and 2. What is your favourite architectural style and why? | ereixae | ercjtu8 | 1,560,785,259 | 1,560,714,094 | 3 | 2 | 1. Art Deco : Geometric shapes is mathematics, and thus it is perfect. It feels grandiose and reflects the 20s perfectly. 2. I'm a big fan of Moorish architecture. | 1. I guess overall Art Deco. Tho I really like simpler art nouveau structures like the Paris metro entrances, many full on art nouveau buildings feel kinda overbearing and are a bit too much for my taste. 2. It’s not really a specific style, but I prefer buildings that have a kind of lively simplicity to them. Can be anything from Alvar Aalto to traditional Scandinavian wooden houses. Currently my absolute favourite is Lacaton & Vassals blend of cheap materials, light, air and working with what’s already there instead of demolishing. Like this amazing upgrade of an old modernist block in Bourdeaux | 1 | 71,165 | 1.5 | ||

I am not planning to do MArch as I don't think I will be able to bear architecture school anymore.

The only thing I will have after I complete this course is a degree and my knowledge and passion for event management and marketing.

limvpd | architecture_train | 1 | Studying architecture at 24 years old. Hi r/Architecture, Next september, I will be starting an Architecture degree, and I will be aged 24 years old. I already have a bachelor degree in Marketing, but I hated everything about it, but still managed to finish it because I did not wanted to quit. From where I’m from (Europe), most people start architecture right out of high school, so I will be older than most people. Also, considering that I will need at least a master degree, i will be entering the workforce around 29 or 30 years old, which is very old to start a career. Dear architects, how older graduates are perceived ? Am I gonna have trouble finding a job at the end of my degree ? Am I making a big mistake starting this late ? | gn47hgo | gn44vhg | 1,613,173,432 | 1,613,172,059 | 5 | 3 | Started at 24 also, definitely not too old. You can practice architecture until very very late in your life. | What the other comment said! ^^^ I had no idea what I wanted to do for the longest time, and decided architecture at 21. Which is still young, just like 24! For me I was able to enter with more life experience, and my studios were a little easier in that regard. But everyone is different. One of my classmates is in her 30’s now and sometimes I feel envious because she’s by far top of the class. We’re all on our own pace, and if you’re happy with what you love - you’re on the right track ;) | 1 | 1,373 | 1.666667 | ||

Let's dispel something you're being told and discuss your child's options. >M.Arch is required (most paths anyway) to be a licensed architect in US/ Canada. > >A B.Arch is also acceptable, but I believe (it’s been 20 years since I looked) most programs in NA are B. Science in Architecture and require an M.Arch. Absolutely not. An Master of Architecture is never and has never been a requirement for licensure in any jurisdiction. The large majority of US programs offer both a 5yr B.Arch bachelors and a 2yr M.Arch masters for those with a different undergrad degree. >What is required is a 5 year professional B.Arch. from an accredited program. The accreditation board I believe is still called NAAB. This is correct. You can find a list of all NAAB accredited schools here: https://www.naab.org/accredited-programs/school-search/ *Any program that offers a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science in architecture as the terminal degree is not NAAB-accredited and cannot be used to qualify for the licensing exam.* Without a NAAB accredited degree you will not be eligible to take part in the AXP internship period or sit for the ARE exams, **except** for some very specific and difficult alternative licensure paths that are meant to help those that did not have this information up front or came from outside the United States. Your options for a valid accredited degree are * a 5 year Bachelors of Architecture, * a 4+1 Masters of Architecture Program where you earn a BS and an M.Arch degree over 5 years (going the way of the dodo in exchange for IPAL below at many schools), * a classic 4+2 where you earn both the Masters and Bachelors of Architecture separate (often done at separate schools), * a 5 or 6 year IPAL program that graduates them with a bachelors or masters, finished the internship and ready to sit for the exams (this is experimental and only at a few schools currently). Less than 400 persons have successfully completed this from start to finish and the attrition rate is not insignificant. For those with drive and/or a sever ritalin addiction, this is the fastest way one could be licensed. Almost all of us are happy to answer questions. Dispensing with hyperbole, most architects will readily attest that our profession is like doctors and lawyers. Difficult schooling with long after-class hours that is not in line with the classic American idea of college life, an underpaid and overworked internship period, and a high attrition rate through it all. I love what I do and took a long road to get here, but I wont sugar coat it. It is hard but worthwhile if you have a passion for it. | I went to the UO architecture school and got my B. Arch and I just got licensed last year four years after graduating. Great program and a B. Arch is just fine for the path to licensure. The only real benefits I see for an M. Arch degree is if someone wants to pursue architecture that received their bachelor's in a different major or if you eventually want to teach. Best of luck to your kiddo on their new journey :) | 1 | 2,634 | 1.333333 | ||

A Masters of Architecture, as far as I know, is not required in the US to be licensed. What is required is a 5 year professional B.Arch. from an accredited program. The accreditation board I believe is still called NAAB. The Masters route is typically for those with bachelor's degrees from a non accredited or 4 year architecture program, or for individuals with "similar degrees" that want to become Architects. ( engineers, industrial designers, etc). It's my opinion and experience with coworkers and employees with both degree tracks is the 5 year program is a better route for preparation for practice. Licensure is very state specific. If you are not already aware, check out www.NCARB.org. it has nearly every bit of information you would need to make informed decisions.

Your options for a valid accredited degree are * a 5 year Bachelors of Architecture, * a 4+1 Masters of Architecture Program where you earn a BS and an M.Arch degree over 5 years (going the way of the dodo in exchange for IPAL below at many schools), * a classic 4+2 where you earn both the Masters and Bachelors of Architecture separate (often done at separate schools), * a 5 or 6 year IPAL program that graduates them with a bachelors or masters, finished the internship and ready to sit for the exams (this is experimental and only at a few schools currently). Less than 400 persons have successfully completed this from start to finish and the attrition rate is not insignificant. For those with drive and/or a sever ritalin addiction, this is the fastest way one could be licensed. Almost all of us are happy to answer questions. Dispensing with hyperbole, most architects will readily attest that our profession is like doctors and lawyers. Difficult schooling with long after-class hours that is not in line with the classic American idea of college life, an underpaid and overworked internship period, and a high attrition rate through it all. I love what I do and took a long road to get here, but I wont sugar coat it. It is hard but worthwhile if you have a passion for it. | 0 | 2,067 | 4 | ||
tf3sv9 | architecture_train | 0.75 | is a M.Arch a necessity? we're currently touring schools and weighing options, how necessary is a Masters, or can one get by with an accredited B.Arch? The kiddo doesn't want to teach, he wants to solve home scarcity in urban communities. Thank you from a mom who is doing her homework. We've toured: University of Oregon University of Chicago Illinois Illinois institute of technology | i0tjcw4 | i0trt7z | 1,647,389,056 | 1,647,392,765 | 0 | 4 | No. But also yes, probably. M.Arch is required (most paths anyway) to be a licensed architect in US/ Canada. A B.Arch is also acceptable, but I believe (it’s been 20 years since I looked) most programs in NA are B. Science in Architecture and require an M.Arch. There are a lot more paths one can take w/ a BSA, such as urban planning - maybe they find that more interesting as they advance in their studies. Then there’s the question of does one really need to be licensed? That’s hard/ impossible to tell at this point in your child’s life. FWIW I work in OR we have a lot of UofO students come through our office. Seems to be a good education. | HI, I'm a licensed architect and a committee member at NCARB, architectures licensing body in the United States. Let's dispel something you're being told and discuss your child's options. >M.Arch is required (most paths anyway) to be a licensed architect in US/ Canada. > >A B.Arch is also acceptable, but I believe (it’s been 20 years since I looked) most programs in NA are B. Science in Architecture and require an M.Arch. Absolutely not. An Master of Architecture is never and has never been a requirement for licensure in any jurisdiction. The large majority of US programs offer both a 5yr B.Arch bachelors and a 2yr M.Arch masters for those with a different undergrad degree. >What is required is a 5 year professional B.Arch. from an accredited program.
