un65kb | architecture_train | 0.95 | I’m planning on studying architecture but literally all the stories are so depressing I was looking at people's experiences with arch on YouTube and the internet in general, and more than half were on why they quit it or why you should never study it. I still really want to at least try it out though, do you guys have any positive encouraging stories on your experiences? Pleassseeee | i87c85s | i8697jb | 1,652,287,040 | 1,652,270,405 | 2 | 1 | It's the only thing I'd ever do. I mean sure I can do OTHER stuff but it will always be based in the my understanding of systems and relationships founded in what I learned through architecture. School is hard. Teachers are mean, bosses and clients too but that's the real world and it has a way of filtering people for wrong or right reasons. | If your truly passionate you should do it. Because you don't wanna be on your death bed thinking 'wish I tried architecture'. If you hate it then you can always try something else. I did that and I'm glad I tried it just wasn't for me in the long run. | 1 | 16,635 | 2 | ||

Pleassseeee | i87imei | i8620dx | 1,652,289,509 | 1,652,265,863 | 2 | 1 | It's fine to study architecture. It's a great education. Practicing it is a different matter. That's probably the problem. If you have the time resource to spend 4-5 years experimenting with new ways of thinking and problem solving, an architectural education can be very valuable to your growth as a person. But while you do that, you most certainly should intern at many different types of firms to see if the profession seems worthwhile to you. It's long hours for not enough pay. People do it because they like it. The discontent foments when you need to make money and you want to retire, but realize that you will never retire with your salary. But some people like the idea of working past their 70's, and architecture allows that. If I could go back to my high-school self, I would tell myself to study architecture in school, take non-architecture related extracurriculars, do a coding bootcamp, and get a tech job. Retire early and pursue some other creative endeavor with the rest of my life, money, and free time. I don't like working, but I guess if I'm going to work forever architecture's not so bad (for me). But that's... a pure fantasy and really irrelevant to your question. | Mt kr bhai | 1 | 23,646 | 2 | ||

I asked before in different reddits for advice but I never got as lucky as you with this post. I have talked to people also, what I got from it was: No matter what profession you choose it's going to take a lot of work and it's going to be hard. Medicine, psychology, accounting, software engineer... The thing that is different is how much you are paid for your Job. Architecture has a lot of branches and a lot of possible ways you can perform your major. Landscaping, urban planning, working for a firm, work privately for clients, you can even end up working for the movies industry creating sceneries. So if you don't like one of the paths you can try with another one. The other thing that really stuck with me was was that you're always going to have to do things you don't like, so be prepared and willing to have a bad time calculating this structure needed for a building, making the render off a project, drawing a floor plan over and over again... You don't know what you're going to like and what you won't. Please if you find any good advice let me know because I want to study architecture but I want to be as ready as possible and assurance possible that I won't regret the decision. | Its worse than you think kid | 1 | 16,501 | 2,000 | ||

And also you need to know architecture is composed of engineering and art, it’s like a interface of those two above which means you need to at least not bad at any of them or you’ll be really tired.And also, it’s art-related job so it is objective, so you may not always make you work the way you like, you need to fulfill customers’ demand.Last point, there’s thousands of architects in the world,but only a few are well-known. | 1 | 199,445 | 2 | ||

We receive a _very_ broad education ranging from physics to the arts. While you can’t do _any_ job, you do have a wider set of options than most other people. The job is tough, the construction industry is very vulnerable to the ups and downs of the economy and architects probably get squeezed the hardest when times are tough.

He and I both graduated a couple of months ago;we got our masters degree. What I will tell you is this: architecture is an extremely creative career. Marketing is creative as well. I think they both go hand in hand and your background may help you become a better architect. I've been working in the field for about 3 years now and it has been extremely rewarding. You're around creative people most of the day and even the smallest tasks allow you to be creative. What I love about architecture is the mentality you develop in school. You learn to produce more work in less time but with more quality. It's incredible. Sure there are boring days at work but if you find the right firm you can limit those days. I recently started a youtube channel (I'm still small but I feel that my content is getting better with each video I post) feel free to check it out and reach out if you have any questions! Here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxK0sV3xt3kL-RAA2VVL7-w Good luck on your journey! Edit: some schools let you enter as a "formative student" which means you have a degree in another field but want to transfer into architecture. This allows you to skip the first two years (fundamentals) which is not the ideal situation.

An arch. degree is kinda useless because it doesn't teach the skills that firms expect from a graduate and neither does it enable you to work in another field. So if you don't want to work in an architecture firm, the only thing is to either learn some other skills and build references by yourself or work at an university. | I moved into user experience design / interaction design / programming. Architecture school taught me design thinking, but the degree itself wasn't enough to prepare me for what I'm doing now. (I dabbled in the past and am self-taught.) In some ways I think I get to apply more of what I've learned in school than if I continued at a typical architecture job. You might consider getting some architecture experience and then specializing in something in architecture or moving onto being an owner's rep, working for a developer, working for a contractor, etc. Archinect has featured people with an architecture background who don't do typical architecture work: https://archinect.com/features/tag/1149/working-out-of-the-box >Needless to say I’m tired of the usual circle jerking of grad students and professors alike.

Really, anything that gets her out to experience more of life and interact more with people will be useful at her stage: travel, photography, summer job, sketching, competitive sports, etc. Generally speaking it's not all that advantageous for her to focus too early on the technical aspects of architecture. The most common route these days is to do an unrelated degree and then do a graduate degree in architecture. Some work in an architect's office (or planner's office, or construction company, or city hall in the building department) is always helpful, but if she's looking to do this early on then so long as she's okay doing admin work (reception, etc) it should be fine.

My dad got me a powerful laptop and I got into photoshop and 3D rendering that was around 13 years old, and since then I’ve been driven to learn and engage in design through my tools and equipment So my suggestion would be see if she is wants some supplies to do her very own projects.

The technical/mathy stuff can be taught/learned easily down the road (a lot of people overestimate the amount of math that architects need to know), but creativity and a good eye for design is a long term development that is best started early! Being able to develop a strong design portfolio (including many "non-technical/architecture" pieces) will go a long way for getting into schools and eventually jobs. More important than the grades in most cases (though obviously there is a standard that will still need to be met). | The best thing my dad did for me when I was in high school was introduce me to practicing architects. I met with 2 young architects in training when I was a senior in high school. I was already 99% pretty sure I was going to study architecture, but discussing the field with experienced people really solidified my decision to follow my passion. That was 14 years ago (!!). I’ve now been working at an architecture firm for 5 years and I still love it (most of the time lol). It kinda makes me sad the most upvoted comment on here is pretty negative. I’ve really enjoyed my journey to become an architect. Of course it was challenging, but that’s been part of the fun.

Schwarz slaps Pioneer Tower copies on everything. The only place where it made sense was Dickies Arena, and there it looks silly with the actual Pioneer Tower just down the street. | Frank Gehry. He is like the star of our century but his architecture screams a lot without saying anything. It has no coherence, no expression, he often doesn't care about the interiors he makes, it is tacky, a futurist kitsch and rather clumsy. Some of his works are better than others, even though most of his works are slightly different variants of the Guggenheim Bilbao. But there are other strange architects that interest me much more than him, like Zaha Hadid, Coop Himmelb(l)au, Rem Koolhaas or Bernard Tschumi. | 0 | 728 | 6.333333 | ||

The dude puts himself over everyone, but more specifically, he rules over employees as an architect by making everyone silent unless they are talking work related only. I kid you not. I was laid off because I chatted to coworkers as I worked, and I wasn't even in his "realm". I worked in graphics. I wasn't even an architect. But ol Daryl always got these stupid crazy awards that usually involved him sending applications to receive them, and all the while adding countless letters to his name. Total ass.
