ytr1cf | architecture_train | 0.87 | Tips on gift for architecture student? My husband’s doing his masters in architecture right now and loves it. He works very hard and I was hoping to get some tips.

8eumc8 | architecture_train | 0.81 | [ask] How much did you make your first year out of school. What was the firm like and what area was it in. I'm approaching a year (May) since I graduated and started my first job in the field. I'm currently making $18/hr at a small firm in a small town in Northeast Ohio. I'm living with my parents in order to both bolster my savings and pay off as much of my student loan as I can. My current plan is to ride the office out until I finish my exams and then move to either the Pittsburgh or Columbus area.

83d3nl | architecture_train | 0.88 | Where did you get your architecture degree, what were the main foci of your program, and would you recommend it? [Ask] I'm especially interested in M. Arch programs, but would be happy to hear from anyone/everyone. Did your program focus on theory? Lean more towards practice/structure? Work on aesthetic development? Also, did that approach work for you? Did you like it? Thanks in advance! | dvhip3b | dvhicre | 1,520,699,111 | 1,520,698,710 | 5 | 2 | I'm nearly done with undergrad at the University of Oregon, which has been an experience intensely focused on contextual response and sustainability. Also, the bachelor degree here is accredited, so an M.arch is optional. Not a month goes by without seeing a professor whose class I've taken pop up in a design magazine or with an op ed in the NY times or as a newly published author. I adore it here! | I did Architectural Engineering which equates to architecture and civil engineering. It went from urbanism and conceptual design all the way to energy optimisation and structural analysis. Looking back, it was challenging but I quickly became a referral anywhere I worked at. Currently, just launched a hardware startup and have no problem finding the balance between design and pragmatic engineering. | 1 | 401 | 2.5 | ||
n2spcf | architecture_train | 0.83 | Upcoming Interview for an Internship at a firm! Hi! I am a senior in high school and have taken an interest in architecture. I’m extremely green to the world of design, but I have designed new rooms and outdoor spaces for many family members and I was extremely pleased with my work. That being said, I just committed to UIUC and have an interview tomorrow for a potential internship at a firm in Ohio! I understand this is an extremely rare opportunity, and I would love to be able to “wow” the owners. What kind of questions have you been asked at these types of interviews? What questions would you ask them? What qualities would you look for in an intern? Any other ideas anyone on this community could come up with would be extremely helpful! I’ve done research on the basic questions and looked up a few general architect-specific interview questions as well, and I just thought of using Reddit! Thank you in advance! | gwlx3py | gwlgrjd | 1,619,917,290 | 1,619,908,368 | 4 | 1 | You're not going to wow them. You're a high school student who doesn't know anything. They don't expect you to know anything. Just be enthusiastic about learning and soak it all in. Be a team player, ask questions, and learn. | For me, I usually ask them about how the work environment is, what can they expect from an intern and what I can learn from this internship. I think that as an intern, you don’t have to know all about architecture, but have to show them that you are eager to learn and progress. Before I apply in some firms, I take a good look at the firm so that I understand their projects, their values in order to project myself clearly. | 1 | 8,922 | 4 | ||

You can mention about your projects for family. As others have mentioned, showing enthusiasm and willingness to learn will be most important. As an intern, you will likely encounter mundane tasks. If you keep a positive attitude and ask good questions, that's already part of standing out.

qge3na | architecture_train | 0.89 | Advice on asking about salary during job interviews I am a recent graduate with a masters in Architecture. I am looking for jobs in the DMV area and wondering what an appropriate salary would be here to ask for. I am trying not to devalue my worth, and want to ask for the best salary I can get.

I would add that while we try to provide you the best service we can, you are probably not our only client and would ask that you respect our time as we respect yours. Additionally, Designing a house is somewhat like buying a house... you start out with the wish list, must-haves, what you're willing to compromise on... you also know how much you can spend while also living comfortably, while Architects are amazing and do incredible work to meet those demands, we aren't magicians or fortune tellers. I would advise you that if your budget is a $500,000 home, design a home for $450,000 as there will be unforeseen issues; whether it be in the procurement of the land, development of the land, working with the town/city, sewer/gas/utility connection... don't max yourselves out on the home and struggle to come up with funds for those unanticipated things. Good Luck with your design, I would also have advised to select a local architect familiar with your area, but it seems that ship has sailed. | Don't come up with last minute ideas. | 1 | 1,684 | 2 | ||

Any project’s design design itself is a matter of personal style, Owner preferences, the specific requirements of the specific project at hand, construction materials and availability, skills of contractors and project budget. | From my work experience, it is mainly this: most people don't actually know how to design or have any idea about design. But the easiest point to enter a conversation about design is how something looks, hence the idea of style. As we know, architecture is beyond just the visuals. It encompasses the history of the location, the climate and conditions, the material, space and even the economical cost of it. However it would not be possible for the laypeople to be aware of these aspects of the conversation, so it makes sense to use the visual style as an indicator. The problem comes when there is an attempt to make it sound special, which IMO has come about most recently thanks to social media, from a mishmash of random vocabulary thrown together to explain things. Industrial brutalist Mediterranean - all because you see some exposed pipes and concrete with textured plaster walls in the background, or the one I absolutely despise, Minimalist Japandi, all because everything is light wood - and ikea does that too! So I guess let's just pull in the Swedes for a little bit of exoticism - and there are fluted panels but nothing at all minimalist. Change the wood to dark and suddenly it becomes modern. It's a tough battle really, a deep conversation on the historical and economical costs that led to a development of a certain way of building, hence a distinctive look vs a quick way to describe a building in the most exotic and unique way possible, it's always pretty clear which one will come out first. Maybe one day some architecture or design historian will write a paper about this, call it I dunno, commercialist? | 1 | 19,653 | 1.333333 | ||

bfwfm0 | architecture_train | 0.9 | [ask]Almost every building, wall and structure in Jerusalem from ancient to modern times is made from local dolomitic limestone called Jerusalem stone. Are there any other cities with such architectural uniformity? Nice examples of what I’m talking about here and here. I cannot say that I have been to a city with as much uniformity, maybe Paris with it’s Hausmannian buildings but there still seems to be a lot of diversity among the building materials and types of buildings especially off of the main boulevards. The reason for the uninformity is that it’s the law that every building in Jerusalem be faced with local limestone, the modern law dates back to the British Mandate but it has been a tradition for thousands of years since it was a way for the city to demonstrate it’s wealth, as limestone was a valued commodity in ancient times and most cities had to pay a lot of money to import it. | elhme0r | eli1380 | 1,555,934,710 | 1,555,947,448 | 1 | 3 | Bath stone, Bath UK Indiana Limestone, Indiana US Parian Marble, Paros Greece Etc... | Not to this extreme but in Scotland, Aberdeen is the granite city and Edinburgh and Glasgow are well known for yellow and pink sandstone respectively. This is the local stone type and as such the majority of buildings from the 18th and 19th centuries are built in it. Even modern builds have a stone cladding to get through planning. I would imagine a lot of places to be vernacular heavy but I think Scotland is interesting for its diversity over a fairly small geography. Not quite what you’re looking for but an interesting bit of trivia nonetheless. | 0 | 12,738 | 3 | ||

In a lot of the United States and Canada, the vast majority of buildings were built, and still mostly are, with wood framing. Balloon framing evolved into platform framing but they're the same in spirit. But for different wood buildings there might have been different cladding styles, and there were also structural brick buildings (especially for industrial buildings) and later concrete and steel buildings. In Okinawa, Japan they have a regional traditional way of building houses that seems very uniform, but that's really only done in historic areas, most buildings are just normal buildings. Search YouTube for "The Mark of Beauty - Okinawan Houses". Actually across all of Japan it seems like buildings were pretty typologically and materially consistent, except for regional variation. Bricks in general used to be regional, especially common brick, because the clays local to each city might make different colored bricks. So Milwaukee, US, is "cream city" because that brick color was the most available. | 0 | 27,187 | 2 | ||

I also believe that for a city of its size and magnitude…it lacks many well designed buildings…the Disney Concert Hall being an exception. But I feel the buildings in downtown LA all just exist by themselves….and don’t work together with others. There is no focal point…no pedestrian green spaces/parks. Unlike a Chicago, NYC, Miami, Seattle…I don’t want to spend much time in downtown LA…it’s not very photogenic at any distance….and it’s buildings are not very inspirational. | 0 | 1,169 | 4 | ||

dhkqzi | architecture_train | 0.86 | ask]Is architectural education as f*cked as so many people seem to say it is? There seems to be a feeling among architecture students I have talked to in person, [online forums, various articles and reddit comments, that architectural education is very lacking, overly academic, or at least not relevant to the real world. Is this accurate or just the bias of some people or the internet? | f3rahsp | f45usrw | 1,571,086,085 | 1,571,396,380 | 2 | 3 | If the profession cared about the disconnect they should lobby NCARB to remove degree requirements across the country and increase IDP hours. Currently the delta is absurd, 14 years of work experience in Maryland for example. Architecture education should not become a apprentice program for architects until higher education in the US is free. That's the issue with the current system. That people who want to become architects are essentially forced into higher education to meet licensure requirements. School taught me the skills I needed to know in order to be a successful professional. They didn't teach me what the day-day would be like in an architecture office. That said, I don't see an issue with that distinction. | Honestly I felt bamboozled after architecture school. The profession is nothing like how they portray it. | 0 | 310,295 | 1.5 | ||
8ftx51 | architecture_train | 1 | [ask] Around the 50s or 60s there was a small movement in architecture to better integrate garages into the rest of the house, I remember reading about it a couple years back but now I can't seem to find anything about it. The main characteristic is they were sort of open plan, there were no divisory walls between the garage and the living room, but there was usually a change in elevation or some planters to separate one from the other. I remember a catchy term like "garage of the future" or "tomorrows garage" but plugging those into google hasn't returned anything useful, neither did "open plan garage", "50s garage" or any mashup of those.

We worked with an architect that we liked very much and he designed us a house that was way way way outside our budget to build, we worked with him again on a revised design and got a builder (who is also a trained architect who went the build route after college) on board early on. As things progressed it became clear that the second design was also not within our budget (this was the very best spot on the land and we weren't willing to cut any corners). We ended up needing to scrap that house too til we can afford to build it. We went back to square one and are using another site to build our "guest house" (we will love there for several years til/if we build the dream house) which we had the builder only design for us. There are still cost overruns, but they're more expected and the house has been designed to make construction simpler/less costly while still meeting our goals. | 0 | 2,955 | 2 | ||
