What's the building which had the highest impact on architecture? I was thinking with a friend about this topic. We came to the conclusion it may the the Parthenon as it's the most famous greek building and may be one of the reasons why these distinct columns have been so popular in many other buildings even 2500 years later. However, were not architects and we have a very western view of the world. We would love to hear, what you think may be the building, that had worldwide the highest impact on Architecture :)

My first thought was the basilica of Saint-Denis as rebuild by Abbot Suger in 1144, because it shaped gothic architecture and was therefore very influential in its time.
anything le corbusier built, if some of my profs are to be believed

The Eiffel tower had a pretty big impact on modern architecture as it was hated when it was built, but loved shortly after.

Why can we not include some of the earliest man-made shelters? Or even a cave? Surely deciding to create your own shelter affects everything after?

Interesting question. How does one define ‘highest impact’? I’d say the typical 2 up 2 down terraced house might be the most common in the UK and might be argued to have the greatest impact on the greatest number of people here at least.

I don't think it's one building but rather a collection of buildings. With that said, I would argue ancient Rome, particularly the Forum and the Capitoline Hill.

We came to the conclusion it may the the Parthenon as it's the most famous greek building and may be one of the reasons why these distinct columns have been so popular in many other buildings even 2500 years later. However, were not architects and we have a very western view of the world. We would love to hear, what you think may be the building, that had worldwide the highest impact on Architecture :)

Vitruvius is probably the architect who's had the biggest impact on Western, and later International architecture, because his theories were the foundation of Roman architecture, and he remained relevant through the medieval period. Vitruvius wasn't really forgotten when he was rediscovered in the renaissance, although he became extremely important in the renaissance period for obvious reasons. Ever wondered why medieval churches and cathedrals always have the altar to the east? That's Vitruvius. His rules of proportions are still felt in the works of modernists like Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe.
Why can we not include some of the earliest man-made shelters? Or even a cave? Surely deciding to create your own shelter affects everything after?

The Eiffel tower had a pretty big impact on modern architecture as it was hated when it was built, but loved shortly after.
There isn't "one". The first structure ideated and built independently outside any cave or natural feature would be it, if there was.

I don't think it's one building but rather a collection of buildings. With that said, I would argue ancient Rome, particularly the Forum and the Capitoline Hill.

Since so many people are saying the pantheon I’m going to take it a step further down the ladder and say the Villa Almerico Capra or Villa La Rotunda in Venice, I’m not super familiar with the naming of the building. But really this one building is interchangeable with many others, as it is one of the many Villas designed by Andrea Palladio. While the style of the Pantheon is greatly imitated, this imitation is only possible in part because of Palladio’s “translation” of Greek and Roman traditions into a decipherable replicable language of design. Neoclassical and Palladian architecture are not one to one, but palladio’s work on the style is part of what allowed such a major revival of classical architecture, particularly in America where Thomas Jefferson was a complete Palladio simp. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palladian_villas_of_the_Veneto

For me, I thought of only one building: Belper north mill Hear me out: -Tallest building at the time that did not require buttressing because was one of the first to use iron structure. -One of the oldest buildings to use modern air distribution and ventilation. It distributed heated air through its hollow iron columns. They were dual function structure and air ducts! -One of the first buildings to use a diaphragm floor system. This allowed for large spans and nearly every single hi-rise and modern commercial building uses this system today. Just this alone makes it amongst most important. -One of the earliest buildings to introduce fireproofing into its design. Used thin iron sheets in the walls. It was designed by inventor William Strutt, a genius imo. The building was not the first to do any of these single things, but it was the first to combine them all into a singular building design.

I think the question trying to put a fine point on a broad and subjective field that at its best is context based. Most impactful is going to be historically, culturally, geographically, technologically, and personally subjective. A long list of contenders could be created and hotly debated but there is no one answer to this.

What's the building which had the highest impact on architecture? I was thinking with a friend about this topic. We came to the conclusion it may the the Parthenon as it's the most famous greek building and may be one of the reasons why these distinct columns have been so popular in many other buildings even 2500 years later. However, were not architects and we have a very western view of the world. We would love to hear, what you think may be the building, that had worldwide the highest impact on Architecture :)

The mud hut because it was the basis for everything that came after
Why can we not include some of the earliest man-made shelters? Or even a cave? Surely deciding to create your own shelter affects everything after?

How can I help my girlfriend find passion again for architecture? My girlfriend has been feeling very low on herself recently. She's a senior in undergrad and she's very negative about the work she's doing and of her own self esteem as an architect. She's still learning valuable skills and software, but her design skills have not greatly improved. I'll admit, most of her concepts and designs are practical rather than loud or overtly unique. And, while that's not bad, her designs are often average at best. On top of all that, she's struggling to get herself together for grad school applications. She's an international student and there's also a pressure that she'll have to go home, or wrestle for an unlikely OPT option. Her application deadlines are coming up and her portfolio and statements are subpar. That pressure has been killing her on the inside. I recently told her, perhaps she's losing, or had lost passion. How can I, as a partner, support or reinvigorate/help her find a deeper passion for architecture? Any answer is appreciated. Thank you r/Architecture for your help.

She's lucky to have you! There are always going to be dispiriting phases through schooling and as the stakes increase, they take a greater toll. I have a couple of suggestions, for what they're worth: - She should approach some of her professors or mentors at school about this and talk it through with them. They will likely all have seen their students go through this and can help put the experience in perspective, offer some wise counsel and suggest some ways through. It may be she needs a break, a vacation or just some breathing room. - If you know some buildings or places she loves, see if there's a way you can take her there, for a weekend or holiday break. Architects love geeking out over their favorite buildings and they're often interesting places to visit (museums, art galleries, design districts, colleges etc). - She may need help reconnecting with what drove her to join the profession. Perhaps you could take a dutiful interest in her book collection or browse the latest archi-magazines or websites together. If you have an apartment or just a room, you could decorate it together, encouraging her to exercise her design skills on a small, modest project.
Role play?

Hi! I'm not sure which country you'll are from so I'm just going to reply from an Indian perspective only. First of all, architecture drains your out. Completely out! Remind your GF that she's already in a field that demands a lot from you so the struggle she's having is normal. Another thing, there have been all kinds of Architecture students. The ones who had great designs, the ones who submitted on time, the ones who struggled or the ones who liked architecture only after graduation and practicing! And good academics doesn't mean successful architect. Tell her, her education is part 1. Her career is completely part 2. Ask her to learn as much as she can and even if she passes, that enough. The practice outside of institute is a whole new thing and her grades will be at the side. Architecture Design education never ends. It's gonna keep happening. Take one task at the time. Just go through the course at this point. The "good" design will happen. Ask her to learn the tools and structures for now. That's it.

Role play?
The reality after school is that there are more roles for strong technical architects and organized project managers than there are for architects who want to design only. I know this may not be helpful in this moment, but if it's only the design aspects that are negatively impacting her it's worth noting that passion for the many other aspects of the profession will serve her well in her career. The professors typically do not have much experience in practice.

> How can I, as a partner, support or reinvigorate/help her find a deeper passion for architecture? Focus on the the not architecture stuff like stress management diet, exercise and hobbies. Her passion for her profession is not something you will be able to influence directly. It's not like she's four and you can just put on her favorite vhs tape about construction equipment (we all have one). But what you can do is help create an environment and lifestyle that are conducive to good mental health. It sounds like your gf might be struggling with stress -- maybe even anxiety and depression given the major crossroads she is approaching. None of that has anything to do with her designs but it does frame her state of mind from which she makes assessments of herself, her work, and her future prospects. Again, you cannot directly reinvigorate her desire to do this work. But you can reinvigorate her ability to cope with stress and self-doubt. Treat root causes, not symptoms. Also watch this ted talk

She should know architecture is not only design. It’s a good skill to have in her future career to be practical. She can go towards project management and get paid more than designers. Lol

She's still learning valuable skills and software, but her design skills have not greatly improved. I'll admit, most of her concepts and designs are practical rather than loud or overtly unique. And, while that's not bad, her designs are often average at best. On top of all that, she's struggling to get herself together for grad school applications. She's an international student and there's also a pressure that she'll have to go home, or wrestle for an unlikely OPT option. Her application deadlines are coming up and her portfolio and statements are subpar. That pressure has been killing her on the inside. I recently told her, perhaps she's losing, or had lost passion. How can I, as a partner, support or reinvigorate/help her find a deeper passion for architecture? Any answer is appreciated. Thank you r/Architecture for your help.

Tour / visit and enjoy some recent projects in your area. Interaction with great spaces is often what inspired many to pursue architecture in the first place.
She should know architecture is not only design. It’s a good skill to have in her future career to be practical. She can go towards project management and get paid more than designers. Lol

What are the best tips you could give for coming Architecture students? I really want to take up architecture for college, however I don’t have experience in drawing buildings and such. I am art inclined, however Im scared that I might not have what it takes to be an architect. What tips can you give me?

Try to identify the smart, hard working, and intellectual students and befriend them quickly. A lot of Architecture is about discourse and dialogue, you'll learn a lot by mingling with right group of people.
1. Have an idea and stick to it. Professors and “judges” for your crits will to distract you from your main focus. Take their advice because they are seasoned professionals but don’t be afraid to put your all into something just because they “don’t see it”. Prove it to them. 2. Don’t compare yourself to your peers. Use them as guidance. If you are intimidated by the things they are are doing and you’re thinking “I’m not good enough to be here” because of them, then talk to them and utilize their knowledge. Your architecture peers in school are the most valuable.

Thats perfectly okay It is not necessary to know buildings n all. What is a good thing is that you are art inclined. Dont worry about whether you know everything or not. During the 5 years + of the course you will be trained to be a good architect. If you have any further questions, you can message me

What do people generally mean when they describe recently proposed or newly constructed structures of a 'classical' style to be irrelevant? Whenever I see a proposed or recently built structure of a 'classical' style, many who dislike it say that the style is "irrelevant". What does it mean for an architectural style to be irrelevant? Is it that it's not in fashion anymore, not suited for the area (to fit in)? What is 'relevance' in architecture?

Styles are generally something born out of the culture that produced them. Styles that you look at from a couple thousand years ago were generally evolutions of earlier styles, and continued to evolve after. Specifically for Greek and Roman styles, the way they were designed had a lot of relation to their time - from the way their buildings were used, to responding to the local environment, to what different decorations represented (for example, the various types of columns were used to indicate different classes of buildings, with more ornate columns being more important [generalizing]). It doesn't make sense / is irrelevant to try to copy those styles today because we are no longer the society that produced them. We use buildings very differently, our building technology is very different, our climates are far more broad than the Italian peninsula, our social cues are different, etc. So, fashion can be said to be part of it, but is only one facet of a much larger thought process.
The silly refrain is that because we now have iPhones, we can't have ornament.

[ask] Engineering student debating to go into architecture. Is there a way I can predict that I'll actually like it? I've always been interested in architecture but went into engineering since I did high school robotics at my school, was decent in math and science, had a passion for mechatronics, and as a side benefit the pay and job market is pretty good (I really don't care about those two as much although). Being in university for a few months now, I realized there is a lot of math involved and I don't mind studying for it but I am not passionate about it. I feel like I'm only interested in the surface level idea of engineering (building robots - as I did in high school, designing airplanes etc.) but not interested in the nitty-gritty things like fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, etc. I am debating on transferring to architecture but also am unsure if I'm only interested in the surface level things such as designing modern/contemporary living spaces. I don't know what architecture is really like once I study it or when actually working. I did some self projects, watched YouTube videos, read architectural blogs/magazines and even visited some studios in my city but still think I'm only scratching the surface of what this field is actually like. Are there any resources/online courses (free or paid) I can take to find out more about what architectural studies is actually like. I just want to be sure if I do decide to switch -don't want to second guess my major twice.

I would recommend finishing engineering and then getting masters in architecture. Then you can be either. That’s would be a 6 year plan. Architecture is 5-6 by itself. I wish I would have done that. I’d say calatrava is someone to look at for inspiration. engineers get paid better but have less creativity. Also, architecture is more art than engineering.
Hello, there are free online courses at Harvard school of Design. Look into some of these which should provide some more insight into helping with you future path. Please note that Architecture is also very technical in terms of understanding Mechanical, Electrical, and Structural systems. Good things happen when an Architect who understands these systems integrates them elegantly with the Architecture. This is typically know as God is in the details or sweating the details. It takes a lot of energy to make something look refined, beautiful and sublime.

Are most architecture students artists that like buildings or engineers that like buildings? I’ve been thinking about doing a masters in architecture after i complete my BS in Civil Engineering but the main turn off for me is the potential peers. I like civil engineering but what really intrigues me is the design alongside it. Spending a lifetime editing the work of others to make it up to specifications sounds like a boring job. I just feel that the gratification of designing something and having it come to fruition is what I want to spend my life doing. I just want to know what I am potentially getting into. So, are most architecture students artists that like buildings or engineers that like buildings? (Yes I know it’s not just buildings but I think you know what I mean).

I’d say this can differ a bit depending on the country/curriculum emphasis, but here in the U.S. architecture education tends to operate a bit more like art. It’s based on practice, craft, and lots of creative production. Even at times when a student is focusing more on technical subjects, they approach it like an art - seeking an elegant solution that strives for quality, intelligence and meaning as an artist would in their work. It also just depends on the person’s tendencies since there is a huge variety of topics within architecture that a person may gravitate toward and develop specialized expertise in. The person to your right may just as well be a painter while the person to your left may just as well be a structural engineer.

I just graduated from Penn State with a degree in architectural engineering that combines both the design and functionality of buildings. While it does focus more on the engineering aspect imo, it may be worth looking into similar programs that would place you with people of a similar mindset as you (engineering/problem solving) while still exposing you to the design aspects you’re looking for!

Not to deflate, but you're going to have a tough time 'designing something and having it come to fruition' as an architect. Modern architecture practice is much more about managing people and resolving others' designs than designing. To be a designer, you'll need to be both extremely talented and catch some breaks, and considering you have already done your BS in civil, your are already far behind your peers who all want to be designers. Sure, you'll be able to design all kinds of stuff in school but in practice, it's much different. Not to say you can't have a rewarding career. Your other option would be sole practitioner.

The good ones are builders with a love for space and an understanding of materials used. And a good builder will have knowledge of both design and structure. Personally I like the work of J.B. Blunk and George Nakashima.

Does anyone else hate garages on the front elevation of a house? This is so common, but the a garage in the front of a house is so dominant to the appearance of the property it makes it look like you're living in a carriage house or a garage. Horrible!

Necessary in most cases; I've utilized flush type garage doors with cladding that ties into the siding theme to mitigate this. I'm a simplistic facade with impressive interior spaces type, though. Too many architects clutter up the facade trying to showcase their design skills, and it just does nothing for me.
It’s definitely something I wish we could do more to eliminate… With small city lots you just don’t have a lot of good solutions for the size of homes (and vehicles!) that people expect these days.

Not when they’re done well. So many garages look like they aren’t part of the same design as the rest of the house.

Does anyone else hate garages on the front elevation of a house? This is so common, but the a garage in the front of a house is so dominant to the appearance of the property it makes it look like you're living in a carriage house or a garage. Horrible!

It’s definitely something I wish we could do more to eliminate… With small city lots you just don’t have a lot of good solutions for the size of homes (and vehicles!) that people expect these days.
It's sort of a pet peav of mine; I think generally having alleys is a way to solve that but no one seems to like that either.

Not when they’re done well. So many garages look like they aren’t part of the same design as the rest of the house.

[ask] does anyone else get overwhelmed by all the complexities of the profession? Codes. Laws. Materials. Design. Constructibility. Licensing. Structure. Software. Professional practice. The responsibility to get it all correct. Does anyone else ever feel overwhelmed when stopping to think about all the inner workings of the profession, the weight of getting it all correct or about how much more there is to learn after earning your B.Arch? I'm certainly feeling overwhelmed from it all and still trying to break into the profession from school. Any advice?

I wanna learn it all. I just started college. Any tips?
My advice for overwhelming work is to meditate. As you said, stop and think, is really a great solution.

Finding an architectural technologist to work with may help you
Im still in school and have felt this way at work in offices many times before. The best advice Ive gotten in this regard is that the architect is jack of all trades and master of none. The most important skill is not to know everything but to be really good at figuring everything out. Dave, the spec and compliance guy (read: dude who shouldered a lot of the dull nitty gritty you could easily get sued for) at my old firm told me that its more important to know where to find information than to actually know said information. He told me this during a particularly grueling fire protection drawing exercise with much IBC and NFPA parsing involved and it's been very consoling to me. By the same token being able to ask the right questions has been a huge theme for me in my advanced studios.

What should I do the summer after my first year of architecture school? I am a first year architecture student and recently attended my college's career fair. The few architecture firms I talked to there said they typically don't hire freshmen as interns, since they want people with revit experience, however there were a few opportunities for a job shadow. There were a lot of construction companies / contractors there that said they would consider any smart student who wants to learn about the industry. Would it be better for me to do a job shadow at an architecture firm or an internship at a construction company?

Internship at a construction company. There is plenty of time for architecture and basics will pay off in the long term.
Construction. You'd lean more about how things get built and it sounds like you'd actually get paid. The job shadow thing could be fine for like a day but don't volunteer your time for free unless it's actually like helping people in need or picking up trash or something.

Get a job on a construction site as a general laborer. You will gain great insights as to how the sausage is made.

In the summers after my classes finished I sometimes worked paving jobs, electrician jobs, plumbing jobs and I feel like I got valuable experience for later architecture profession. Getting my hands dirty and seeing things in practice for real.
