p3ccje | architecture_train | 0.89 | Thinking of quitting architecture school… help I just finished freshman year of the major and I have to say that it really left a scar on me. Ever since junior high I’ve always imagined myself sketching, or simply copying a building. Lots of external forces came into play such as being the drafting teacher’s pet, or like being signed up for architecture competitions when I was in her class in high school. I just knew that I wanted architecture… It was my dream profession. After a year in its course though, I feel like switching majors to civil. The long hours of work just kills me inside and it’s not helping that we’re on an online class setup. I see friends on the engineering courses and notice that they have their time on their own hands. It was going fine for the first half of it but after a design plate it jus left me completely shattered. The iterative design process was brutal in my opinion. I’m just really the type of person to just submit and get on with the next. Just thinking of going in for another year in the course, having to submit an nth revision for my would be design prof, just makes me sick in the stomach. I feel like i’m starting to lose passion. Anyways, is it just me being burnt out or am I just not fit for this course? Will I ever learn to love it? | h8qto2r | h8qnfgw | 1,628,827,740 | 1,628,824,350 | 8 | 3 | I have 2 points for you: 1. You should go and think about it and ask yourself if you really see yourself being this miserable in practice one day. Because real life, and even the later stages of the degree, are somewhat different from first year. Architecture is like training for a sport: they’ll teach you the text book way at university, but over time you’ll learn what works for you personally and what doesn’t - and that is when it becomes a bit easier, a bit more natural. 2. If you are in fact convinced that you’re not going to enjoy this career, you should switch courses ASAP, so you don’t lose any more time. I say this as a former university student more than as an architect. Trust me, you don’t want to waste time studying for a profession you won’t end up joining. | Don't know how tertiary level education works in your country but here in Australia we have University and TAFE (trade school). If you want a professional qualification then Uni is where you go. If you want training in a trade or technician type position then you do TAFE. Architecture is a 5 year masters degree, whereas a cert iv in Architectural Drafting is a 3 year course. The time and stress only increase as you advance in the course so consider that when making a decision. In my opinion Architecture is one of the hardest degree courses because of the hours required whereas Architectural Drafting is pretty darn easy as it is mostly copying or following guidelines. There are a number of related fields you could get into if Architecture interests you such as engineering (Civil or Structural), Urban Design, Landscape Architecture, Interior Architecture, Project Management, Real Estate (sales or development), Architectural Visualization (3D rendering or old school illustration), Furniture Design. Given your imagined role as sketching or copying a building then maybe Architectural Visualization is for you. | 1 | 3,390 | 2.666667 | ||

The profession is changing as we know it and most likely (after some struggles) will be much better. Which is something to look forward to at least 😉 Also to finally add, you don't have to be in architecture when you graduate, you can do a lot of things!

It will just be part of your journey in life and a one year diversion will be nothing compared to decades of grinding through something you don't really enjoy. I don't envy students, especially first years, having to deal with corona restricitions. I only survived uni design projects by having fellow students around me for banter and coffee breaks. Having to deal with the working hours and self doubt (mostly) on your own is an extreme mental challenge. | Whilst I hate and don't believe you HAVE to works these hours (both in academia and professional environments), it is still something you will experience fairly regularly so it sounds like you aren't mentally ready for that just yet.

Mechanical, Electrical or Chemical. The other engineering degree including civil is just a derivative of the 3 courses. I suggest this because those 3 are pretty generic courses that are still highly sought after. Another thing you gotta remember is just because you studied XYZ course does not mean you will have XYZ career path. Many of my engineering mates are working in banks as analysts or are still doing engo but nothing to do with what we studied, Like a Solutions Architect (nothing to do with the architect we know lol). Doing any of the 3 will give you lots of career opportunities, whilst doing civil... you'll just end up in civil jobs. I'm saying this because I did systems engineering and I vividly remember my math teacher in high school saying don't do that course since it'll be hard to get a job... Considering that he has an aeronautical engineering degree, I kinda regret not heeding his advice. | 1 | 2,896 | 6 | ||

Considering that he has an aeronautical engineering degree, I kinda regret not heeding his advice. | Hey OP, I'll give my thoughts as someone who studied both architecture and civil engineering at an undergraduate level for 5 years. I've summarised my thoughtd into two parts related to the issues you've raised. 1. Constant Design Iteration: This is something you will have to face every week in your studies. Your tutors will expect to see changes to your design as you progress through the semester, not an absolutely resolved design by week 2. The good news is that in the workforce you will not have to iterate for the sake of iteration. It's difficult now, but if you can get work experience and exposure at a local architecture firm, you might find it completely different from what is taught and practiced in class. Adding to this, it seems you find yourself enjoying only certain parts of architecture (e.g. drafting). You'll find larger companies will allow you to pick and choose a specific design role, instead of smaller boutique firms where you have to be a jack of all trades. 2. Switching to civil My engineering friends definitely had more free time (and higher paying job opportunities), but the classes had absolutely no content on creativity, aesthetics and human centred design. Civil engineering will broaden your ability to work not just in construction, but for roads, transport, bridges etc. If you are passionate about buildings, you should be pursuing a structural major instead of a general civil engineering degree. With structural engineering, you work under the design intent proposed by the architect which is limiting. You can propose member sizes, details and structural systems but the overall creative and aesthetic decisions are made by the architect. If you bring your skills in sketching to this role, you might find yourself a favourite amongst the architects you work with. They will always prefer engineers who design structures with aesthetics in mind, and being a good artist is a plus to communicate ideas in design meetings. In response to your last question, if you love buildings and sketching, then personally, I believe you're on the right path and shouldn't be too hard on yourself. Online school + the collective trauma of covid is hard enough and may be leading you to burn out. Also rest assured knowing that you're young and not wasting anytime if you do end up switching degrees or going back and forth between the two for some time. Covid is making everyone reconsider their life choices, so now's the perfect time to experiment. | 0 | 21,874 | 2 | ||

First year we had another iteration on our assignment due each class (with class held every other day). However in later years, it was only 2 or 3 projects a semester, and progress towards an end presentation was due each class, not a whole other model/drawing. However the grind is not unique to first year. I agree architecture school is a labor of love and and it left a scar on me too. You won't have much free time but you might form deep bonds with your fellow architecture students who you practically live with in studio. But making it to the end with good grades is a gauntlet. I graduated summa cum laude but was so burnt out I took a year off after graduation doing nothing but healing and living on my savings. Though it's strange to say I don't regret it. I absolutely love my job and couldn't see myself doing anything else. Before you change majors I would highly recommend asking students further along in your program what the assignments are like, and maybe seeing if you can talk to a professor who also works as an architect what a typical week looks like at their office. It's important to know if decades of the career will be worth pushing through 4 or 5 years of school. But there is no shame in changing majors. One of my friends was in the same position after the first semester and one question was able to help her realize she should switch. Ask yourself, if you got all As with the same amount of work put in as other majors would you still want to switch? Make sure you're changing the course of your life because of your career interests, not because it's hard. I do feel bad offering the tough love approach seeing as most comments here are supportive of the switch. But I think we're just very used to people dropping, especially in first year. Don't get lost in the crowd. If you think you'll be waking up each day after college excited to go to work like I do, fight for that. But figure out if that'll be the case first. Edit: I forgot you said you were doing the major online. Not having that support system in studio makes it much harder. Being able to watch the sun set and then rise again surrounded by friends blasting music, midnight fast food runs, walking around in blankets at 3am, and napping in foamcore forts under desks got me through. I saw in other post someone recommend seeing of you can postpone your degree until in person classes are back. That's something to consider. You could get an internship in the meantime to make use of that year. But again, investing this kind of time will only be worth it if the end career will be worth it. | Hey OP, I'll give my thoughts as someone who studied both architecture and civil engineering at an undergraduate level for 5 years.

It's important to know if decades of the career will be worth pushing through 4 or 5 years of school. But there is no shame in changing majors. One of my friends was in the same position after the first semester and one question was able to help her realize she should switch. Ask yourself, if you got all As with the same amount of work put in as other majors would you still want to switch? Make sure you're changing the course of your life because of your career interests, not because it's hard. I do feel bad offering the tough love approach seeing as most comments here are supportive of the switch. But I think we're just very used to people dropping, especially in first year. Don't get lost in the crowd. If you think you'll be waking up each day after college excited to go to work like I do, fight for that. But figure out if that'll be the case first. Edit: I forgot you said you were doing the major online. Not having that support system in studio makes it much harder. Being able to watch the sun set and then rise again surrounded by friends blasting music, midnight fast food runs, walking around in blankets at 3am, and napping in foamcore forts under desks got me through. I saw in other post someone recommend seeing of you can postpone your degree until in person classes are back. That's something to consider. You could get an internship in the meantime to make use of that year. But again, investing this kind of time will only be worth it if the end career will be worth it. | Just a heads up, CivE isn't objectively easier, the time you'll save not iterating on work will be lost in the math/programming/physics-based courses, not to mention that most programs have strict transfer-in requirements for engineering students as well | 0 | 13,894 | 2 | ||

But people who hate their jobs generally find an outlet by complaining about it. So there will always be a disproportionate amount of recommendations against any profession. And just like any job, factors like location, pay, benefits, and most importantly how you get along with coworkers impacts satisfaction. I think very few people can actually wake up looking forward to going to work that day, and architecture is just like any job in that way. Granted, we are underpaid, but if you love it, you love it. I'm currently heading into the office and I've been looking forward to the next day since I left last night. I'm one of the lucky ones, not in architecture, but in the workforce in general. Find the right office with the right people, and you'll hack life. I get to spend all day with my friends, in a supportive environment, doing something I'm passionate about. But that can happen in any job. Do what you love. Don't let bitter people change the course of your life. | What would you do instead, I think people in many professions, feel the same.

I really admire architecture and wish to maybe study it in University (I’m from the UK doing ALevels) but I’m scared I would be stuck designing boring office blocks instead of things that I’m passionate about. So anyone who is studying architecture in Uni or working in the industry, what is it like and what is your career progression like. What kinda projects have you worked on. What are your plans for the future. Any insight into the industry would be of great help.

There are limits to the size and number of units on multiplex buildings but, once you are familiar with a decent CAD program, (I use softplan) $150 to 200/hr is a reasonable expectation. I like the fact that most projects take only a few weeks before you move on to the next one. I typically have several jobs going at any one time. You meet great folks who are very appreciative. If you develop custom builders as clients you get regular repeat business. You can easily do all this from home. | Hey OP. Recently qualified UK architect here. Architecture school you will be designing all sorts of things but the reality on qualification is you will not really be designing anything yourself. You will be assisting others in design. It is a collaborative job at which you are a small cog in a large machine. Only much later in your career are you in a position to lead a project design. There will be lots of little design problems to solve with the design itself and hundreds of these problems make the complete design amd this is actually a fun part of the job. Working in the UK most of the bread and butter you will work on will be housing / offices / civic. Many of these could be considered 'boring' but it's the little details which make it an interesting design problem to solve. If you are expecting to work on wacky buildings like the guggenheim and feel you would be disappointed if you couldn't do that, THIS JOB IS NOT FOR YOU. that won't happen, those buildings make up such a small percentage of construction. Also expect unpaid overtime and low pay. You have to really want to do the job otherwise you will quickly become dissatisfied. Good luck in your decision making | 0 | 21,669 | -0.666667 | ||

I really admire architecture and wish to maybe study it in University (I’m from the UK doing ALevels) but I’m scared I would be stuck designing boring office blocks instead of things that I’m passionate about. So anyone who is studying architecture in Uni or working in the industry, what is it like and what is your career progression like. What kinda projects have you worked on.

When I graduated with a bachelor's and master's in architecture, I wanted to stay in my home city for a few years to get my feet under me. So I ended up doing medical offices because there were only ever a handful of job postings that I qualified for. It was good work but not at all what I imagined growing up wanting to be an architect. But once I opened up my job search to include the entire country (US) I landed my dream job in a few months. Now I work on gorgeous custom contemporary single family homes with secret rooms, waterfalls, geothermal heating, and countless exciting features. I had to move thousands of miles away, but it was 100% worth it. The majority of architecture is definitely not the glamorous high design that inspires most students to go into the field. But it's out there if you chase it. | You can make serious money without a degree (or articling or working for a boss) designing residential. There are limits to the size and number of units on multiplex buildings but, once you are familiar with a decent CAD program, (I use softplan) $150 to 200/hr is a reasonable expectation. I like the fact that most projects take only a few weeks before you move on to the next one. I typically have several jobs going at any one time. You meet great folks who are very appreciative. If you develop custom builders as clients you get regular repeat business. You can easily do all this from home. | 1 | 652 | -0.666667 | ||

I could PM you a link to my portfolio if you like - should give you an idea of the kinds of things we do at uni... or, at least, my uni. While there are core commonalities between uni courses, due to ARB/RIBA certification, I understand different unis have different focuses. For example, I know someone who went to Plymouth and they said their course was super arty, while others say the AA is very theoretical, and mine (Portsmouth) is somewhat more technical. At my uni, first year BA was spent getting everyone up to speed: making sure we can all read plans, know how to do orthographic drawings, understand depth/lineweights in drawings, hatching, model making, conceptualising in 3D, abstracting, site analysis, practicing drawing, etc. The actual projects, IIRC, were going out and drawing a building on the local high street in elevation, draw up your room in plan & section, make a model of a notable building, design a pavilion, and finally design a small building, while also doing some history/theory and technical/construction stuff. Second year built on the first and was more of the same, but with an introduction to CAD (everything was hand drawn in year 1). Third year was more group work focused, and introduced project management and professional practice stuff. Each year we designed bigger buildings, with more functions, and were expected to put more and more detail into each one. Regarding your first question, there are lots of different types of architecture practice. If you want you can do your BA, masters (MArch), and Part 3 qualification and then open up your own practice doing whatever kind of work you want. Lots of people do. Otherwise there are tonnes of small practices that specialise in all kinds of areas, or medium size practices that do all sorts. I wouldn't worry about being stuck designing boring office blocks unless you go to one of the big London firms, as they have a reputation of putting fresh graduates on the most boring jobs for big projects. I suggest looking up some architecture practices local to you and see what kind of work they do to get a feel for what you could be doing in the future. Local to me, for example, are Design Engine and HCC Architects, to name just two off the top of my head. Any questions, PM me. | Hello! Chartered Architect in the UK here. :) You may find the following link helpful with regards to the training requirements for becoming an architect: https://www.architecture.com/education-cpd-and-careers/how-to-become-an-architect In short, if you are following the typical route to chartership, you will need a 3 year bachelor’s degree followed by a year of work in industry, then a 2 year master’s degree followed by a year of work in industry after which you will take an exam with the Architect’s Registration Board to become chartered and have the right to use the title “Architect”. There are other ways to achieve this, eg apprenticeships, but this is the most common at the moment. Studying architecture is fun in the sense of experimentation with various designs, sites, ideas, software etc, so I think you will enjoy that part. Working as an architect in practice however needs an additional and slightly different set of skills that you may or may not find boring based on your comments. That includes knowledge on law, regulations, project management, collaboration and coordination with various disciplines and stakeholders, finance, business management, working with very diverse client requirements etc. You will develop some of these skills in architecture school but some are mostly gained through hands-on experience. The reason why I say you may not like this is because a lot of the day to day aspects of the job require you to compromise your design vision to accommodate other people’s requirements, business priorities, other disciplines etc. That applies to everyone in every job, even to starchitects who seemingly design what they please. It also takes a long time (if ever!) for someone to have their own hand-picked projects with clients who are cooperative and can afford the design, unless they start their own practice that allows them to choose what work they agree to and/or are some of the rare few that become said starchitects in their career. So although it is technically possible, it isn’t realistic to expect that having artistic freedom all the time is the norm in the profession. The majority of professionals in the UK work on smaller projects, usually housing, offices, refurbishments and extensions, sometimes public buildings. (Usually larger) companies may also work on airports, civic buildings, schools, museums etc. but this is not as common depending on where you are. Most such projects are also delivered by large teams of designers so you will be working alongside other architects with their own visions and opinions rather than as a solo designer. As such, the compensation, especially in early years of your career, may also not be in par with other professions that require similarly lengthy training and studies, and the culture of overworking, especially when working for starchitects, may be questionable. Things are getting better but these are some practical things to keep in mind. That said, if you are keen to work on specific building types or under specific design principles, there are plenty of options because the way design is approached by companies of different sizes, with different specialisations, in different locations etc. varies a lot. It is very possible to find the right fit if you know what you are passionate about and do your research on the first that do that. There are some wonderful practices around, that do beautiful and innovative work and continue to push the boundaries of the profession, and some people who start their own businesses and are really successful, so it can be a very rewarding career choice. With regards to my experience, I chose to work for a large practice and I am mainly doing corporate offices and master planning projects at the moment, which I really enjoy - I chose to be in the office design team specifically. Previous experience also includes schools, museums and airports though. I would love to design housing but unlike many I have not really had the chance to do that yet. I also do research in practice related to how people experience space and that is also really exciting for me but not a usual part of an architect’s work. I have a link to my university design and research work on my profile if you want to have a look. So in short, if you know what you want and are flexible enough to adapt it to real world requirements, being an architect is great. I particularly enjoy working with clients and finding out what they need in a way that lets me advocate for them to achieve the best possible results. Seeing a building you helped design completed is another positive also. I hope this helps but if you want to have a chat feel free to DM me. :) All the best!! | 0 | 4,379 | 2 | ||

vyt0i5 | architecture_train | 1 | Have you ever doubted doing architecture as a profession after architecture studies ? Hi all , I’m still serving the military from where I live before hopping on to pursue my architecture studies in uni. I’ve done a diploma in architecture before I went on to serve the army , & while I did tremendously well to secure a spot in uni with a scholarship, I’m having my doubts as to whether I should continue in this industry. Don’t get me wrong , I enjoyed every single bit of architecture school , the late nights , the synthesis, the trial & error process, the tough decisions I had to make. All of it. But it doesn’t seem to translate well in the working industry in Singapore. I think the long hours low pay is a long known industry issue worldwide. It just dawned to me after the Architecture Association highlights that the country is facing a brain drain , with only 7% of fresh graduates staying long term in the industry, thus I’m wondering if my interests/decisions would be sustainable when I have more commitments as a full grown adult. I’ve already decided that architecture would be a secondary source of income if I do continue living in my country, but the bigger question is am I going to be a great architect that I think I will be , having invested 3 years & counting. Is there any word of advice for those who are genuinely interested in architecture, but still unsure if it will sustain their best interests in the long run, due to the issues that the industry faces for the longest time? (Toxic hustle culture , poor remuneration , long liabilities) | ig46t38 | ig5etld | 1,657,799,484 | 1,657,818,092 | 1 | 2 | In this age of information and technology, world is changing fast but not the education system. I guess in upcoming days 5 years of school will be worthless. Life is long and eventually one may get bored and try new skills. One may find new passion. Its not like old days anymore like do job as per your profession. And this happens in every field not only architecture. Whichever field one may chose one will eventually get bored and tired of it at some point in time depending on the situation and life phase... For me, i personally have certainly doubted architecture as profession multiple times. When i see my software engineer friends making 5 6 times more, it is natural to have those thoughts come to my mind. These are bad parts only, and since you have already done diploma in architecture, you must be familiar with the good parts.. And there are tons of that.. | Same here. I'm a 4th year architecture student. Ever since 2nd year I'm always asking myself -- Is architecture the right one for me? Why do I always making the same shits daily??? Do works, submit then repeat. I can't find the essence or passion for architecture. I took architecture because I saw my rich relatives who are in the same field. So I enter architecture. Little did I know when I enter architecture, I realized that the profession is underpaid and exploited which made me discourage but still finishing the program. My parents are always happy since I'm always at academic scholarships every semester but, those grades were just out of responsibility??? you get it?? 😅 I know this is some weird random rants but, I hope I can find the same dilemma🥺 | 0 | 18,608 | 2 | ||
9h5f7b | architecture_train | 0.87 | [ask] Yukasu Maezawa and SpaceX want to take along a group of the world's top artists, including potentially an architect, on the first civilian trip to the moon. What's your opinion on that, and if you got selected, what kind of piece would you like to create? Yesterday I finally got around to watching the newest SpaceX press release where they announced the billionaire that they're sending to the moon, found here: https://youtu.be/zu7WJD8vpAQ And I just found it really interesting in several ways. First it's interesting that Yukasu is "only" worth around 2 billion, according to my cursory Google searches, and they could've gone with a much more prominent or wealthy rich person. Like I'd imagine that there was a long line of rich people wanting to go - but I realize that it takes someone who's fit and can withstand the rigors of training for the journey, and most of the world's rich people are old or semi old-ish. Yukasu looks young and healthy. I also think it's really (like really) awesome that he announced that he wants to take *artists* with him, and that he's paying for their rides. He wants to take a painter, a fashion designer (that's his industry, fashion), a writer, and/or... An architect. The BFR can carry upwards of 100 passengers so this is a team that can vary in size, but will probably remain below 10, since it's the first mission. It's just really cool to see such emphasis placed on the importance of art as opposed to the ever-present salivation over the sciences and STIM fields. Why not send a geologist, a planetary scientist, or engineers? Because he wants this mission to inspire others to go after them, thus continuously decreasing the pricetag. So what's your opinion on that? What does it say about architecture, a field that's not typically seen, especially from outside observers, as a "traditional" art form? I think later today I'm going to do some sketches of what I'd like to do if I got picked... But of course, the trip would change the artist's vision and would probably result in something different than previously thought. | e69bat6 | e69b5kn | 1,537,369,407 | 1,537,369,285 | 6 | 2 | I would love to have a super modern structure with curves like the surface of the moon, lots of chrome detailing, and wood as its not a material that exists on the moon and is so nicely organic looking. and a living wall if plants could make the trip. | > I'm going to do some sketches of what I'd like to do if I got picked...

I would imagine the vastness and scale would blow your mind and possibly give a new perspective on our life’s on earth. Maybe it would enhance the necessity of a building to be environmentally friendly and have a very good transition with the nature/environment around the building.

Like I'd imagine that there was a long line of rich people wanting to go - but I realize that it takes someone who's fit and can withstand the rigors of training for the journey, and most of the world's rich people are old or semi old-ish. Yukasu looks young and healthy. I also think it's really (like really) awesome that he announced that he wants to take *artists* with him, and that he's paying for their rides. He wants to take a painter, a fashion designer (that's his industry, fashion), a writer, and/or... An architect. The BFR can carry upwards of 100 passengers so this is a team that can vary in size, but will probably remain below 10, since it's the first mission. It's just really cool to see such emphasis placed on the importance of art as opposed to the ever-present salivation over the sciences and STIM fields. Why not send a geologist, a planetary scientist, or engineers? Because he wants this mission to inspire others to go after them, thus continuously decreasing the pricetag. So what's your opinion on that? What does it say about architecture, a field that's not typically seen, especially from outside observers, as a "traditional" art form? I think later today I'm going to do some sketches of what I'd like to do if I got picked... But of course, the trip would change the artist's vision and would probably result in something different than previously thought. | e69yhep | e6a0nt4 | 1,537,387,865 | 1,537,389,566 | 2 | 5 | For me the moon is both beautiful and harsh, and is somewhere not meant to be easily inhabited. I’d like to see something along the lines of the extreme polar research bases, or on a grander scale 3D printed brutalist forms made out of the materials found there. Becoming part of the environment is surely the only way to survive long term there. | For me it would not be a piece inspired by the curves or aesthetic of the moon or earth, but rather a piece is inspired by what you would experience in space. I would imagine the vastness and scale would blow your mind and possibly give a new perspective on our life’s on earth. Maybe it would enhance the necessity of a building to be environmentally friendly and have a very good transition with the nature/environment around the building. TLDR a building inspired by a new perspective on life not a moon themed building | 0 | 1,701 | 2.5 | ||
9h5f7b | architecture_train | 0.87 | [ask] Yukasu Maezawa and SpaceX want to take along a group of the world's top artists, including potentially an architect, on the first civilian trip to the moon.
