This could also be titled - a design primer for non-architects! Great job describing some of the 'habits' of successful designers.

I'm an architect student. "Iteration" is a word I hear a lot. Our professors love to see progress, direction, and variation. From what I gather, Clients like to see different forms of the same concept.

@30by40

7 жыл бұрын

Iteration - to me - is to the process by which variants of an underlying concept are developed. In my experience, clients prefer to have a choice between concepts early on rather than iterations of a single concept. It isn't easy to achieve the right balance between overwhelming clients with a variety of concepts and/or too many iterations of the same one. And, many clients directly equate more options with higher fees and so our role is to guide the process sensibly. One trick I use: leverage different concepts to illustrate the process that's guided me to the solution I think is best. Out of three solutions I will say, "This is where I began (concept 1), which led me here (concept 2), which then suggested this was the best way forward (concept 3)." Usually some hybridization occurs between two of the concepts and then we move into the next, iterative phase. Hope that helps... Cheers...

Thanks for the comment. Some of my studio professors are driving us to think more creatively. The issue I have is creating abstract and dynamic forms, setting new precedents. It really hurts my process when I'm constantly questioning, 'why am I making it look like this?' And I end up hitting a brick wall, while the other students make strides.

Have you watched my video on overcoming creative blocks yet? kzread.info/dash/bejne/eY6J0JOihtvgktY.html That's an excellent question to ponder...fleshing out form-making this way is good process. Remember, creating abstract or dynamic forms doesn't implicitly make for great architecture - architecture is fundamentally about space making. And, humble gestures can be just as - if not more - powerful. A few ideas: watch some Zumthor videos, step outside of the studio environment, cross-pollinate with other disciplines (watch A Chef's Table on Netflix for inspiration), read, hike, take photos, use new mediums, bike...do something other than design. Inspiration can be found in unexpected places. Your process will be unlike your peers, when you find the combination that works for you things will fall into place, but it takes time to figure this out. I used to have a box of discarded cardboard model parts that I would dig into when ideas weren't flowing. I would smash them together looking for opportunities, this always helped move me forward. Experiment...!

Kjleed13 how are you. i wanna ask you a question. is in architecture you people also studying about structure subject

This video conceives a meaning of architecture admirable by many others, and is unique to yourself. Thank you for sharing.

i love the exterior design concepts/modules which redefine interior design functions.

#8 ENGAGING THE SENSES Juhani Pallasmaa wrote "Eyes of the Skin", an extended essay, regarding the biased nature of vision (without any regard to senses of touch, taste, smell and hearing) and how it generalized the quality of architectural work prior to its implementation. It is very true that ALL SENSES must be involved in architectural profession.

I really love that masterclass ad that always plays before these videos. :)

Thank you! I like the structures and designs you portray. I enjoyed the steel and glass compositions.

Thx for reminding me on the very basics of our guild. In Germany, we are as much engineers and sitemanager as we are architectural Designers. One tends to Not think about ones own design-roots for long periods of time, until big projects are done in all the necessary aspects of a build.

@30by40

Indeed, the very things that drew us to the profession are often given the least time in our everyday professional lives. I keep wondering if this is actually a necessity, or if our Guild (excellent term...!) could design an alternative solution that allows us to dedicate more time to design and less to management. I keep looking to technology for a solution: a bot net of CM's we control, 3D printing, a more integrated BIM to built-world construction process? It's up to us I suppose! Thanks for watching...cheers...

Our studio commissions today are mostly end market contemporary residential. Architecture seems to move with "popular" demand (sic) ie. Spanish-Mediterranean in the 70's , semi-Victorian revival in the 80's (known as Biggy-best in SA), and pretentious Tuscan in the late 90's. Even with contemporary architecture today, most clients seem to be extremely conservative towards non-conventional concepts. It is on rare occasions that we have a carte-blanch trust from the client to deliver a progressive and capitalizing architectural design.

Architecture is art.... all my concepts to most look like scribble, to me... art!

I am in junior year on high school currently but I plan to go to college for architecture in the states with trips abroad to Japan to learn Japanese architecture. After college, I want to save up to move to Japan and be a unique architect with weird ways of doing things that most architects do not think of, like unique house designs with nature in mind. I want to tell my story through architecture, I want to be astounding in my artistic endeavors. That is my dream, to live my life to the fullest and to do it in a sustainable way for our home planet, Earth.

Thank you.

In the day to day grind of marketing, business development, office management, and contracts - it's good to reconnect with that place inside me that looks for inspiration and longs for a reminder of why I became an Architect. Don't get me wrong - I LOVE what I do for a living; but the business of Architecture is a very different animal than the academics or the theory of Architecture are. Finding opportunities to embrace these ideas and instill them into our culture is always a challenge - but one worthy of the effort...FWIW - I would also add the following:9.

Could you list the 8 concepts you cover in the video within the comments section along with the time stamp when you cover them? I am an Architect, I know the definitions and many others of the profession, but would like to hear which ones you personally prioritize as important to you. Yes, every Architect has their own distinct approach as your intro lays out. I would be most interested in how you come up with your eight.

Cool!

I'm really thinking about becoming an architect but I don't know if the lifestyle matches the life I want…. I want a creative and versatile workplace and I love starting new projects but I don't want to be in a constant competition and under constant preassure... i don't want to place work over family. Some of my criteria are a stable job where I don't have to fear unemployment so much and a job where I can prioritize my future family.... Could I still become an architect and is it possible to balance life the way I want to?

This kind of life in architecture is absolutely possible, and it's one of the primary reasons I set out to practice on my own after working for others for a long time. Today it's easier than ever to start the kind of "lifestyle business" you describe. If you're interested to see how I designed my practice to fit my lifestyle, be sure to check out: Architect + Entrepreneur volumes 1+2 ( thirtybyforty.com/books/ ). Volume 1 is the starting journey (asking the questions you're asking here) and volume 2 describes the tactics I deployed to make it possible (passive income and product development strategies). I wanted to be able to walk my children to the bus stop or watch a cross country meet in the afternoon, and to take them to music lessons. I wanted to take a vacation when I wanted, not when my boss thought the workload was low enough to. Owning my time was paramount. Traditional architecture practice is associated with many of things you reference: long hours, stress, competition and anxiety. Reinventing traditional notions of practice isn't always easy, nor does it completely alleviate the stress any true professional will experience in business or in life; however you can design it to work for you, not the other way around. Hope that helps...I've found architecture to be an immensely rewarding profession...

Would you like to reupload this video with some notes, please?

the commercial preceeding this was for Frank Gehry's Masterclass lol. Also, isn't Parti the physical manifestation of the idea, not a concept or context? I was taught (and have always heard of) a 3 step process: 1) Concept- the main idea or focus 2) Context- the setbacks, rules, and opportunities that scultp the progress of a project and 3) Parti- the physical manifestation at the end of the process (i.e. the built building or the finished painting)

I was always taught the parti is the generative idea not the end result. Here's a deeper dive I recorded more recently: kzread.info/dash/bejne/nWiYuMmbpduocdo.html

I have a question thats been causing conflict within myself, I'm enrolling myself as an architectural design major at my school next year but i feel my background knowledge on architecture is lacking. I've taken technical drawing courses and autoCAD classes before in highschool, and this year many of my classes are designed around constructing environments, but is there ever a point you feel "ready" to be an architect before enrolling in the major?

i THINK this video speaks only about a certain type of design, i mean not everyone necessarily needs to keep a simple design and orthogonal lines, what if i don't want my joints to be seen and i want my materials to differ?

I think it's common to feel as though you're not an expert at drawing before entering architecture school, however you should have a natural affinity for drawing (you should enjoy doing it). looking at the sketches of famous architects will quickly show you that each personal style is different, some are technically accomplished, some are more abstract...sketching communicates ideas that's the goal...cheers...

You don't need to be an expert drawer to be an architect. With digital or just pens, grid paper, time and technique, you will be able to do fine work without perfect freehand lines and circles. In fact, I would say drawing is superficial when it comes to architecture. Creativity and understanding are key. Some of the greats were not very well educated and some were even self-taught. Such as Frank Llyod Wright, Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier, Louis Sullivan, and Tadao Ando. In fact, Wright, for one, made it quite clear that he didn't believe in education and this may be the exact reason he was so great. For, education teaches you what was or is, not what will or ought to be. These men became great due to natural talent, hard work, and mentorship, normally under one another. Thus, to my mind, the five most important elements of becoming an architect, or anything for that matter, since this has been clear since the Greeks, are as follows: 1. Mentorship 2. Creativity 3. Talent 4. Work 5. Education Note: It may be the case that education gains you the former, however, it is not required, and in many cases, it does not help, not if you are filled with creativity and talent, then only work and experience will help you, not education. True greatness is always found in the former, not in the latter.

Hello!!! I would like to ask if I can do architecture, I realy want to be an archetect, though, I find my self in a hard time, since, I have not taken some required subjects in my O level and advance level, I can do less with physics, maths and chemistry while for the qulification in my country somebody to be so, should do well in those subjects. I did not know those qualifications, what I knew is being able in drawing and desining is the way to artecture, I went on drawing and desining buildings. But, when I attended my high school education I found something different, it was vice versa of what I firstly knew, I want to go on with my goal, so, what should l do?

Very good information especially for a undergrad student pursuing there architecture degree like my self but some time when your giving information it sounds like your reading off a paper keep up the good work, please just use a little more expression in your voice!

I am willing to study hard and do everything I want in my life bc I believe in god I I live just once I’m afraid that if I don’t start now it is going to be late I have really good sketching skills and I can really draw my grandpa is also an architect and my dad is an engineer, mechanic, and he does a lot of sketching all the time and he promised me that the will do everything it takes to help me make my dream come true I hope I do !
