    Time management is a hard lesson to learn in college because nobody really teaches it to you, especially when you're out on your own for the first time. I like the saying "fail early, fail often, but fail forward" - mess up when you're in the learning phase and corrections are cheap, that goes for projects too, lots of designing and executing, and fixing what doesn't work. Lovely henna too! ♥️ And lol at the first Q-tip "trick"

    Absolutely agree. Also, there's so many time management methods out there that it can get confusing. In the past few years I've been trying out different methods, figuring out what works and doesn't work for me. Eg. I was really surprised to find that GTD, the method that everyone seems to be raving about, doesn't work particularly well for me! The search continues! Thank you!

    To all those struggling with architecture and hand drawing, learn how to draft with the most accessible software Sketchup, if you cannot afford BIM like Revit and Archicad. It is an essential tool that will get you to explore places such as research, simple illustrations, clear communication, design, bim, and visualization. As students, this can also hdlp your thesis and sidelines to earn money for drafting. This shows how to utilize Sketchup for those presentations without relying on Photoshop. kzread.info

    I’m taking an architecture class in high school right now and we’re using revit, and I think it’s a really great tool to use since it’s fairly simple to navigate and it helps with creating floor plans and visualizing the 3D view of your project. I’d also recommend using inventor as a beginner CAD program since it’s what I used in my drafting class last year and it helped me understand isometric views and develop basic foundations of structures. I’m definitely going to try to do some of your tips to help me prepare for architecture school!

    As an architect you are, for better or worse, responsible for bring your clients up to speed. Great design without communication will not result in buildings. The sketching allows you to focus on anything the client failed to understand, off the cuff explanations. The architecture history allows you to provide context that your client is unlikely to understand, to tell why your design is relevant. Also, Revit is to Autocad as builders are to architects.

    I'm 23 yrs old and I've had the passion to wanna make concepts and schematics for structures since I was a kid.. I've fell in love with architecture and i was really intrigued by all the complex malls and buildings In my district. But it got real for me when I played farcry in the early 2000s and got my young hands on a map editor.. the endless energy I poured Into making ideas and concepts for buildings, houses. Even Sci fi and apocalyptic settings.. I've eventually learned it's better to draw my ideas on paper to get a more general understanding of what I want to create, doing full week projects every opportunity I could, which was pretty much after I was done with hw🤣. Now since I'm older I taught my self a decent understanding of perspective drawing and human anatomy/ reference cuz I'm quite fascinated on those subjects. But perspective drawing is what really caught my eye.. These days I can't help but look at my surroundings alot, and I love looking at buildings that are well designed, even entering some if allowed. I'm always mentally absorbing information and asking questions about its structure, why things are placed in certain positions and never get bored thinking about em.. And I believe that enthusiasm to the creation of things Is why I want to pursue this career path in architecture.. I want to create something myself. A place for people to actually walk into, to admire and appreciate. And put a smile in there face when they see something that catches there eye, or to just be shocked by an interesting room or walking area.. Im positively sure I couldn't get bored with having ideas for projects because Its something I've been doing all this time without even realizing it.. creativity is in all our blood, it's just about finding the right passion and motivator to unlock it. And I just have this feeling that I'm making the right choice with this career.. if I do ill be the first in my family to have a successful backstory😅. Thank u for the motivation and lessons❤

    I am an architect from Lithuania, Europe, I think the same age:D and I just say thank you that you are talking about all of this. In my schoold year I did not have any youtube chanel as yours. Thank you! Because everything what you said is truth, I had a lot of struggle in the first year too, second year I got that one building and I think new tutors - pro architects, who broke my personal code and let me think more and put all myself in project. Make it like a baby:D But it is very dangerous in real life... not very good for mental health in long perspective. Time managment and mental helath I think are the most important skills, because as you said, you can not wait till the fasinating idea comes into life, you have to work for it and hard and always with plan, see the next step. And take care of your phisical and mental health - sometimes it is the same as you said cardio for example or yoga. Thank you one more time and I am very happy for finding your chanel. I will share it with my students in lectures.

    Hi Dami! Great video which gives a lot of insight on studying the major in university, and will definitely take those notes and apply when I hopefully enroll in architecture school next year. I'm currently studying a fusion360 course in 3d printing as practice beforehand and I'm decently known for being good at art, specializing in shading and coloring portraits, and in a related note, I'm very passionate on studying architecture as I love the practical and competitive yet rewarding and thrilling aspects to this major. However, I'm a little worried with not being able to pick up all the concepts as well as apply creativity and originality in ideas as building design is something I haven't tried before and most probably not related at all to drawing faces, so what do you propose on doing initially to pick up this skill and to be confident with my work. Thanks.

Architecture school is very time consuming, I won't lie, but I think if you could manage your time really well, you could really take advantage of it :)
