Are you thinking of studying architecture when you graduate highschool? Perhaps you wan't to be an architect when you are older. Maybe you are working in another field and are thinking about switching to architecture. Is it a good career? Is it worth the change? What is architecture like?

Just like what my college instructor once said, "An engineer knows everything about one thing. An architect knows something about everything."
Awesome fact
#teamengineer
Wow
What a conceited thing to say lol
Architecture is a kind of Engineering in a sense because all engineering is, is design.
Bruh my username is in a video idk how to handle fame like this
Does pinning your comment make it better ;)
Do not like Crenam his/her comment, it has the perfect number now!
Short Stop Motions yum
excuse me could i get an autograph
@@Angie-rz1kz yeah here it is:

Can u please make a video on different paths we can take as architecture graduate. Btw great videos
Historical Preservation, Materials Analyst, Construction Management
Some people go into real estate development. I went down that path, went to graduate school and now I've been doing real estate private equity fund investments/management for 7 years. I don't know if I like my job more than architecture job, but it sure as hell pays a lot more than before.
@@pvtacc7720 were you able to use your knowledge from architecture studies? Sounds more like a business field.
same concern
@@SS-ss1ir what path makes the most money?
Short answer: No, but if you really like Architecture the answer is Yes
I want to become architect but I am afraid of can't job with normal salary. Do architects have difficulty to find job? Or needn't fear it?
@@Alex-tg2jp I dunno, it varies from countries to countries, some countries have high demand in architects, some are not.
I guess u need to do a research first from the internet, ask about it from a professor or the architects from your country themselves.
@@Cheese-kz5io Thank you for answer) How do you think has USA high demand in architects? Do architects difficulty to find jobs in America?
@@Cheese-kz5io Thank you for answer) Have architects got good balance work and life? Can architects have a family, friends and other not-architecture hobby?
@@Alex-tg2jp I'm not an architecture student nor am I going to take it but yes, you can have a good balance of life and work with a proper time management and being selective when choosing clients to work with, for example some demand a very complicated design that takes a lot of time to do while others are not. Got this answer from a friend whose brother takes architect major and now has been working in Canada for almost 2 years now (If Im not mistaken). Hope this helps :)
I was an licensed architect in UK and now I am a freelance web developer, test prep tutor and portrait painter. To be honest, if you like to stay in the office 10-12 hours a day and running project, architect is for you. I am a free spirit and I cannot stay in the meetings for too long. Studying in school is fun, but working in an office as an employed architect is a different story.
Hey! Thanks for you point of view! I feel the same way sometimes as well. Some projects are fun, but the business side of architecture is what I least prefer about the career. I mean the back and forth with the engineers via email, and meetings, and all that stuff. I also enjoy the schematic phase over the other ones as well so when I'm doing CD's, I tend to feel my days drag on.... I'm glad that you found other ways to make money that give you more freedom though, that's awesome!
@@Moochers I still love architecture and I do some self research on renaissance architecture which I love. I might design and build my own house one day. I like detailing. Running a job, dealing with office politics and manage the team is not for me. I only work 5-6 hours a day now and preparing to start couple of online business. To be honest, there are a lot of ways to make money, if you like the job it is good, but if you hate the job like me, it is good to find a way out.
@@takchengsze4719 that's really exciting. I'm glad you've been able to find opportunities that suit you better!
I will be graduated as an architect this year (bachelor's degree). I plan to go deep into 3d modelling & animation especially environmental/secenery art. Do you think , it's somewhat still related to architecture, we all know that architecture learn so many things and fields, do you think that what we learnt during architecture school can support my new hobbies ??
I’m a little late as this comment is 7 months old. But I’d like to hear your experience on the matter. I’m currently a first year student and it’s too much for me and I wanted to ask other people who took different paths after finishing
As a retired architect, I can say that, if you are not able to live without architecture, then go on. If your personal life, is important to you, forget architecture.
Thanks for your input!
Sir can you please reply me..it's the last thing struck on my mind .. what about the salary ? Like will it provide an income of buying cars bikes and a own house ?
This one is real, i'm now considering changing path from architecture. It just feels the sacrifices it takes is not worth.
sir In which CLG u completed ur architecture course ??

Can you do a video on sustainability in Architecture. I am passionate about the environment and this is a dealbreaker for me to go into the field. Btw you have the best content for architecture on RUclips !!
Ofcourse , I would love to do a video on Sustainabilty. Thanks for suggesting it and I really appreciate your compliment :)
@@Moochers yeah please I want to be a sustainable architect
Yes! I am 10 years old, and I want to design a completely sustainable house as soon as I get the chance. What’s some advice on scaling and energy consumption?
@@bladesofderp4649 10 years old? Damn, I'm 13 and want to go into architecture but you sure are mature for your age
Your Supportive Uncle yeah, it’s bloody annoying and embarrassing seeing people online making fart jokes and replying with their own account. Their usually 9 or something.
Graduated from architecture for two years now, currently reviewing for my licensure exam. If you’re looking for a high paying job, architecture is not for you. But on the bright side, architects creates environments. You can help people’s life passively. A classy career. Its as the video says “architecture will help you grow”
I'm glad you see the positive side of it. Good luck on your license exams 😃🍻
Sweetheart u study architecture becuz of passion?
How much do architects get paid
@@tayolenson2268 70k on average in the U.S.
@@gavinfitch8406 thanx
Thank you for making this, searching up architects I get mostly negative aspects, it's nice seeing something inspiring.
In my second semester of community college for architecture and watching videos like this and seeing some professional work done by my professors makes me super excited about everything I’m going to learn and be able to do. I love how there’s so many different facets of architecture to be explored in terms of career. Also, your renaissance man analogy is spot on.
What you're saying, I remember it like it was yesterday. My friends and I would get so hyped to hear people talk about architecture professionally. Glad you enjoyed it!
I honestly don’t think you understand how much your helping me with all your videos. Thank you so much. Can’t wait for the college video.
It's really cool for you to share that with me. Glad it's helping. I'm uploading a "what is architecture school like " (or something like that) video this Sunday!
Hey guys! It's been WAYYYY too long ... Glad to be back and excited to see what comments and questions you guys have!
Hey mooch your videos are good. Its the same experience from my side too.
If I tell true I can't completely understand:) If I like to design buildings and learn architecture but I want to have job with avarage-to-USA salary I should to become architect?
This may sound weird but I'd rather work for someone than to be a freelance architect. I hope to be at 60-80k a year.
Same!
Thanks so much for making this video. Surprisingly, you inspired me to study as an architect and I made sure that it was worth it!
Thanks, I'm happy to hear that
Of all guidance to architecture videos only yours kinda give answers to my questions. Thanks for these amazing videos! They’re giving me clear concepts about my interest in architecture.
I'm starting the third year of architecture in Italy and this video is sooo interesting!!! So thank you, you helped me be conscious of what I'm doing and what I want to be!
Italy!? That is sooooo cool. I'm really happy for you. I took Italian as my elective during one of my semesters and thought it was so amazing. Also, glad this helped! Best of luck to you! Ciao!
Thank you so much for making these videos!
So glad I found your channel. I did my undergrad in marketing and law and two years into a career now working as a marketing manager I've realised I don't enjoy it and design and architecture was what I was enrolled in when I first started but went the 'safe' route and followed a commerce career. Looking at finishing out this year and then going part-time initially and completing my studies :) It's never to late to start ❤️
You got this!🍻😃
Just wanted to say thank you for educating me on what its like to be an architect I really appreciate it
I think choosing a career based on how nice it is or how well it pays is not really the way. Architecture is a beautiful, beautiful career! And yes ofcourse sometimes it sucks, but becoming an architect means you can design the world around you, which in my ears sound amazing! You just need some intrinsic motivation to become a good architect! so.. just wanted to say that :)
🍻😃
im only 15 going to gr.10 rn but wanna think about these stuffs early and i was thinking this week that i wanted a job that i could go to my home everyday and have time for friends and chilling and then i thought about architecture and im interested in it but like does it take long and do u get a good pay(for a person not supporting anyone)and is it hard to find a job and are the studies hard cuz idk if college is how people portray it like u need to study 10+hours just to pass and like its so stressful cuz if it is imma have to advance study and actually focus on school now, if u could reply to this that would be great cuz im really confused like idk bout my future.I watched vids and ppl said its a very high paying job and these replies says otherwise btw i hate maths so i chose this than engineering but if engineering guarantees a job easily and a high paying one and still have lots of time out of work then maybe ill put in the work for maths
Wow.... so inspiring... and at the end of the day I won't even be able to feed a family with a masters and years of working your ass off with no personal life, no nothing other than architecture, just because you like the work and because being an architecture is cool and people will respect you. All that nonsense does not matter if work my life off and gain no money in return. I'm 19 now, about to start studying architecture. If all this is true I'm going to have a miserable life, don't get me wrong, I love architecture and I don't want to do anything else, but I still might change my mind just because of money alone, seriously. I care about personal life and money. My dreams and hopes have been crushed... fuck this. It's either a job I hate that pays well or a job that I like that diminishes every other aspect of life and pays me shit. The latter sounds worse...
That's nice and all, until rent's due, bills flood your mailbox or children apprear in the picture.
There's no ifs and buts up to a point of decency. It's a hell to get to the point where you can work as an architect and it's absolutely normal to expect a certain return on your investment. Unfortunately, that return never comes (at least in my experience). Add to that the crap that most of us work on ( 0 professional fulfillment) and it seals it. I'd not recommend it to my worst enemy.
I'm currently taking up Architecture in college and oh boy am I in a point where my professors are crushing my dreams lol. I am watching these kinds of videos to motivate myself. This video tells me that it's gonna be worth it. Here's the real deal, you gotta have thick skin. You will eat criticism for breakfast and disappointing grades for snack XD, sometimes even at projects you think you did well enough:((. Nonetheless, don't lose hope, it's all part of the learning process!
If professors crush your dreams...oh boy. Wait to see how it is when you actually work in the field.
You made a lot of great points in this video, both honest and motivating! Would love to see a video on sustainable architecture in the future :) - 2nd year architecture student ;)
I wan't to make one in the near future. I've been putting together the video in my head. Hopefully it will be out soon. Thanks for the comment and good luck on your journey!
Man Im going to start architecture school this week and this video made me even more excited about what i have ahead. Great video. Keep the good work👏
Cool! Best of luck to you - so exciting !
It's 4 weeks now, are you still there?? Wassup?
i also wsnt to know how you're doing in architecture school! :D
@@hannahmaeocado2828 its been 4 weeks of my second year already and it gets better everyday. This year's subjects are more technical (physics,structures...) but they are cool anyway, despite of them being online.
First year went as smooth as butter, i had great fun and learnt a lot (almost 40% of the year was online because of Covid but my teachers were able to give their classes properly) Let's see what comes next!! Thanks for asking :D
@@JavierGonzalez-vf6rr it's my fifth day tomorrow in school as an architecture student! hope my days go as smooth as yours, which country are you studying in?
Thanks for this amazing video!
This video helped so much thank you I'm only a freshman in high school and I've wanted to be one for a couple years, I'm taking cad right now and I love it, the level of creativity is so fun
Thanks for uploading this video! I've learnt a lot from this video. I've been dreaming of doing architecture!
I'm glad it helped. I wish you LOTS of luck :D
I think you inspired me even more to stream/ blog this process
YES!!! I wish I would have documented my story better.... But you have the opportunity to. Cool !
You're videos are awesome. I'm 17 years old and I'm in highschool, you have inspired me so much, thank you
Boy, I watched ALL of your videos in one go. I’m glad I found you before you reach a 100k :D
Really?! What an honor, thanks! You are too kind.
Great presentation on the subject.
Your video is clear and helpful, thanks!
I'm glad you like it! you're welcome :]
If you are businessman you can see an opertunity as an architect, you can compensate flats in big building instead of getting paid for smaller price and than build welth by passive income from them :)
This is what I'm talking about. There are soooo many ways to make extra money through architecture, it's just not through the traditional route and definatly not taught in school. Requires let's of thinking for sure. But that's a great point you make!
What do you mean by flats in big buildings?
I graduated from Architecture major and now I am a UX Designer! 😊
Wow! That's really great to hear. It would be cool, if you have time ofcourse, to talk a little about how/why you transitioned, and what the experience is like ; that way others can learn a bit from you!
What is a UX designer ?
@@segoku2172 UX = User Experience. They're the people who design the "flow" of a program for user comfort.

thanks dude for helping our thoughts 😁
I was wondering if architecture was for me, and then remembered when I saw this house and it was so beautiful I cried. So I think it’s for me. Lol
Are you working as an architect?
I am new to your channel. I am aspiring architect. Yay.
This really motivated me to work on it
I am in my final year of high school and your final grade here in my country decides the university you'll get into , there's only one test for each subject with no other chance to redo it , it's quite hard but I'll do my best
Thank you sir ❤️
Glad it helped out! I wish you lots of luck!
I'm 14 and I'm thinking about the future. I started to get interested in architecture at 12 and now I really like it. I wish to become an architect someday....
Good work man !
Studying Architecture is like learning to read music. To work in any design field, now, you got to learn to play the instrument.. Tools to help you get the music/design out ...
As an architect myself, I agreed with most of the stuff you are saying, will add one more to the cons: low pay and economically dependent.
Thank you sooo much, now I know for sure what university I will attend❤❤
You're welcome. Glad it helped ! 👍🍻
I'm 13 and going into high school at ASF in Mexico city and I just kinda randomly found architecture through the internet and was drawn to it because I already like to draw. then I got into the other aspects of it and now really like it.
A proud architect here! I kinda watch videos like this to motivate myself everyday.
Hey! Really cool to have you leave a comment here. Glad you enjoyed the video; I wish you lot's of positive vibes on your journey!

Barris my friend! Good to talk to you again. Missed you man!!!
@@Moochers I missed you too! I see that you zoomed passed me to 4,000 subs - congrats!!
Nice channel. Been an architect for over 30 years
I dont know if this is for me thoe. When I first heard about architect I was excited to learn about it but then I realise that I have to sacrifice friends family and pretty much most of my free time. Im still deciding on what to do for my career .
You don't have to sacrifice friends and family if you plan your time out correctly!
Same😢
Honestly there are a lot of careers were you "sacrifice" those things, every career has its pros and cons. I was thinking of switching from nursing to architecture, because I have always loved to draw. I guess the grass always looks greener from the other side
@@durazno6897 are you enjoying your time as a nurse? Im actually on the same situation. I have atleast 2 career options right now. Nursing or architecture. Im scared of architefture the most since i love spending time with my friends and family. and i dont want to abandon that
@@Moochers this is untrue if you are on multiple projects that basically require you to be in the office 12-14 hours a day including at least one day on the weekend. There is also the toxic unspoken trend of who can work the longest in the office. While it's true if you plan what you need to do effectively it's not that bad, but when the work piles up and you're scheduled for more hours than there are in a month it can suck tremendously. And that is where the sacrifices come into play.
Hey Mooch very new to the channel, enjoying the content so far-keep it up. I was wanting to see what advice you have for someone who is interested in Sustainable Architecture as a career choice?
One of your first points is about continuing learning about different spaces. Its my understanding after being in the industry for the last 3 years that is highly dependent on the firm you work for, likely you will learn about 2-3 areas of design. For instance, I work for a firm that does Churches and Schools, those are the primary things that we work on, beyond that every now and then we will work on a bank. However beyond that we do not work on other styles or areas of design. And this is primarily because of marketing. It is hard for a company to spread themselves out over a plethora of areas and styles, this is not productive for the company either. If you spend all your time spreading what you are learning about out over a multitude of subjects you won't be able to become proficient in one of them - thats just bad business.
I think if its really what you want, you would do everything to get it and make sure you are happy when you do it.
I want to be an architect when i grow up but i still don't know what exactly it is so ur videos made my path so much clearer!!
I'm happy to hear that!
Btw I love your content! Keep it up 💪
Thank you. Still in elementary school and deciding which school to go to
for those wondering the "ghost" photo in the art museum near the end, you just put a rly high ISO, fairly weak aperture, and slow shutter speed, something like 1/8
I’m about to binge watch all your videos
How did that go? 🤔
Thank u so much man
I never knew there was a label for my personality. I'm a renaissance man. Thanks!
Well i live in Ireland so its diffrent but i have 3 more years until i finish school up and depending on the points i will be able to go to an architecture college because architecture has been my goal for the last 5 years and your videos have been recently helping out thanks.
That's great to hear! I wish you luck on your goal :D
I´m 13 and I would like to be an architecture, since I was 11 and visited Barcelona in Spain. I find it fascinating
Great video thanks
It's really very informative and interesting..
Thanks
I'm studying Architecture at Uni in 3 weeks so excited!!
No way! that's so exciting! I wish you tons of luck, motivation, and success!
What a levels are good for architecture?
As an architect, the simple answer is NO! Passion can only take you so far before the reality crushes upon you.
Im an artist and im good at math, is architecture is ok to me?
Omfg really? Is it really that bad?? Wat other jobs/courses would u recommend? Is Mechanical engineering good?
Thankyou for your brutal honesty
Don't know if this is also what it feels in other industry in terms of practicality. But yeah, i agree with this one. It feels like i'm sacrificing too much for architecture for a little reward especially if you are not really that passionate like me. Don't get me wrong, i enjoyed the designing part, but the stress and time it takes is not really worth, not to mention the measly pay. I earn more in trading than that shitty pay.
@@formula1340 thank u for sharing ur experience! Glad I didn't pick architecture 😭 at first i was interested and im an artsy person but after a lot of research about the job and people's experience, i decided not to go with it. I just felt like I won't survive in architecture school and it'll not be worth it😔
Hey great video! I really loved all the shots from Panama City. I was just there a couple months back and I loved to skyline there. My questions to you is have you completed arch school? If so do you work in a firm?
Hey! Thanks for the compliment! Yes I graduated and I've been working for almost 4 years. Time flies.
I think this is definitely perfect for me.
I just have to get over my ego and start being more open even to math and numbers which is very necessary at the school I'm planning to go.
That's the right attitude !
i really like architecture even tho i’m just a kid i really like the process
If you Love what you're doing it isn't Bad, You choose it because that's what you want and this is what you think the Work that will make you Happy and No Regrets about choosing it.
Thanks..
Yeah I'm in 6th grade, but I'm, really into being a architect!
I have always wanted to be an architect since 4th and now I’m in 8th grade.
I’m on my way to design and imagine the future =3
You must still be in highschool, so...before you embark in the shi*show called architecture, search (multiple!) pratices in your city. Go there and talk to the (especially young) architects and ask them if they'd do it all over again knowing what they know now. I'd wager a significant number would tell you not to walk, but run away.
@@BarAlexCover the last 3 years I’ve been seeing a lot of ppl regretting it so I’ve decided to not follow it 😭🙏
@@ar_th good choice
Don't live with regrets and "what ifs" because of it. It's a waste of time and most architects I know either have quit, are quitting or still practice, but despise it.
I am proud to have the title Architect. A Chinese mentor in school cautioned us to not enter the profession unless that was the only thing you could do and be happy in life. For most of your life you will drive an older car, live in a smaller house, go through divorces and maybe lose your children, while engineers who have followed their focused path make twice as much. Architects are the last generalist to knowing something about everything and a lot about some things such as protecting life and property, human behavior, aesthetics and value.
Ill be honest I found my spark in the sims but that little spark has consumed me I'm obsessed with houses whenever I see a house I always imagine how I can do so much better or how the architect was not passionate I soon started doing some research and being an architect is literally what I want to do in life I don't mind doing projects or sitting in meeting but all I know is I want go to college move to LA and let life take it from there
Two points: Time. Wright wrote in the late 1800s (no kidding, he lived a long time) that it takes 10 years after school before anyone can "touch the belt of an architect". I graduated in 1979 so in my experience 10 was just about right so maybe it's closer to 12 today. This is because the complexity of the job cannot be taught, it must be experienced. Mistakes have to be made and worked through to completion. Dodging bullets is how architects learn. Fear is a powerful motivator. At around a decade of working in the real world, there will be an awakening, or perhaps you might call it an epiphany, at which point you will see the planets align and the whole 15 or so years will suddenly make sense. You will still have lots to learn but you won't be lost all the time. You will have command of a complex/comprehensive professional skill set that you can rely on in any situation. You won't be afraid anymore. You will be an architect. Money. This is the difficult part. Architecture is a "fee for service" business. The fees are fixed professional based on a market rate percentage of the cost of construction. This means that if you screw the pooch and go over budget, you ( or your employer) have to eat it. The way firms manage this is by over tasking the staff, working lots of overtime and then bringing in reinforcements at the end of the project. Not optimal for the worker bees but it seems to be the nature of the profession. Finally, architecture is a "feast/famine" business. When people are building (like now) there will be lots of opportunity, when they are not building (like the next year or two)you will have to have a fallback source of income, or live off of your savings...or move in with your parents:-) good luck you future architects!
I love this post! Thank you for providing your insight on the career - this will help out those who are looking for answers about what the career is like at a professional level. Thank you for taking your time to write this detailed reply!
architecture is fun for me 💜 I'm a 2nd year archi student btw.
That's the Soumaya museum in Polanco, Mexico City, in the thumbnail!
Yes! Have you been?
It also has a stable market like i can imagine demand for programmers getting less and less since literally everyone is learning it now
As long as you find joys in it, you'll be fine. Whether you want to pursuit it for the rest of your life or not, that time and process are still a treasure- for sure :). So dive in and find your answer!
I totally agree with "Good at everything, Master of none."
Hey Mooch ! I really appreciate your work, thank you for all the information you are providing ! In this video, you are saying that your past jobs were repetitive, so I am wondering if you studied architecture in the university ? If not, how did you become an architect whereas you didn't study for it ? I hope to have an answer, it will help me a lot !
Hey! You're welcome. I'm glad that you're enjoying the videos. I graduated and recieved a Masters Degree in architecture. The past jobs I'm refering to is when I was 16-23, I had jobs at places like banks and insurance agencies and they were non-creative and repetitive.
@@Moochers Thanks for your answer ? So you started studying architecture a bit "late" ? It wasn't a problem for you or for the university ?
@@BattlefieldCR7 No, I started studying at 18, right on time. But I've had to work since I was 16 while going to school because my parents weren't able to afford my school.
you really help me
I'm working, in fusing architecture/engineering the design, part of architecture with construction part of engineering with 3dprinting!
you forgot to mention: paying is ok (not the best), very long working hours, and death is not an excuse for not to meet deadlines 😂
Hey Mooch, I am a new subscriber! I’m slowly taking an interest in becoming an architect. I would like to request you make a video on how to become one. I would like to hear about the process during architect school and how you land a job after it. I’m asking because I want to ask help from someone who has been where I want to go. I’d really appreciate the information! Thank you!
Hey Carlos, the process of becoming an architect is different depending on where you are. Typically you need a bachelors/masters in architecture, internship hours then you need to take the exam. Where are you located?
I am in the US and also familiar with the process in the Philippines.
I like interior design and architecture
I think it is something you can only truely achieve if you really like the whole designing process.
Hi! I’m about to go into second year of architecture and was wondering what I could do outside my studies to help my CV or experience and also, how would you go about finding a placement/internship? Your videos are amazing! Many thanks!
Hey! Great questions. Competitions. Competitions show that you are interested, they help you think outside the box. They strengthen your ideas, help you learn about problems all around the world, they show that you are passionate about architecture. The list goes on and on. That, and also I suggest you hang out with those who are about to graduate and see what inspires them. Maybe that will spark some more inspiration in you and help you do some extracurricular activities that you can put in your CV / portfolios
Mooch Thank you so much for your advice!
Hello. I'm planning on studying Architecture next year and I was very hesitant about it but thanks to you, now I'm sure that I'll like it and enjoy it even though it has it's ups and downs.. However, I am not that good at drawing nor good at sketching and designing so idk if it's going to be an obstacle. Btw, do architects study subjects like math and physics or what? thank you
i cannot damn decide
Great video, here is a suggestion for upcoming videos :
-how is it like to work in an architectural firm and what are your tasks as an architect or as intern ?
Thanks for your suggestions! I already have your first suggestion in my to-do list but I'll try to incorporate your second suggestion in there somewhere. Thanks again!
@@Moochers That would be awesome, especially if you include like the reports you have to write and daily tasks you do. Good luck with your Channel
For those questioning a career in architecture, please consider speaking with a school counselor for career testing in addition to speaking with actual architects. The reason I am suggesting this is because they can help with exploring the variety of ways in which any particular degree can be applied.
I'm going to graduate this year in Architecture here in Italy, and just recently i had back that proudness, that sparkle, that "willing to do" kinda sensation that i've almost completely lost due to the extreme stress and workload i passed through in my University path; and this was possible -also- thanks to channels like this and similar ones.
Goooood job!
I'm glad these videos offered you some help. I know how you feel. I went through the same thing (and so did a few of my friends) during school. Some days we were super excited, and some days we would hate our career. As long as you feel joy some days, then you're on the right path. Good luck in the future! Ciao!
I’m at high school and I’ve taken technology design course for 3 years now (Grade 9 to 11) and been using AutoCAD and inventor 👌 it was worth it 😅
For next semester I switched Law for tech design.Do you guy use computer or u draw by hand.im terrible at drawing...
Jeez 375 both, we do prototypes first (sketching) then use computer design software 😊
Make a video of the cost of school and how much an architect can make. The pros and cons of it.
I’m going to be attending California Polytechnic State University this fall and will be pursuing architecture, as design has always been an interest of mine and I will be graduating from HS next month. I will admit I am a bit ignorant of how to truly become an architect, but how much knowledge would I need to have prior to attending university? Your video offered me a wonderful insight on how I can further my passion for my major, but I suppose I’m still anxious on whether or not I can achieve my goal.
That's awesome! Congrats on getting in! You'll learn a long the way. Everyone starts with doubt. Keep learning!
