    The requirements to be an Architect extends way beyond being able to draw an object. Compliance with Standards, regulations, ordinances, planning conditions, site conditions, social and cultural contexts, budgets, work health and safety, structural resilience, industry constructional conventions, ecological and sustainable building materials and processes, energy efficiency, embodied energy considerations....etc.etc This is on top of the visual artistry and functional efficacy and balancing a clients personal desires and needs.

    I am a newish concept artist for mainly for game, film, and animation; and in my field we have to wear many hats designing everything from plants, clothing, vehicles. furniture, cities, to individual buildings as well as the story(props) of the lives that live in them, and often times these need to be built in the real world; so it is really wonderful to have videos like these from specialists in each field, I don't know what I'd do without you

  • @dobby220995

    okay, i am currenty thinking about becoming an architect, i love beautiful architecture, and it is something i imagine will become more and more interesting the more i learn, but i have so many fears about it... questions like; am i creative enough? innovative enough? observant enough for this kind of work? i see incredible structures all over the world, not just the historic and extravagant structures, but also the modern ones, they come from so incredibly talented people and i do not yet have the confidence to say that one day i will be that good...
    I am a pretty good drawer, and i love it, but i am a copy machine, i can draw a close to perfect replica of a picture of someone or something, but every time i try to create something new, i never know where to begin, what to draw, and it feels like my creativity has disappeared... And also, i am afraid of doing work where other peoples futures are in my hands (one of the many reasons why i will never be a doctor), if for example i create a house that seems fine enough on paper, but when it is time to live in it, the layout will be unsatisfying or impractical, and because of that impractical solution, it will be difficult to renovate the house, or to sell it, and therefore they are stuck with an unsatisfying and impractical house for the rest of their life...
    i may be overthinking things though...

      Instead of copying, try to get inspired by it instead, that being a house or an anatomical drawing. Take elements from the reference and twist them the way you want. And I think that with your growing interest in architecture, creativity, and originality will follow. And I think this will happen if you follow the first part of this comment about "copying".
      I'm not speaking from experience, I'm just 18 and working on my way to one day becoming an architect.

      I felt the EXACT same way when I was first looking into an education in to architecture. I decide to go to school for architectural technologist, if you do not know the difference basically you work for an architect, and produce drawings and working plans for the architects design. So far I love the program but sometimes I wish I went the route to become an actual architect, and what I have learned was even though you feel like you might not be creative enough, you learn so many things in school that inspire you, I use to not know where to start when drawing a building and now ideas will flow through my head when starting a project.

    Fallingwater also showed that architects are not structural engineers :) Wright tried to play engineer and the building has been a maintenance nightmare ever since :) Not knocking it, just reminding young architects to make sure you get a good contractor to work with. Everyone do what they are good at and the project will be a success.

      +Artisan Construction, LLC im planning to become an architect, soon going to university (hopefully) and i have quite a large knowledge of structural and material science. Being an architect does not mean that you are a structural engineer, but it doesnt mean you arent one either ;)

      He is just envious of architects because we have imagination and get all the really good looking women. Contractors are like children playing with a kit of parts with there large scale lincoln logs and legos. Architects study structural engineering. Contractors read blueprints.

But watching this made me feel a little more at ease, and making me think I really want to be an architect.

    I watched all 7 episodes but don't think I heard the word "cost" or "budget" mentioned. I understand you might be hesitant to discuss family finances but surely you had a target cost for this project? The "details" like siting the house mid-slope and requiring a graded driveway down the hill from the access road must have added huge expense - but that doesn't seem to have factored into the design considerations.

I worked with an engineer I've used in the past in the New York area. I currently mention him in my newest book available at The Architect's Academy, but don't have permission yet to globally throw around his name. We still have lots of work to do if the project ever gets further than Design Development.

    I am an Architectural Designer. I went to College for 3 years and am now what they call a CET (Construction Engineering Technologist). This means I am educated and trained to go into just about all jobs related to Construction (ie: estimator, site supervisor, project coordinator, and yes, designer in architectural buildings such as commercial and residential). I work for a builder, responsible for drafting up all the plans. it is fun, pays 35K but could run up higher. hope this helps :)
