As a child, with no interest in the architectural world, I somehow find your videos extremely interesting and enlightening.
I think you just like how beautiful she is
this is so much easier to understand then my class thank youuuuuuu😭❤️
love Professor Perri! the breakdowns are so much easier to understand and very fun, it makes studying less daunting
Thank you so much girl! Interior design girly here! Ive been struggling so much with reading floor plans and measurement this has helped me so much. 😅🙌
Great video! Very informative and helpful. Thanks! :)
okay this was actually really interesting wow
the fire place in the background was a great touch
This was super helpful and a great crash course. Also, I could not find much on RUclips where the architect actually used old buildings like churches as examples and that is EXACTLY what I wanted. I have been looking at English country home's architectural drawings and was having trouble with some aspects of them. THANK YOU! If you ever post more about old buildings, especially Georgian/Regency Era buildings I will totally watch those too! P.S. I like your idea of comparing old cathedral floor plans with photos of the actual building.
Yay!!! I’m so glad this helped you out!!!
🎉 Thanks So Much for the Breakdown.
I Love to get more of this Kinds of Videos
Wow you did great with this presentation! 😘
I found this to be sooo cool, helpful and intriguing!
P.s. I Love your eyes + hand writing 😍
Great job! This is really helpful and very clear explanation. Can you please upload more reading plan video like this? mechanical , electrical, elevator, Hvac etc . Thank you!!!
Oh my GOSH, i understand now. Thank you so much for making this video
My daughter is 11 and learning about architecture for homeschooling. She loves your channel 💓
This is great! Very clear explanation! Thank you!
You're very welcome!
Good job expalining basics. Please make more.
Thank-you so much for the help!!! omg this saved me!!!
Great video! Thanks!
you have a soft and very gentle voice! sweet and lovely!
Hey, just wanted to leave a comment saying this is a beautiful video. I'm studying basics of floorplans for my D&D game, need to make a few maps, and thought I could use a little basic info: this was perfect!
Wow great exlanation.. loved it. FUTURE Architect..
Jeez woman thanks for all the videos! can't believe I am just now seeing your channel, I've been looking everywhere for a year and only found builders :P
Our class just watched this video for HVAC blueprinting and we LOVE your detailed explanations and the enthusiasm and excitement in which is contagious. Thank you so much!
Awesome! Thank you for watching this comment made me smile(:
Perfect loving it, thanks about that but can you please make a video of how architects start to design a house what exactly happens and who tells them what to do on the plan it would be awesome. Thanks ❤️
I love thissss thanks girl
Very accurate information 👌...nice vedio!
We are building now on top of a mountain facing the Pacific Ocean in the Philippines. Tks for sharing.
Sounds great! Hope this helps!
Thankyou for this! It was really helpful
Happy to help!
Great job
I think it’s important to understand the full role of an architect, and steer away from “architects makes things pretty” because that is not the case. Architects are responsible for making spaces functional, while catching the eye of the inhabitant(s) by making the structure aesthetically pleasing.
Thank you so much for sharing this....!!! I am working in real estate and learning as much as i can.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much 💖💖💖💖
A little late watching this video, but you explained this perfectly!
Thank you for your teachings miss beautiful.
Civil Engineer here.
It's my pleasure
hola i was wondering if you can do floor plan for a garage conversion in california
Oh my gosh. thank you so much for helping me understand how walls and windows looks like in the floor plan. I'm a Mechanical Engineering student in the Philippines, and I'm currently taking airconditioning system and design subject. Our prof gave us a quiz about heat load, and we needed to compute for the area of partitions. The glass walls are included in the computation and we don't have any idea about how glass walls and concrete walls looks like. It really makes me depressed.. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with students like me. 😭
Thank you for your understanding vid I still didnt quite understand it being "fresh off out the sea" and getting a understanding to it... my main goal is to understand the floor plans and find out ways to improve it is what kind of job I am looking for. I'm still deciding which route I want to take and structural engineering looks like it is but which employment is it that allows you to go over the floor plans and correct them before they set out with the project?
This was really a good video compare to what I was watching.
Good explanation of a Plan with in limited time.. You have a good way to understand someone with practical knowledge and experience Works 👍
@@UnravelingArchitecture Need your email for further details about this information because iam also a civil engineer fresher 😁
Thank you 🙏 that was really good
Glad you liked it! I hope it was helpful!
this is so much easier loud and clear to understanddd, very big help before creating my first floorplan thankyouuuu sooo much gorgeous 😭❤️❤️
btw im from 🇵🇭
Yay!! Happy to help out!!!(::
Thank you so much very well explained
Glad it was helpful!
Hi, great video. What advice would you recommend someone trying to understand and identify non compliant floorplans using a DCP from your local council??(Development control plan) as we call it in Sydney, Australia.
Amazing video, do you have any videos about "structural edition." like on what to expect and fix from the architectural drawing ?
Qué buen programa! Desde Paraguay lo veo.
It helps if you tell what type of tablet, and which programs you are using. Looked like apple tablet, and you did day Revit likely for one plan. But you know there are so many choices that people are looking for that too. Good video
Thank you so much for taking the time to do this! It was SO helpful! Could you do a tutorial on how to draw a floor plan on paper?
Great suggestion! I hope to compile a video on this soon!
@@UnravelingArchitecture Oh my goodness that would be amazing! Thank you! ❤
Thanks a lot
You are so helpful, lol thank you!!
I'm so glad! Happy to help out as always(:
Very helpful
Good explanation. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video, I am a current interior architecture design student and taking a construction documents class, I have a quick question what are legends and demolition plans? I know it wasn't covered in the video just curious what they are :)
hi,do you have a video about symbols or types of lines to be used? I just want to know how to present object under another object? Like for example the kitchen top and how can i show the cabinetries under it? or how to show that this is 12" overhang for kitchen island?
thaaank you soooooo much
This was awesome
I hope it helped!
Very informative and entertaining .You Bieng a superbaddie is definitely the 🍒 on top as well. TY for being you!!
Oh thank you!(:
Very good your video👍
This is my most beautiful tescher this far♥️
you're so sweet, Jane! Thank you(':
Understanding units of measurements is important (metric system used to display all dimensions in METERS (3.5 meters are shown on the drawing like 3.500)
Great!
Could you help out with Cement/Concrete foundation for floor plans? If not ,any other good channels to help?
PLEASE TELL ME ON WHICH APP WERE U DRAWWING ? MEANS WITH THE PEN TOOL MAKING GREEN LINES WHICH APP??
The thickness of the walls in the floor plan takes into account the thermal system, i.e. wall isolation?
What are the thick black boxes on the outside and inner side of walls. Iv been seeing em on alot of floor plans and dont wanna miss anything
Thanks nice
Awesome vid!
Hope it helped!
Program, app, pen? Great work!
What type of tablet are you using for that plz tell me...
Hello , I just watched your channel and find it very interesting. I just subscribed to your channel. Please keep up the good work
Thank you! Will do!
What tablet are you using?
What books can I use to study floor plans
Your background noise gives me the chills.
On the first drawing the only dimensions you get are like (17-6 x 16-0). I just started learning floor plans in CAD and I’m seeing these types of dimensions as well, i don’t understand them. Can you explain pls?
Finally 😭
this really interesting do you think you can give us some exercises that you will correct to understand better? it will be lovely Dear
I am training in this stuff it seems like its a lot to get and going to take a while
No hablo inglés y no entendí nada
Pero es el video más lindo que e visto 😍
How long have you been reading plans?
*watches video once and thinks I'm an architect*
Seriously though this was well put together. It felt like you were rushing a bit at the end but that's just me. Ultimately I'm just here to watch your vids (any and all of them). On another note, based on the comments I'm glad to know automotive technicians aren't the only ones that bash on engineers haha. Two different types of engineering (civil and mechanical) but same type of "criticism," for lack of better words. I know that as a mechanical engineer (and engineers in general) we have to make things efficient, reliable for the user, and environmentally friendly. The final design outcome depends on the design goal/priority and the tech available at the time. Also also, I liked your look in this vid (random fyi (: ).
@@UnravelingArchitecture Yeah that is about right with my field. Engineers have to also be creative but in short, the idea has to be practical. Haha yeah there's a lot of applied physics but for me that's what makes it cool. Knowing how something physically works and being able to improve it by means of math, simulations, and testing (vs guessing/trial and error). I didn't see the intro as controversial but like you said there are definitely those side comments out there. My dad is a mechanic and I have friends that are also mechanics so I hear the general stereo type comments here and there. So I know what you mean haha.
You're welcome, but I will say it did distract me from realizing Brutus wasn't in the background
So question how do u find out the heights of the walls ? I have a set of plans for a addition But There is no info on the heights of the walls ?????
I would love to be thought more
Where did u got theses PDFS?
Hey is there any way i could learn how to draw to scale and print to scale in auto cad or revit as its all very confusing to me and how to export to PDF to scale and export to scale in Photoshop and print to scale in Photoshop please help
Hi Natalie! Glad to see you're recovered from COVID. Can I ask five follow up questions please?
1. @4:41 Why would the swing angle of a closet door be less? Do you mean that the closet door won't swing out fully?
2. @8:01: What does "this arc shape was designed to match the turn radius of these cars" mean? That design doesn't feel intuitive.
3. Please simplify @12:20? I don't understand the curves, and what the red outline means.
4. Clearer floor plans would improve your video. Can you analyze the floor plans in www.amazon.com/Architecture-Today-Houses-Manel-Guti%C3%A9rrez/dp/8499369715, because it contains, complicated, floor plans of fancy but good-looking houses, along with pictures of the houses and elevation drawings. As you advised, we must practice, but we must crank up the difficulty of the floor plans. I'm reading this book now. UPenn's library must have a copy?
Hey there! Great questions:
1. drawings need a sense of hierarchy. If you look at closet or a pantry door in your house, chances are they are slightly smaller. I typically drawing existing swing angles at 45 degrees and new doors at a 90degree angle for instance. The degree you draw your swing at really does not affect if it "swings out" fully. It will!! It just depends on how you draw it!!
2. Hahah yes, this is a Le Corb house. Le Corb did a lot for the modernism movement in architecture. Le Corb studied his cars there, and calculated the ideal turn angle. The level 1 of this house was designed so you can gracefully just swing around the arc of the building and park you car, then head right upstairs. He was really experimenting with the flow of circulation in that building, and you can see that even with his extensive usage of his ramping systems in a lot of his projects!
3. the read outline is the section. I was trying to show how a plan and section work together. A section is almost like a slice of cake. A plan is a transverse cut, lifting the roof off, and you have a bird's eye view to below! But both the plan and section will always always work hand in hand! You almost get a wire framed building if you were to connect the plans and sections together.
4. I cannot analyze plans in that book due to copyright laws and I don't want to get sued (lol). But I am making another floor plan reading video! Any specific building types you want me to look at?
Wow thank you too much
No problem 😊
@@UnravelingArchitecture you are welcome
You are really preety like Architectures Asthetic View
I just started to be an estimator. It seems like a lot of stuff. I hope I will get it
Do you teach a private online class
should i watch ur videos or your eyes lol. GREAT WORK 😍
haha awh im blushing thank you!
❤
I learned about doors and walls now I'm.a painter and need to know how to read them. Teach me about all the numbers on the outsides
There are several wall types
WT-01 could stand for wall tile 01, depending on how the architect drew it. Whatever abbreviation was used, correlates to a finish that could be found in your finish schedule.
Numbers also found in different parts of your documentation could also signify different wall compositions. FX-XX (Xs are placeholders) the F typically stands for a furring wall for instance..
If it’s SX-XX, the S typically stands for stud wall. But this isn’t necessarily universal. Moreso up to the preference of the architect who drew it.
I can’t really tell if that answered your question cus there was no really good description of what specific numbers you’re referring to. But hope that helps
hi, can you help e find structural drawing of the outer walls of the twin towers. i just cant find them anywhere for my physics class.
Power of thumbnail 😂😂
what -program is she using?
hi, can you please tell me how to just understand simply how many floors in the building as a real estate agent?
Floor plans do not indicate how many levels total are in a building. You’d need to look at a section dwg or elevation dwg. The most floor plans indicate is what level you’re on
Ok I am trying but my mathematics is too weak and very difficult to understand anyway thanks for your information 🙏
references at 4:05??
Plz go into teaching❤️
A good architect will care about how it works and will design it to stand up and function, not just look pretty. Thats why the training is 7 years. But make sure they are actually an architect (which is a legally protected title like Doctor) not a designer, who is not required to have any skills experience or qualification. Structural engineers will only design understand how the structure works. Mechanical and Electrical Consultants will work on the heating, ventilation and lighting. The architect is the lead consultant who pulls it all together.
I love your eyes
