Can Architects work online / remotely (not only in the time of a pandemic)? | ProArchitect

- I have been talking about remote work for quite a while now and I have been a big proponent of it. I try to be location independent for most of my work and I think everyone should be able to. For some reason, the building industry has been very conservative when it comes to this subject. Why? Are there any real reasons for it?

Remote working ??
Baby boober - Impossible!
Gen x - Very difficult !
Millennial - Yes can be done !
Gen z - What is office ?
I'm DEAD
I think you're bang on. The only part of our job that can't be done remotely is Site Review and Construction. This is a paradigm shift, as it was when we moved from hand-drafting to CAD. Adopt it NOW so that you're not the last one holding the bag.
I am currently running my own Architectural firm remotely and it has developed into a satellite office since the pandemic started.
Please can l work for you remotely
Can I apply for work remotely in your firm?
I'm doing my thesis at home. The universities preach that the best way to Design is and always will be a physical 3d model - I am glad that I can most likely cut that part out of the curriculum for now. However I think the general richness of the projects will most certainly suffer from the isolation, because those tiny interaction between students is missing and the discipline of continuous work might be a few percentiles lower.
Thanks for the video
In the small architecture company I work for, it's the confidentiality of the data that prevented the office from choosing remote work.
The boss is still, as many of his generation, not aware of paradigm shift that occurred in the last two decades.
Let us not forget the positive environmental impact this situation has created and ask ourselves can we morally justify returning to many of those unnecessary commutes once the virus is under control? The technology and tools are available, it is the outdated business model that cannot connect a fragmented industry to efficiently facilitate these changes. The last recession created the environment for a wave of new start-ups that changed many industries beyond recognition. The AEC industry has seen new platform business models emerging and Covid-19 and other global challenges will create the perfect storm for better systems with more specialist roles able to accommodate location and time independent working.
Great to see you back on our screens by the way.
We just changed our practice to remote offices in our homes and it's working awesome. You 100% need the right programs and company policies, but in many ways we feel more efficient and communicate better now that we did in an office for the past 21 years.
The work can be done via online mode subject to conditions that, the employees need to be properly trained how to function efficiently. The project needs to be divided into pockets and needs attention from the concerned departments involved. Final configuration to be done by the lead team member.

Architect student here, for the past two days I had classes by using zoom and it’s better than I expected. Although my experience might be better than most because I’m in the correct time zone and I have an isolated office at home to focus in.
Which University are you studying from?
University of TN Knoxville
Poor Christina sure got a mountain of work dumped on her...just automate the shop drawings for every window in this crazy structure. She deserves a bonus! 😆
Architecture is a branche of design applied to building industry.
For historical and cultural reasons, in France at least, the architecte is expected by the regulations to fulfill the roles of project manager, product manager, CFO of the ad hoc conglomerate of construction companies besides his core role of designer.
In other branches of industry the role of the designer is better defined and the work flow with other professionals is smooth.
Architects should stop hiding behind regulations or insist on fulfilling roles they are not fit for.
They should offer the value no other can offer by focusing on their core competence of design and their humanities background. They should work in symbiotic ways with engineers, project managers and others to make bigger cakes instead of battling over portion size of a shrinking cake.
Same in Latvia.
Also there a few like me and you who are willing to learn new things and grow. There are many more that don’t want to grow and still can’t use BIM. I work with someone who can’t even xref in cad!
what about freelance architects?
GIVE THIS MAN A NOBEL PRIZE.
anyone who doesn't agree with this idea will be left in the dust eventually. this is most certainly the inevitable future for most industries. how will firms with gigantic physical overhead costs be able to compete with smarter firms who have eliminated, rent, insurance, cleaning staff, alarm systems, water, hydro, gas, furniture, computers, etc..... as in life the dinosaurs will die off.
I believe it is possible and it will be more common in the next few years, but it really depends of the organizational culture of the company and it is very very hard to do it using software there aren't structured to do this kind o thing. There is, of course, cheap software that with good organization and skilled people this became easier, like grasshopper, but again the problem is the skilled people which is very few, computational design in most companies are a separated branch of the office with very few people, who "have" to be controlled by some boss or something like that.
and by the way. i love all of your videos and wish you would make more.
So far in my experience, the remote work does not seems to be working, expecially more design type work as opposed to documentation or design development. The reason is the hierarchy of production and the fact that there is a person at the top who needs way more control over every minutia of design which cannot be rectified over a couple of meetings. In fact I found that working with people on my level is way less frictionless than working with my boss. It's a control thing, efficient control cannot happen remotely although it might not scale or be applicable to other firms I'm just going off my personal experience in a relatively small firm.
yes, if you can work alone for your boss. and meet your boss once awhile with your laptop to update the work.
no, if you are working in a group and everysingle member does not have the same level of computer skill. most architects (even young) in japan especially have low computer skills in general.
the learning curve is too long and will cost too much to adapt to a new design system for a small architect firm. they also do not have money and knowledge to do remote computing.
I’ve missed your videos man ! I totally agree. Why do we have to use BIM 360 to collaborate remotely but google doc can be worked in with a third party extension for example.
did not pay attention to the first 42s because i was too distracted by the Alan Turing and Bruce Lee posters at the back
Po english “akcent” Srbin vidi se iz aviona :) Good job👍
Can you help me get a remote architecture job?
No
