I tried architecture school in 2010. I got accepted into an accelerated entry program where you complete the 1st year in one summer. It was so intense and I changed my major because of it. Fast forward through years of frustratingly purposeless call center and customer service jobs, I went back to school for a 1 year urban design program and graduated in July of 2019 and I am currently applying for MArch programs starting hopefully in August. I'm 30 years old which I still can't believe. I'm choosing to go back to architecture because I feel that I am a designer at heart and I really just want skills I can market toward a number or design related professions. This is my last attempt at going back to school and I hope the experience helps me see myself in a new light and I hope good things come from it.
I can totally relate tbh, im at home too and there is no workspace but my bed 😂😂😂 there is of course the kitchen table but I honestly cant use that as a studio alternative.
As a architecture student in Turkey,it's so beautiful to see someone living the same things like you.You're such a inspirational girl and i think you born for this :)) Thank you so much
Im in my 3rd year of architecture school, and i still suck. My design just meh, my grades also meh, and honestly speaking it's very hard for me for the last 2 years. In my 3rd year, which is right now, i felt that i need to improve & learn to enjoy this school.. but i feel so bad as i didn't take the lesson properly in previous years, and it affect my dreams to fully enjoy & improving my skill. It feels like ive never learnt architecture and suddenly i have to face 3rd year student's project. I feel so worthless. What should i do? I always feel like im not creative, only taking some design from pinterest and recreate it, very bad at drawing & modelling.. im so hopeless....... idk anymore.. i just want to improve my skill in architecture.. 😭😭
Hi Grace! I understand what you are going through as I am in that situation myself so I will tell you what I tell myself. You are in your 3rd year which means that you are fully capable of completing the projects as you have done in previous years. It takes years to learn anything let alone 'architecture'. Architects have to know a little about everything which is a lot. Do not be so hard on yourself. You are still an undergraduate. Your buildings are just projects as they are not being built tomorrow. You have plenty of time to learn the things you feel that you are lacking in. Instead, focus on the skills you do have and making them stronger. You are not hopeless Grace! You can do anything you want to do because you are Grace Marbun! Best of luck x
Great video as always 👍 It's going to help me a lot as I'm now working on graduation project ,that is an Olympic village in Egypt, I'm currently stuck on finding a good way solve the contour and the topology of the site in a way to create an interesting landscape with it.
Thank you so much :)! I don't know if it's relevant but I came across this project and thought to implement the landscape idea in my current design. Maybe it will inspires you: bit.ly/2JHEH3v
as you say its easy to measure from this building so am wondering to know how did you measured plan of the paradive building please letme know how i coud measure this building or any building i wnna know different space of this building thanks alot
Hello. I really enjoy your videos. I would like to ask about architectural presentation, that is being able to effectively present your work as an architect, to clients, lecturers, team et. I'm joining fourth year soon, that's why I ask. Thank you
Nice. Now there is a complete set of aircraft museum project in one video 😁. I am looking forward to more complete video of such projects.And yes your voice is back 🤭.
I just want to know how people make their designs structurally possible because even if I like a particular style and plan out according to it, I don't know the details of such construction, which ends up in giving up or unrealistic and technically vague projects. Which materials do you refer to, to understand most of the construction techniques out there even if not in very detail? Please answer 😔
I've been watching the channel for a while now but this video is kind of funny to me because I'm currently working on my thesis project, an aircraft museum. I've skethed, write and think so much about it that it's a bit all over the place and need to put it together. Is reassuring to see that your process wasn't linear because mine hasn't and is nice to know that I might be on the right track to something I could be proud of and that can represent my time studying architecture.
@@SurvivingArchitecture yea ... But I mean the research part like how you go about it . It may be helpful for people who are new to architecture. Background data I mean.
I can sit down and write all day about the importance of staying positive but I know that that might not be helpful when you are depressed. I think you should identify the root and the main causes of the depression and work slowly on those. Seek support from your friends and family as they all love you and wish you all the best. Lastly, if the depression is persistent, you need to contact a mental health specialist as I'm not equipped with the skills you need. If it means anything, I'm sorry that you are going through a hard time. I'm with you and we'll get through it.
Thank you for the interesting info. I got please one question, if you can answer or any other archi student that would be awesome! Talking about the design process and this to come up with process, I actually still struggle with that! Or else I end up doing the worst project. Well I am trying to get out of that, and I am trying to find my way out. But still can't find the answer on "How to come up with a Concept?" I keep having this question but no still can't find any answers. I hope I can get some help, tips or advice from you! Thank you in advance
Actually, one of my teachers used to say that the answer is in the site so your concept has to come by your site analysis. Something that is really particular about the site can lead you to an ideology, an art work, that will inspire the principal axe of your work. Once yku find that principal, strong idea, you got your concept. (Also, don't overthink it guys! 😅😅) I am not an expert, but that's how I go about it.
@@SurvivingArchitecture ahmmm the thing we do in design process.. 1st we'll do site Analysis, S.W.O.T analysis, based on this we do some zoning we do bubble diagrams... Are you getting what I'm trying to say?😅 Zoning as in how and where we are arranging given spaces (eg. For a house. Where we are giving living room, kitchen, restroom etc..) zoning of spaces given in program.

I'm 30 yo, and currently enrolled in Architecture .like you bro , I worked as a call center agent
So what happened. Did u do the course.
@@itsdw2323 34 years old here, hopefully finishing soon.
Hello Sir!
So what happened. Did u do the course.
"The design process is not linear". I cannot agree more! Even if I'd want it to happen instantly, my brain and mood would not allow it.
It is, you just travel through 100 dimensions :D
@@flashgames1273 this is so relatable lmao. The jumping between dimensions is just too real
Masha Allah I think i fell in love when i first saw your sketchbook :D!
Thank you so much 😀
I can totally relate tbh, im at home too and there is no workspace but my bed 😂😂😂 there is of course the kitchen table but I honestly cant use that as a studio alternative.
Same. Its way too cluttered for a laptop, papers and sketches 😂

I'm glad it helped!
Wow! You inspire me so much to do better on my projects. Thank you so much.
Hi Alisha, thank you so much I'm glad it inspired you! I think I already have it on the channel in my video for winning the awards x
Classical design is better than ugly deformed modern architecture and I'm also studying architecture.
Can you do a video for us about the known style of buildings like Roman and Greek one, and the special characters of the building
Will keep it in mind! Thank you

Do you use BIM authoring software?
No I don't. Not yet :)

What is your concept?
Yesssss " dont just work hard, work intelligent" :)
Thank u for this video🙆♀
You're most welcome!
Hey I would like to know about your research on projects.
I though that was the point of the video :)
@@SurvivingArchitecture yea ... But I mean the research part like how you go about it . It may be helpful for people who are new to architecture. Background data I mean.
nice
Thanks
You are quite good in explanation
Thank you!
Excellent! Keep it up 👏
Thank you!
Do you have an example of one of your Brief Analyses that you could share? This is a wonderful idea!
A little late but I hope its helpful: ruclips.net/video/2NqedVRPMkE/видео.html
I have a question concerning 3D paper modelling,
Where can I learn this concept? Having issues
Have you looked on Skillshare or RUclips as I'm not familiar with it?
Hlo mam
Thankyou :)
You are most welcome!
So, what you are doing is making a collage of others people projects to design yours.
Hmmm that's a simplification of the process but sure.
the editing is absolutely amazing
Thank you so much :)!
As always, this video is really beneficial Rasha.🙏🏻❤️
Thank you!
I am so thankful for your videos they are so inspiring, helpful and cheerful ❤
Happy to help!
Thank you for all your video.... it's help me a lot . I am from Ethiopia...!

Happy to hear that 💛
Nice 😍
Thanks 🤗
the 5:24 transition from the darkness of the render to the ground of the facade was *cheff kiss*

Hi!!! Is there any Site zoning process video?
If not, can you please make one....🙃
What do u mean by site zoning? ☺️

There's plenty of site analysis videos on the channel and will do bubble diagrams soon ☺️
I have a question. What was/is your hardest and easiest project?
Oh yh and why lol
❤️

Oh wow, nearly 100K will you do something special?
Thank you so much :)! Hmmmm maybe.. I don't have any ideas to be honest...
This is so helpful! thank you! which year in college are you in?
Thank you! I am doing my masters now in my final year :)
@@SurvivingArchitecture oh, That's great! you'll do well for sure...I mean look at your work :D
the key word is "innovative", especially here 5:24 xd (this is the shot of Sancak Mosque in Istanbul by Emre Arolat)
Have you been?
@@SurvivingArchitecture I have, took me a while to find it tho. Its really far away from center, but totally worth it
Omg the most awaited video is here😍 Love you for this❤
Thank you!
Architecture school is the worst. Even the architecture is ugly.
Great video, as always.
Would you be able to provide a more detailed overview of how you approach brief analysis (points 1-7 at 3:25) ?
Sure thing!
Woah, that Libeskind part looks so lit 🔥🔥🔥
Which part exactly? hehe
Damn I wish I watched this earlier in the semester 😩
You've got it now for future semesters!
@@SurvivingArchitecture thank you for the awesome content 👏🏽
