Developing the Architectural Concept - Architecture Short Course (Part 2)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 апр 2017
- Developing the architectural concept into floor plans, designing the form, and refining the spatial ideas are all covered in part 2 of our architecture short course.
The first step in making the abstract concept real is to sketch a floor plan and then give that plan a three-dimensional form. A floor plan is a quick way of describing the hierarchy and relationship of spaces and it begins fixing their real physical dimensions and shapes. Throughout the design process architects must continually consider the design in both the plan, or overhead view, and the sectional, or volumetric view. The easiest way I’ve found to do this is to begin by sketching a plan and then construct a three-dimensional version of that plan either in model form or by sketching.
In order to get to three dimensions, we have to make some decisions about form, space, and order. When we speak about form we’re referring not only to a building’s shape but also to its size, scale, color, and texture…basically, all the visual properties of an object. Form has a direct relationship to space in that it influences both interior and exterior rooms. And lastly, order is how we choose to orient and relate the forms and spaces to each other. This directs the inhabitant’s experience of a place.
We'll review strategies for refining the floor plan, designing meaningful building forms, editing, and converting two-dimensional abstract concepts into three-dimensional buildings.

Learnt more from this video than I ever did during my first three years in university.
whoa. good and bad i suppose...!
same here. three years of arch undergrad is all about history and theory. my peers and I are always helpless when it comes to the studio time.
your channel is a department of architecture on youtube
kind praise...many thanks!
I wish that your channel would show the fusion type of architecture & engineering with 3dprinting like the possible creation of buildings & the possibility bridges & roads the typical things that can be fusing them with 3dprinting!
absolutely AGREEEEE
Each of your videos teaches us more than my college teachers tought us, combined every year.. And i am in 3rd year... Love what you do. Keep making these videos....
i hope you realize how much these videos are helping architectural students to keep up with this race of creativity.......i dont know why i am paying these dollars when the real material and learning part am doing is for free.
My Architect teacher makes us take notes from your videos and with the notes we take we have a test on every Monday.
+NathanFilmz are you serious? curious to know where you're at -uni or h.school and his name...
Yeah, I'm literally taking notes on your video right now. Im in Woodrow Wilson High School, Architectural Design 1-2, 9th grade, and his name is Jackson, Jeffrey L.
So...I'm actually your teacher then...
Your assignment: take the rest of the week off...no homework...no tests...just make things.
Completely serious. If you focus on things that matter - rather than tests - you'll go far.
Because some teachers dont care about your future. they only talk.
@@30by40 This is so important!!!!
Don't know why you don't have so many people looking at your videos! You are just awesome! Thanx a lot! :))
cheers +Abdul-Aziz Thabit ...liking and sharing helps me spread the word...thanks for watching!
all architects are sleeping in the day cause of the work in the night.
Thank you!
As an architecture student, these are pearls of wisdom.
I know this video is getting old, but I always like to look back into your videos for simple quick ideas that really hit the nail on the head. Currently working in second year studio and I look to you and outside resources for some extra knowledge.
Thank you Eric for great videos and great shortcourse ! I've just found out about your channel and been following this great shor course! I am a structure engineer, looking forward to study architecture. I found your video very helpful and educating. I myself found hardtime looking for an architect mentor and architect books that can explain me well about architecture. But your short course will do!
Right now i've reached your 2nd part of short course. I even wrote all your tutorials in a notebook! I just want you to know that this course means a lot to me. Thank youu !
My professor recommended us this video. Thank you so much. This is very helpful.
This video series is fantastic! I love seeing a project through from start to finish.Also the art and design aspect involved brings the project that much more to life and I love it all. Thank you for sharing!
thanks +moardub...i've always enjoyed episodic vids myself, glad you're enjoying it so far...
been watching you for years and i love you so much
Honestly, you make me fall in love with my work by helping me make sense of it, thanks a lot. Keep the videos coming.
+Annam Irfan kind words...many thanks...
Im a Kenyan architecture student😊 your videos help a great deal!!!
in the beginning, it reminded me of my scetches of my future home.
each level of the home was scetched at least three times with the exception of the third level, I think I drew it up four or five times before I got it right.
Depuis le temps que je regarde vos vidéos je suis heureux de voir mon pays la Nouvelle-Calédonie dans vos exemples d’architecture (centre culturel Jean-Marie Tjibaou par l’architecte Renzo Piano). Merci pour tous vos conseils
Eric simply put. It is a treat each week to watch your insights into architecture. Your videos are very inspiring and you have a gift not only in architecture but in public speaking. You are clearer than most of my professors. Keep up the excellent series and look forward to the next one. P.s. Your sketches are amazing, this is the level I strive for.
kind words +Jeff Rice many thanks...
+30x40 Design Workshop also, i just want to add that my professors recommended us to watch this and part 1 and it really did help me because it's still my first and im still having trouble with developing concepts. so kudos to you Eric!!!
I’m researching about spatial organization and how to make a 3D form for my assignment and youtube took me here 😅 You just wrapped my two semester in one video!
Thank u so much, this is my final year and those 2 videos helped me alot 💙
8:44 love this detail!
I start to think like an architect because of you .Thanks
A really interesting course, I love it. The best course on concept ever.
kind words...many thanks +Salma Chikhaoui...
Finally! Thanks for another awesome and insightful video Eric!
hope it was worth the wait +ryan gentles ...
thanks for supporting the channel...cheers...
apriciate your efforts for new genration Architects.
I really enjoy you're videos, great content.
I really love these videos . They helped me a lot while I remodeling my house in Houston this past winter. Great job !!!
*was remodeling ...
Another great post Eric. Your methodology really resonates with me (as someone returning to design at 45). I begin study next month and consider subscribing to your channel as a mentorship. Thanks.
thanks for subscribing...cheers...
Your videos are truly informative and helpful...
I enjoyed watching and got great encouragement from this video
I am currently working on a house design where the client has limited financial resources. At initial briefing meeting we have decided to stick to one simple form, something along the lines of your gabled farmhouse example. The site is in rural Ireland in a farming community. It might sound like a very constricting brief but in actual fact it is making me look at how I will arrange the accommodation within the simple volume very carefully. It also prevents me from coming up with ideas that I know from the outset will never materialise. I suppose what I am trying to say is that we don't always have the luxury of an expanded brief and therefore a more sophisticated and layered approach like your example. I will instead have to concentrate on how I realise the design of the spaces contained within a simple volume.
Thank you, kind sir. Your videos are very informative, it helps me to change my style and thinking when designing.
best mentor ever.
You are awesome!! Thank you so much for all these videos, they´re really helping me out to reconsider some established concepts on the design process that I got wrong. Thanks again!
+Alexander Nikolaus fantastic, glad it's helping to clarify things...cheers...
Your videos never fail to start the fire in me to do architecture. Just amazing and inspiring! :D
|m|
fire + trace = good architecture or charred studio
glad I could help...be safe out there...
Thanks so much for all these courses! I'm also a New Yorker in my second year of architecture but I'm here in Argentina.. your lessons help me a lot! I try to include your name in my work and tell friends about this channel bc everything is very very clear and clearity is something we don't get much from our professors lol
kind words...it's nice to hear you're finding value here...
...many thanks for spreading the word, likes and subs are what help me grow the channel...!
I really like your videos! It's like a class but better. Continue a great work. Cheers from Mozambique-Africa
cheers João Carlos Pardal Castelão great hearing from you...!
Good evening sir my name is Emanuel hembrom i am from India I am very excited to see your video it's SO helpful for me because I am also become an architecture.. And again thank you for this video prity much cool..
Thank you for another great video! Great content many architecture students struggling with design concept will benefit from your videos.
you're quite welcome...it's a good reminder of basic principles for me too...
Your video's always inspire me to be more creative on my future home project. If only i was an architect myself so i could get the ball rolling! Never a dull video and they are just filled with information!
...cheers +Zach Bessette...thanks for watching...
Hi, I’m new in your vlog, no knowledge at all…living in Virginia…have a land that is 2.7 hectare in Philippines that I’m planning to learn on how to plan and design a small resort…just gathering knowledge about how to plan in the meantime…thanks for sharing, looking forward to learn more from you.
Awesome video good job sir Keep going
This is helpful for we the students thanks
i love learning from you mentor Eric!:)
+Godfrey Tranquilino kind words...many thanks...!
Great video! Looks like you are a fan of Peter Zumthor's book 'Atmospheres'. Really like your videos and how you explain, actually is easier understanding you than my Design teacher! Cheers!
thanks José Esteban Heredia Quijada...glad you're enjoying the series...
big Zumthor fan...critical regionalism a major influence too...
cheers...
Jose,this is one of your professor,wait till I see you in class!!!!!!
hi i tried to understand your conversation but i cant understood can a get in simple form
Fantastic videos! They've been super helpful... appreciate the hard work!
cheers...glad you're enjoying them...
Wonderful.
Terrific information Eric. After asking about your editing process earlier, it felt like a class room for one. Engaging. Looking forward to the next installment.
glad I hit the right points +CGwerx...thanks for watching!
I love this channel. 😊
Love it! Enjoying your videos keep it up, I'm learning so much.
cheers mate...

I really appreciate for u because I learned a lot of experiences and skills of design that not in school, look forward to more awesome videos to helping us who is passionate to the architecture. Thanks a lot!!!
+王泽宁 cheers my friend, you're most welcome!
Thank you so much in doing these videos! You've helped me a lot!
fantastic to hear, thanks!
Very helpful! Loved it!
Keep making videos.
glad you enjoyed it...
Here I am following the track of Part I, likewise, this part 2 is also fit to the purpose and spoken with no complicated terms yet precise. Thank you again, excellent video, I´ll share it
you're quite welcome...
hello, could you share the link of part 1?? thxx
Very helpful. Thanks a lot for sharing. cheers!!
cheers +aj mckoy!
Thank you Eric!
absolutely...thanks for watching...
Muy bueno :) Thanks!
Great Video !
Would be great if you could do a video on costing of different building structures and more detail into the differing variables.
Thanks insightful
I very much appreciate this post.
and I very much appreciate you watching and commenting...it does help me to grow the channel...
Didn't know Tom Waits was into architecture and providing top notch quality content. Keep it up
+Ali Elyounoussi thanks (I think?)
I find these very informative video's and tutorial's. I have started to develop a sketch book for myself based on them as I find the information invaluable to refer back too. Would it be possible to post in the link description the link to the following video to view in the series? I am struggling to find the correct one to follow. Keep up the good work!
been wathcing ur video and it all very informative and helpfull. am an interior designer who wanted to learn more about architecture without going to college since am always bad in college, do you have any book suggestion to learn architecture ? maybe like a theory or anything about architecture ? thanks
Awesome video really insightful keep doing them and many thanks.
cheers my friend...
i'm 1st year architecture student
i have learned a lot from ur channel
thank u so much for sharing ur knowledge one day i hope that i will have the ability to share it too
teaching reminds us to be students...it's quite a rewarding reciprocal relationship...
You are super amazing .
Hi. I really like the way you explain things... Recently found about your channel... The vedios are really helpful... Can you also make a vedio of incorporating organic shapes into designing structures, the process to final design giving a very small structure example, structure resembling cluster of soap bubbles or crumbled paper... ( also With parametric facade designing). Please i d like to learn more about it. I hope I ll get a little help. Thank you.
This is actually so helpful! I was stuck with a weird(but really fits my concept which is fabric-like, hyperbolic memberane stuff) form and just could not move on to produce any real detailed drawings. And we are gonna have a mock up review tomorrow. I was so frustrated until I saw in this vid that I should let go the form and start with plan and experience to develope the form later on. Though I think that is exactly my Prof tried to tell me all this time but... somehow you put it in a way that makes me feel less scared to lose my grasp on the in not orthogonal form. Gonna start sketching out plans. Hopefully this review will be good.
funny how design works...you never know what's going to get you from one place to the next...hope your review went well...
Absolutely amazing video. You explain it far better than i ever could. I will definitely be sharing this with other student especially the new incoming students at uni.- LJ 😃
cheers +Capital A Creations ...thanks for sharing it...
Hi Eric, i appreciate a lot of your videos. Thanks. Right now I am designing small house (vacation or home) and i use a lot of the content from your chanel. This is very helpful. Really great. I am not an architect but i have already planed some small houses and organised the whole building process. I am a wood technology engineer and carpenter (when i was younger). I think about to start study architecture here in Germany but i am afraid that the study is to theoretical like i have heard in some of the comments from some students. Maybe i should study your whole chanels, thats brings more benefits. Maybe you can give me advice ? Is there a possibilti to come closer in contact with you ? Christian
awesome videos!! Just loving it. You made me go out and buy some supplies from my nearby art shop. Any recommendations on which series you have done that has a start to finish. Site visit points, Concept design, rough designs, final plan and last, making a model of it.
that's been the goal of this series (the architecture short course)...it can be hard to document every last step, but I'm trying to cover the important waypoints...
if you haven't watched the studio series, that's another place to dig in: ruclips.net/p/PLuJj3iQpiK3v7tqYStltImkMxe2iu-l_L
Thanks so much for your video!! it`s great :3
+Sleiter XD cheers my friend...
LOVE
Good job sir Keep going
i will...!
At what scale do you prefer to sketch/draw and why?
How is it you learn or how to you know how to balance the required thermal mass for moderating temperatures throughout the day which are likely to radiate heat out again at night with wanting to keep night time temperatures cool in bedrooms? Baring in mind I come from a part of the world that in summer we can have temperatures as high as 47 degrees C and have minimum temperatures sustained for up to a week as high as 28-30 degrees C during the day. Also wanting to balance this with keeping the temperatures reasonably warm during winter months?
in general the principle in extreme climates is to use higher thermal mass materials (concrete, tile, trombe walls, etc.) to your advantage and buffer temperature extremes. as with everything else in architecture you have to balance the structural implications, cost, and aesthetics alongside the thermal properties you're looking to achieve. as you might imagine, none of this is easily reducible to a formula. Building conventions will get you most of the way there though...i.e. a standard 4 or 5" concrete slab on grade is quite a bit of thermal mass, relatively inexpensive to build and has a fantastic aesthetic. hope that helps...
Yes very much. I guess my consideration of this area is heightened by my current circumstances where I am living in a converted garage, solid concrete floor and all the walls and roof are well insulated with fibreglass bats, windows are not huge and light directly onto the slab is rare. During the day even in cold weather with the help of some heating or just the sunshine the room heats nicely and maintains its heat which is kind of a positive but the downside is the heat is maintained well into the night which for someone who does not like sleeping in a room of 20 degrees C or more is a bit of an issue so I find myself contemplating what design aspects would better balance these issues though thinking now as I type this I think the main issue is that with the exception of the bathroom it is one large open space and does not allow separation of heating zones. Obviously having the living areas warmer at night would be beneficial (with the exception of heatwave periods) and ideally you would want to thermally isolate the sleeping areas. which in this case is not possible.
Using thermal mass for temperature regulation sounds great in principle. But this concept brings with it temperature fluctuations that may not be acceptable to most people. (If you don't allow there to be any temperature fluctuation, all the money and effort you put into creating thermal mass is literally wasted.) Maybe better is to investigate some kind of solar battery that stores energy? Storing heat in living spaces is a flawed concept, because most people are trying to avoid excess heat and temp fluctuations!
Could somebody PLEASE tell me what material the walls/floor are made out of at 8:25?
So Awesome!
Hey your videos are really deliverable but i have a simple question? Can you please tell me how can i research a building that isn't constructed any where in the world? Perhaps a new building to design? Give me an advice please!
Hi there, I'm really enjoying your videos as I've only just discovered your channel. Have you got any hints and tips for a student starting architecture in september?
plenty of advice and inspiration on the channel...here's a good playlist to get you started: ruclips.net/p/PLuJj3iQpiK3u-1mhbq7FFaOR2drt8s8M2
Have dates on architectural designing updates it will cool thing to present!
Where could I find wooden blocks seen at 07:50? I am looking for similar. Thanks.
Can you guide me any book for reference to know the guidelines for layouts of bed rooms, kitchen ,bathroom etc .Any other references will be welcome.
hello, can I have the link for part 1? thank you so much!!
Hey guys I dont want spam but there was a glimpse of a trace paper with site analysis on the table with a huge arrow pointing out the wind direction. How do u decide where the wind comes from ? Actually I was wondering this for years. Is it from relevant datas or u decide, what if u cant come to the site ? thank u for explanation to my dumb question
no such thing as dumb questions...I use local climatological data from the national weather service and observe site conditions. here on the coast of maine the trees often flag (point away) from the prevailing wind direction. another way is to observe deadfall or vegetation growth patterns which can often indicate prevailing winds on a site.
30X40 Design Workshop much much appreciation for your answer. I didnt expect one. Thank u for your tips and keep the good and inspiring work. Cheers !
nice
Great video as always!
I plan on going through the additional resources you listed I was wondering if you could suggest any architectural theory books that are not "word salad."
For example I loved A Pattern Language and Form, Space, and Order but I could not manage more than a few pages of A Poetics Of Space or Toward A New Architecture.
interesting...I didn't like A Pattrern Language and loved Corbu...! ...Colin Rowe was a perennial favorite when I was in school, but he definitely fits the word salad category...how about Frampton, Holl or Zumthor?
I have not tried Frampton, Holl or Zumthor... would you suggest any of those as being more along the lines of what I might like? Thanks!
Zumthor is the most accessible of the three I mentioned...I'm working on an 'essential architecture books' video for the near future...
Thank you. I will check zumthor. I was just thinking that it would be neat to have a video of your personal library of architectural books so a video on 'essential architecture books' should be great!
...think I like your idea better...thanks!
God Bless ya

i like your vedio

What if you have to create a plan from scratch? Like, there's no existing plan to lay your diagramming.
hi there sir eric, i just want to ask, why you call it the SQUID COVE house?..
it's located on a well known spit of land here locally where they used to fish for squid...
SignPen FTW!
seriously...studio doesn't function without Sign Pens...
What is you have no site and no program? We have a project going on with only 25'x25'x25' and we have to make it have an architectural language...
I'm very lost
wow..
I love everything you do, but this is the first time I disagree or don't understand what you said in the end "during construction, things will continue to change"... Isn't that a very bad thing that can happen to a project? Which everyone avoids ?
why why why these videos are more effective than my studio?
“Now, if you are not able to achieve this level of clarity in your diagram at this early stage, it’s a sign (brief pause) …”
In my heard I thought that he would say that it was a sign that you should look for another field to work on… That pause for a second scared me! 🥴
Where is part one of this video?
Well
