Hey Eric, great that your back missed my weekly inspiration. Quick question when your Sketch book coming out starting to run out of sketch book pages!!
@@barrystott-brookes5883 hey, thanks for checking in, they're floating somewhere in the Pacific right now (slow boat from China) heading to customs in the US, then on to Amazon warehouses. I'm still surprised just how long the supply chain is!
I retired after 40+ years as an architect, your videos do a great job of explaining process and thinking, I recommend them to students I meet. This is what schools should teach but don’t- design is an analytical process, not a sudden inspiration by a Hero Architect. Everything you are showing can apply to bigger and more complex projects. Bravo for your efforts here.
How did you enjoy your work in the field? I am starting my freshman year of college and I want to get a grasp of what working as an architect is like after education. Many practicing architects I have spoken with have said that, while architecture school was fun, it was far and away from the work they did in the field.
Seth Moore : I enjoyed my work as an architect, but what you hear is correct- arch school teaches a common language and skills but it is not much like actual practice. School teaches individual design, taking a simple program and making 3D form to fit that. In reality, design is only a small part of what architects do, and in fact any project bigger than a medium size house is done by an architectural, engineering and construction team, not by a single architect/ designer. There are other skills required, few of which are taught in school: -Marketing and client management: how does the architect or firm present its skills, define its target market, present to possible clients, select which clients to take on, calculate a proposed fee, write the contract, collect the payments, manage the process, and keep a good ongoing client relationship over a years- long project? -Programming: what spaces does the client need, and what is their relationship? I worked mostly on large healthcare projects, which might involve dozens of departments, hundreds of rooms, and up to a million SF. The programming team might interview and work with 50 technical users, and need to be able to understand the detailed needs of doctors, surgeons, radiologists, nurses, and hospital executives. I liked going behind the scenes, and creating new analytical processes as needed: ‘if you want to plan for 2,500 hospital births per year, how many rooms of each kind would you need? ‘ It was up to me to figure that out. -Design: in real life this involves multiple options, lots of preliminary designs, interactions with clients, local officials, and the construction team, not just selling a design you like. -Documentation- Architects need to produce a legal description of the project for bidding, and to literally become the contract with the builder, which usually involves a team to detail everything and to coordinate with civil, structural, plumbing, HVAC, and electrical engineers. If you want that cabinet in the third bedroom to be made of clear birch veneer on marine plywood, with bronze finish round pulls, you need to say so here. -Construction supervision could be 40% of the total work, reviewing drawings submitted by contractors to be sure they got it right, attending and documenting lots of owner/contractor meetings, and dealing with field conditions. This is not usually the Architect rejecting bad work, it us usually a group of people with coffee cups looking at something: “Huh. How did that happen? Now what do we do, to revise the design or the construction method?” To me, the emotional payoff in architecture is seeing users happy with the end result. I liked that I was putting in this effort on useful long term things like schools and hospitals, not commercial boxes or things that would be gone in a few years. All of the process requires working with teams of people, getting along with them, and keeping good written notes along the way. None of it involved a Hero Architect alone in the studio at 1am creating a Pure Design to magically solve the problem and win a prize. Good architects, I think, like to lead a team and manage a process.
Ignore the critics unless helpful. Thanks for the the enormous time, planning and effort that go into making these videos. Not to mention your gracious sharing.
Eric , the way you explain the process is intriguing. Humbleness sparks in your voice and you seem like such a genuine soul. I am an architect and I find your content precious. So much love ! Thank you !
No one has taught as many techniques in arch school for five years as you have. Thank you so much sir, all your videos have helped and inspired me so much ❤️
I am done with my B.Arch, DONE. 5 years of my study, i didn't find nothing more valuable teaching than your channel. i like your content and admire your work. keep up your work.
My parents are building a new house. Ive been drawing plans, making models and teaching myself to use software to help show them designs I like, and shaping the build and layout of the house around the environment its set in. Your videos give so much inspiration and idea of displaying my ideas to them. Thank you
ty - love this! .... comfort with - and the zen of creating one's own Design Process - are SO important .... you demo that beautifully ... and would never ever even consider "cutting any corners" ....
This has really helped to shape my understanding of architecture. Particularly in how to develop a thoroughly informed design, I’m going to apply your way of thinking in more of my assignments this sem!
LOl - “where’s the screened in porch - there isn’t one - eeeeehhhh”. Love it - can’t wait to see the client meeting! It’s been refreshing digging through your posts the past couple of weeks - as an architect for over 20 years with 15 on my own, I’ve hit a wall with trying to “feed the machine.” I’m finally taking a sabbatical to refocus the energy on the direction for the next 10 - glad I found your stuff. Inspiring process my friend!
Been following your work for almost a year and a half, I have seen all your videos and I have seen an amazing change in every way. It was and is helpful and hope it helps me in the future too. Amazing work Eric
I do really enjoy watching to the process of this project and can't wait to see the final result. the way you work in your projects is every architect dream. I wish to bring back the joy of architecture and design to my work like you do. wish you the best of luck Eric.
This gives me so many ideas on how to design and draw floorplans!! However, I could see the years of dedication and research involved now at least I know where to look. Thank You
Sir, I am not a architect by profession, most of time in 3d visualization I use 2d Autocad planing for work, therefore I started watching your videos regularly the way you explained the things it is very easy to understand and more practical then course book and what teacher do in class. Inspiration that I got from your video are very useful for my future upcoming project where i feel confident now. Thank you
I'm looking forward to another fantastic video. The combination of your presentation style, camera work, and architectural talent make a fabulous combination. I've learned so much in your videos, it almost makes me think I should have become an architect instead of a rocket scientist for NASA.
Such similar geography to us in N.S. and same weather issues. This house is going to look amazing when it's done, love seeing all your sketch's & thoughts Eric!
I’m obsessed with ur sketching ❤️, and love how u maintain ur living space and stationary and everything Btw I’m in 2year of bachelors and, my life is all messed right now, but I’m sure I’ll figure out things and balance my life. 🙂
Thanks for the Reply, So Looking forward to getting my hands on a set of these and fill them with ideas and content. Just gearing up here for a month of myself from Day to Day office!!!!!! Relaunch myself in September! its taken a year to plan a month off!
Eric - digging the ladder elements that head up to the flat roof areas. The almost butterfly roof element between the main space and the master should really create some interesting shadow patterns. Great video as always and even better process. Looking forward to continuing to follow this journey. FYI - houseboats been moved to Portland, let me know when you are ready for a brew ;)
Soon (I hope)...they're floating in the Pacific right now, headed to a distribution center in the US, then to Amazon...I'm actually surprised at how long the supply chain is!
Love your videos, your explanations really open up new perspectives to concepts. Please can you do a video explaining how you use rendering software like Sketch Up ? Thanks!
I am Ecuadorian and I love your videos because I want to be an arquitect and very nice your draws- yo soy de Ecuador y amo tus videos porque quiero ser arquitecto y muy bien esos dibujos. Felicidades ✋🏼saludos de Ecuador
hi eric!, interesting couple of episodes passed and i am counting my fingers to see the rest of the parts of the design process until it makes visible, cheers!!!
Eric, I'm quite interested in how you imported certain elements of the site into your Sketchup model. Could you give a pointer on how you did this trick with the boulders?
A great location and this remote site certainly has its challenges. Remote, logistics but that rock ledge will not be fun to cut/blast for septic. I am trying to upload my first part of our plans, but our remote site makes for wifi challenges. We are going with SIPs, Eric is this your solution to. Great stuff.
Thanks for following my friend...for the septic we'll be using an engineered system (pipe and sand) but getting the material there is $$$. We're considering SIPS, but we have a lot of opening in the exterior walls which will require shear bracing at the solid parts (SIPS as far as I know aren't rated for our high wind loads) There's also the need for a long reach crane/boom truck to get them on and off the mailboat as well as installed at the site, I'm not sure that's the right system for us. Are you using EPS or Urethane?
@@30by40 I don't want to distract from your channel by a link. I do discuss SIPs with Architect often. Like you said people think they know you from videos. I regard you as an avid thinker so you may know what I can offer. From my experience assembling SIPs there are the kind that burn and don't. When I consider the single percent difference it isn't a contest. Polyurethane is hands down my recommendation. If you want to see me put my hand on open flame without getting burned in a video check it out. Remote sites like the one I am building on rarely have a fire department close if you prefer EPS SIPS. Great to see more on this build, Thanks
@@30by40 Eric, we have wind loads of 132mph 3 sec gusts here so I engineered for 140. We have had some 70+ winds without issue. Not sure of your market but look into ICS Eco SIPs, I believe they have a sister company in N. Carolina. Thermospan is in Indiana and both us Urethane. ICS has the cam system and Huber products. I do use a Telehandler(or Lull) to fly in roof panels
Thanks for the reply and your practical insights, that's what I love about practitioners (builders, craftspeople) real world experience is the most valuable. We'd have a difficult time meeting energy code if we didn't use the urethane panels, so I totally agree. The shear value of glue doesn't compare to fasteners though, that's been my experience with finding a wind-rated panel.
I am gonna go re-watch the other three parts for a refresher. I love your design process, even though it's a process typical for any architect. Also, when did you start using Sketchup? I like to use Chief Architect myself.
Appreciate that my friend...I've been using SketchUp for many, many years...I'll be building physical models for this one too but given the client meeting was held on the site an all-digital presentation made the most sense...
Eric, great video and having been to Maine myself and seen the coast there (around hurricane island area), your style seamlessly lends itself to adding to the landscapes rather than jarring out from it. I wanted to ask how you handled the client question at the end? Many clients stick to their lists but I’m curious what your reason was for not including that in your concept? I do a lot of meetings with clients as it’s just me and my boss at my firm, I have always loved the idea of ‘simple elegance’ in terms of form and have tried to push similar concepts here in the Great Lakes region (it’s difficult with all the ‘big lake home’ styles and everyone wanting what everyone else has though). Keep up the great work! 👌🏻
It takes a special client to buy in on a more minimalist approach (and to share the process so openly on YT!) RE: the porch it wasn't a part of the program we developed so that's why it wasn't included in the SD proposals...more on that in the next vid!
@@30by40 Eric, I wanted to reach out and let you know about a time sheet template I created that helps those doing their ARE hours track each category as well. I was wondering if you would be interested in taking a look at it and letting me know what you thing?
Hey Eric, Great video. I always enjoy watching them as a feedback look to continuously improve. I always appreciate how clear and concise your videos. I have a Mavic Pro and have been looking to use drone deploy for projects where the budget doesn't warrant topo prepared by a professional. I was wondering if you could break down the process on that.
Absolutely gorgeous piece of work...video editing and the design approach...stunning. one question, does sketchup run smoothly in macbook air? What's the configuration of your Mac.air? Please let me know.
Thank you my friend...yes, I was actually surprised at how smoothly SU runs on the air (13-inch, 1.8GHz i5, 8GB DDR3 memory, Intel HD Graphics 6000 1536MB)...I use it just for presentation work though, so I'm not asking a lot from it...
I love your videos and the way you explain things.I currently have to decide whether I will go to architecture school and I am very confused whether it is for me.How does someone know that he wants to become an architect???😭
You have to have a love for other building archetecture, a passion for how things fit together and the flow of buildings. You also have to be quite creative and want to be a constant learner. You have to want to be a big people person since as an architect you have to constantly deal with clients and interpret their ideas into ideas on paper. I believe creativity and a passion for existing archetecture is a big driver to know whether you should become an architect.
Still learning all the time, love it. QUESTION TIME! I´m from outside NorthAmerica, so I use International units System, as meter, kilo, etc. Do you think North America (including yourself) should push to change de Imperial system for the International? Do you find it better or you preffer the Imperial. THX Cheers This question come along while seen the Scale was different-
Sir it would be very helpful for me if you upload it before 1month.. I have to face so many trouble in my project of vacation house which is also in a hill site.. However thank you. I learn many thing form This vedio!!
Liam Roblin You should be able to find contour maps online for various parks and places like that. People use them for hiking. I suggest you get familiar with contour maps, and then try drawing your own. Easy to do in revit, and then you end up with a topo model, which you can integrate with your building model. Then you can start investigating how buildings touch the ground and explore different foundation systems

I love your videos and the way you explain things.I currently have to decide whether I will go to architecture school and I am very confused whether it is for me.How does someone know that he wants to become an architect???😭
You have to have a love for other building archetecture, a passion for how things fit together and the flow of buildings. You also have to be quite creative and want to be a constant learner. You have to want to be a big people person since as an architect you have to constantly deal with clients and interpret their ideas into ideas on paper. I believe creativity and a passion for existing archetecture is a big driver to know whether you should become an architect.

Still learning all the time, love it. QUESTION TIME! I´m from outside NorthAmerica, so I use International units System, as meter, kilo, etc. Do you think North America (including yourself) should push to change de Imperial system for the International? Do you find it better or you preffer the Imperial. THX Cheers

I love your design process!! How do you find your topography maps?
Liam Roblin typically get surveyor to provide, owner consultant
@@Andrew-dg7qm what if you were a student and wanted to replicate it with a fictional project but a real site?
Liam Roblin You should be able to find contour maps online for various parks and places like that. People use them for hiking. I suggest you get familiar with contour maps, and then try drawing your own. Easy to do in revit, and then you end up with a topo model, which you can integrate with your building model. Then you can start investigating how buildings touch the ground and explore different foundation systems
@@Andrew-dg7qm thank you
You should use your drone and DroneDeploy to run photogrammetry on the site.
I totally should...I had a fly-away once whilst using it and have been nervous about watching it sail away over the Atlantic!
@@30by40 The good ones sound pretty reliable. I don't have one yet. I'd like to get a Mavic 2 Pro to import the sites in Lumion.
i just say nice every 30 seconds
what computer software is that?
it's called Sketchup! They have a free online version if you want to try it. It's very limited though.
Are you proposing clerestory windows on the west facade? Solar gain would be a concern for the main living space.
Extend the water side deck around the master bath so the owner can walk out onto it from the bedroom.
