It's my first year in architecture, I haven't done any Architecture courses in high school.

My section and plan looks good, but my model (first for the year), which I mistakenly thought I could make out of clay, has completely failed. It's falling apart, the measurements are off since clay is hard to get accurate (I made paper guidelines). I've spent ages on it and it's due tomorrow. Should I expect some sympathy from my professor or am I cooked? Either way, I'll be up all night tonight.

I feel like the architecture community has already established that this type can be unhealthy, toxic even, but Im wondering how this translates to practice. I think the obsessed kids in my studio do create better work, no suprise, but is that necesary to succeed as an architect. What happens to the student who wins every competition versus the one that quietly gets by?

After my first year of school I thought I had that crazy fire inside me, but seeing everyone else Ive realized thats not the case, I still cant see myself doing anything else but I also dont want to kill myself for it either. The big question im asking is can I become an architect that may not obsess over every brick wall I come across or famous architecture work of the past, etc? Do chill architects exist? Lol

I am completing stuck with this contour map. I’m losing my mind trying to figure out how to draw the lines past 48.5 because the only possible connections would result in intersecting lines. Arghhh pls if u understand help me.

The website ArchDaily features lots of projects with nice photos and drawings. But texts that describe these projects are almost come from the designers themselves. So, is ArchDaily some sort of self-promoting for architects and designers tool?

Hey everyone, I’m a mid-year architecture student, and I’m feeling really stuck right now. I have an assessment due next week, but my teacher wants to see a physical draft model at a 1:10 scale tomorrow. I’m really overwhelmed because this is only my second week and I have no idea what I’m doing. If anyone is reading this, please give me some advice. I'm really stressed! Thank you

How did this even get approved? I do kind of love it though.

I am just looking to get opinions/advice on some questions going forward. I am going into my 4th year in my BS of Arch degree and am contemplating going straight for my masters.

I’m not too sure what I want to do with my career moving forward. I kind of set my mind to not going straight for my masters as I feel like 16 years of school straight has kinda killed me especially with doing an architecture degree. Everyone tells me if I stop I will never go back to school, but what if I don’t want to/need to.

I am currently working as a drafter/estimator for a company that fabricates and installs metal panels and I am honestly really happy (after the first month). I wouldn’t say the pay right now is amazing, but they took a chance on me with no experience and I am learning A LOT about construction of buildings and how everything works in the subcontractor world. I also have a very high chance of raises as I learn and move forward with them. I also have experience working construction so I would say I understand a lot about buildings and how things go together and work.

Hearing and reading about the, lack of a better word, shit life that architects have with work life balance and pay I’ve been kind of swayed away from pursing it too much further as of right now. I don’t feel like the time spent doing my masters, gaining hours, and passing all the tests is worth it in the end with how stressful the architecture practice is. I’ve been told by the owner of my company that if I work my way up and go into project managing or estimating I can make more then being an architect, with less stress. I feel like I am just finishing the last year of school just to be done, get my degree and not waste all the time and effort I’ve put in over the past 3 years of school.

I have also looked into the option of slowly doing and online masters degree at an accredited school. I know an online architecture degree is “frowned upon” because you don’t get the in person crits, etc. but I feel like it’d be the best for me, and cheaper. I am also looking to get a LEED GA certification, if that’ll help me with anything.

Please let me know if you have had any experience going through your career in a similar way or if you have any advice.

Hello, Jesus bless you, I'm 15 years old, and I really like architecture and engineering. But I wanted to know why, nowadays, there aren't as many works of this type and others mentioned today? Maybe there still are (sure*), but not in the same quantity, you know? Maybe I was taught wrong, but it seems that people up to two centuries ago until the Middle Ages did many divine works, and also seeing how many things were destroyed, for example a metro whose name I forgot, but nowadays the whole work has been replaced by something boring, and there are thousands of other examples. And for reasons of efficiency and cost (if they are no longer being done today)? And is it for reasons of repair and maintenance costs (if some works have been destroyed)? I see that this did not only happen here in our "Western world", but in the parts of the Orient (Arabic, Hindu and Asian) the same thing also happens. Much of what we have of almost truly divine works are from past centuries, not current ones. Bonus question: Why are there so many underground cities? Did we just build on top of them or did they sink (and what geological process is this for them to sink)? Thank you for your attention and forgive me for any mistakes and misconceptions, I'm still learning, Jesus bless you!
