Remind structural engineers that they are about to be replaced by software, and do your job as an architect.

We don't have engineers design shit, because we get shit. We ask them to do the tedious number crunching after we have a workable design.

Be the designer, or be the engineer, not both, and do not confuse them. The designs, the engineer supports the designer, not the other way around.

Sure, build new construction, complete, then DIY time AFTER inspection.

If you want it done as a major part of the building, requiring your builder to build around it or part of it, then legally they'll need it on the plans, and with that, everyone everywhere has access to them.

After your new construction or remodel is complete, and the building inspector is off your ass, then you can start hacking away at what you just paid to have built, but, you have to be able to do it without it looking or sounding like a construction project, or they'll use your ass to shoot bottle rockets out of on the 4th of July.

I remember hearing of cases where landscapers would use the marks of dead grass, where people cut corners and walk across the grass the most, as a guide to improve their projects. I have actually noticed such dry zones around a lot at local parks and other green areas.

>>741129325
Solar panels and other sources of clean energy are great. But making buildings that, by design, make good use of resources is just as important. The way sun light enters, the way air flows... they are all things you have to keep in mind when designing.

>>741129955
I like "minimalism" in the sense that some elements of a project should be resolved with as many intrincacies as it's encessary to make it work and not more. Adding more just takes away from what you've achieved. But I do agree with your idea of "living buildings" as long as whatever you incorporate gives the project an added value, like making it more bearable, contributing to the sensation of well-being of it's inhabitants or simply challenging the mind of who observes it.

While not a big fan of jews and their influence, it doesn't bother me. Besides, architecture would have taken a similar path with out without them: To try and continue to build buildings that look the same, in a world where materials, techniques and needs are constantly evolving, just for the sake of tradition didn't make sense.
Most modern buildings I see that try to look classical are actually pretty bad, coarse imitations anyways, save a few exceptions.
Still, I think you should have a certain sensitivity regarding the surroundings of your prject, specially if you design in an area with a strong historical and cultural heritage.

That's actually some pretty good advice.
The way I see it, specially with the advenment of computing, all shapes are potential possible shapes for a project, but not necessarily desirable ones. You start trimming that infinite set of shapes by what makes sense given the context and how it dialogues with it, what is useful and practical for the use it's gonna get, what fits your budget and structurally works... and a series of variables until you end up with a form that embodies the best balance of all these factors you can get.

It wasnt at first, it is still hidious, the "floor windows" pff, are not semetrical , why one big one and the rest small windows, the white block next to the wal looks like a giant ikea cabinet. , whats up with the un used space on the left of the catwalk, the catwalk will not be used as it doesnt has much practical function.

As for this one, not using solid white lintols, is just making the whole thing look like a cave building, the smooth straight edge of the lower finish stones clashes with the ruff outline of the door and window frames, the some bits straight and some bits dip of the graut lines is really ugly, considering the discoloring im guessing their masonry sunk.

In the olden days they had smarter populations that were more precise and diligent

>>741135953
>dip of the graut lines is really ugly, considering the discoloring im guessing their masonry sunk.
They did it in sections the lazy bastards, you can see how they did sections around the door frames.
they did not do it in layers but did one side of the door then the next, result is that the stones drop unevenly because they did it on different days and mortar consistency and drying speed changes.day by day

>>741135719
>How? These were built on a ridiculously tight budget actually.

>>741134607
>Architecture is for rich people. It's inflicted on everyone else.
Thats not true. Even a home-built deck or cabin has a basic function which you attempt to make nice. Its a basic human instinct to be creative and improve and take stylistic cues from things you've seen. And when some of that shit doesn't work, you get creative in whole new ways. I like to build stuff, and I'm pretty good at it, but have no formal education. I'm a shade-tree Appalachian shitkicker. That means, I normally go for simplicity, but I like good craftsmanship - we don't all use eye-hooks for doorknobs.

>>741135953
>>741136131
Dude, most if not all of the masonery you see is the remains a pretty old building. The renovation is built in such a way that it tries to interfere the original structure as little as possible while also making the building usable. Most decisionsyou mention respond to this objective. Things like elements that don't touch each other and leave a gap, or making the new sections so sleek and sharp in contrast to the original ruggedness of the heritage structure instead of turning it into a half-faux-historique.
The floor windows are there to showcase some old foundation sections that were digged up, while still keeping the space usable. No idea why one is bigger though so you got me there.

Actually, I study at a catholic university, and while I don't consider myself religious anymore I do appreciate that we are mostly free from all the shit you mention.

This person proposes it's better to spend a given amount of money the government assings for each family on a half-house they can expand as they earn more and the family grows, rather than spending it on an even shittier, tinier house. The results are not necessarily pretty, but that's not the architect's fault. And it works.
Note the state of construction, the lower picture is not a late edition, its build at the same time, and thus designed by the architect.

Lets look at the floor plan of this half house, o wait its shit and you have no space for a halway, the rooms are 2x3 meters
you have forrest around that place but dont see any as the buildings are block buildings


This building style is more expensive as you are living in a half house with a full roof, you are paying interst on the loan you take or take a hit on taxes, you have decay on the whole roof, the open roof structure with the beams exposed can cause mold when you stert to enclose that after it getting weathered

Did i mention it looks ugly as fuck in all stages, and it is blocking the view of the surroundings

you fucking commie

>>741138741

still cheaper than a fullhouse.

These places arent build for the middle class.

no, because it is part of some ones property, wtf, so what , some bum moves under the half that has no house, rols out his sleeping bag.
wtf other ppl use that space, they dont , who the fuck even, you think that you can rent out out a room that has a roof and only 2 walls

Who the fuck is saying anything about a rich neighborhood Show me the comment speaking about a rich neighborhood.

If you can afford to build a 2e half on the house, you can afford to move to a full house too, a fixer uper or some shit.

No point in building half houses that are fucking tiny in the first place, you can make a bigger home if you wouldnt have a half house

>>741130681

They are called desire lines. An important part of masterplanning.

UK ARB/RIBA registered architect here. Worked in practice from 2004-2016 before going 'in house' with a volume construction co.

If you're not 100% dedicated to the 'craft' or willing to work your arse off for 12+ hours a day with no overtime payment or the salary benefits that you'll see your peers gaining in their similarly ranked careers, then get out now.

Also, if you have the foolish notion that in some way you think you'll be able to waltz straight into a job, think again: Competition for Architectural positions is fierce. Also, have you got some sort of financial fallback if another recession hits? Architects are first to take the fall as they're seen as a luxury. I worked through two recession periods surviving the chop both times because I worked my fucking arse off, however, the practice I was working for at the time axed almost 25% of the work force and reduced working (and salary pro rata) to 4 days... even when we were back on 5 day working it took 18 months for the wages to rebalance for the extra day.

Even then, I thought I had it relatively good in relation to how others I knew working elsewhere were treated. Practices don't give a shit about "nurturing talent" or progressing proteges straight out of college, they want revit / autocad literate staff who can sit at a desk and effectively churn out semi repetitive shite (window / sanitary / door schedules / WC layouts) day in day out for peanuts.

Long working hours are cultured into Architecture students and this only goes to benefit practices as they know they'll have a submissive workforce ready to sacrifice their free time to meet arbitrary deadlines set by cuntish clients that the bosses are pandering to as their paymasters.

The profession’s culture is wrong and it deals mostly in self harm.

TL;DR Go and be a dentist instead.

>>741139023


Yea and what if they sell their property to someone else? God fuckin damn, are you stupid on purpose?

So you telling me that half a car cost as much as a whole car?

And appearantly the people cant afford a full house, thus this solution. Shit isnt easy everywhere, I dont know where your dim ass comes from, but shit is different out there.

There is a point, its built, its there. People use it.

>>741138794
>Do you pray as part of the curriculum? Have some kind of morning mass, pray at the dining hall, shit like that?
We have chapels and masses and all that kinda shit, but you participate only if you want. Like I said, the only mandatory contact with religion is a one-semester only theological class that's just a couple weekly hours. Some of them are even actually pretty cool, since they are taught more from a phylosophical point of view rather than being in-your-face religious indoctrination.

>>741138794

No such thing here.

Also, I don't say this to brag, but we're the single msot prestigious university in the country, and we almost always rank on the top-3 in Latin America, so no way I'm paying for a shitty private university when I can have acess to this.

>>741138404
>if we design towards an economical and sustaining way as a whole, including energy friendly,
But they dont, everything has more and more windows, some let in to much heat, some let out too much heat.

there are tons of things you can do to create a low energy home, mainly with control of temperatures but they simply never do, simply sinking buildings in to the ground can reduce their heating cost, having air shafts to have hot air rise so you cut down on ac cost are not implemented, yet they could safe 100 times in more in energy then they cost to put in to the construction

ow fuck off, you dont know what youre talking about.

Google ''Insulated windows'' Some windows are more energy sufficient than walls. Plus they dont have thermal mass and stacking, which is damaging to the environment as well.

And building into the ground? Ask yourself this.

Would you want to live underground for the rest of your life? What are you a fucking hobbit?

Even hobbits have windows.

>safe 100 times more in energy

ow fu-

I dont even want to get into this.

A place needs many things, it isnt just simply heat in vs heat out through windows. With a place in the ground you need ventilation. Wind doesnt reach there. So you need mechanical ventilation that runs 24/7 pumping in fresh air because thats a thing people need too. Not to mention the lack of sunlight makes people depressed.

There are many solutions to many things. That picture of those houses is a solution to a thing.

Houses in the ground isnt a solution to anything unless 2 sides are open onto the surface.

Dont build a roof that covers nothing
slim it down, less cost so you can increase living space.

Good read, I just finished my first year of Architecture studies, and all of the big name architects that teach us (small country, Estonia) warn us of this, and it's pretty obvious if you look at them. They all seem pretty stressed out. I myself am not like they are atm, but who knows how I will turn out, if I will become an architect.

Do you think architecture is a good thing to study, even if you don't end up being an architect?

>>741139363
I have mixed feelings about this theory.
I think the work necessary for the controlled demolition of two buildings this size would be outlandishly difficult to hide when said buildings were occupied for thousands of peopel every day for most of the day. Also, the possibility that the planes weakened the structure enough for it to eventually collapse is plausible since most of the weight was supported by the perimetral columns, which first got severed by the impact, and then weakened because of the heat. The whole "jet fuel can't melt steel beams" thing is irrelevant because you don't need to melt still to significantly weaken it.
I have no good counter-arguments for the fall of Tower 7 though. But I haven't reserched much on it either.

its fantastic, you will learn how a city is made and why. Why the streets are there, why there are certain streets. You will learn to appreciate what men has made over our existence and why we made it. You will learn about the environment and about accepting it instead of fighting, you will learn about houses, buildings and why things are the way they are and how they work. Its fantastic.

In a word? No.

There's no real future proofing of the profession. Architecture is a dwindling commodity seen as lesser and lesser of value to the public and also, it is an expense that many developers now see themselves as being able to live without.

Ask your professors and any visiting industry professionals the same question in a candid manner, also try and predict how you'll feel in 10 years time if you've lumped all your study time into a single profession that doesn't really allow flexibility to move elsewhere without re-training.

From my perspective, I had enough of being worked to the bone without adequate recompense. Where I work now it is acceptable to leave at 5pm, I get a salary upwards of £15k p/a more than seniors in practice, a company car, fuel card and a work life balance that makes me happier.

Minimal interference in nature and landscape, most of the buildings are underground with one or more look out floors that have windows and doors.

Best is go work for your self and start building designer houses that you can sell, but it is risky and more costly.

it pays more than normal construction making it worth it.

Modern (or rather post-modern) architecture. It's the garbage alien to the mankind. And I'm saying this not as a self-righteous conservative, I can admire the avant-garde, but post-modernism is something different, it's a crime against taste.
why can't architects create grand neo-classical buildings that will last for centuries and inspire future generations? Wait, we all know why, because post-modern economical relations eliminate this possibility as such.

Enjoy making sub grade garbage with weird shapes and built shoddy with lowest dollar construction. Most buildings now are a mere shadow of what was once built. There is no effort into making them have sculptures or interesting appearances, they are build with trashy materials. Houses are made out of ply-board and match sticks. Their support beams are tiny and not very sturdy compared to older structures, and they only last 50 years or so before you need to tear them down and build a new one. Long past is the time when things were built to last generations.

Faggot.
