Happy to help!

Wonderful, I’m glad you like them!

Ah ha! And what are the overlaps or differences that are interesting to you?

Almost everything. I believe architects have to be extremely meticulous and detail oriented which isn’t necessary for web design but to be a better web designer… it’s a must. I love the perspectives and focal points that you explained. It helped me see things differently and with a greater purpose when I’m designing. I like how one thing can abstracted into many forms, from pencil drawing to graphic overlays. All with one purpose, “how will it all work”. This has an overlap with UI/UX prototyping. Materials and textures give depth and feeling to web. Same in architecture… I mean I can go on and on 😂😂😂😂

Glad you liked it!

Multiple ways. The columns would be in plan and section, but if they have a specific manner of production, you would also create “detail” drawings at a closer scale (maybe 1:10 for a column, 1:2/1:5 for something smaller). Then you would express the material finish in the specifications and finishes schedule.

@@ChrisMewburn i see thank you! And if i wanted to design, lets say a roof? How would i go about that? Sorry for the extra question 😭

Still posting, I just do it in bursts. I only upload when I have new content to show, more coming this year and next.

More to come!

Ha. Can do!

Yes that’s standard, but trends are moving towards larger models and two-person models

Hi there, and thanks for watching! To see if you like architecture I suggest watching some more TH-cam channels about architecture, like nevertoosmall or Archimarathon, and then going to the library to read some books about architecture. Then, if still interested, go to an open day at your local college to hear more about the degree, the career and the lifestyle.

@@ChrisMewburn thank you i will be definetly be doing that during my school holidays

Ha! Nice.

Hey! Thank you, you’re very kind.

That’s great, thank you for your kind words.

Nice. And yes, if you’re passionate it’s never too late to start. I’ve had students in their 50s and 60s start and complete architecture and go on to live second lives as architects. If you love it, you love it. Age is just a number.

Wonderful, I’m glad you like them.

Hi there, that’s a pretty good score. Ultimately, it depends what colleges or universities you’re trying to enrol in. Some will have an emphasis on grades, others will focus more on skills and a portfolio of drawings or artworks. Some might focus on both, and others might be more interested in social considerations or extracurricular / volunteer activity. The best thing to do is to go online and look up the admissions criteria for all of your favourite architecture schools. Most will say very clearly on their website the requirements for admission. Then, once you have that you can figure out which one best suits your score, skills, goals, financial situation, geographic location etc. Hope this helps.

@@ChrisMewburn thank you so much for the reply, this definetly helps.

Thanks! Very kind of you.

Very kind of you, thank you!

Glad you like them, thanks!

sameee

SAME ❤

Thank you!

Easy, just go to this link and follow the instructions: www.twinmotion.com/en-US/download

Nice

Thanks! :)

Glad to hear that!

Stick with it! Architecture isn’t going anywhere, you can always come back later in life and do a one year diploma in architecture to see if you like it.

Yes! Curtin University, where I teach, also requires portfolio for entry. What I look for in admissions is two things: 1. What are your skills? And 2. How do you think? (More important). We want to see that you are creative, passionate and willing to experiment. Start by practicing hand drawing basics, then do some creative experiments. I’ve also got some videos on my channel for portfolios, but these are portfolios for once you’re already in architecture, not before admission. Before admission we just want to see that you’re creative and experimental. Hope this helps, Chris

As per the description, this is not my work, the design is by awarded architects, Studio Bright. More importantly, you should be careful not to push your own culture onto others. What works in one culture and society may not work for others. Everyone is allowed to pursue their own dreams and passions free of judgement.

Ha. I’ll let the country know.

That’s just a reference list from one of the students, not relevant to the drawing tips.

Totally agree. New research is pushing into neurophenomenology. The overlap between neuroscience and psychology, and the felt-experience of architecture. The other side to what you’re discussing is Spatial Intelligence and the idea of Spatial History - that we experience architecture before we can even say the word, and that every experience we’ve ever had acts as a lens through which we view architecture as good or bad. Highly recommend reading Leon Van Schaik’s Spatial Intelligence. Great fields.

​@@ChrisMewburn Interesting! Isn't that strange? There's infinite space ...... you restrict that space, put a wall there and a window there and it creates a feeling, a flow of energy felt in our bodies. Strange and mysterious. In Jazz there is the term of "Freedom in the form (the musical piece)". Without any form (attempted in Free Jazz sometimes) there can't be felt any freedom. Freedom needs a form so we can feel the liberation. It cannot exist without restrictions. Strange.... It's like the transition space in the Collusseum where you enter from the outside, go through the narrow dark into the broad spectacle and fresh air. I can imagine how different those rooms sound going though them. And the way back: from the spectacle through the narrow dark (almost sobering) into the day to day live. It's like the bath-Architecture you presented. A similar experience of some sorts but more intimate!

That’s great, I’m glad I could help. A favourite book on Architecture basics is called “101 Things I Learned in Architecture School” Then, after that, another great entry book for architecture is called “Thinking Architecture” by Peter Zumthor. Enjoy, and let me know how you go.

I’d love to if I had the time. I am a full-time lecturer at Curtin University, and my workload is already stretched beyond capacity. I do also teach online in the Architecture course with Open Universities Australia, so if you were part of their course I’d be able to meet with you briefly to chat. Otherwise, I try to post all my content here and on my website for free, so you can have it all.

That is very high praise indeed. Thank you for the compliment!

@@ChrisMewburn you're welcome! :) Also checked your website and some of your essays / the intro to your master thesis. Seems, that you are fascinated by similar things as me in Architecture. I already studied music (and later computer science) as a teenager/young adolescent. The one thing I was unprepared for was how much the creative, child-like wonder can be stifled through the harsh shame and pressure by the teachers. For me it is a reeeeeaallly delicate balance to give students juuuuuuust enough solid basics so they can navigate this craft with ease and get more sufficient but at the same time respect what makes them unique and what they can bring to the world. I met a few teachers where I felt I could be myself while they were guiding me. And I met a lot of arrogant pricks. In you, I feel this calm fluidity and relaxed autonomy but also a true dedication to the Art/Craft. Is architecture Art? Is it a Craft? For me it is the sweet spot between both: a useful, practical survival-aspect, which respects that we are biological beings, and a transcendental aspect, which respects that we are spiritual beings and need more than 3 dimensions and matter. There's more than meets the eye. There's more than could be expressed by words. But at the end of the day I also just want to crash in my comfy home where I feel secure, sheltered and "held". :=)

@@Yetipfote wow, what a great message to receive. I’m humbled by your praise, and I agree with your reasoning. Nice one.

@@ChrisMewburn oh now I want to study with you even more.

Thank you for sharing, that’s great to hear. Thank you for your kind words too.

Glad I could help! I recommend talking to current college students studying architecture. They will be much closer to the action than I am. (I finished my Masters degree over 10 years ago, and I’m sure my opinions will be different to someone who is currently studying.) All the best!

Perhaps an overstatement, but I’ll take it, thank you!

Never too late, Doc. I have students in their 60s, 70s and 80s with similar stories. You could do a one year Diploma or a three year undergrad course to learn all the fun stuff without worrying about all the professional certification that comes later. Some of our students are happy just doing the three year course and designing small projects for themselves, family and friends. No need for the professional architect registration for that kind of work. Enjoy.

@@ChrisMewburn Definitely something I am considering in a few years time.

Glad you like it. Unfortunately I can’t share it as the house is designed by Studio Bright Architects and, therefore, not my intellectual property. You can download the drawings (images, not DWGs) from Studio Bright’s website.

@@ChrisMewburn ok thanks and waiting for more great content

So nice of you. Thank you.

You're welcome!

You are welcome!
