- Hi. My name is Doug Patt. And this is So You want to be an Architect? A seven part series exploring the architect. This is lesson two. What does an architect make? On the surface this sounds like a dumb question. An architect makes buildings. But if you look below the surface youll see that the answer is much more meaningful. Ralph Waldo Emerson (who lived from 1803 1882), was a well-known writer, philosopher and poet. He said of Greek architecture, it is the flowering of geometry. Translated, Emerson was referring to the Greek architects elaboration and mastery of shape and form. Anne Louise Germaine de Stael (who lived from 1766 1817) is a little known Swiss author who lived in Paris and abroad. She is quoted as saying architecture is frozen music. In simple terms her comment means that architects make a kind of static harmony of sound. Philip Schaff (who lived from 1819 1893) was a Swiss born, Protestant theologian. He said, architecture is a handmaid of devotion, a beautiful church is a sermon in stone. Elaborating a bit on Shaffs comment we can imply that architecture, like a sermon, is also a kind of message or story. And finally John Ruskin an author, poet and artist (who lived from 1819 1900) said of architecture that the mere sight of it, may contribute to (his) mental health, power and pleasure. In other words architecture is an Inspiration. So, lets move beyond the specifics of what each person what referring to and draw some general conclusions. In simple terms, these four individuals tell us then that an architect makes form, stories, music and inspiration. So lets take a look at a couple examples of each. When I think of architecture as shape or form I think of Frank Gehry, famous for pushing the limits of modern technology while creating monuments to modern engineering and form making. Some examples of this are his museum in Bilboa, the Stata Center or his Disney concert hall. When I think of architecture telling me a story I think of Frank Lloyd wrights Guggenheim museum that tells a story from the outside about how one moves through the spiraling galleries on the inside. Or the Pompidou center in Paris that tells a color-coded story from the outside about the mechanical inner workings that make this machine like building function on the inside. When I think of architecture as beautiful music I think of the buildings of Eero Saarinen whos work resembles naturally soaring forms as they strain to hit the high note or the way Frank Lloyd Wrights falling water harmoniously blends into nature and almost sings with the waterfall it sits above. When I think of architecture as an inspiration I think of the great cathedrals of Europe & the US or the great skyscrapers of our cities. So while some may think that architecture is just about making buildings you know that making architecture is about making much more than just a box with windows. Its about making form, story, music and Inspiration. And that concludes the second part of our video series so you want to be an architect. Im Doug Patt. See you next time on how to architect.
That was the most beautiful lesson I've heard today...and I went to church this morning! Literally in love with these videos.
I want to be an Architect! So, this helps a lot! xD thx u for upload great videos
did you been an architect?
did it become true? or are you dead? (no offence)
Are you there
did you become what u wanted to be
This will gelp me for minecraft
ya
Absolutely. No math shits needed.
Hi, I'm studying architecture and this is my first year! Your videos inspire me a lot and help me explain to people what architecture is and stuff... Thank you so much, your videos are the best ever. You really are and artist.
hey! how did it go?
hey dingus wow!!! Hi, this was 9 years ago! Okay so I graduated as an architect in 2016, by that time I found out I was more into urban planning so I went on and got a specialized masters in urban planning and urban project management. I am now working as a business developer for a company that specializes in individual mobility and parking solutions. I know, not what you would expect from an architect but I think our studies open our minds to being able to work as almost anything. Maybe not a nurse or a doctor lol.
So yeah, architecture school was definitely one of the most challenging times of my life and working in architecture firms very tiring (all nighters are NOT for me) but I am so happy and proud to be an architect 😊
Very inspirational for a future architect. I love your videos!
Thank you! This can help me accomplish my dream of being an architect!
You are an outstanding teacher and an inspiration to the youth!
falling water. absolute favorite.
This video is The Greatest!! Thank you for helping me on my journey :)
If I go to school for this, will it improve my drawing skills? Cause I want to be an architect and my drawing skills are not the best, but I can manage on creating some ideas.
Hey, how are you?
Did you end up studying architecture? :3
Hi I am an archi student! It's ok if you're not good in drawing. Having skills in drawing is an advantage for achitecture, but it is not required.. Pursue your dreamsss! :)
@@jmc4531 Hi I'm a high school student that is going to college next year. I'm studying for architecture but it's really hard to think about design ideas. I'm good at drawing but I can't find a good design idea to draw. Can you give me ideas of how I can get new architecture ideas please? (Also English isn't my first language so if my grammar or spelling is wrong, sorry.)
@Jiwon kim .. Find some inspirations for you to gather some ideas.. Or you can go to some places like museums, malls, and other places you think can help you gain ideas..;)
@@jiwonkim5142 also read some books like architecture dictionary so you'll know how to design and plan accurately
Do you like being an architect?
This is a very well done tutorial Doug, and I'm in high school right now and as soon as i get out im going to follow my dream to become a Architect, I love the work of Frank Lloyd Wright, hes my inspiration. This tutorial is really helping me =] Thanks so much.
Hello! how are you doing now? I'm in highschool now as well and I really want to become an architect too.
@TheAgeofShadows I've seen that quote on a shirt attributed to Goethe and on other sites, but I've got a book that was published in the late 1890's that attributes it to De Stael. I do know however that Goethe and De Stael lived at about the same time...
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO .
This helped me understand architecture more and now I'm SURE I want to be an architect.
hey! how are you and how did it go?
@@MM-jy2zg I pivoted to motion graphic design, then became an art director, and now am teaching design basics & animating at work using a pretty old but relevant software - adobe animate ^-^ I still have my architecture books and an appreciation for learning about buildings in the context of art history :') thanks for asking! this was such an unexpected blast from the past
Your drawing skills scares the hell out of me.
i am only 10 but i want to an architect and i will follow my dream and no one will stop me c:
Hey. What do you do now? Im 17 btw.
hello sir i have a problem.. i want to become an engineer/architect someday but if i try to draw a house i dont know how to start. i have no idea how to draw it.. :'(
+Evan Cooper thank you so much sir :)
Here are two good methods, I suggest you do the first one then the second, or both simultaneously-
1. Draw at least one building that you find interesting or cool or weird or just any building that intrigues you that you see or pass by once a day. Start from pictures of the house and work your way to doing it from memory.
2. Draw a box- yes a box- and keep shaving it down until you reach a shape that you think would be nice for a building of your choosing. Then after that go on to the finer details.
This is essentially training your mind to get the idea of how to design and think of your own ideas to create ideas for building houses. The more you do it, the better you'll get and the closer you'll get to achieving your goal. Hope this helped! :)
Honestly, it’s less drawing to make it look nice and more planning so that you can understand how to construct it
Basically just draw it in a way you can understand
The bottom of it.
I want to be a architect! These videos help alot!!!!
You should really put an annotation to link to the other parts of these videos. It's quite frustrating to go and look for part 3, etc. :)
Great video, you're really helping me in my choice to become an architect!
I sucked at geometry last year, but as a sophmore people are very impressed by my designs
in Drawing, you could get art classes. either in private or in groups. I am not that old myself really. I had the luck of starting out with drawing, (which i can safely say i am decent at it) and i've been interested in Architecture for about...maybe 4 to 5 years now. don't panic and try to learn everything at once. art is quite a complicated but wonderful thing to learn. you'll have to know how to paint (basics) and sketch. good luck :)
just go to my channel. they're all there. I'll create a playlist too. thanks for the suggestion.
wow...it would be little to say that you are great..so helpfull..
So in other words architecture is creating a master piece
austin green Exactly. And that's how all art is. Architecture is art :)
I always wanted to be an architect but I love the arrogance that comes with being a top-notch engineer. Though I am always told I look like someone who should be an architect (I dress funny) [laughs] Your videos remind me of my passion for architecture. Well done.
Please sir, I studied Architecture for a year in a university but dropped out due to funds... I'm very good at Art and good at Maths, can you give me a guide from going to a dummy to an architect, books to read, videos to watch etc (of course without the qualification, just the passion I have to design) including construction
one word WOW!!!!!hhow creative!!
amazing video cant wait to learn more
Am I the only one that wants a print of the drawing Doug made in this video? Name your price man.
great video
Most of the examples you gave have fundamental problems, like the museum in Bilbao, Spain, has a space (the one that haves a window, you can see it from the bridge) that doesnt have any use. The museum in New York have problems with the position of the art and people who are allways fighting against gravity and the insufficent bathrooms. 1/4 part of the building of Frank Lloyd W. were demolished.
Actually it was Mimar Sinan, an Ottoman architect, civil engineer and warrior that said that. But who knows for sure, perhaps he found it written on papyrus and then destroyed it and took credit. Anything is possible. He was close friends with Michelangelo they'd write letters to eachother discussing very cool stuff. Also Leonardo Da Vinci was one of the homies. I just made this shit up.
thanks for the info man i still cant decide what i should major in.I can draw well but i dont like math :/
I start studying architecture next sunday thx though :)
Not til you reach 3rd to 4th year, Statics, Strength of Materials, Steel & Timber, Arstruct :O
lol am sure of that the degree am getting is a BS of architecture
Duudee i feel you!!!!
@@ali932 how did it go?
I'm only 14, and I've wanted to be an Architect for about 6 years now. I'm definately not a very good drawer. Does that mean I could never reach my dream of being an Architect??
Can you tell me what song is playing in the bagground?
nice work too :)
You know what? architecture is not just a designing profession but also it includes planning,massing and analyzing. .that is what my present instructor told me about being an architect
ahhh... dis is inspiring... :)
Indeed it is
... that was fucking beautiful...
hmm...i am no professional at architecture...but i think i have answers to some of your questions. 1. there are various types of Architecture. you need certain knowledge as an Architect to do your job. for example, there are Architects with majors to design in cities, being able to do their work in such a limited amount of land. while others, specify in ecological design. (you know, "green" buildings and such :D) so it depends ^^
I love your music
I’m in school. I want to be an architect. How can I do this?
@EpicRCRacer26
That depends on the architecture school, doesn't it? In the school I've thought of going to, there are maths and natural science qualifications needed (no art). It's surely the same in other schools.
Thanks for posted this video, hahahaha now i see it... i realized how special we are, for good or bad, =D
I am in 12th.
And I need guide to be an architect.
Prototyype17 I'm only 12 and I've been into architecture for about 2 years now. I've only started to get really interested. Ive looked up the subjects that I need to be good at and I've been told that they're math, English, s&e, relatively good at computers and art. I'm about an A and B grade at these subjects and I'm working hard but I suck at drawings too. How could I get better at my drawings and are there any other subjects I need to work on?
Love the song. any references?
mmm...thanks...alot...hope it helps...its bout architecture?what arch is all about right?
What's the level of math that is necessary for architecture? like Low,medium,high. because I'm struggling in math and absolutely hate it. But my dream is to be an architecture and I'm worried that I won't be able to become one if I don't have high knowledge and understanding of mathematics
this was awesome
Woot time to go play Minecraft Like A Boss!!!!!
can u tell me how much math is includded and what kind of math like..angles and stuff???pl help me choose the right carreeerr..
hello, Architect Patt, please let me use your video series of *So You Want To Be An Architect* in our National Architecture Week, Philippines..
I will surely credit your channel... Hoping for your approval..
thank you very much =)
hey im 15 and ive been planning for being an architect for like 5-6 years
ive got good skills in algebra and geaometry
and i have a good creativity but im not good in drawing , does that mean that i cant be an architect??
Where do I download the BGM? I have to have it on my Playlist.
@andorhalier its petromax building in malaysia
I'm 13 and live in England. I am in Year 9 at the moment and I really want to become an architect. If anyone out there would like to give me any pointers on what degrees to take Ect. Please do so. Thank you.
I attended Howard university 's school of architecture during the vietnam conflict, I was 2-s r.o.t.x. of course at 18 years old I was able to gain 18 credit hour's.
thx.... 4 the info....
I'm not 17 yet, but I know I wanna be an architect ! :D
Architecture is also a box that protects you from wet, hot and cold weather.
300,000 views from Part 1 but only 144,000 on Part 2. I guess 156,000 people don't want to be architects...
What is your yearly income ?
I dont care about money, i just wanted to be one, because it sounda fun
It'd be quite hard to hear frozen music
thx this realy help me out i want to be an architect so i can when i grow up ill be rich but its more then that
Architects don't get payed very much... but if you love it its worth doing
***** true
Architects make on average 60,000 in us which is a lot...
I would totally career change if I could have Ted mosby and this guy as teachers
Help*
its my dream to be an architect but im afraid im lacking some skills in drawing and am not very creative. Can I be an architect if i lack these? i dont really want those problems to be a hindrance. Can you help? some advices?
There's this art channel called Sycra that could really help you with this problem. It's not all about architecture, but he will help you with your art skills and creativity. I also suggest you look into concept art.
thanks...i am trying to find out more bout the proffessio though...thanks for the help...means alot...if u hav any info for me tht cud b of help....tht wud b gr8...!!
what's the building name at 3:07 ?
When you enter University for architecture, and you aren't very good in fiscs and math, and you sick at drawing. Do they teach you the basics?
Of the fiscs math, etc. That is needed.
yes they do. but you'll have to work harder than everyone else to get caught up.
don't be anything then
Really helpful, but not what I want
I was here to find out the basics of architecture for a test but it doen't show most of it in a book that explains architecture.
Why are you using an internet video clearly aimed at future architects to study for a test bro?
I'm good at maths, English, art ,design and technology, pe, German, history, beliefs and values, ict, geography, drama, music. So...???
Sex
you're much qualified
I love you.
can you give me some advice sir? :(
i fucking bombed geometry, there is no way i could do it for a living
I'm pretty good at Art but not the best at maths, would I ever be able to be an architect?
With hard work and dedication you put in to your effort, you will soon become an architect ;D but don't forget, don't think to your self that an Architect is hard or challenging to do. I know you can do it and your dream job will soon be accomplished :D
+Venture._.splatoons c: thank you so much, now I have more confidence to achieve my dream 😉
+The Exotic Gamer Glad I helped you 😊 But one more thing, Don't do it for the money (Archetiect's get lots of money :0). Do it for the passion and love you put in to your job ;) When I become an architect, I can build a big house for my family to live in and... yea mostly houses XD I got inspired by this from building a lego house 😂
I like your spirit. :)
For this job you need biology and physics and maths and art
+steven moussaed Hold on, why biology?
Guess what?? I wanna be an architect...!
no, i cant take jokes, no matter what size shape and form they come, just not the funny man. get it?
God im bad at math but im good at music XD
Only starving architects draw with carbon tip sticks. In this modern world we use computer software. This guy is old.
No... the video is old
I good with math but not art So?
Engineering is best for you m8
I'm an architecture student, and what I found out is that you don't need to be good in art, meaning you do not need to have excellent painting, drawing, sculpting skills. These can be easily taught to you. What you need is to be able to think outside the box. The goal of an architect is to solve multi-dimensional problems. You must also have a good eye for detail.
+Christopher Hardy thank you sir
IMAGINATIONNNNN nothing else :D
can the girls be architects?
Giao Luongngoc ofc
That's where am going
It's a make dominant job
But i find it all the more interesting when you beat the guys at their own game
dude you talk to fast, but thanks for the info! :)
you are luck incarnate.
i like your videos, but your music, well not the best choice.
Very, very poor explanation and the fact that is for beginners doesn't make it better. Personally, I hate romanticizing architecture especially this white washed crap with churches and poetry. All most important features are missed: facilitator of human interactions, inclusion, enabler of spatial justice, focus on inclusivity, listener, social contribution, shaping city without discrimination. Sorry but this poetry, music and symmetry is important but not even close as to the real purposes of architecture and architect.
