Hi! i'm from Brazil, i'm Civil engineering technicians, associates degree Arch and Interior Design and studying post-degree Comercial architecture. Your class is amazing. Well done.
Hi! I’m 13 and I’ve been inspired to be an architect by the people that surrounded me in a young age. I have no Idea where to start, and I’ve been practicing my drawing skills. This has been really helpful for teens who needs Ideas what architecture looks like, thank you! Keep up the good work.
As others have said. Thank you for these videos! Used to trade schools started teaching job specifics to preteens. Now we wait until college. My son has expressed a desire to be an Architect since 1st grade. I am not an architect. I have bought him many books on it. But am so thankful for these videos. Lectures have an extra degree of explanation that are not in the books. My goal is for him to have the basics down. So that college or university can really further his understanding. (As long as he continues to express his desires to become an Architect).
I wanted to become an architect all my youth (slept with a copy of Neufert's Architect's Data under my pillow. And then ended up doing medicine. Now, at the age of nearly 50, I start watching architecture lectures online. I really enjoyed this one.
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.
An epic series! In this video it's great that all drawings are still schematic but even then there are lots of examples on how to represent different things by simple tweaks to line type, weight and opacity. A good foundation to later learn construction drawings, and read wall/floor/roof compositions and junction details :)
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!
hello!! I am an architecture student in my 2.nd year study in turkey & I have just watched your video and i feel like.. i am really happy and i really enjoyed it !! Thanks !! keep it up i wanna watch lectures for the upper years too !! This is really interesting way of teaching and it will help me with my Academic English words as well so i think it is really useful Thanks again XD ! and that made me think i really have to put in my mind studying in Australia at least !!^!!.and yeah have a good day !
Sorry if I’m asking to questions but I was kind of curious why their is a cut from A-A and a cut from b-b. Why would you need a cut that’s going through an architectural floor plan?
@@zgamez3419 The cuts represent where the sections would be cut. If you're interested in learning more about how architectural drawings work, read Julia McMorrough's Drawing for Architects.
Thank you so much for this!! I've been looking for basic architecture lessons and this one is much more easier to understand than others, I'm 13 and don't know where to find books about this so this is very helpful!! I've shared it with a friend since his dream is to be an architect too :D
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.
There is any full video of these classes ? I really like architecture and Structures but Unfortunately don't have the opportunity to go uni These series really helps ,thanks a lot from thailand
im 15 years old and i just started high school im south african and ive been thinking about doing architecture since i was in the fourth grade..it has always been my intrest now i want to know if its really something i want to presue or is it something that just intrests me and im still inlove and see myself doing this in uni since ive been getting almost all the answers right and i truly cant wait for uni and became a architect
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.
Love the video, thank you. However @13:56 the above head cupboards in the kitchen are terrible Feng Shui. Imagine plates of glass items falling from above head height.
I teach the architectural design program at a local high school here in Pearl City, Hawaii. Your videos have been extremely helpful in breaking things down! Random question, do you think it's better to focus/develop students with Revit or Sketchup at the high school level?
Glad you like them. The way I structured our course is Sketchup first to give students the opportunity to learn the fundamentals and play with 3D forms, Rhino second to explore boundless creativity, and Revit third to tie in with their gained knowledge of construction techniques, materials and legislation. To answer your question, Sketchup would give students more freedom to explore, and could lead to many different pathways, whereas Revit is really a tool for documenting how something must be built. Of course you can be creative in Revit too, but I argue that at a high school level, it will be easier to be creative in Sketchup. Ultimately, it’s up to the students, you, and the intention of the curriculum.
Generally speaking - width, you usually have a wider external door to allow furniture and appliances to get in; and the thickness/solidness of the door leaf. Many practices will draw internal doors without a leaf (rectangle) for the door and just us a single line, reserving the full leaf (rectangle) for external doors only to represent the difference.
do you have any advice for high school graduates who are struggling to whether or not to choose architecture? i just finished high school with gpa of 90.33 which is an A grade. all my objects were higher than 94 except math in which i had 64 because i didnt study well in the subject throughout the year or even my three whole years in high school would that cause problems in college architecture?
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.
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.
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.
Fair enough. The students are the ones giving the answers, but there are no room mics, so there’s not much I can do about that. Try listening with headphones to see if you can hear the answers. Otherwise, they’re all universal dimensions, that’s the whole point of “conventions” - so you can look them up too.

How kind of you. Thank you for watching.
Great work! Thank you! Helpful to refesh my design perspective like a new architecture student!
Glad it was helpful!
As a 15 y old who wants to figure out what uni to choose these online lectures are amazing
Glad you like them, thanks!
sameee
SAME ❤
amazing stuff! i just finished my first year in arch design and have been confused on some concepts. this helped me clear up confusion. thank you!
Great to hear!
You are an excellent professor. Wish I had you in my early years !
Thanks! Very kind of you.
Great video for Junior Architects as well ❤
Glad you think so!
im in middle school and im considering going into architechture after high school, this is all really helpful. thank you!

Best lecturer ever I had
Very kind of you!
Hey man!! Thankyou for the video lecture. I’m only 15 right now; I’m kind of bored this summer so I decided to watch some lectures!
Good on you! You're certainly ahead of the curve.
@@ChrisMewburn I mean it’s nothing crazy because it’s only first year architect. I’m going into my 2nd year of highschool.
Also I wanted to ask, are you an architect? Or do you just teach others?

Glad you enjoyed the video. That’s the whole class.
A medical student with a childhood dream of architecture passed here❤
Never too late. Depending on your university, they might let you add one or two architecture units to your degree as electives.
My childhood dream architecture ❤️🤧
Go for it!

Never too late. I have students in their 70s
I'm abdihakim. I need this how to learning?
wow😢
great content❤.
i wish i'm a student there
which university?
Curtin University. This lecture was Perth/Boorloo, Australia, but Curtin has other international locations too.

What type of measurement did you guys use because I use inch and I can't understand about mil 😅?
“Mill” is millimeters. 100mill is about 4 inches :)

usefull
Glad you think so. Thanks!
what do you use to make the sketches you use on your slides?
AutoCAD first and then I clean them up in Adobe Illustrator so that lineweights are appropriate for the screen presentation.

I would like to pay you to mentor me or give me a personal course on Architectural background?

So, a shower in 3 ft?
Yes that’s standard, but trends are moving towards larger models and two-person models
amazing, the channel I was looking for all this time 🫡
