Thanks for keep updating this channel and giving useful advices to the newbies in architecture
you're so welcome :)
So I think there is a uniqueness to your blog. You are very calm and very thoughtful when you do your blogs. keep it up. I have been to Vancouver many times and always stays around the coal harbor area. My wife went to UBC for about 4 months for a course on films and films distribution. we love the city.
I am a middle schooler and aspiring architect. This channel has helped me grasp how the system works. Keep doing what your doing👍
You too 😊
I love your crisp and brief presentation.... God bless you dear.
Great to keep learning about you and your perspective. Thanks!
you're so welcome :)
I’m just finding your channel great content! I think it is a great idea for every young architect to work at a small scrappy residential firm. I’ve been at one for a year and learned exponentially more than I did in a longer amount of time at a larger firm. I’ve submitted over 50 projects for permit and now finally feel I have a sense of the profession
That's the best way to learn!!
You are an inspiration. Thank you for being such a wonderful person and exceptional professional. 🙏✨
I enjoy your videos so much. I love the presentation technique videos the most. I am stealing so much of your genius...thank you!
you're so welcome :)
i work in IT but really relate to a lot of your experiences. especially wanting to work in different countries, different areas etc. while at the same time building a foundation in my local area. time is such a huge limitation you really have to learn how to manage what you want to achieve. :) good content keep it up
IT is the same everywhere.
Getting a professional's perspective is very helpful in seeing what is to be expected. Thank you.
I love this channel, Great content
Thanks 😊
As usual, great video.
I am glad you are back
Great channel! Been longing for videos more suited for architects ( cad tutorials excluded ) :) Move to sweden and work here!
discovered your channel few days ago and I'm obssess!!
Welcome!!
Great video ! I would love to see twinmotion content on the Mac M1. I'm an interior designer and I just receive the 24' iMac :)
Glad that I found this channel.
DamiLee , I am a licensed LA practicing in Houston Texas for over 40 years. I have owned my own Design/Build/Maintain firm for 30 of those years. I am involved with very high-end Residential/ Commercial type work. I have really enjoyed following your channel . I would also enjoy having a conversation with you as I believe I can Share some insight from a different perspective.
All the best , Lanson B.Jones ASLA
What a QT ...prettiest Architect I've ever seen
Love your vids.......you have a really cool voice. If not an architect, you would have been a cool late-night DJ on a jazz radio station.
Love your videos
Just hopped on TH-cam and I am early it seems
You welcome friend❤️❤️❤️have a good day😄😄😄
lam not an architect but iam in construction as a tile setter and your channel has a lot of good ideas for life in general.
Great video. I wanted to know you're insight on landscape architecture 🤔
Next q&a!!
your*
I just love to watch you talk, although I have no idea what you are talking about most of the time. ;3
This channels actually good
To elaborate on the building code and a few points, Dami is correct... However! There are occasions where an architect (or other design officials) will not fight the city as they know the battle could be lengthy and fruitless, in my case I fought the city for two years (I won eventually) but time spent vs sacrifices made, makes it questionable if it was worth it. Also not all ACP (Acoustic ceiling panels) are expensive you can get the acoustic insulation cheaply, the fancy tiles are expensive. You can meet your minimums and still use tiles but maybe not the ones the artsy Corbusier wannabe designer likes. A small elaboration so all of the non architectural people don't think that all ACPs are bad and expensive.
Beutiful content + nice montage > 0
Hey DamiLee I love your personality I can say that you look perfect for this firm truly, I am from Asia it's my dream. To be an architect bit in my country architecture is not really given separate importance but this doesn't decrease my live for it so please tell me are there future opportunities in the world for architects? Its worth it ? Waiting for your kind reply 🥰
yes I think there's lots of future opportunities for architects :)
Mam your videos are so informative and good..!! 😄🤩😘
This queens channel will be huge within the next year i can just feel it, another great vid thank you!
Mehendi design in your hand was pretty🌹
I think im falling in love 😩
If you don't mind me asking. How old are you? You seem very mature and young at the same time. Awesome video's btw. As a novelist/screenwriter I find your content to be extremely beneficial to me as a Creator. You should consider writing a book on the creative process, You have a great mind in regards to the mechanics of creativity. Keep up the great work..👍
How old are you? You look very young to be a licensed architect. I’m going to architecture school this spring so excited!!
I like how you laugh at yourself sometimes. I do that all the time lol
Love your lighting setup. What are you using?
What made you choose architecture over any other career path?
It is kind of cute that when you checkout the other video you always point right corner of the video lol
As a 13-year-old really wanting to be an architect the programs are more expensive than I thought and I feel now I won't be prepared for when I go to college I am doomed :(.
yey
Hello! I’m a new subscriber, and… dang… You’re so beautiful!!! 💓
I work in a more industrial design environment (HVAC for paper machines) but really enjoy your content. Maybe I should've studied architecture lol.
I went to school for architecture and changed majors even tho I needed one more studio to get my degree , I am back in architecture and thinking about finishing my degree any tips? especially for being many years since I drawn anything
salut, j'aime bien tes vidéos et ton style. ton style semble minimalistement chic. Might I know what is you mic ? i find it really beautiful.
❤️
13:22 You get paid overtime!? And even time and a half!? That's a sign of architecture firms who has it together. (or maybe government mandate) I have not heard of architectural firms, at least not in my circle in the states, get paid for overtime. I've been in offices where we have to work overtime on short notice, sometimes on the weekends, in offices where overtime is so normal that office hours basically goes from 10-11AM to 10-11PM. smh...
Great video! I can relate to much of that!
I have a question that I can't get answers to it, I'm an architecture visualization freelancer and I've always wanted to know how professional firms or other freelancers in Canada/USA put their prices, I got confused so many times, sometimes I feel I'm underpricing my jobs and not getting paid what I should be getting paid and sometimes it's the opposite which is super confusing. How would you calculate the prices fairly ? Does it work by picture/render ? what if you use an engine (unreal/lumion/enscape...etc) does it change ? If anyone has ideas/knowledge please reply to this comment, Thank you 😇
it really depends on your skill, quality of drawings, and service. hard to give you a price, I've seen range from $150- $1500 per rendering
@@DamiLeeArch Thank you for the reply, really appreciate it 🙏
Hi Dami, I am studying in uk and I am a second year architecture student. I just wanted to say I really like your videos and I am soo happy that u gonna do more videos. I am also working part time every day 3 hr and while I am working I am listening to you. I would like to have also a question. What is the fastest way to get a job after graduation? I mean outside of university I am doing nothing what is related to architecture..Do you think this could have an impact on me when I will apply for my first job? I am a little bit stressed about this.
Thanks Anett
By experience, what I can tell you is that the day you will join a firm you'll understand that university is the university and a job is a job. what you study in architecture universities is more of the fun part, doing an exercise with a problem and finding solutions, in general designing. In a firm that's not just that and when you'll start you gonna probably do the boring part. also 70% of the time you're gonna learn new things about how the firm works and how actual architecture is outside of school. Don't be stressed we all crossed that somehow first 15 days it's tough than you get used to everything and you'll manage to adapt and learn. Good luck o/
Start preparing your portfolio now so that when it's time for you to start applying, you're ready. If you don't know already, learn programs like Revit, Archicad or Vectorworks (check out job boards in your city and see what the most programs are) and try to do a project in one of the softwares and include that in your portfolio. Apply in april of the year you plan to start working, so you can be a little ahead of other people. Good luck :)
I'm inlove now
I need to visit Venice.
The issue you spoke on about working moms, tech industry has had that issue for decades now too. Why people kept asking how come so little women in tech.
Hey some some cinematographer tips, increase your lens f-stop to get a sharper image. I will help use to see all of your face in-focus.
You’re gorgeous Dami 😘
I'M EARLY
Yep, that's what Jordan B. Peterson says, women have only so much time to do certain things if they want to experience motherhood and all that goes with it. There is only so much time available in life and having kids early isn't the only one, it is also more wise to get an education early too, it is better to start saving money/investing early, but these other things aren't as gender specific as motherhood. Good luck in your life journey. I learned how to speak Korean near fluently while doing an internship there about 10 years ago.
Hello Dami I have been watching your video lately and they have been inspiring
I'm a student Architect in Nigeria and here the educational system is not touching the important parts of design can you suggest materials and courses that can help me design better particularly
merging a multi storey car park with an hotel .I was faced with this problem and I will love to design greatly
I just subbed cause your pretty.
Hia Dami, I know you kinda talked about this in the video but how is the landscape for architects to work abroad, are there reasonable opportunities or you are pretty much tied to the country you got your degree in? I'm only asking because I'm from Portugal and wages aren't very good here.
Go to Norway, Sweden, Japan, Australia, USA, Canada, UAE....
They have the wealth to afford such aesthetic stuffs. Go there..
I don't think you're tied to the country you went to school in, but once you get your license, you will be more tied to the place where you got licensed (because license procedure is based on local code / building standards)
Do you use notion for organizing your tasks?
yep!
😊
A question:
How come that it's not possible to get to the buildingcode as a citizen ?
In Denmark and the rest of scandinavia, everybody has access to basic buildingcode and law.
:)
You can get access no problem, it's understanding that counts.
building code is free and accessible online to anyone, but understanding / deciphering it is almost impossible for someone without some education in code. My dream is for someone to develop an app that can give everyone easy access to this.
Okay, interesting.
I do understand that it's not possible to understand everything. But for an example building a house is easy to understand. But getting a permit, you still need an engineer to calculate a lot of things that a citizen cant. But the citizen do know what is needed for the permitt. We do have strict rules here and easy to read the codes and understand. I would love to talk more. This is an interrestung topic.
Getting lost in the city🤩
I wonder if you have ever worked with Service Designers? It seems that more and more urbanism and policy making projects includes or are led by Service Designers.
I subbed cuz you're wholesomely beautiful ♥️
My country is not regonize international and i am an architect student i read about an article the other day that i need an international certificate to be an architect is that correct and does master or degree matter?
Palestine?
Late question: is it true that Canadians drink milk from a bag (rather than a gallon jug or carton for example)?
no 😂
Where was the talk about money?
I just graduated from architectural Technology, i am thinking of getting a job immediatly , Can u give some advice, i really want to be Free, i want to work But i dont want it to be limited, i wanna go whenever i wanna go
beautiful dami
💘💘💘💘
Hi Dami, what I'm looking at you for is my company has nothing to do with architecture. We work with governments, manufacturing, inventions etc. I need a good smart talker, and to see the big picture. I think you may be the person I need. I think everybody would agree. Oh are you married? Because you were talking about having a family in the future.
💍
I wonder why mandates to place women in organisations aren't worded more generally. Like when you say that a minumum of 50% must be women, you can have 100% women and still be considered fair because it met the criteria of a 50% minimum. They should word it like "the council shall be made up of an equal number of men and women" - so you automatically cover all angles without advantaging or disadvantaging either group.
Do architects still draw on paper?
Yepp at our office we still draw because it's the fastest way to communicate ideas 😊
@@DamiLeeArch I remember a kid at my college who was in some kind of architect discipline and he was telling me actual drawing with paper and pencil is no more. Still, if I was in that field I'd want to perfect my drawing skills, I mean if you see creativity as instrumental to the field then you'd have to encourage it by things like that. And anyway, anyone whose read the Fountain Head and is in the architect world without ever knowing a drawing room is gonna feel very inadequate.
Just came to say you have such a beautiful face!
great great women that i like :)
Hi Dami, can you -
I just like looking at your face.
Do you mind if I ask how old you are?
As a fellow Asian Canadian, it warms my heart to see fellow Asian architects! Especially Asian women in such a cisgendered white dominated industry (:
