A big thanks to Illia for his participation in the documentary. It was great to get a glimpse into the day in a life of a drafter / BIM manager.
Do you ever wonder what happens in a day in the life of drafter or BIM manager? In this full interview, you’ll hear from Illia, a draftsman and BIM manager at Baukultur, an architectural practice in South Australia.
Illia gives us an insight into his role as drafter and BIM manager of an architectural practice. He explains his day from morning to evening, walking through the most common jobs he works on and what he enjoys most and least about his role as an architect and founding director. Lastly, Illia gives advice to students and aspiring drafters in order to be successful as a drafter.
What an architect does is typically hidden behind closed doors. But, as architecture students, how do we know what we are getting ourselves into? Why is it such a mystery as to what an architect does? The profession of architecture might not be as glorious as it seems.
In this full architecture documentary, you will witness what a day in the life of an architect looks, feels, and tastes like (spoiler: coffee). Truthfully, the life of an architect is not all sunshine and rainbows. Despite the stress, late nights and years of rigorous study and practice . . . in the end, is it worth becoming an architect? Is the architecture life rightfully exalted?
The documentary “Behind Closed Doors - The Life of an Architect” will bring you along a day in the life of architects, interior architects, interior designers, draftsmen, BIM managers, landscape architects, graduates of architecture, intern architects and architecture students.
From morning to evening, you will experience what it is like in the life of an architect. This will help you decide whether it is something you might be interested in doing or continuing. Maybe you are not cut out for the life of an architect?
The late architect, Zaha Hadid once said “if you want an easy life, don’t become an architect”.
In the architecture documentary, you will discover what Hadid was talking about. What are these big challenges you will need to learn to overcome? More importantly, HOW can you overcome them?
The interviewees in this documentary provide an insight into their lives within the architecture profession. They share their biggest struggles, favourite moments, advice to their younger selves and answer the question “is it all worth it?”.
If you have ever thought about studying architecture or becoming an architect, this documentary is a must watch. So much of what an architect does is hidden behind closed doors. So, let us open them. Let us dive into the life of an architect behind closed doors.

As an Project Engineer/Architectural Drafter, I love my career. It opens alot of opportunities in the future and is always in demand. If anyone can get their foot in the door, go all in.
The hard part is getting my foot in the door.. Especially for me, being in my mid-forties..
What did you study to become a drafter
@@rubyanbiah7211 it depends which type of drafter you are pursuing. In my case, I studied AutoCAD/Revit , engineering and design , understanding the codes and regulations etc. the list goes on
How about CHATGPT? We have so many people in the drafting department who lost their jobs because of it.
Awesome interviews man. these provide great insights for us architecture students :b
Thanks Luis. Really glad you're enjoying them. Cheers
Cool, the advise i would give to young people still in school/uni is, learn programming, our profession benefits a lot from good programmers making tools and things more easy for us technicians.
i personally believe the top tier BIM coordinators / drafter are the ones who have the hands on field experience with their drafting trade. i am a plumbing mechanical pipe drafter. i worked out in the field as a journeyman plumber for 10 years before advancing into the office. Once i learned the modeling software it was a wrap, knowing the trade already gives me a huge advantage over others and in coordination meetings. i didn't go to school at all other then my trade school for plumbing
Mind sharing how you got into the field of drafting? I come from plumbing as well and am trying to get into drafting. Everyone seems to want some type of degree in CAD/Drafting. Thank you!
@@danm5780I’m going into BIM too,
My best recommendation if not yet is join a union! They offer free classes which gives you leverage to learn the skill for free and advance on!
@@danm5780 Just apply anyway. Someone will hire you.
Ty for the insight
Thanks for watching James
Nice video!
Thanks!
@@kylesinko I am also a draftsman and graduate architect. I love your content.
@@cjnoble I'm so glad to hear! Thank you!
@@kylesinko Yes. BTW I have a group that is growing and I just think if we can invite you there. A lot of Filipino architecture students are inside there.
@@cjnoble that sounds awesome. Feel free to send me a link either here or send me a personal message on instagram
2015 ITT-Technical Institute graduate. How do I land more job experience?
Ask more people for experience!
Sounds like a dumb response but the more you put yourself out the more opportunities you'll receive
Hey Kyle, are you still working in SA ?
Solid interview imo, but wish I could hear the host's questions better.
I know that for next time, thanks for the feedback Ruth!
What age can you say its too late to take/continue architecture school?
Never too late!
Would have been, never stop dreaming of it
I'll be an international student in Sydney and I just graduated as Civil Engr in my country, knowing my degree wont be applied in Australia, I am excited to study (civil) and apply starter drafting jobs in Sydney, hope I will be accepted.
Awesome! Great work and good luck Abby
Which country?.. so your taking it the second time?
yes

Last but not least, DO NOT take a student loan for that degree. The job market is shaky for any construction right now. Plus, the entry level drafting pays horribly (((.
I did freelance drafting for 3 years
As a drafter I myself love this but to all the draftsman security is always booming they need plans
Awesome Lillianne, you're so right. Thanks for watching :)
How did you learn? School or self taught? Im in construction right now but have been wanting to get more into the Office setting and have always loved drawing and being creative.. but i dont have a degree, so im not sure how feasible it is for me. I'm also 29 which makes it harder.

Can I become a drafter, even though im studying a Civil Engineering degree?
I'm a noob, what does BIM stand for?
Building Information Modelling :)

I'm finding my Bachelor of Architectural Design course to be less about job-ready skills, that will help in the real world, and more about indoctrination and artsy fartsy bullshit.. It's really quite frustrating.. There's very minimal taught on drafting, CAD, and especially anything to do with designing structures that can actually be built.. I'm actually looking to transfer to a drafting course, and revit courses..
I found that the case too, especially for the first year. Though I think it does get into more practical skills, it’s a slow journey to get there, mainly doing more practical stuff in the final years.
@@kylesinko I've actually had the opposite experience.. The first year seemed to be much more fundamental information, and I felt like I was learning the trade, but since moving onto the studios, I've found them to be ridiculously removed from reality.. I'm thinking of changing my studies to a drafting course, and doing some revit courses.. Will get me into the workplace, I believe..
@@robertneale7326 Not a bad move, you can always come back to the bachelor's course later once you do some industry work. You might need some of that "arty farty" stuff to feel revitalised after being tainted by the industry, haha maybe not.
@@kylesinko Yeah.. I don't really know what to do.. Lol.. But have followed your channel for a while now, I enjoy your content, and thoroughly enjoyed the doco you did..
How about ChatGPT? We have so many people in the drafting department who lost their jobs because of it.
The dude in the video tells Nothing about those issues. Kids, puppies, happy go lucky, but nothing about finding a job for it. Unbelievable!
how many canadian dollar make a drafter ?
Do you know any drafter on the autism spectrum? I'm interested to take a drafting course and I'm on the spectrum
Hey Sally, I don't in particular but I can see drafting being a good role for you. I'd say there's only one way to find out, by trying it :)
I'm draftsman i need job
1000% as many other thousand drafters.
