Your coworkers seem really fun! That office is so nice
For sure they are! We have many funny conversations.
I love the culture at Red Dot Studio! So awesome that you always have these weekly potluck days! And Linea coffee 😍 so good!
Thank you Rose! The culture is one of kind, so is the CEO.
Thanks a lot , this is just so truthful and clear for students like me to actually know what its like to work in CA , I am certain that many would really like to see more of your working and living environments especially when it looks like you are a Chinese immigrant (just a kind assumption) , cuz I am Chinese studnet in Shanghai looking for my adventure to apply to a north America architecture degree in a few years , your life seems perfect for me except the 2 hour daily traffic that seems really scary , thanks , keep up the good work
Can relate. Nice video!
This reminds me of my job. It’s completely different, I work in a bakery but it feels like family every time I work. You have a great job hopefully I can find this in my next job 🤞🏽
Great video, thanks for sharing. Very interesting to see what's the real life of an architect looks like. Also, very very polished vlog. Good job!
Glad you found it insightful Daniel! Thanks for the compliment too.
Woww architects must do their jobs in a workplaces like this... its just perfect
really nice routine
Nice office! I like how your day goes! I would like to work there too, someday! Keep vlogging! Thanks for sharing man!
Why Red Dot, small but remarkable design office?🙌👏
Right on, small by mighty with design. Definitely apply if you are interested.
I would love for my work hours to be from 10am-5:30pm 😔 Thanks for sharing your day with us!
I think this is specially true with Covid, we all just want to spend more time working from home, which is an option! What’s your work hours like at your office?
@@HenryGaoAbsolutely. To also be given the opportunity for a bit more work flexibility is great. I currently work 9-6pm and the idea of being able to leave work earlier and have more time at home sounds lovely.
Hi Henry. Thanks for sharing. I am an AECT student in Hawaii, and I am majoring in architecture. I am very passionate about architectural design and really want to get in the AEC industry. Ive been submitting resumes to architecture/construction firms here in hawaii but never receive anything back, cuz they require degree. Now, Hawaiian electric just responded to me and i was interviewed as a junior draftsman. Im just a little concerned, though I am thankful, cuz it is a different trade and i might be drafting electrical and it is not aligned to my major. Is the job a good jumpstart to my career as a future architectural/civil draftsman? Thank you, Henry!
Hi... Please can you kindly list out the software you use both on your CPU and Android.. just want to learn from you and be on track cos I'm also an architect. Thanks...
VERY NICE EPISODE, Can you please share with us more about what architects exactly do, especially in your firm? what is working process, details etc. BIG THANK YOU HENRY.😇😇🤓
definitely will consider adding this content in the future.
Your baby is precious. 💕
Aww! Thank you, that’s sweet of you to say.
A dream. An absolute dream
10 am to 5:30 pm? Break included? Is this the normal avarage Worktime?
What codes and regulations book do architects in California must follow when designing a residential house?
CBC
Hi I have long experience design houses out of US, now I am in Orlando can I start a freelance design service ?
Your baby is really cute may God bless him
Thanks so much! Actually a girl but I know it’s hard to tell at this age.
@@HenryGaocute baby girl 😘
At least you're not in NYC hoping on dirty subway carts. But, yes that's about it, the life of an architect. The paycheck vs. the amount of effort and time to produce a set of good quality drawings doesn't correlate. Good luck in your endeavors 🙏🇺🇸
I've also experienced the dirty NYC subs...that's why I chose not to live on that side of the pond lol
Hey, how are you doing?
I have a question n I’ll be super happy if u will answer.
I’m thinking abt to start studying architect but my concern is about my sport career life…. Bodybuilding… I do love buildings and I have made sure about studying and becoming an architect by my question is do you think an architect will be able to workout everyday and kinda have a sport career beside his work? I mean basically for bodybuilding you just need an two hours a day for a workout and consistency with food…
Interesting question! With many things in life, it boils down to priorities. It's definitely possible if you have the discipline and will to do both.
Hi am a science student who wants to study architecture become an architect need your opinion
Is there any overtime required when working?
Overtime is not typical in architecture in the U.S
I need to do an adu in sunland ca, next to tujunga could you recommend an architect?
You could try me
will you be making a video about 💰💰💰 working in the architecture profession later on?
Hey Anthony! Thanks for the suggestion. I thought about it but not sure I have the right experience to talk about it. This might need to be a collaboration with someone else. But would would you be interested to hear about the money side of architecture?
@@HenryGao yes I would! I’m currently studying architecture at the moment!
@@anthonyraymundo9102 Where geographically are you located?
@@HenryGao Los Angeles!
@@HenryGao hello, i am also interested in this topic about money in architecture. Im an architect in Poland, working part time in an office, doing my phd as well but i would like to do some side hustles. i would like to be more in control of my creative side. not only re-do someone's ideas and draw them in cad. i m planning to buy an ipad but it creates some mental blockages for me to start doing something on my own. even though i do many illustrations and drawings by hand only for myself and put it in drawers. haha !
Hello! Are you a licensed architect?
hello! im a graduate of BS architecture in the Philippines and i just got here in the US to work as an autocad draftsman. any advice?? im a little bit scared because i dont have much of an experience doing autocad, revit, 3d modeling and rendering outside school. plus, im not a graduate of architecture here in the US. thank you!!!
Best advice I can give you is to be curious, be eager to learn and show that in a workplace. 90 percent of stuff you learn is from working anyways.
how did it go Gio ?
@@kd-fw5kp i got a job now at a tile and stone company as their drafter. my first few weeks was really stressful and full of anxiety because im scared to fail and to not to learn quickly. until they made me realized that it's ok to fail and it's part of the process. it's ok if you dont know a lot of things at work because ull eventually learn it on the way. now im on my 2nd month and everything is all well...
Hi Gio. Did they provide training for you? I was also an architecture student in the PI but not able to graduate cuz I moved to Hawaii. Now I’m on my second year in Architectural Technology, and Im hoping to get in the AEC industry as a drafting tech.
Can I pursue architecture after my computer science degree? I like to draw and design things
Yes you can, through a graduate degree! Though it's funny you want to do this.
@@HenryGao I wanns have two professions
or you could study architecture first and then cs. you can work in software after doing certs . whereas in architecure, you can get a license @@BillyRyan123
This guy works on a sitcom
My office super super sleepless.
Is that a good thing or bad?
can you tell me how is your salary per year approximately please 😔?
I don’t know if I should study architecture
that really depends on your geographic location! But here in California for a new graduate in 2023, I think you can safely expect 60k-70k as a starting salary. Just my opinion.
@@HenryGao Oooo thankss
since I'm italian it always wonder me how american/british people could order a "cappuccino" at any moment of the day.
beautiful editing and beautiful atmosphere btw soo relaxing 💜
That’s so common to us it’s hard to question what’s normal.
i order cappuchino as the standard coffee drink
Hey man, Im working on a project that is going to SHOCK a small California town this summer. I'm preparing a 30-40 min video of the different changes I want made. This video will be played over one weekend at the local theater and I'm expecting several thousand people to attend. As for me, Im a small town boy who moved to the Bay Area at 22 years old. Culture shock to say the least. Im now 54 and live in North Idaho. My project is essentially going to be a complete rebuild of my entire hometown which is approximately 20,000 people. (Residential and Commercial). Anyway, in designing my project, I'm having tremendous difficulty in finding what I'm looking for. All that is needed for now, prior to an actual approved design/plan (months away), are some EXTERIOR building ideas only. The first phase of this project, will be for the complete demolition of the uptown district of Mainstreet. Half of the businesses are now closed and the building(s) are 100+ years old. Having been more well versed in culture than before, I'm now wanting to bring a Modern yet Rustic design to the area. If this is something you might be interested in discussing further, please let me know and we can proceed from there. Thank you so much!!
Hi Navada, thanks for taking the time to draft a comment. I appreciate that. Right now I do not have any bandwidth to take on private work. Best of luck on your project, sounds like an exciting venture.
@@HenryGao I purposefully omitted the fact that my offer would be highly lucrative. The need to find someone who shared my vision is of utmost importance, therefore simply making someone wealthy in the process would only eliminate the creativity I'm searching for. Thanks again!!
It will be time to do it all over again but life's no guarantee for no one if there's a tomorrow. If there was no tomorrow then it was meant to be- so we make everyday count.
Thanks
Are architecture designer and architect the same thing?
The latter is licensed.
Hows living in CA ?
better than I imagined!
Curious why you call yourself an Architectural Designer? Is this common in the U.S? In Australia if you are an architect you would call yourself one.
Good question! In the U.S if you are not licensed you are not suppose to call yourself as an architect.
@@HenryGao HI mate, this is the same here in Austrialia, but they are even more strict and can't use the word "architectural" even as a graduate. I had to become registered before I could even call myself anything resembling architect! 😓😭
same also here in the philippines if you're not yet licensed architect we called "junior architect or architect apprentice 😊
short working hours, in Indonesia, we work until late at night for little pay, we are like slaves here
Is Red Dot Studio hiring? 😊
We are always looking for talented young people, send your resume in if you are interested. Address to Karen or Jackie.
@@HenryGao I appreciate the quickness of your response.
I think you will feel this career when your in middle age when you need to settle
Why don’t you bike outside if you live in Cali? That’s why I am gonna move there… and why I looked up this video
so basically its not work.
It’s not for everyone
My dream is to become an arshitect very nice life 🍌
Awesome, but maybe not as fabulous as I make it out to be.
