- Another day in the life of an architect on the vlog today. This time, we'll look through a drawing set for a project under construction and I'll show you what I think about as I work through and draw a detail. We'll also discuss one of the most common struggles of working alone, what happens when a project is delayed, how to create a balanced practice, and I share my thoughts on the innovative business plan presentations I reviewed as a juror for the architecture business plan competition. See the view from my mid-day hike (!) and what I learned on the podcast I was listening to.
Please say hello in the comments and tell me: does your career conform to your lifestyle or is it just the opposite?
Cheers...!

As a former Plans Examiner I can honestly say that was a very informational video and very well thought out. Also it held my interest. Great job!
30X40 Design Workshop I just want to thank you for your great work, you have inspired me in more than one way since I began studying architecture two years ago. thank you very much
Hi Eric, just wanted to ask if you are aware of this video? th-cam.com/video/BeAMfDcd9RM/w-d-xo.html Just wanted to let you know
Just wanted to say, massive props to you dude for having a his channel focused on architecture. You’ve helped me and many others determine whether or not architecture is for them and advice to us. Infinite thanks!
many thanks...kind of you to say...
\m/
This channel embodies the real power of TH-cam for me. I wanted to be an Architect eons ago, but didn’t have the idea crystallized in my mind until long after college was over. I’m inexplicably motivated by this channel to draw, redesign my home office, record music again and even rethink my relationship with work. Thank you Eric.
Cheers Shawn...this makes sharing my personal journey so worthwhile! Appreciate the support!
30x40 Videos = inspiration, excitement, relaxation, knowledge, satisfaction... basically all the traits an architect needs..
a zillion thanks...
A quick question.. how often do you visit project sites?
kind words my friend...much respect...really appreciate your continued support...
re: site visits, my standard is once/week during construction (i usually aim for wednesdays)...but if there's something I want to keep close tabs on (a low bidder for example) it's more like 2X or 3X...I have one of those currently and regular visits keeps things running smoothly catches errors before they're too far gone...wish i could share that one on the vlog alas, the NDA!
Great... many thanks for the complements and for sharing the info
Imad Asmone my blood pressure actually goes down watching his videos.... lol
Mike Neuman hahaha... definitely that too..
curious about your response, Eric. the contractor has an NDA in place, or the homeowner doesn't want their home's construction process documented and distributed? A series of videos tying actual construction footage to your (fabulous!) CDs would be awesome...
I love how you can make these videos cinematically pleasing to watch while being able to let the viewers learn from your videos!
Thank you again for sharing this valuable look into the day to day nuances in the life of an architect.
I like how perfectly your office shed divides from the shade and the sunlight.
Love your videos and your work. It’s great to see someone so highly self-motivated, continuously and consistently. Keep up the great work and let the vlogs keep flowing :)
Even though I'm not an architect, I find your channel endlessly fascinating! This vlog is no exception! Enjoy it very much. :)
Great video Eric, and love the insights into the opportunities for architects. We're essentially curious problem solvers and design thinkers - and I agree, our professional skillsets can be applied to so many endeavours, and make a dent in our world. Your documentation is stunning too - such a great lesson in detailing for constructability.
Well Detail drawings and assembly...are what separates common designer architects and self owned architectural practices
And on top of tht ,Eric is one who even then run a blog almost like a bespoke film maker then he is an eloquent motivational speaker all Indoor activities...
And yet he also finds time to dialogue with nature
My compliments Eric
a lot of us we see ourselves in u now or maybe after 10 years the only thing is we have u giving us the clear routes we only need to be focused
"ONE WHO KNOWS ABOUT U HAVE NO EXCUSE".
Love how you schedule your day, especially with the mid day hike
Gold class, truly great content. Appreciate the work man!
What I love about your videos; It feels like I'm having a one on one conversation. Mark you, You cant hear my questions obviously, but somehow they end up being answered most times in the same video. Even some of the internal monologues that one wouldn't necessarily voice gets answered. One of the challenges I experience as a young designer, is a sense of loneliness; Questions like, " is anyone else experiencing the same challenges, and what safe space exists to voice said challenges and possibly work as group or solo to solve them ". I like that there is a great sense of vulnerability familiarity that really encourages my approach towards my own craft. Thank you Eric!
Thank you for curious insights into a very personal aspect of your life. The hiking opportunities in your area look supreme, what grand inspiration.
You are an amazing human being. Your journey is an exquisite commentary on the values of being our best selves.....which translates into the architecture of our lives. When I watch your videos there is an illuminating transfer of energy....thanks for the commitment to our humanity! All the best, d.
Great storytelling Eric! I am proud to share this profession with someone as thoughtful and articulate as yourself.
Thank you for this motivational morning video, I'm an Architect from Morocco!! I love your channel, the mood, everything about your videos make me so confident about my job! Thank you so much!
Thanks for capturing your experience of practicing architecture. Useful for those who are thinking of studying it, but also interesting to folks who are building up the courage to go solo.
I really love these vlogs, really hope that you continue with them! I learn a lot, while at the same time seeing what a good day in my future profession could look like. Keep up the great work, you are really inspiring!
Keep up the good vids! Supremely appreciate your work and inspiration! Thanks Eric
Very happy to see you
Always inspirational Eric! I enjoy how you always break things down in easy to follow format! Cheers !! :)
I like how you explained the roof detail, and your reasoning behind it. Would like to see more of it.
I love these vlogs, they are put together well and are jam packed with information that is so helpful. Its also very motivational and i thank you for that.
i try to make them useful and at least a little entertaining...thanks for watching (and commenting)...really appreciate it...
You inspire me to be an architect someday i’ll make sure to work hard and focus only on studies. Thanks for your vlogs and all the information about architectural. You inspire me a lot.
Hi, Thank you so much for yours amazing videos, and I’m truly understand! I promise I will work really hard to complete your inspiration!
Eric, the first half of the video, showing the detailing, is so invaluable! I would like it if you would make a video where you showed your process figuring out details. Thanks again, huge fan!
Amazing Eric. Another great video. This really goes into the insight of a working architect who is handling everything alone and how much capable architects really are! Cinematography has been improving like always! Keep up the good work, friend.
You inspire me so much with your discurse. Congratz for the amazing work that you have been done
The best and most candid Architecture & design video out there...
cheers my friend...the struggle is part of it too, right?
I'm brazilian architect and I live in London. I love your channel, it's simple amazing. I also have a channel on TH-cam where I talk about History of Art and Architecture, of course my videos are in portuguese but I'm thinking about to start recording in english.
Thank you for your amazing videos. Don't stop to do that.
Adorei seus vídeos, me inscrevi :)
Que legal Liz, seja bem vinda. ;)
I just wanted to thank you for what you do. Watching you makes me feel so much better in times like these. School is beating the love of architecture out of me and I just don't have it in me to fight any longer. But I thank you for inspiring me and showing me that I can.
of course glad to help!
Always top shelf material!
You are an inspiration
This inspired so much! Thank you.
I am a Civil Engineering student but i just keep on watching this videos cuz i dont know it can inspire me and i can relate my self with it. thanks
This is video was informative. As a draftsmen with high ambitions it’s refreshing to see.
Sir Eric Cojones Rienholdt, sharing his cantilever and hidden gutter details with the world :]
Thanks a lot man. As a new studio founder I am currently struggling with breaking up my days and "designing" that work day that keeps me motivated week after week but also gets the billable work done! I love that you took the time to set up your interview and hiking shots to make it seems like a production team production and not a solo team production. Carry on, sir, carry on.
I'm impressed with you, I have learned a lot from you. thank you sir
Hi Eric, thank you -again. This video came in the right time as I am fighting with my first real life project as an independent architect. Even if I live in London I am far away from any influencing architectural communities as I am looking after my young children.
I find this video very helpful as I am about to move to the next stage with my project. I still have to find out about hoe to deal with flood issues - a completely new subject for me. As well as I am not used to deal with the council, rules and regulation by myself, but I am enjoying the ride so far........
The Business Plan competition sounds very interesting. I wounder if you would make a video about it. I have to admit I don`t yet got to that level.
I am looking forward to see what comes next.
Cheers,
I press "like" extremely rarely, but now I did. Greetings from Hungary.
Hello! It's interesting to watch you! I'm waiting for the next video.
Great viewpoints on explaining about detailing!
love your vids, really engaging and relevant content.
Cheers from paraguay !! You are such an inspiration :) !
thank you...appreciate your support!
Thank you for making the vlogs
Brilliant video! Please can you do another one showing what details you draw and what’s going on in the detail? Just as you did in this one!
As always great work! 👍
Inspired me so much!
Love your video's ♥️
We need more teachers like you
...always a student...
I want to be an architect when I grow up (I'm 16), but I have no idea where to start. I'm taking a technical design class next year, and hopefully it'll show me how to get started. I watch your channel and always wonder how I can someday be in a place like you, being successful.
This video is relaxation. I really felt sleepy
Wow what a great video I really liked it
Your videos are very well made!
Really you videos improving me
Hey Eric, I'm a high school student, about to begin my senior year and I am actually going to a design camp for architecture with the hope of going into architecture in college. I've been loving watching your videos and learning about architecture. One thought I had for a video idea or something you could explain in a video is how to read the drawing symbols in a draft and other information for starting! Would love your help, keep doing what you're doing!
Thanks You For All The Content.
Loadz Of Love From India 🇮🇳
#Please Bring More Videos
This is a fantastic channel
cheers my friend...glad you've discovered it!
Great content!
first comment , big up dude and thnx for inspiring us , greetings from tunisia
cheers my friend...thanks for watching...
I am sculptor but I like your Channel . Great details.
Hey Eric,
My name's Jeremy, I'm a 15-year-old guy. When I was 8 years old I asked my mom "Mom, what is someone called who designs houses?". She said an architect.
Since then it's my dream to become a full time architect. I practice drawing in perspective, try different techniques, different tools. I watch content like yours. Your channel has inspired me so much. And also makes me love the art, engineering, and creativity of architecture even more. I hope to once start my own company. And put my creativity and ideas into real life structures. I want to thank you for inspiring me, and many others. And show me the ways of an architect. Do you have any tips for a young guy like me, who's dream is to become a great architect? And how to practice, and grow as a potential architect.
With great thanks,
Jeremy
Hi Jeremy you're probably 17 years old, I hope you're still working hard to reach you're dreams, so good luck
He Jeremy! Are you still set on being an architect
love
I'm Brazilian and I love your channel, success for your content on TH-cam! Bring your subtitled videos too.
I'm a draftsman that specializes in music festivals and mass public gatherings. Your firm and videos have been a huge inspiration to me. I'd love to get some insight from you on Master Planning & Landscape Architecture. Perhaps you can do a video on this sometime. I primarily use Sketchup Pro, V-Ray & Houdini.
Love the detail part, never wanted to end. Learning diferents way to builds amouses me. In Latinamerican we build so diferent. Can you make some wood construction or detail video? CHEERS
THANKYOU so so much.😊😊😊
it would be cool if you went through what you typically show in a set of construction documents for the scale of work you do.
_What are you using to create the camera movement like at __1:42__ when you're the subject in the frame?_ *Awesome* effort making these quality videos - both visually and contentwise. I'm learning so much from you about raising the standard of craft no matter if you're in architecture or video/photography.
using a rhino motorized slider with the arc head for those shots...great for time-lapses too...
sounds like we share a belief that craft can be a part of everything we do and that the life of an architect is a life of design...
still, i have much to learn...film/video making is a deep well though and i'm genuinely enjoying approaching it with an amateur's mindset...
cheers...
Well said Eric...that's exactly what I believe too -- I'm a photographer but I draw inspiration (and aspiration) from everyone else but photographers. The design mindset as well as the constant striving for excellence doesn't care what vehicle it uses. I learn so much just from watching what you do as well as how you do.

Hi Eric! I'm a graphic designer and I've been devouring your series! They are extremely helpful. Will you ever do a video or series for those of us looking to work with an architect? I love learning about the process and knowing what I can do to make the process easier and more enjoyable for both parties. What options do we have when looking to build, and if we want to DIY our build to an extent are there certain terms we should be bringing up to contactors/architects? I would love to come to one with some ideas in mind but I also dont want to overstep the creative process on your end either. I'd love to hear your thoughts!
Eric, thanks for all the information! Question, I have noticed in multiple of your videos but I haven’t seen one yet (or maybe I have missed it) on why your annotations are red? Can you explain what’s the main reason for it? Is that how you file for permits and how you provide cd set for the GC?
Thanks again Eric for the interesting video. Keep it up! Currently im studying architecture. Just finished the Bachelor and started the Master. Im impressed of your construction details. To be honest, im a bit scared that i will never succeed with this. Can you infuse me some courage here? :)
Thanks for the videos - they've been helpful in clearing my thoughts as I started my own practice at the beginning of the year. I was actually thinking about the idea of scalability through collaboration yesterday at an exhibition. Instead of bringing on new workers and expanding too quickly, or turning away a job that you may be under staffed on, I am much more interested in bringing in practices of a similar scale and focus to collaborate on the work together. Would also keep the creative process fresh.
cheers...glad to help...
this is exactly the kind of scalability many small shops are experimenting with now...
what kind of work are you doing currently...?
All of your work has been a big help, the books and videos in getting my mind set right. Just a wonderful resource to go back to and remind myself that I am doing the right thing - to seize the moment. I'm doing a couple of hospitality feasibility and concept designs at the moment - and a resi conversion. The work load is fine but depending on the project timeframes and deadline overlaps, it could limit my ability to take on new work or could itself be too much. As a new design studio I am looking at all the possible paths these projects could take to try and limit/avoid having to turn anything away and I think collaboration with some other small design studios past colleagues and university friends have set up could be an option in a certain scenario.
hi , thank you very much for sharing, i hope you make also a vlog for architectural review for board exam ,some idea or tips , thank you
Great video, Eric! Appreciate to see your process of detailing. 2 things - First regarding your merch, the T-shirt links to Amazon don't seem to work - no results found on Amazon page. The second thing is your statement that we, as architects, are also graphic designers. I can't agree with that at all and the fact that most of architects think so (from my experience), makes it only worse. There are so many areas of graphic design that architects use (especially regarding desktop publishing) and don't know much about, starting e.g. with typography. Being an architect is a renaissance profession for sure, but architects are not graphic designers, they simply lack both knowledge and skills to call themselves graphic designers. My opinion based on experience.
Hi Eric, is there any book recommendation that you might have for learning how to better express details? Thank you very much for your support!! I loved this vlog video!
Thank you so much for you incredible videos and advice they are very helpful. Great work! I wanted to ask where you got your black ladder you have in your studio? I’ve been looking for one like it but haven’t found it yet.
cheers my friend...thanks for watching...I couldn't find a ladder I liked (at least one I could reasonably afford!) commercially so I simply made these myself...I made a little video about it, but found it a bit boring so i never uploaded it...
30X40 Design Workshop
I see that is the same situation we are in also. Do you think it may still be possible you could post that video, or could please share it with me?
Hey I saw your video on how to sketch a floor plan video you made because I wanted to design my own house around the premises of what kind of Natural Disasters like wildfires, Tropical Storms and Hurricanes, maybe a tornado if conditions are just right, flooding, and humid heat that I get here in Florida.
Now I know of a guy in Pensacola, Florida who built a beach house in the shape of a dome that survived Hurricane Ivan. And that's the kind of house I want to build but I want to take his idea a step further with things like 1 foot thick concrete blocks that would slide down over windows as a storm shutters that look like they are apart of the house design when not in use. Or a dam that I could have built into my property line so that when a warning about possible flooding in my area is likely to happen I would simply flip a switch and the dam would be filled with water to form a water tight dam like a similar system did for a family in Texas last year or the year before that.
I so like the pictures you make.
I can understand only 50% of your video/ Whatever its helpful. Thanks
Your cinematics are insane... really love your videos! which slider do you actually use?
appreciate that, thanks! took a while to save for this, but here's what I'm using now: thirtybyforty.com/slider/
Could you please tell us how you working with clients. Do you show sketches to them? How many times you have visited the plot? .....and ect. ..
First of all, Thank you so much for your inspirational vlogs. Secondly, how is the tradition from a Psych major to architecture ? Finally, I was wondering if this trail is Jordan Pond trail. I literally just got back from Acadia and that trail looks familiar. Thanks again for your inspiring videos.
Hi im in love with ur vids these days!!
I’ve one question.. why u print all your documents? And when u print them? After finish and compelete a project or many times in design process?
In most offices here we didnt print cad document and it remains in ps to the end of the work..
Thanks
What font do you use for your construction documents?
How come plans or at least details are not yet in 3D? I’m imagining something like LEGO instruction, even animated like one of those gifs of an engine going together would convey a lot more.
What's your take on the current "wave" of doing 3D details?
Thanks sir
Always be +1 in knowledge for us.
Stay blessed.
Happy Ramadan.
1 Q why you haven't any assistants or junior ?
cheers...no staff allows me to stay lean, which in turn means i have more freedom to choose only the best work that suits my esthetic sensibilities and the life i want to live...
it's a strategic choice, but it limits the amount of work I can do in a lifetime, that's something i'm struggling with...
Welcome to architecture MASTERCLASS with Eric Reinholdt; architect, entrepreneur, film director...
You call it vlog, I call it class - masterclass !
Nice channel ! We subscribe ! 😄
cool
hI @30x40 Design Workshop how do you make your roof line fade from top?
I don't know if you would read this but I'm 13 and I don't really know what I want to be by being an architect seems fun. Is it difficult tho?
I just have a question.
What is the lyric's name that you buddy used in the background of your video?
Class is in session. Cheers.
Isn't the water going to go over the top of the gutter.. because of it's location ?
hello Eric ^^ have you gone to HIT record's site yet? I'm getting really weird artefacts, code text all over the place and none of the buttons seem to work. nice vid by the way :D keep it coming :) Went to madrid last week end, to finally see the new extension for the Reina Sofia museum from Jean Nouvel. blow away by the atmosphere in the central court yard. The expo was as usual. Geurinca Still gives me the chills and I discovered Eusebio Sempere. A rather striking 1970-1980s artist which plays with your mind "graphically" Had the same perception as Vasarelli to Semperes work. With a twist^^ bought his monography, very inspiring, lots to do with spacial perception and shadows. had a ball with the camera :) Say Do you never use zinc for gutters in your neck of the woods? I mean EPDM is fragile in a sense, and having a zinc gutter (folded zinc sheet) with a square section which doubles as the covering of the wooden facia would be a more long term solution no?? I remember that certain wood types have rather acidic resins that might play havoc with metal sheeting, then again, I've had varnished sheets.
Amazing! I’m currently in grade 10, could you suggest me some books to get started on the basics, etc. Thank you!
here's a few to get you started: Architecture Books (essentials) th-cam.com/video/B-_QtKl5IkU/w-d-xo.html
Thank you! Any recommendations, for the first book I should start with? I was going to purchase a book by Francis D.K Ching.
im in 10 grade to and trying to find a future job
