I was wondering why I loved your deducted points on the shipping container sustainability in your other videos...you grew up with engineers and have an engineering mindset! It's refreshing! I look forward to your future videos. :)
Hi Belinda, nice quality content as always. I particularly felt the part about the "working overnight" state of mind. We are in 2020, this really has to change, starting from both chiefs and colleagues.
My whole life is in IT so coding isn't new to me. I took 6 months off work once to take up plumbing certification out of curiosity and wanted to see if I'd like it working outside the office. At the end of the whole thing, I decided that the construction industry needed to really progress faster with coding and robotics. Many of the tasks in laying plumbing are repetitive and would've been done faster and a lot more precise using machinery that has been fed with the relevant plans. I also learnt that those, at least plumbers, tend to view architects as the overarching designer but at ground level the tradesmen will need to make adjustments as the plan may not reflect the site conditions. I think having a quicker way to gather information about site condition and provide real time information to the shared 'architecture plan' using tech would make an architect's plan a lot more relevant. For example, plumbing pipes tend to the one of the structure laid down before the foundation. A machines/robots digging through the site to lay down the pipes can also feed information back about soil information, terrain, ph, etc. so the architecture plan can be a living document (with version control, of course). Coding in architecture I would imagine having the program identify good design practices, building codes including local regulations, feasibility of space being used and able to incorporate data from the building site. One of the eventual components you'll need is Big Data with architecture knowledge base. Note: also I was super blown away by plumbing and its extensive history. Programming is a child in comparison.
Belinda, Thank you for your videos. It's refreshing to see someone who is passionate about what they do. When I meet passionate people in my industry, it reenergizes me and makes me want to get stronger in my craft. I've been working with Revit for about 12 years now, and have dabbled with Dynamo and am currently learning Python. I would love to combine the two to streamline our design pipeline. Thank you for taking the time to cover this controversial topic, and showing the pros and cons of bringing code to the design. You have inspired me to keep learning!
As an architect i see myself now more as a coach who needs to maintain construction companies motivated to deliver a spot on work. Usually i setup a small office directly on the construction site so i can work directly there and avoid mistakes avoiding workers to do what comes up into their mind...
I would say not necessarily, especially if they're older and have their ways of working established. However, they need to work with coders collaboratively.
The first generation of computer tools freed up a lot of time by reducing the labor intensive work of manually drawing everything by enabling quick and simple annotations, neat drawings, many iterations of the same concept by copy-paste etc. But this extra time didn't make things easier for students or reduced the pressure, it just meant more different tasks would be crammed in in the same time frame, the presentations are professional grade and expectations in general escalated because of tools at students disposal. I don't see why coding as a time saving strategy would be any different: menial tasks will take less time and this time *will* be employed for other tasks, probably more demanding and stressful. An additional circumstance is that because the menial tasks take up no time at all, you have less time to really ponder and process your ideas and what you're actually doing because your mind is never idling while your hands perform some menial work - you're constantly expected to make decisions and feed the machine instructions on what to do. Consequently, I believe this leads to greater output but less actual quality in non-quantifiable areas of the project. It also directs the entire discipline towards metrics and justifying the profession by "performance" which is laying the groundwork for our future obsolescence.
Having been in architecture through the change from hand to computer drafting, the final conclusion in our firm was that it didn't speed up the overall time of a project. Computer drafting required a level of precision that ate up concentration and effort. You also did more detailing. Since that time, now out of the field, I have seen other firms graphics in public presentations. Sure they have more 3d stuff, but from much of what I have seen, their quality is lacking compared to what we used to put out by hand or using a mix of computer and hand work.
Learning coding to integrate websites and architects and engineers interests me. When a designer creates any part, the whole BIM database can be maintained on the webserver and totally integrated into parts procurement and sales. Designers can see the problems customers are having with their parts and modify them accordingly. Parts can be standardized based on what parts are being bought off the website most frequently. One big advantage is that website databases are typically included for free with web hosting so you eliminate costly BIM software by coding your own database.
I worked for a steel frame construction company, normally it was industrial and farm units however we had some custom stuff that some architect would approach us with, it was such a ball ache working with some, things like the load bearing seemed foreign to them, we would test using software showing the thing would collapse, sometimes they would change it sometimes they would find someone else and be told it won't work there. This was 10 or so years ago so maybe it’s changed now but at the time, most of these architect/artists seemed to know sweet f all about structures.
I am just 14 but i want to make my career in architect as well as i want to learn coding so i must say ur video helped me a lot...thanks and keep making videos as such😊😊💗
I respect the architect's design idea. They should also be mindful of the mechanical side of the building. There's only so much room you can squeeze plumbing, HVAC, electrical, sprinkler, data in a ceiling space. On top of this you have an interior designer from la la land. We need room. Design and give us room. My 2 cents from the mechanical trades.
Based on my brother's experience designing and drafting roofs for large buildings, architects ought to first worry about: - Treating their apprenticing employees more like humans and less like mushrooms, and stop throwing them under the bus to cover their own mistakes - Knowing what is actually ON their buildings before throwing tantrums about how the drawings "just won't work" - Standing up to dumb clients who want the impossible for pennies - Stop designing roofs at 101% of the roof loading requirements in code and then acting shocked when the roof fails But that's just one small section of the industry.
please do more videos related to architecture , i really liked ur videos and do more videos on softwares as ur explanation is soo good and easy to understand
Architecture and programming has lots in common. When coding 3D models or world maps you need good architecture skills. 3D engine are coded to make the architecture come to live, but every game need back up on paper design. It is like I learned to draw graphic by pixel but now I scan in the art work. So the world need both paper and computer renders. I a coder and find your channel interesting. Before I got old and fine motor skills dropped I love drawing out detail design before coding them in to a virtual environment in software. I was a good artist, no I use code to do the art I can no longer draw by hand.
This is a question that I have been asking myself for a few months. I really believe that architects should evolve to digital architecture management. For my part, I recently started learning html and javascript
PS - two other things; the ethos in art school was the same; we would cut off our own grandmother's left leg to meet a deadline. I think it goes back a 1000 years to the humble apprentice in the master's workshop. And the other thing is; I spent many years working in an engineering company where the guys who assembled and commissioned the machines did not respect the guys in the drawing office who designed the machines. The commissioning engineers treated the bits simply as lego bricks and started redesigning the machine as soon as the parts arrived. If any new contractors arrived in the drawing office; I would drag them out to talk to the commissioning engineers; because "they will take what you design; saw it in half; drill two new holes in it; and put it on upside down to make it work if they have to. So you have got to talk to these guys. You can't hide behind your computer screen in an ivory tower." The trick is to be the person who knows what is happening inside that whirlwind - and be honest about it happening.
2D in a 3D world is a hindrance to most professions, but is it necessary to use code to describe geometry & function, when in theory 3d CAD can do the same?
Hi, my name is Jurenae. My grandfather, Claude Taylor, helped guide me to your channel. I am a Senior at Victory Early College. I have been interested in pursuing Architecture/Architectural designing since I was about 11 years old. UT Austin is my #1 choice for college.

Coding will fit as one of the separate consultants - not something the Architect will be an expert in.

I'm afraid coding will help people do thigs quicker, but it won't change the culture of overwork by itself. When a designer can produce more work quicker, Manager, Architect or Designer of the project will expect more and quicker results. Another problem automating tasks is that designers just go ahead with whatever is preloaded in template, or trust that the script will make design decisions for them.
Nice video mam. I wanted to know what has to be done to move forward. What has to be learned and from where as I have no information. What will be the best.... It will be Revit +Python or something else. Please suggest. Thanks
Revit is much better for architecture because it can produce traditional 2D documentation and 3D documentation from the model with schedules and updates them, you can also edit the mode with the schedules, this tridirectiona relationship divides the work by three. Whilst RhinCAD would take the lead in CAM and product design, where you really only need 4 2D drawings and an .STL file to hook it up into things like 3D printers.
Coding will do a lot of things for an architect but i don't think it'll improve the level of respect or the relationship to the trades. The people that make changes to the projects or create unrealistic expectations are generally faceless to us. Blaming the architect or designer or owner are catch all's that don't always accurately describe why we have to undo our work. I'm personally interested in improving trade relations and I always try to empathize with the decisions made by other people in the industry. We would all benefit from more knowledge of eachothers Scopes and workflow. And it's not unidirectional like some of us grunts think. We need to educate ourselves on your processes

Architects need to stay on using conventional analog design process rather than constraining their precious creativity by vectors and bitmaps, systems and computer languages. On the other hand Architectural technicians whom specialized in construction document production need to be knowledgable with cutting edge computer technologies to enhance productivity. Cheers from Canada
No one cares about reading and writing code, just to do it as an intermediate time saving tool to produce construction drawings, do I know how to download and update python codes and dynamo graphs to achieve that end, and do good research to figure out what I need and that is enough.
Belinda, maybe the Engineers in your family don’t take you too seriously is maybe you didn’t have a lot of mathematical training. That is one point, then you said before that Architects had to hand draw every plan. Obviously not now, it seems common now that the “In” design is some swoopy curvy shape where there is not a single identical item. All the pieces must be custom made. This design is shoved to the structural engineer and the contractor to figure out. Of course the cost goes sky high. You also make a big deal about sustainability, how it that possible when unique jigs and fixtures cannot be used for the next project.
There are lots of Dynamo videos on my channel and free downloadable scripts that can automate daily tasks. Let me know if you have something specific in mind.
I live in Europe and I have fairly strong opinion on modern architecture. It’s ugly! In Northern Europe we used to build extremely beautiful houses and cities until the late 1930s. After the second world war architecture became obsessed with price over beauty and rectangular design over organic lines. Also it broke away from using decorations and use of natural colors. I blame computer programs such as CAD where it became easy to make boxes but not organic forms. I blame bauhaus and other similar dogmas which created inhuman proportions and materials. I blame beancounters who focused on building a house cheap instead of building a house people still love and live in 100 years later. Architect should reform their way of thinking and their education. I have a lot of anger towards modern architecture. It’s literally destroyed many cities.
. . . of course, as you are "in the middle of the whirlwind" - you maybe should go and talk to the software writers and create the worlds best architecture software; rather that something recycled from the aerospace industry. And when you get to be CEO of a bezillion dollar software corp; remember me with a 10 bob note in a Christmas card. You will be great! Yeeee Hawwww

That is one point, then you said before that Architects had to hand draw every plan. Obviously not now, it seems common now that the “In” design is some swoopy curvy shape where there is not a single identical item. All the pieces must be custom made. This design is shoved to the structural engineer and the contractor to figure out. Of course the cost goes sky high. You also make a big deal about sustainability, how it that possible when unique jigs and fixtures cannot be used for the next project.
I miss an actual example of how code automates an everyday task
There are lots of Dynamo videos on my channel and free downloadable scripts that can automate daily tasks. Let me know if you have something specific in mind.
@@BelindaCarr Thank you for your response, I am new to your channel and trying to catch up. Good job!
I live in Europe and I have fairly strong opinion on modern architecture. It’s ugly! In Northern Europe we used to build extremely beautiful houses and cities until the late 1930s. After the second world war architecture became obsessed with price over beauty and rectangular design over organic lines. Also it broke away from using decorations and use of natural colors. I blame computer programs such as CAD where it became easy to make boxes but not organic forms. I blame bauhaus and other similar dogmas which created inhuman proportions and materials. I blame beancounters who focused on building a house cheap instead of building a house people still love and live in 100 years later. Architect should reform their way of thinking and their education. I have a lot of anger towards modern architecture. It’s literally destroyed many cities.
I don't agree with all you said, but you have a point.
I raise you one Zaha Hadid, an architect allergic to right angles.

Abusive behavior will not be fixed with technology. It is a human problem.
. . . of course, as you are "in the middle of the whirlwind" - you maybe should go and talk to the software writers and create the worlds best architecture software; rather that something recycled from the aerospace industry. And when you get to be CEO of a bezillion dollar software corp; remember me with a 10 bob note in a Christmas card. You will be great! Yeeee Hawwww
Bashing construction contractors again!
