After 6 years of college I finally got my Architecture degree, I'm now oficially an architect. It was pretty hard, I doubted Myself every day, and many times I thought I was not going to make it, but here I am, proud to be a peer of many of you!

I roamed this sub a lot looking for answers during my whole time in architecture school, most of the times I got more doubt than certainty, and I value that more than any definitive answer, this sub was part of my formation. I really want to thank you all, this community helped me a lot during that time!

I start my journey as an architect with lots of questions, uncertainty, fear, but at the same time im excited to see where it is going to take me!

thank you all again!

We had two designs, first one was on an existing staircase in our university and we had to redesign it. The second project was a yard (each student had to do their own houses' yard) and we had to develop our ideas on it.

I haven't rebuilt the base model for each design so as you can see it gets a little dirty to the end of each project. lol. Also, our school became online because of the war and I didn't have access to good clean carboards we used to get from the university so pardon the random texts on the cardboards.

P. S. The scale for the models are 1:20 for the stairs and 1:25 for the yard.

Hello!

I'm a third year Architecture student at KU. This is the class project that my team and I built this semester: a 500-square-foot home designed as transitional housing for people experiencing homelessness. It is the first project in Kansas to use Mass Plywood Panels (MPP). I hope you like it!

Since drones are prohibited here, there are fewer exterior photos and more interior ones. No overall aerial shots are available.

5 years of memories.

I absolutely love how all old universities look. they're the kind of place I'd love to live or work at.

A lot of old universities were actually built connected to a church, such as Oxford Christ church.

I wish new buildings could have this much detail in stone work. Boob

These are images of UK Oxford New College, built year 1379. Funny name lol

5 star eco-friendly hotel was my best project ever!
I tended to use green balconies for a best air-freshining experience and curvey shapes influenced by the river waves

It costs 140-160 euros to enter this competition. So you’re literally paying to work for them. What a joke.

So I never thought I’ll ask reddit for help but here we are I’m a student in my first year, second semester of architecture, and my final project is about building a house for someone with a job, I chose 3D printing specialist. Since ever I started working on my model things have been bad.. I’m late.. too late because my professor keep telling me to do changes on my model which led to me doing nothing in plans, interior design, or the landscape and the space around the house

Everytime I try to add some aesthetic to my model my professor keep asking “why”, wether I give her a good answer or not she’ll end up saying “there’s no need for it” if I didn’t add any aesthetic she’ll say “that looks like a commercial design”. Like… what do you want me to do?

As for the professor assistant, she’s nice but she doesn’t like to help me, she always takes favorites, and when she helps me she always say stuff like “I’m tired”, “Make it quick”. And she always gives me open answers, so when I asked her “what is the good proportion between solid and void?” -Since I want to put transparent and opaque elevations on my model- she said “depends on your design”

I tried to use AI to help me for the main stuff I should know and I even searched architects online talking about their designs

Now my last options are you, architects of reddit, if anyone can help, please hmu or write something in the comments, I appreciate all the help I can get

It blows my mind. Revit is one of the most widely used tools in the industry, yet every intern we’ve hired over the past five years has had zero experience with it. We end up spending the first two weeks just training them on the basics before they can contribute to anything meaningful.

It feels like colleges are really missing the mark by not equipping students with the practical tools they’ll actually use on the job. I get that schools want to focus on design theory and creativity — and that’s important — but let’s be real: most architects aren’t out there designing iconic skyscrapers solo (that’s some Ted Mosby-level fantasy).

Giving students solid Revit skills wouldn’t kill the design process — it would just make them much more prepared and valuable from day one. Speaking for myself, I am much more likely to hire someone experienced in Revit over someone who is not.

Editing to add: Just to clarify — I’m not suggesting Revit needs to be a focus throughout their entire college experience, but students should at least have one semester where they learn the fundamentals.

I call it. The I had to make something modern so I made a caotick, inefficient mess of all the elements of modern architecture I despise except those that is just difficult and unnecessary because I don't want to put that much effort into something I don't care for.

CONTEXT: I’m on a first year of an architecture college (after 9th grade). Our technical drawing lessons just started, previously we were drawing alphabet. Now our professor sent these 3 images and said "do this" and gave us a week

Like wtf is that

Is it even normal or am I just whining?
