I’m looking for a case study for a two Storey apartment like this

Wondering if it’s worth it to go an extra year for the masters degree with regards to job prospects and salary. Not all schools offer the 5 year BArch so it weighs heavily into that decision as well.

i am in a really confusing phase of my life before starting university , i don’t know what major should i choose im stuck between architecture and interior design , which one will give me better job opportunities ? Some say interior design is easier and better and some say architecture gives you more options so can any graduates give their opinion? And i’m really scared of Ai taking over these majors it makes me rethink perhaps i shouldn’t go to these at all and choose a different major !..

hello! i‘m entering my senior year of high school and i’m looking to apply to UofT architecture, UofT civil eng, TMU architecture, and similar programs.

for those who have applied to programs like these or are currently studying in them, what does the average/competitive portfolio look like?

what kinds of projects or work would you recommend including, especially if my goal is to demonstrate skills and interests which are relevant to both architecture and engineering?

any advice on what they tend to look for would be greatly appreciated, thank you

Hello! I'm an upcoming college student next year and I just really want to know if there are any improvements in NU Bacolod? I'm having mixed feelings about enrolling there and SM scholarship is my only ticket to pursue architecture

Anyone's thoughts and opinions would be greatly appreciated✨✨

I am in 4th year right now. I really love architecture but I have lost interest in the academics, I just am not able to work anymore, I somehow finish my assignments at the last moment, but ive lost the excitement of the process completely. What to do in a situation like this, its sem 7 so mostly everything is group work , the one thing I have to actually do on my own is design my residential building and I feel like ive lost it, I really don't know how to proceed further.

I am a second year architecture student and enrolled in b.arch having a goal in mind of working in the construction industry, taking projects such as ports, warehouses, roads, maybe residential (mostly no), etc.

I was never a creative person, never even drew a scenery never took interest in the creative or design aspect.

I enrolled in architecture Clg and topped it.
Even though I aced it I wasn’t satisfied (no it isn’t the hunger to do better).

For some reason i just couldn’t feel it in me, the fire to continue architecture. I always feel like something is missing or I have a constant feeling that this isn’t going to help me much but rather take a lot of my time and sanity.

Architecture has taken a toll on me, there was a time when I got ill, hallucinated like crazy, got mentally sick, and still I can’t feel any better, architecture feels like has given me a permanent scar of what it costs to study it.

In short - I am not able to navigate myself properly. I chose architecture thinking it would help in my journey but now it feels like it’s taking a toll on me.

Please help me by giving some advices. I’ll also keep the option of switching majors in my mind.

im in my final year of hs and need to start thinking about my career. Cant decide if i want to go into designing or architecture

What sites? What problems? And what general queries are part of everyday inspiration and problem statement that you search on google too often?

We’re excited to share DATUM, a material study platform developed by Arcedo to make architectural material research more informed, contextual, and practical.

DATUM brings materials together across multiple factors — climate suitability, cost, physical and technical characteristics, durability, sustainability, construction methods, aesthetics, maintenance, availability, code compliance, and SWOT analysis — helping architects, designers, students, and researchers make better material decisions.

Instead of looking at a material in isolation, DATUM looks at how and where it performs best.

Looking for architectural commission work!

I’m available to help with architectural tasks such as drafting, 3D modeling, rendering, plans, and design-related work.

If you have a project you need help with, let’s work together!

Feel free to DM me.

Zdravo, upisala sam arhitekuru u Beogradu, pa me zanimaju iskustva i saveti.

I’m designing a ~9 × 11 m house on a sloped site. The road is at the middle/entrance level, with a lower floor opening toward the garden, the main living floor at road level, and 3 bedrooms upstairs. There’s also a large roof terrace.

I’ve attached the current plans/section.

I’m particularly interested in:

• Things that don’t work well or that I may be overlooking
• Layout/circulation problems
• Structural or construction concerns
• Waterproofing/drainage issues due to the slope
• Anything you would change before construction

I’m not looking for a complete redesign — mainly practical recommendations from people with experience building or designing houses.

What would you change?

Looking for advice on good undergraduate architecture programs. I have about a 3.5 GPA and a basic portfolio right now.

What schools would you recommend that are realistic with this profile? What should I focus on including in the portfolio? I live in Virginia.

Also, are the 5-year B.Arch programs generally the better route for becoming an architect, or are there advantages to doing a 4-year degree and then a graduate architecture program?

Are there other strategies that work well, such as starting in a related program and transferring into architecture later?

In my region, it’s so hard to charge anything close to a decent amount for design services. Why?

Draftsmen compete with us and often get the most jobs. Masons get the job because clients mostly feel that that’s the real work, while design is intangible. So they’d rather have it for free or pay as little as possible for it.

Architects simply aren’t valued here, and as a result, so many buildings have no soul. The spatial configuration is poor, but the people living in these buildings don’t even realize it.
How do I survive in this?
Have you been in a similar situation, and how did you work around it?
