Hearing, all that you said, I wonder who would ever want to be an architect, except masochistic persona, craving to be walked over their spine by some spoiled self-interested-rich people, who want to invest in to another huge-Babylon-cube, to sell some space.That being said, i don't think that there is any creativity, and real passion in that monetary-hypocritical-dominant society that you are pro paging with that smirk- smile on your face.By the way investor-banker?Crazy slaves....
I wanted to be footballer but I then notice that I have a hard chance of it happening and then had a think, Every one seems to comment me on my art work and saying "What are you going to be went your older, an artist?" or "You should be an architect when your older" as well as my grand father being an architect he also comments on my work as well as my parents so then I decided that one day I might decide to become one. (Hint) I am 12yrs old next year.
i was so sleepy and now is 3:00 am,i saw this serial in fb ,i started watching, i coudnt stop watching it,it so wonderful i watched and write to read them again and again,...thnx for ut kindness MR DOUG PATT...:*

Only one word in this video scared me: debt. Introduction to architecture is the first class of freshman year for me tomorrow, at Clemson University. Here goes nothing.
haha not getting paid well? i know a lady who got 1,000 dollars on a plan she did in four hours with a pen she just scaned it and printed it and got 1,000 dollars just in four hours XD
The only way to survive it all is to really LOVE architecture. For many architects their job is the only true relationship they have! You just can't give so much energy to something rational, it has to be a passion :) Even after working 30 days in a row, 12 hours a day, I couldn't imagine doing anything else in the whole world :D
Hi... I have a question: Are there any architects who write with the left hand? Please response :D If you're curious why I put that question : I write/draw with the left hand so I wanna know if I would be the only architect in the world who write/draw with his left hand [if I would be one ] Thanks so much for your videos. Thanks to you there will be more architects in the world so there will be more beautiful buildings in the world. :D
Doug, around how much money does an architect like you make? I love architecture and I'm not doing it for the money. It's just that I've heard the pay is minimal compared to the work put in. After hearing you in this video, being an architect seems quite hard and stressful, so i was just wondering if i will regret becoming an architect because I am working so hard and making so little, if they do make so little.... Thanks :)
I am in a big dilemma and I need help! My dream is to become an architect however my uncle(my uncle is an architect) told me that I should better become a civil engineer because according to him they can do more things and it is easier for them to find a job in other words my uncle believes that here in greece a c.e can do the same things with an arch and more.. i cant believe this!whats your opinion?

Actually I love to be an architect and your videos really made me laugh a LOT! you're so right!, maybe we'll never be rich, and no client will ever be the best, and I have to admit that I have NO social life besides a drawing table or proyects but I love it and I love your videos 'cause you make me think about the "underground architect issues" jajajaja "the making of". Thanks for your dedication.

I am 15 years old, and being an architect has been my dream. These videos have helped a lot. Thank you. And yes, I thought architects made good money too.?
I'm in my third semester or architecture. Beore I started college I knew architects worked like hell and made little money but I still decided to go for it, now it's really starting to scare me. Honestly, how bad is it...?
@JinkawaKanon actually yes its really necessary to mention all those things because its part of studying and being an architect. And no, you don't have to change your handwriting. You only have to change it to identify floor plans, sections, elevations and all other type of drawings that's all.
@KalleMickelborg i knew that it would be challenging but i didnt think it would be that crazy...it was a lot to take in.... but i still want to be an architect... i am just glad that i know what to expect so now i will be prapared!!!
@Tnkrbell10123 The majority of what he just said is in most (design) careers. To design is to problem solve. To problem solve is to find a solution. Sometimes a solution does not exist. This leads to the shaping of the problem.
Dont be scared of doing what you love. As a graphic designer, we too run into the same intricacy.
Im pretty sure you hit all the aspects of the architecture world that no one but us really experiences! and much more...you never stop learning in that world, mainly about people. Drawing a house is easy compared to them!
hello, I am currently doing my gcse's. which I'm predicted: A in maths and product design (technology). A* in physics, chemistry and IT. and a B in English. I will hopefully be taking maths, physics chemistry and product design at a-level.
I have always wanted to become an architect and I like everything about it.
I was wondering if anyone could help me because; firstly do you think I have the right grades to become an architect? and secondly I know this may sound silly but do architects work
@MBautista2 I am currently an Architecture student, studying in London. Those grades look great. Architecture schools are not really fussy with what A-levels you take. They do prefer Art ( I took Fine Art). I decided just recently that I want to drop out because the course is not for me and I am not passionate about it. Your really have to love Architecture in order to study it. It hard work, physically and mentally straining. The best Architecture schools in the UK ask for A/B for A-levels.
I'm 15, and I'm taking my GCSE's soon. This year even. I'm expected to get a C in physics, a B/A in maths and a B/A in art. I want the job of an architect to be mine, but I'm not sure what A-levels to take.
I will take fine art and english (maybe 2 English's) but not maths and physics. Would I Still be able to continue as an architect if I do this?
1) Pursuing a career in Architecture WILL EAT your life and YOU WILL sacrifice sleep, reading, gaming, friends, and a part of your soul or fail utterly.
2) Your work will be respected, appreciated, and even demanded to the point where mother fucking clients will constantly call you wondering if you've finished their mother fucking designs.
3) You will know true boredom when you are called upon to design 6 floor plans for one area.
I'm in high school and not doing really good with my grades....I'm in the 10th grade
I can't really draw really good but I'm going to go to art lessons. And I just like the thought of what an architect I and dose I just don't know if I understand it all the way threw.
When I go to college what are the architect classes going to teach me? I mean like are they going to teach us how to draw the buildings like an art class?
hi everyone, i just finished school and im considering doing architecture in uni. There are a few things bothering me:
1. is it really that bad?
2. is it hard to make it big?
3. is it worth the five years in uni?
4. and is there money in it...honestly?
i know these are superficial questions but that is because they are the only ones which i cant get a straight answer for...from real architects please
Great seven part series and other hotwtoarchitect videos. I'm now a fan. My son is an architect in NYC, teaches architecture at NYIT and is now on sabbatical doing a Masters in Sustainability. I went through the process with him for the past 10 years and can appreciate everything you have presented. You're right on the mark. Having seen my own son morph from teenage kid to professional architect, I can say here that it is not just a job, it is a passion and way of life. Great job Doug!
Architecture is about learning how to / your wrists without killing yourself *cough* I mean learning how to live with all the things he mentioned above & of course making changes! :D
thanx so much for this video. for the whole series. it really resumes our profession very well. and it helps sooo much to hear it told so truthfully; that all of us architects are in the same boat, facing the same challenges... keep them inspiring you! :)
@AdvancedK9 every career is difficult and beautiful and important in it's own way. luckily (for me), the challenges and possibilities architecture expose us to, just make me love it more :) it's just the matter of choosing the difficulties that satisfy YOUR masochistic needs ;) lol

screw this, lousy pay, huge hours, you would have to be nearly fanatical about designing buildings to subject yourself to tremendous debt and crappy lifestyle.
@ps2604 It's a long story, but I'll try to say it quickly. Everybody says how great architecture is. I even didn't know about architecture when I decided to go at that school. Now that I have a little experience, and almost all architecture has left me cold.
Architecture is a 'thing' that respond to people 'needs' less or more, but we humans we make such a fuss because of it. Look at the history of art and architecture and you will see its direction towards nihilism and chaos.
@ps2604 All we know to do is to built larger and larger, look at the skyscrapers that were built, and other big buildings. There are so many tower of Babel nowadays. Look at the materials: concrete, metal, glass, and other structure modified materials, that are not friendly to the environment. Look with patience and understand the ideas behind today's architecture and put them in comparison with faith. All I say is: humanity is wrong oriented towards itself.
@ps2604 And architecture is the barometer of peoples level of ignorance and unawareness.
At the school of architecture (everywhere) we learn to make such an theatrical architecture. There is no concern for people and human being. I saw that. All we care is the level of economic development, the level of science (which is a limited and false knowledge), inflation, the global warm (which is a lie, by the way), pride, and all sins you can enumerate.
Everything he said is completely true. For you young guys out there, thinking about studying architecture, do your research before, please. Maybe architecture is not what you think it is. I think this video should be presented to every young person thinking about profession as an architect, really.
well, i'm studying to became an architect.. this video really describes what i experience at univercity, what i worry about, how sleepless i get sometimes (many times!), what my dreams are for the future and how my life will probably be! i'm so excited!! even though i'll experience some difficulties (maybe lots of them), i'm more than sure that this is what i was born to do!
I'm still in high school and I wanna be an architect, I'm pretty sure I'm the only one I know who wants to be an architect and people ask me why, with all the hard work, exams ect. But I just tell the because I enjoy it. None of your videos have put me off it (apart from the handwriting bit because mine is terrible;) I go in to year 10 in a few months and wondered what subjects I need to pick in year 11, can someone help me? Ty in advance.
@hjct95 Art, most certainly. A design based subject (Resistant materials, graphics) are the only subjects you can really take at GCSE. I'm the same as you, but i'm in year 13. I'm taking art, psychology, product design and maths.
your series is really inspiring and very informative. Yeah, it makes me want to be an architect more and feel good about it. The series made me realize how architecture is a struggle but also an adventure. :) please continue making more videos. :)
i would like to thank you for the videos "So you want to be an architect" you definetly opened my eyes, and i realise now that its not as easy as i thougth. I have a passion for architecture but im not sure that this job is for me.

fail, I am watching this after getting into architecture school... I like money, so I think I just made a major mistake. Well, architects are better of than accountants and other engineers.
Hahahahah well this is just great. Long story short you really have to love what you do otherwise you will probably commit suicide. In all reality, I am a senior going into my freshman year of college. I plan on transsferring to ut next year. I don't really like math or physics...can I still be an architect? Should I be one? Is there anyway to tell if you want to do this or if you are just a philosophical kid who likes to draw and likes the title of architect instead of doctor?
I have a question , can you give me a link or something to join the The Architect's Academy , because there are many and I don`t realy know wich one to pick , thanks ;)
@2HalfMoonBay Just try it man. I'm sure you'll love architecture so much, that you will want to learn math and physics in order to improve your designs. And if you can make it into UT Architecture, then you should, an probably will, stick to it.
I'm scared myself I took an apptitude test architect didn't fall in one of the top job positions like how I wanted it to be. I'm in my freshman year in university as well and I took prereqs for the Bachelors in Environmental Design in UBC.. sorry for babbling on.. I just want to say that I feel what you're trying to say.. I don't want to be like everyone else and do science, but I'm afraid to pursue architecture. I think that if you feel like you have potential and drive go for .
thanks for this mr.patt. im in second year highschool and i dream to become an architect when i graduate. the reasons why is that i want to travel the world and create new things no one has done. with your videos, you inspire me to follow my dream.
I just begun studying it, and I know I'm just playing architecture in my drawings and models, yet I understand the pluri-making changes, loosing sleep, redrawing the drawings you just drew.
You could add the meaning of deadline, and the surprising shortage of the night.
i dont know why most of you are saying thanks for the discouragement, this vid seems to have alot of positives and negatives. i think its realistic , its a serious profession, it looks fun, or atleast something id be willing to do. "making changes" lol
Im giving a lot of thought to becoming both a structural and landscape architect since I've worked in construction as soon as I graduated high school. With only an associate's degree in graphic design, I knew from the start that both construction and design fascinated me. Do you think that being both a landscape and structural architect have its benefits when one is a general contractor? Or is it best to stick to a specific field to master its proficiency?
im supposed to be an architect now for 2 years, but since i finished studies we hit crisis and there is no job for me n now its 2 years im sitting home playing ps3 !!! so now i totally forgot everything, when ever i have chance of sending CVs i freak out, cause i think i don't remember anything now, i think im a lazy girl who doesn't wanna work, n i stick to that idea , but sometimes i think im waste of air n time n money my dad spent on me.

I was wondering if anyone could help me because; firstly do you think I have the right grades to become an architect? and secondly I know this may sound silly but do architects work

@MBautista2 I am currently an Architecture student, studying in London. Those grades look great. Architecture schools are not really fussy with what A-levels you take. They do prefer Art ( I took Fine Art). I decided just recently that I want to drop out because the course is not for me and I am not passionate about it. Your really have to love Architecture in order to study it. It hard work, physically and mentally straining. The best Architecture schools in the UK ask for A/B for A-levels.

Okay, here's the deal.
I'm 15, and I'm taking my GCSE's soon. This year even. I'm expected to get a C in physics, a B/A in maths and a B/A in art. I want the job of an architect to be mine, but I'm not sure what A-levels to take.
I will take fine art and english (maybe 2 English's) but not maths and physics. Would I Still be able to continue as an architect if I do this?

Some truths from personal experience,
1) Pursuing a career in Architecture WILL EAT your life and YOU WILL sacrifice sleep, reading, gaming, friends, and a part of your soul or fail utterly.
2) Your work will be respected, appreciated, and even demanded to the point where mother fucking clients will constantly call you wondering if you've finished their mother fucking designs.
3) You will know true boredom when you are called upon to design 6 floor plans for one area.
4)

Great seven part series and other hotwtoarchitect videos. I'm now a fan. My son is an architect in NYC, teaches architecture at NYIT and is now on sabbatical doing a Masters in Sustainability. I went through the process with him for the past 10 years and can appreciate everything you have presented. You're right on the mark. Having seen my own son morph from teenage kid to professional architect, I can say here that it is not just a job, it is a passion and way of life. Great job Doug!

ps2604 1 year ago
@ps2604 It's a long story, but I'll try to say it quickly. Everybody says how great architecture is. I even didn't know about architecture when I decided to go at that school. Now that I have a little experience, and almost all architecture has left me cold.
Architecture is a 'thing' that respond to people 'needs' less or more, but we humans we make such a fuss because of it. Look at the history of art and architecture and you will see its direction towards nihilism and chaos.
ma3rui4si1 1 year ago
@ps2604 All we know to do is to built larger and larger, look at the skyscrapers that were built, and other big buildings. There are so many tower of Babel nowadays. Look at the materials: concrete, metal, glass, and other structure modified materials, that are not friendly to the environment. Look with patience and understand the ideas behind today's architecture and put them in comparison with faith. All I say is: humanity is wrong oriented towards itself.
ma3rui4si1 1 year ago
@ps2604 And architecture is the barometer of peoples level of ignorance and unawareness.
At the school of architecture (everywhere) we learn to make such an theatrical architecture. There is no concern for people and human being. I saw that. All we care is the level of economic development, the level of science (which is a limited and false knowledge), inflation, the global warm (which is a lie, by the way), pride, and all sins you can enumerate.
We make architecture because we sinned.
ma3rui4si1 1 year ago
@ps2604 And we sin making architecture, because we don't know how it's right.
I cannot believe that nowadays architecture is the real architecture. This is my belief.
Sorry about my swear word I did before.

Is there anyway to tell if you want to do this or if you are just a philosophical kid who likes to draw and likes the title of architect instead of doctor?

Im giving a lot of thought to becoming both a structural and landscape architect since I've worked in construction as soon as I graduated high school. With only an associate's degree in graphic design, I knew from the start that both construction and design fascinated me. Do you think that being both a landscape and structural architect have its benefits when one is a general contractor? Or is it best to stick to a specific field to master its proficiency?
