hey,doug..thx 4 the vids..

it really motivated me to become an architect...

as an architectural student tthere is a couples question i wanna ask??

do you have a clue about some good excercise to improve my drawing skill...or sketches???

do you know some sites that provide really good information about architecture...books,design..e­tc...

thx d0ug..

[phroto13]

check out the book "HATCH : a new architectural generation"

[howtoarchitect]

I'm sure if you want to learn you can.

[amirrimacarefree]

hey, since u really respond to ur question i thought it would be helpful if i ask couple your opinion first.

im good at autocad, do you think i would be able to learn REVIT by myself over summer? just reading of the self-study books!

[howtoarchitect]

that's great to hear! thanks for the note. All the best.

[StickyAnus]

I just graduated as an architect in a London Uni. These types of vids get me motivated and that little bit more motivated, to enter competitions and get the career going.

[MeanGreenLuigi]

The more I watch your videos, the more I get inspired to become an architect. My life long dream =D

[ivanlunaelizarraras]

hey doug, its been a long time since i stoped drawing (on a daily basis) and now im thinking that architecture might be the right career for me. do u think my lack of drawing through out these years could be a fact on weather i shoud pursue arch?

[howtoarchitect]

your drawing skills will come back if you work at it. pursue architecture if it's your passion.

[SteffiH0]

Your AMAZING!

WIsh I could be great as you soon*

[amirrimacarefree]

hey,im in 2nd year of architectural technology. Got some concerns.first im good at using software like AutoCAD but its hard to me to picture 3-D :(. what would you suggest.and then should i go all the way to be an architect? Is it worth it? Knowing that these days construction business is down to its lowest point. and last thing, how do i keep in touch with you through school days so you would give me great ideas.since you really are inspiring me i want you to respond to me so im stay motivated.

[ivanlunaelizarraras]

well contstruction industry is low but maybe by the time u get out of college the industry might have recovered

[amirrimacarefree]

tanx for your hopeful comment

.but what i wanna know is should i proceed to upper level of architectural study, or I would be all set with what I am doin right know

[howtoarchitect]

being able to conceptualize is more important than being able to think in 3 dimensions, although thinking in 3D is a powerful tool. At the end of the day I believe that people should do things because it's what they're made to do. Money or job availability, while important, is not a reason not to do something. You do something because it's in your heart. The rest will come. Maybe not in the way you think or were expecting. Follow your dreams and in the mean time get a job to pay the bills:)

[aki822]

Your drawing skill are just outstanding, thank you soo much for sharing... keep them coming :)

[snij64]

like the design :)

[Ishouldnotbe]

Greetings from a architecture student from Portugal.

Keep the good work :)

[MeGorReal]

doug i really enjoy the energy and creativity of your videos! thanks for sharing.

also, what software did you use?

[howtoarchitect]

photoshop & illustrator

[avihagever]

i lost you on "thanks"

:)

but i would be more than happy

if you will upload a video called

"how to start a house"

after all! im a great fan and long time subscribed to you

:P

[avihagever]

i love you ideas

can you tell us how do you start a house?

i mean... from the first line or circle that you make

how do you finish it into art.

loved the house!

[howtoarchitect]

thanks. these houses are EXTREMELY condensed design problems so they really don't represent a true design process. I do these by coming up with an idea or theme based on the client/site/program and simply start sketching. Once I've got the basic form down I'll take it into perspective sketches then more detialed hardline drawings to develop it further. Then to software to add color, fills, images, text, etc...

[uklockpicka]

If i was him i would call you, really like the design of the structure, what was it done in cad???

[howtoarchitect]

all by hand.

[JesusIsMyHomeDogg]

You sir, are a genius. Are these just concept houses? or are you actually designing these for people?

[howtoarchitect]

thanks. just concept houses.

[Triplets68]

I think Kevin Bacon should look at this house Nice house

[dpxmidisplaylol]

He should call you. :) So does Leno

[justin55723]

A fireplace in california eh? I live in minnesota and during the frigid, disgustingly cold winters it tips to around 60 degrees below zero. Anything where water isn't freezing...I think Kevin Bacon will be just fine.
