Crazy architect

[lguerrero0211]

What the fuck did I just watch?

[grisgrisy]

love the video really good

[rodswebdesign]

love the video man

[666abee]

man when i younger and still on early semester on college.. i make this stuff like this at least twice per week..

[TitleTrack12]

How are there this many idiots commenting on this video???

[MegaArchitorture]

by the way which country are u in?? 

[MegaArchitorture]

mann.... there is new materials which is make your life easy... why still are u use plywood???

[mig00alf1]

project very boring......

[AkumaDom]

i wanna hnow what type of material is that??

[BlackMythProductionz]

How long did it actually take you, to complete the model?

[KawtarMorocco]

@BlackMythProductionz

to complete a model like that in the video it could take at least 12 hours of continual work

[Gabry4fun]

For all those 'no need for models' you couldn't be more wrong. Gehry is good enough as an artist to have great engineers to find the solutions for his ideeas. It's all about team work, you engineers should take art classes, as the architects take lots of tehnical ones... Btw, Calatrava makes sculptural models, is he a dumb engineer?

[frodorhyme]

noob



[cordon1231]

what type of glue did you use

[MrTaipan55]

that's a student, not yet an Architect.

[101ers77]

Architecture designing is supposed to be basic stuff to Architects. Design ideas should pop in spontaneously in any given time to Architects. Architects should proceed to learn more about the Science aspect of Architecture and not involve too much in this gay scale model stuff.

[101ers77]

Scale models are used to present projects to laymen and non-technical people. it is not supposed to be used to conceptualize designs. Only dumb and no Engineering sense Architects like Gehry need scale models to conceptualize designs.

[101ers77]

What is this? An origami studio? Architecture education is America looks gay! No wonder you guys don't get the respect of construction people. Real Architects don't need scale models to conceptualize designs. 3D software is enough for good Architects while great Architects make do with simple 2D sketches.

[greenuparch]

@101ers77 funny cus uh... almost every architect(ure firm) presents with models. You're not an architect if you can't do models by hand. You like 3D software? yeah, we can do that but you might as well be a graphic artist cus you apparently can't handle the knife.

[666abee]

@101ers77 why architect need to learn to make models.? because it easiest way to explain scale, depth, dimension, and all 3D things to the client. architect is easy to image 3D form from 2D draw. but not all people can.. you say Gehry dumb.?? you dumb bro!! very dumb!! Gehry is a revolusioner.

[MadMonkeyVids]

@666abee Gehry is a twonk, just look at how much steelwork goes into supporting the forms of his buildings - it's not architecture, it's flamboyant and insensible

[PIECE2YOURMOTHA]

Foamcore is a bitch.

[haionwon]

Theta angle cutter is designed to cut up to 1/5 inch thick corrugate paper, foam board, rubber, or styrofoam in 30, 45, 60, 75, or 90 degree safely. It is an excellent tool for architect models, science projects, and arts & crafts projects. The suggested retail price of Theta angle cutter is just $24.99.

For more information, call me 908-343-1838 or please click gmidifier(dot)com and scroll down to the bottom. You can find Theta angle cutter commercial video.

[WhiteDragonTile]

I have no idea why my college doesn't make us make more models.... we suck -_-

[hbloch1]

Must view Toll Brothers Video.....Go to Youtube...........Looking for Schmucks

[adamtsai0]

being a fellow architect, that must have taken a very long time to make

[iAmSuperMarkie]

Miniature Building for Elves.

[zlyable]

i like architecture but i hate the assignments we are given X(

[24kojiful]

your crazy? ok. make a plan about that model you just created.

[pur3chr1s5y]

how are you crazy? o.O

you look quite the common fellow to me

[peterelliotpeter]

0:00

[TiiRR]

looks alot like the shodan house

[anime5491]

I go to a community college which DON'T have an architecture program, except CAD and I need a portfolio...I want to attend to MassArt and they require 15-20 pieces AND must be completed from direct observation of live situations or three-dimensional objects...the only thing I can do is draw. So I'll be attempting to start drawing from figures and/or model buildings from scraps..is that a good start?

[ganteng133]

everyone knows architects are all boy lovers and bum touchers, construction managers is the best!! best degree, best job for a man, manly career, gets to boss folks around, and shout at people, and tell teh architects to piss off if they make stupid designs

[ganteng133]

i dont think hes an architect! real architects uses computer softwares lol. hes more like a brick layer/carpenter?

[freederikk]

@ganteng133 If you can't make a model, you can't be an architect. the computer is just "a fast tool." So he could be :)

[ganteng133]

@freederikk to some extent i will agree to that!! when i was visiting the university of salford for an open day yeaaars ago, the structural engineers had to make a scaled down model of the trafford centre for wind tunnel testing. needles to say, it was quite an accurate model. i was very impressed.

[DoktaKazIII]

Stupid Model

[frankrizzo1004]

that design is shit

[mynameiskellie]

God, I know this feeling...breath, sleep, eat and drink...follow these rules.

[ClapsyPlapsy]

What is this ... ?

A CENTER FOR ANTS??

[urbanovibe]

@ClapsyPlapsy

it's for performing ants

[KawtarMorocco]

@ClapsyPlapsy

it's just the model of a real project but in a little scale!! and I don't know why they are calling him "crazy" it's a banal thing in architecture schools... when you make your project (plans, façades...) you must make a model like this!!!

[AsurorusA]

did ya use a cheap board? not cheap literally ..

[ZachGellerTV]

@AsurorusA you mean "chip board"

[ryex76]

:-)

[jojaRoCk]

i think its the section. not the one you want to see like a little house. perspective.

[psychooutlaw]

?? weren't you suppose to finish the model in this video, it more like your doing nothing.

[kudrei]

:. ?!?

[INTP89]

nice model..

im a first year archi. and am looking now for what is the best material to use and how u get the scale of the site right !

GOD help all architecture students..

[sierrarazz]

Use an architectural scale? and thin chipboard is pretty good, this is what this guy is using, it looks like. Also, if you can find matting board for photography students, its pretty decent material. and always some good ol corrugated cardboard :)

[mybigtoeisnumber1]

really? it looked more like foam board to me. to thick and white to be chip board!

[IbeLangley]

Also remember to eat. Getting caught up in model building can make you forget that sometimes!

[Daniel4510]

lmao ya and while you're doing the drawings

[deezynar]

Rule #1: Coffee goes in the mouth, glue goes on the model. : }

[searchandbrowsmillio]

@deezynar

NO  GLUE GOES IN THE MOUTH SOMTIMES

[fallingarmchair92]

LOLLLLLLLLZ

[888berg]

lol

[uuadafac]

@deezynar true, true, but very hard to follow..

[ANKITTHEOG]

@deezynar that happend with me man.. drinking glue by mistake

[deezynar]

@ANKITTHEOG

Bummer, dude.

[jaja1818]

@deezynar yup..only an architecture student can understand why that is rule no.1 LOL

[pistolaclothing7]

poop as much as you can.

[explodapoof]

around the design studio?

[GeneralFresh]

crazy indeed..the form of the model didnt change much in all that time..but the word sucky comes to mind ;p

[Arqus88]

what do you mean "crazy"? I don't follow..

[marylovestony1]

im 3 years old. im using my mommy's screen name. I want to be an architect one day. Im really good with blocks and legos.

Thank,

Little Timmy

[Ben46638163]

hahaha, lol, a three year old knows what an architect is, has the brains to know he wants to be one, knows how to type and use a computer? i dont think so lol.

[rjkn89]

nice model by the way! looks good

[rjkn89]

it pays some. really its like any other proffession, if ur good at it, you can make a fair amount, if that's what your after. but you also have to work a lot at it, but its rewarding i think. But if ur lookin for a country estate, mmmmm no. But, you could design a country estate for someone, which is not to shabby an option

[Pepe2727]

whats crazy about that ?? :-/

[sir5ive]

i'm majoring in Architecture. took advanced 6 hour classes in HS and winning awards like best in state senior year. but it's really hard for me to build models. i have limited use of my hands/arms from a car accident when i was 9.

i'm worried/nervous that i could possibly fail b/c of this.

btw, i made a model, just a mid-size one and it took me forever to cut, glue, and etc. but finished it.

[antfartica321]

im 12 and architecture is my dream job i own a few home building softwares how does architecture pay because im trying to find out facts about architectual jobs

[sir5ive]

i've heard that architecture's hard work and the pay is low. at least the starting pay for an architect who's entering the field is low.

i don't know the exact answer b/c every1 has their own opinion, but if you like what you're doing, i think that should be the main reason of wating architect career.

i use to want to make a lot of money and be popular in the field, my goal, but architecture's much more about these shallow things.

good luck !!

[antfartica321]

ok thank you for the info :)

[sierrarazz]

Architecture is not where the money is. Because it is still considered to be in "Liberal Arts (at most schools, anyway), its not like a job of an engineer, where you know you have a position as soon as you graduate. Its a lot of work, you have to dedicate your life to it. I've spent nights crying because of no sleep, bad critique, wondering if its where I want to be or not, etc.... but overall I love what I do. I hope to be like Zaha Hadid one day :) what do you mean "Shallow things?"

[dannysaltee]

If you want money, find a different profession.

[KaLul1]

what material are you using? iam modeling landcapes with putty and cement and paint it and such. pm me and i send u images of it. plz tell me the material. i want to make buildings too!!

[sierrarazz]

looks like chipboard

[jjccccc]

try using second life its better and the results look way better and its faster

[sierrarazz]

sketch up is another easy (and free!) program if you want to play around with this stuff

[k77z]

yea

nothin special

same here in indonesia... but more creative

[EmergencyEscapePRGM]

ordinary

[MJin03]

um... i dont see why that is crazy.

[wangaaa]

Crazy? Ive seen crazier sh1t done with lego!

[PierSteers]

lol nice one

[expediteplanb]

First year, first semester chipboard project = executing volume through the use of too many planes, bad design, and habitual implementation of cubes.

[chibone1]

man this is awesome

[coumn]

what's the materials used ?

[lebanon2lebanese]

its not a glue , its the ( chloroforme )

[tu2]

what kind of glue is that??

[iurak6868]

like the video, i had found myself wasting so much time in a model, and then it doesn't look like its taken that much

[satincowboydingo]

Ha ha. I like this video. Nice model too. There are some cool architectural models used in the beginning of a music video I just saw called "The Distance". I heard the lead singer is also an architect.

[danielsarch]

If anyone is interested in some advice or has advice to share on architecture in general, send me a comment

[fcuk088]

Im going into college and i was wondering what courses would i need to apply for if i want to become a architect

[danielsarch]

the college tells you all the classes you need. If your college is nice(like mine :D) they will give u list of classes u need to take. Hope that helps!

[ogfunk187]

dont become an architect, most courses are run by egotistical bullies, and after years and years of training its low paid and your'll get little thanks for your hard work.

[antsmasherjack]

That's why you have to be passionate about your work.

[getdownbaby]

thats y u have to IMMEDIATELY drop the class if you get these type of teach-less professors

[danielsarch]

only the classes involving design are run by egotistical bullies, but it feels so damn good when you make great work so u can shove it in their face. hahah thats what i aim for

[pmgruhn]

And most of your cow-orkers are whiners who shouldn't be cluttering up the profession.

[supamiss]

Civil engineering and architecture are two very different things, HoundPride04...

[AmaryllaC]

if you study architecture it must be for the art itself and not for fame, money, or even to make a difference in the world. most of what you do will never leave the drawing board. you must be passionate about it to the point where you are willing to give up sleep, health, and your social life. i'm in school now, and i can tell you that there is not one person in my program who looks happy at this point in their lives. in my opinion, architects have little wisdom when it comes to balancing life

[danielsarch]

If thats what you truly feel I think you should REALLY think things through. Im doin the same major so i know the work. If you don't want to go insane i suggest you think differently...

[sierrarazz]

Every time I get to that point in school where I'm questioning if this is right or not, I think about the architecture lectures that my school has hosted. I look at the incredible works that these people have done all over the world and see what a difference a building can make in someone's life. that reminds me that this is what i want to do: impact people, make something beautiful, and complete a challenge

[John12787]

Im in architecture and feel the same way. I wantto be able to live life and feel that architects have to sacrifice too much just for their career.

[Obscuros8]

you must be 1st or 2nd year student. That model looks so simple. Looks like 1 night of work.

[marcolammers]

you must be a 3rd year student ;-)

[masba005]

What kind of materials do professional architects use?.. im a 2nd/5 yr student and we're only limited to whitecard, balsa and foamboard atm

[Headcrabb]

Professionals use polymer plastics as well as the materials you mentioned (depending on the model itself)

More major models are contracted out to model making firms rather than the architects doing it themselves. The model makers would would be the ones using the slicker materials.

Why do not just ask your teachers these things ?

[masba005]

Ok cheers for that...never came to mind in my 1st yr.. atm just looking for additional materials to use which might come as a surprise to my tutors when i begin using them

[uaakitektu1928]

hi re you an architect?/ can you help me on specifying and giving some materials in walls and roof.. for my thesis ..performing arts...thx

[Headcrabb]

be creative!

A local hobby store specializing in wargaming, model trains etc would be more than willing to help.

[getdownbaby]

if you are workin on your thesis you should know this by now

[truedante]

i will be hopefully in a few years, im studying at the moment

[sweetandtasty]

long live architects and their patience!! i am one as well :)

[stitchmond3]

nice

[veronikkaa]

cool!

[Lovro2]

Ill be an architect one day,Im educating now,yaay,can't wait...:)

[escdelesp]

cool vid and rapid model!
