Hi there, is it too late to be an architect if you're 21?

@Gwizzlez no.

I regret that you do not post new videos anymore...

Here a quicker guide:

-Do you like working over hours?

-Are you willing to give up on all your hobbies that are not connected to architecture?

-Do you think having a normal family life is soooo 18th century?

-Do you love to argue with civil engeneers about stuff they don't care about at all (i.e.design)?

-Is it your dream to participate in 10 competitions every year winning only one (with luck)?

-Do you love the question: "You only earn that little money?" And then: "REALLY?"

Then become one! :)

@Subzeroofficial... Of course it is great to be able to sketch, it helps convey an idea fast. But if you really want to be competent in the job market, learn BIM, CADD, Sketchup, Photoshop, etc. These help take those sketches and make the models used for today's fast pace environment. Those that ignore this will have a harder time being successful...

Would it still be ok to sketch out drawings of buildings rather than relying on the computer in this generation?

I'm 16 years old and I love Art period. I draw alot, but my main goal is to become an Architect, I have an Itch to learn the basics of Architecture, do you have any/know of any basic classes of architecture online (Sketching Mostly) I'll hopefully get to the modeling during College .
