Hi everyone I’d like to share with you every thing I have learned from my Architectural background such as technical, material, creativity practices, sketching, and drawing.
As a 2nd year architecture student still trying to understand form development and concepts , this was utterly confusing 🫤. Nevertheless I get that there are different aspects to how to develop a form
Hey, I am a new viewer to your channel and I am really enjoying you're tutorials and what your channel provides. I am an applicant for a university within the UK and want to study architecture. I was wondering if you would be able to critique some pieces i have made for my applicant portfolio or if you have any resources, tips or extra advice you could provide, any would be a great help!
Hello, thank you for following my channel. I am so happy that you like this content and found it useful. The best I can tell is to provide a portfolio which contains not too many pages but maybe 30-35 of the renderings and sketches of yours that indicates your progress and how you can develop the ideas you have using a variety of tools and techniques such as perspective, colour, composition, and creativity. I hope this is helpful.
The issue with this process is that it follows a diagrammatic reading instead of a qualitative analysis with argument. It’s plausible a museum needs to ignore all context.. Too much arbitrary carving and top down design here. Depending on the problem it may be worthwhile to start inside out rather than outside in.
Context is important. The best place to begin usually is from the allotted site and its surrounding constraints. With the site defined and setbacks considered; context can then be established in relation to the surroundings and neighborhood, such that entry points, assessibility, orientation, service points, view points etc, can be established. However, it is important to note that surrounding constraints does not always force the shape of a building necessarily as function (inside to out) heavily influences the form and shape!
This was really educational. Could you make a video in the future on how to design plans? Not the technical drawing aspect (though that would be useful too) but how to manage circulation and layout, how to design plans so that they aren't a huge block, how to reduce negative space (and if they are necessary, when and why), how to implement sun-path and ventilation properly, etc. It would be great if you could recommend some further readings and videos as well. I have tried to find resources that talk about the basics of architectural planning but I can't seem to find any.
Thank you so much for your comment and feedback. Thank you for suggesting these topics. I will provide more material and information about them. I know there are limited resources out there, but I’ll provide more videos covering those topics in the future.
@@Thompsfacekillah 30x40 Workshop l was the first channeI found when I searched for architecture channel that focused on more educational stuff and it has quickly become one of my favorite channels.
Generally the lines must meet when they are connected and if they are creating a form or shape. The boxes that I draw in this video are just the frames to practice controlled and strong lines inside.
Thank you for clarifying this. I’m sorry too for misspelling brick. Yes, of course I am preparing more videos of one-point and two-point perspective renders and sketches.
There is a handsome and informative book on museum exhibition design from the eyes of a famed SF bay area museum exhibition designer with decades of experience in planning and designing museum exhibitions. The book is available at Fine Arts Press. The book should be of interest to anyone working in or interested in museum exhibition design, as well as residential design in regards to fine art installation.
I don't understand why you didn't directly address the axes, but rather, did so in an indirect way. I find this perverse. Regardless the envelope you choose, this neighborhood will never be satisfied with the building because the building has its own independent logic at odds with the logic of the neighborhood.
Thank you for watching the video, your comment and sharing your opinion on this video. This video is just an example of one approach out of different possible approaches for designing a building with respect to the neighborhood. In a real situation we may have different buildings and conditions and urban design bylaws from one city to another one.
@@Architecturelessonand thank you also. I understand that it's just one approach but that's one of the worst things about modern thinking on architecture. Too many of the approaches leave us with unhappy people. And unhappy for good reasons.
@@miketackabery7521Diversity is human. You're the same humanbeing that would complain and be bored out of life if there was only one approach or claim to solving problems, or say 1 building type to house all diverse human needs, interests, behaviors and expectations. Now, there are several building types in architecture, serving different functions, catering for different needs. A museum will differ from a prison quarters in its overall context and intention. Primarily there are 3 key principles that every building must adhere regardless of where it is to be built; FUNCTION, STABILITY, AESTHETICS. These 3 on a basic level guides an architects interpretation of space, form, shape. Aside these 3, there are other vast considerations an Architect must make; like topography and soil itself, human behavior and feeling, materials, cost, bylaws, brief, culture, colors, etc relevant to the design to which context becomes very important. Moreso, because gravity is the number 1 constraint, every building must have a site. Each site on earth is unique and helps shape a building. So much that even if the architect starts the design from inside, he must end up considering the site outside, putting it in context therefore shaping his building. The approach you take in the end, helps the design accomplish its goal.
Architecture is complex, and to agree with Frank Gehry, the highest freedom you can get is about 20% if you're unbelievably skilled. The rest is taken up by constraints imposed in nature. That's why we try to find solutions around these constraints.
Thank you for explained the process.I found the content very usefull.Other comments says why lines or paralell.They should know that architecture design has lots of aspects and approach. In this video he has used one of them.
I didn’t get why would make parallel lines at the backsides of the building, u just cutting gross area. If u wanted to straighten the walls then just make parallel interior walls
Thank you for your comment. That can be another option too. In this video the purpose was to indicate how the foot print of the building can be shaped and formed by being affected by the elements from outside in the neighbourhood. But sometimes this process may start from inside (interior walls) to outside. It depends on what approach we choose to design.
