This channel is designed to guide aspiring architects by providing exposure to essential software like Autodesk AutoCAD and Revit, along with vital knowledge and skills in architecture and construction. It aims to prepare them for transitions into architectural studios at higher learning institutions or the professional workforce as drafters, junior architects, and architectural interns, leading eventually to roles as Project Managers, Principals, or owners of architecture firms. Drawing from 15 years of diverse experience in both private and government sectors, handling residential and commercial projects using wood, metal, and concrete, I offer insights from crafting homes to towering skyscrapers. With seven years of owning an architecture firm, this platform serves to share invaluable knowledge on architecture, student life, school advice, career paths, steps to becoming an architect, and surviving architecture school. #architecture #architectural #process #design
Thanks for amazing Tutorial. I have not found any video series regarding USA permit drawing on RU-vid. I requesting you to make series, so that we learners get benefit from your videos because your teaching method is quite good. you may make a series according to your state/county. Kindly consider my request
Thank you! I am trying to adhere to Houston, TX code which falls under Harris county or city of Houston the goal of this series is to adhere to construction document ultimately create a set of drawings that could be potentially permitted, but for a more complex project would require more drawing while the principles are the same floor plan, elevations, section etc.
Thank you for this video! It's really helpful as our son is considering architecture programs. Curious if you have any thoughts regarding UT Arlington's Architecture program.
You’re welcome! UT Arlington does have an architecture program as far as I can see it is a bachelor of science in architecture which is a four-year degree which means it is not a NAAB accredited program ultimately if the students want to become a licensed architect or want to own his own firm he will need to do master in order to qualify for licensure exam. This program is most similar to Texas A&M PV. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns
Not really because if you zoom out too far, are you lost your drawing? You can keep hitting control Z you’ll still be on a blank screen it almost feels like you just lost your entirety of your file.
I think both architects and engineers play complementary roles in building design. Architects focus on the vision, aesthetics, and functionality of spaces, while engineers ensure safety and structural integrity. Architects also lead projects, balancing client needs, sustainability, and the user experience. While engineers handle the technical side, architects create spaces that are both functional and visually appealing. Both are essential for a successful project. I think recent trends have been that architects creativity is suppress due to financial burdens or client whims not exploring beyond what they are right now at the same time the responsibility of providing a new innovation and originality falls on the architect if architect starts viewing their job as a service rather than undercutting each other to get the building out the fastest through the office, we can bring respect back to the profession
A year ago we purchased a 3k square foot house built in 1986, it's incredible! SO much better insulated than our former 1920s home and without the plumbing and electrical headaches. Also the home seems much better built than the new construction homes my friends have been buying. My friends buying new construction have a $400 monthly HOA and I pay zero HOA. Layout in our 1986 home is surprisingly modern and very similar to current designs, aside from the vaulted ceiling in the living room.
You will find this to be true in most 1960s to 1980s homes because there was a fundamental movement towards having indoor outdoor relationships because since 1950s people felt like the house became too close to think that it was a normal in the 1920s 30s and 40s to actually open the window before you go to sleep Nowadays we focus on closing out from the exterior to maximize efficiency, thereby the window have shrunken over the years along with the house have become much tighter so you have no idea what the weather like on the outside. I’m glad you’re able to find a house of your dream! The 80s were great era!
So even theoretically speaking, if you were to model as a mass model, you would still have to subdivide sharp curve by cutting the surfaces using splines etc. but gradual curves you can model them and then later turn them into walls with properties of glass so you can have a “shallow curve glass” without millions if that’s what you’re asking. I will do a video on curve planes on Revit in the near future.
I can’t believe people even without design understanding would make a person exit the building and then jump into a restroom through a triangle shape opening… forget ADA normal people can’t even get in
If you do curtain walls or waffle slab you might want to consider line as you offset both way from center, but overall I agree pline is faster and my preferred method for most task
It is my personal preference to down, save and sketch up, but in normal sketch up model still is capable of being transferred over to Revit as a family file. Hope this helps.
It is my personal preference to down save on sketch up but sketch up is still capable of transferring as a Revit family file… Another thing you can also try is if you are under Google 3-D warehouse where you can download sketch up models you can also convert those into Revit family file. The only issue is each one of the family is a standalone that doesn’t have any parameters. Hope this helps. Sorry for the late reply.
When I copy and paste the lights and try to place them my ceiling is no longer visible so I can't line up the lights to the grid. Have you encountered this? The ceiling pattern is still visible when i'm not trying to paste the lights.
I have run across this issue on previous projects… for some odd reason they lose host ceiling my solution was placing multiple light as components at the same time then use align to adjust them to the grid
With the death of ornaments and the move towards modernity, the simplification of buildings have gotten to a point where there’s no sense of character/charm in building, it’s quite sad with proper understanding of architectural history, we can start taking steps in the right direction
Realistic view is primarily for 3D drawings try visualizing it using section box in 3D view or Revit Quick Tip | Using Color Fill Legend to Create Architectural presentation plans! ru-vid.com8oKBNX4XUVk?feature=share
That is the best way to learn about the buildings to do a case study build a model from plans, section and elevation etc. I don’t know hogwarts castle from Harry Potter, but the Versailles use principles of design even down to the landscape
Great video! My home is a 1928 bungalow 2bd/1b with the original windows. Solid as a rock with the original wood floors, plaster/lathe, etc. I am not sure if/when the kitchen was renovated though (if at all) since it still has the drop down ironing board (with crease press). Not a big house but big enough. She is a great old girl.
Houses of the 1920s era are great to renovate as they are straight forward to gut, kind of like a classic hot rod. I renovated a 1928 house in the Heights, Houston, Texas where the roof sheathing was 2x8 laid on its side across scissor trusses! beyond overkill pretty much spent much of the time figuring out how to expose the bones of the structure without compromising efficiency
3:55, I seen spaces like that in some houses and thought about it being a secret area or chill zone, but due to it not really being for that I also wonder if it could support the weight lol
Lost my train of thought when I said shirts… I would love to analyze Seattle and Bellevue and how the expected changes are going to have an impact the two sides are connected
@@architecturalab Hey whats up man, love your vids i just subscribed. I was just watching your autodesk revit videos and im struggling on it. Is there a way you could give me the link for the file to download excercise 12-4? Thanks, it would help me a ton
I am so sorry as I am not able to do so because as I am also teaching the class, I do not want my students to get hold of files that are already complete. Thank you for understanding.
Because the design process from architect and engineer is very different. We do not iterate as much as an architect and if the architect changes something they perceive as tiny it can cause havoc on the engineering side of things.
Aesthetics drives a lot of the decisions in architecture, and sometimes I believe engineers might overlook symmetry or something that the architect is trying to achieve and you are right there’s been times where the principal architect that I worked under specified the door on the wall that would affect not only structural, but also mechanical electrical plumbing because we had so many things running through that wall. This is a valid point.
