In this video, I walk through all the steps you need to get through to become a 'licensed Architect'. Although I love being an architect, it's a long process and you should only dive into it after understanding all the logistical steps. These are some things I wish I'd know before I started my journey, so I hope you guys find this helpful.

Architecture professional culture basically treats (and pays) workers like artists but regulates them like doctors. SMH.

@anthonyazanon6160 2 года назад

For real. Very discouraging, reason why I tend to day dream during work. Lol!

@serradojapi 2 года назад

This is so true! Crazy! She is a super high achiever! I didn’t know it was that hard to become an architect in Canada! In Brazil all you need is a bachelors degree in architecture! As you know when you come out of your bachelor degree you are basically clueless! So it is meaningless in Brazil!

@emmakayf 3 года назад

Thank you for emphasizing that “architect” is a earned title. When I was in undergrad I was naive and worked for someone who said they were an architect. They were not they were a general contractor and none of the DD, SD, or CD work I did counted towards AXP

@DamiLeeArch 3 года назад

Ahhh ouch.. Wow shame on that person. He/she should know better from having worked in the industry. Did you learn a lot about construction though?

@divyasasidharan2960 2 года назад

@lea856 3 года назад

I love architecture especially older architecture styles but I never knew what it takes to get it to the end result until I started watching various videos. It made me see that I like to admire architecture and it's history but I wouldn't have the drive to be an architect. Many props to you 👏

@pocchami 3 года назад

OMG Your videos have been of so much help to me. I'm a high school student and deciding to pursue architecture as a profession. A couple of hours ago, I didn't know anything about architecture and thought it was just "designing" and "drawing" but, after binge watching your videos, I realised it's not that glamorous after all. I'm a very competitive person so I think that hearing about all the sacrifices and challenges one has to face has kind of made me want to pursue this career even more. lol. :,)

@DamiLeeArch 3 года назад

Hahah that's awesome. We need more students like you in this world 😁

@Insomnia_tic Год назад

Lol me too. I honestly feel discouraged (and frankly scared) at every turn by every architect that makes jokes about not getting sleep, being torn apart, working endlessly, not making much money, but there’s something about it that seems like the right job for me. One of the only ones I’d be willing to endure all of that for (i hope they really are embellishing for humor oml). I hope it will be rewarding 😭 because all these adults are making it really hard to pursue the dream

I'm in architectural technology in Ontario ( going to go to uni after for a bachelor's) and this has been the most informative and motivating reference I have ever come across! Especially near the end of the semester, I have been very unmotivated to get my architectural license lol! (also seeing a young female accomplish this and explain the process in Canada helps A LOT)

@DamiLeeArch 3 года назад

Wow thanks so much!! I was also pretty unmotivated and burnt out at the end of the semester. Remember to give yourself some time off!!

@connorgooch5654 Год назад

Very clear and helpful video!! I wish I had this guidance when I was getting registered... Although, I thought it would be pertinent to share my experience getting registered myself. I am a registered Intern Architect with the Canadian Architectural Certification Board and I niether of my degrees were accredited by the CACB. I achieved my Bachelors in Architectural Science and BCIT and I acheived my Masters Hochschule Wismar in Germany. You have to apply for a foreign degree application and create a very detailed metrix of all of the courses you ever took, descriptions, lab hours, studio hours, academic calendars, thesis, etc. It was definitely a lot more complicated but made it! HUGE fan of all your videos :) LOVE the scifi / space / burning man ones - haha love them all! Looking forward to the next video :)

@danielsahnn 2 года назад

Recently started following your channel and find the content you provide valuable especially when it comes to learning about the practice of architecture as opposed to what we learn in school. Interesting story about me is that I started working in a firm before I ever pursued my bachelors. I'm actually pursuing my bachelors now. Fortunately in California we are able to get licensed without the need of a BA or MA which is nice but at the same time if you can go to school it helps a lot as you would imagine. So I am more than half way there to begin my NCARB exams. For those who study or live in the states it is possible to work at a firm and get educated at same time. It will be difficult but at the right internship you will grow and excel. The internship I did paid but it all depends on where you apply and experience. (I had none four years ago)

@DamiLeeArch 2 года назад

I think the US is definitely ahead of Canada in that regard. I think it's because the AIA had many architects advocating for early licensure.

@josephsy 3 года назад

Thank you Dami for the distinction between what is a registered architect and what is not. I appreciate your non-BS approach to this topic, a lot of people out here are fluffing the subject matter up. I'm looking to re-train from film production/photography into this field, and there are a ton of questions I didn't even know I had! Many thanks, I'll be binging your content for the next few weeks haha 🙏

@DamiLeeArch 3 года назад

@User_dkffkdrkagfgk Год назад

Great video! You really did well getting those hours in every section. I still need so many hours in different phases but I got slowed down with mat leave and baby and so it seems like license is even farther away. I believe half of my friends are licensed so as women taking time off to spend with your precious little one feels, on other hand, bad for career. Anyways, it'd be great to see a video in your skills for finishing everything so fast, also tips for EXAC! Cheers!

Great video. I think you covered all of the most important information. I do have a couple of questions. 1) Do the internship hours pay you for your work or does one have to do separate jobs just to earn a livable salary? 2) What jobs can you take on with an Architecture degree without a license? Any positions you can work in the field without a license? Maybe a position in an architectural firm?

@AnDytheBOSSx 2 года назад

BIG heads up! If you are interning during your time at school those hours count towards your AXP hours! I went to a 5 year masters program with a 30-week internship during my 4th year. So I was able to rack up a thousand hours before I even graduated. I worked for more than the 30 weeks don't get exploited but overtime is nice when you are getting paid hourly and racking up AXP.

@VonTrapp125 3 года назад

Your channel is great!! Thanks for the content and high quality output. It’s great that you don’t sugarcoat the facts about the consequences of tertiary education choices, because I think everybody wishes they knew more about how things would turn out based on what they choose to study. Just a random content idea but I think it would be nice also if you shared more of what your specific personal experience of certain things was too, just for example something like why does it take some people more time to complete their internships or how you would have approached your licensing exams differently, or what did it take for you to realise that if you don’t ask for contract negotiation hours in your internship you just gonna get stuck doing renderings for minimum wage

@DamiLeeArch 3 года назад

These are all amazing ideas! I've actually thought about doing a video on pretty much every one of these topics you mentioned but didn't think anyone would be into it 😅 good to know there's some interest.. thanks for the suggestions!!

I'm 47, my age it's not a crutch. No matter the age, one should go for what they desired. It's better to start early, but some of us could be late bloomers. Architecture seems my next journey. Perhaps I can leave a mark in the world.

@suekuan1540 Год назад

Just getting into university is pretty hard. Engineering , commerce needs close to 90% from high school or more at the better universities. To get into architecture ( ie after you get your bachelor), you will then be scrutinized with marks, portfolio etc. It is pretty much like law school, professional engineer, and medical school. Only people with the top marks fill in the very spots available

@sofialg2944 3 года назад

Honestly here in Brazil things are messy. We take 5 years to take our licence (if you work hard haha) and in those 5 years we have to learn all of the topics and work in a internship. I mean I cant count how many days I didn't sleep because of our schedule... It feels a little disorganized 🤷 Great videooo ♥️

@DamiLeeArch 3 года назад

Yeah I heard about that in schools in some EU countries as well. My coworker is from Spain and she said they learn about all the practice based aspects of architecture in school, and that once you graduate, you are basically an architect. She also told me that most people don't register to be an architect because the fees are high and salary is the same. Is it the same?

@tylermills1255 Год назад

@yme3267 3 года назад

Before watching the video.... too long.... far too long This video made me more impressed with my school overall though. I always thought the sucked at teaching certain skills.... however..... there's just so much for them to cover in school..... this made me appreciate what I do know as is at a 4th year level. Thanks for the video. Well put together with the info. Appreciate it. Sincerely, An Architecture Student in Tennessee

@DamiLeeArch 3 года назад

Yes... very long... but like any long-term endeavor, worth it in the end imo. It would be impossible for you to learn all these things during school, especially because so much of this practical knowledge would be hard to gain without actually going through a real project! Not sure what your school is like, but mine was definitely more conceptual, and I wish I had learned a bit more of this practical stuff while in school. It's good to keep in the back of your mind as you go through studio!

@Cadzillion Год назад

Choosing Architecture as my course when I enter college is intimidating me, not gonna lie. Math isn't my best subject but it's not like I'm bad at it, I'm kinda pressured not because of math only, but I'm doubting my skills. At first, this was my parents' dream, but soon, imagining myself being an architect and having the title, I want it. Plus I also wanna be like you, a girlboss. Hahaha I'm thankful for your videos, they're really helpful

@jeskoumm 2 года назад

Interesting to say the least...I need to watch this again. Apparently I am also an architect along the engineering role I wield and perform in British Columbia...but for the life of me I cannot remember where we've encountered. If you happen to know where we previously joined and left off, should greatly help determine a blueprint we may approach or a path to interject focus and support immediate collaborative means. *If you're solely going by Facebook, you may not recognize me today because of my choice to express a more natural hair colour than you may previously remember.

@KambizSayari 2 года назад

@DoubleShakey Год назад

Hi Dami, I stumbled on this video a couple years too late. But I was wondering anyway, after finishing a masters in architecture, what options do I have other than doing an internship and being an architect?

@anorax001 Год назад

The feeling I have after watching Dami's videos is that the whole architecture qualification process is designed to weed out poor performers and only the best and most dedicated will survive the process. As someone else said it is similar to becoming a doctor.

@MiguelHernandez-wx3pw 4 месяца назад

Talk about every subject if you can - lol - the reason why I ask is because I'm ambitious and confident like crazy. I'm going to school for Bus and Eco for my masters for both but I'm gonna take like 18 other classes and get my masters in all of them but I'm gonna take a few at a time. Bus and Eco is mainly all I need but I just have a mind that's crazy for knowledge. this complement is real -> your videos are kind of funny but that catches my attention to learn what you're teaching cause it keeps my eyes off my phone lol your videos are very helpful.

@arash_itect Год назад

Hi Dami, Great content, Thank you for sharing About the areas that you have to gain experience in your internship program, do you have to submit some sort of essay about it and explain what you did and how you did it or just showing a chart stating that you did some hours of work on that is enough? Thanks

@jaredlee96 2 года назад

Hi Dami! I’ve recently been watching a bunch of your videos since I’m thinking about pursing a career in Architecture! So I’m 25, graduated with a music degree since that’s another big interest of mine, but started to realize that maybe I wanted to invest in an architecture career (something I was originally going to do after HS, but never did). Also, trying to make a living at music is very very difficult unfortunately :(. I have no experience in the field…never worked with certain softwares, or really even sketched houses/buildings and architectural designs. Now with that being said, I have sketched my whole life - I love drawing and creating. Is there a way to getting tutoring in this field prior to pursing a degree? Even though I’m 25, would I just start over and get a bachelors in architecture, or would I try to purse a masters degree instead after trying a different route? I also noticed that most of the universities I’ve looked at require a portfolio of work for acceptance into the program (which I don’t really have too much to show other than music stuff and maybe some sketches/photography that are semi-ok compared to maybe what I could try and do now. I appreciate any help you can give! Your videos have certainly helped me think strategically about pursing this as a career! Thank you! Best, Jared

@dmytroyaremchuk4881 Год назад

@andreboeing7970 Год назад

I'm currently studying architectute in Brazil and the process here is SO different. You graduate in 5 (some are 6) years and high after college you can have your license and start working as an architect and the hours working and supervision of a licensed architec is a requirement for you to graduate, if you don't have at least one or two terms working as an intern you can not graduate

@seanspencer9396 2 года назад

I'm an architect and have been for almost 30 years. I'll add: a. learn much about the construction industry and all it entails, especially changing and modernizing trends; b. be acquainted with urban design (the full dynamics of it) and some form of urban mechanics; c. be innovative as much as possible in designing. Read about Le Corbusier, F. L. Wright and Norman Foster (3 famous 20th c. architects) and you'll see why; d. love the "green scene" and hate it not! The public will appreciate you more; e. profession-wise, be on time, move about and constantly talk to senior professionals in the field. Very important! I love your presentation. You take time to speak clearly, thoughtfully and carefully. Thanks, DamiLee. I'm Acting Chief Architect where I am and despite stress and some crazy folk, I'm a survivor with intent!

@estebanduenass 2 года назад

Very informative, thank you 😁 What about the registrations in Europe? If you’re a registered architect in Europe, would that also apply in North America? I’m making my bachelors in Germany but I might do masters in another country in Europe, or in Australia or in Canada (idk yet where) how are all this homologation processes?

@cosentinoarchitectureinc.72 3 года назад

What exactly is “bidding and negotiations”? Thanks for making these. Don’t feel bad, it took me 10 years AFTER my master’s to get licensed. I was too busy being on my own and single after school. I was a dummy. I still can’t believe I waited so long!

@DamiLeeArch 3 года назад

You know what they say, architecture is a lifelong journey. Bidding is where contractors bid on a project to be considered for the job. Architects answer their questions prior to submitting the bids, and they review the bids to help the client select the winner.

@binhvando5564 3 года назад

It’s really depending on which country and depend on you. I know some people took 3 year to finish RIBA level 1 then they start apprenticeship but other took 7 year to get RIBA M’arch.

I enjoy art and design, so is there a process that a dummy like me could take a set of sketches and ideas to an architect and have them convert my ideas into actual designs? In my head I imagine it like passing a baton but realize there's a lot more to architecting than I could possibly know

hello i am a freshman in a regular community college. did you just go into an architecture school straight out of high school or did you still go to a regular school like a community, state, or university?

@dennynikaj 2 года назад

Nest year i will graduate on my Bachelor's degree and I plan to immediately start my masters degree on december in Oslo. I already have 2 years of payed internship and contracted work, of wich I am really proud of. Everything that you say it is true, but as an architect I say the same as you, but in a different word: Not everything should be your opportunity, follow your gut feeling because nobody but you knows what you want.

That's a great way of putting it. Sometimes opportunities are distractions in disguise.

One more thing, DamiLee. I studied at Andrew's University in south-west Michigan, graduated with a Bachelor's Degree.

Love your video. Very informative. I am studying a 5 year architecture program in a Thai university. One of my dream is to go to UC Berkeley for grad school. Not sure if I could apply

@DamiLeeArch 3 года назад

You can do it! Just focus on your portfolio and grades. Expensive school though

@theheartofdavid3084 2 года назад

how do you understand the obc for residential houses? Do you have any links I could look at for free to understand it better or have a list of things you definitely need to do to get the permit from the city? I've learned from a lot of youtube videos. I'm an architect too but not a pro like you. I'm very slow in my drawings which drags for long months & sometimes a year.

In India it’s 5 years for Bachelors and additional 2 years for Masters.

heyy, i loved this video it was so informative! could you please make a video on how international students can become architects there in canada? or just any general advice for international students? thank you so much! :)

@DamiLeeArch 3 года назад

Yes definitely! I am planning on doing an interview video with my coworker who moved here from Spain and has been through this process.

@manushipatel7284 Год назад

Hey I had a question Do we need to have a accredited bachelors in architecture to get your architect license? Because in Canada only the masters are accredited. So if you did your bachelors that’s not accredited and your masters that is accredited would you still get to be a licensed architect?

In US you have to wait 6 months to retake an ARE section. They run all the time and all year. 6 months still sucks. I had to do that for my final section (structural-lateral forces).

@DamiLeeArch 3 года назад

In Canada you have to wait 1 year 😅

Architecture related Internships that we perform during Under grad school do that count towards the 3720 internship hours?

@DamiLeeArch 3 года назад

You will need to check with your local jurisdiction but in Canada, those hours don't count. (You can only count the hours AFTER you finish your education) I think before, like a decade ago, you could count those hours but it was more than 3720.

@justrosy5 Год назад

So you self-report the hours? To who, and how do you prove what you did during those hours (and that you didn't just make it up on your spreadsheet)?

@nourafaisal8364 8 месяцев назад

Is architecture a whole specific field? In which I have to perform bachelors and master’s or during masters, I have to pick a specific field of architecture like architectural engineer or technical architecture?

@batoolhasan6197 2 года назад

If I for example get specialized in schematic designing , the license I will get will be for schematic designing only right? Like Can I still become a licensed architect if I get specialized in a specific area in architecture?

I cant imagine im saying this . Ive wanted to be an architect for so long. I ended upndoign finance degree due to my parents. I was 17. I drop out today or rathertake a pause as i finished till i wasnin fourth year. Bt i dont feel ill regret being an architect. Here is to us being amazing architects.

@adamsayash 3 года назад

Hi DamiLee! Thank you so much for the valuable information. I'm an Architect outside Canada but I need to expand my knowledge further more. Do you have any kind of a list of studying material/reading texts through each phase (Bachelor's/Master's degrees and Registration exam) which I could use as a self studying material? If this will be hard to collect, then can you recommend some key materials that any Architect should know as a rule of thump? I already have a self study plan which I am studying after my full time job, and I will be grateful if you can share your experience in studying architecture...

@DamiLeeArch 3 года назад

If you want to learn about the construction process in Canada, tales of the trenches by Bryan palmquest is a good fun read. The CHOP (canadian handbook of architecture) is a good one too.

@wanbaochai1506 3 года назад

Im currently in architectural technology, do you know how I can use that to become an architect? Does architectural technology help me in this situation or no?
