estimated cost is 3.5 billion Czech crowns(=139 mil. €) and could be opened in 2031. it is supposed to be 144 meters tall which would make it the highest building in Czech Republic, stealing the title from AZ Tower(orange-white building in 1st picture) with a height of 111 meters.

here's a rough translation of the article fromthe architect's website:

"we're working on the design of an ambitious skyscraper project within H-Towers complex. the functional mix includes both short-term and long-term accommodations, offices and retail in three-story horizontal base. on the its roof will be built a park, creating not only a cultivated entrance to the building, but also much-needed cozy place, a green, friendly oasis for the users of the inhospitable Heršpická locality. sustainability and ecology is, of course, a high priority. 

the main principle of the building's spacial philosophy is that the top will not used for closed-off purposes, such as penthouse of 1 owner, but but will instead open to the public with a restaurant or club. rooftop terrace with a swimming pool will be included as well.

we believe that we can design a 144 meter tall landmark that will harmoniously integrate into Brno's overall enviroment, becoming a symbol that its citizens will enjoy and be proud of."

What about engineering roles in an architecture firm?

Greetings from the US! I am an architecture student, studying the Szczecin Philharmonic as a precedent building. I have found plans and sections and some images, but I have to create a model of the structural system of the building. Is there somewhere I could find the construction documents or structure drawings of it? TIA!

Really cool research tower where the timber is self shaped by humidity

Hello, good people of Reddit.

I write with a sincere, not snarky, inquiry, and I believe I have a sense of the reasoning. Why is there not enough legroom, anywhere? I mean at stadiums and theatres and on airplanes, etc. This may be more for developers and the clients of architects. But I figure those interested in design, especially ergonomics, would have a sense. (There are rules and best practices, right?)

Here is the background. I am 5-9, 175 pounds, with a 30 inch inseam. That puts me just about at the “average” height for an American male. My posture is okay. I almost always select an aisle seat at any venue. But even for me, never mind people over 6 feet tall, I feel cramped for the duration of a game or concert or flight. I’m just not comfortable. This is at 90% of venues and on 90% of vessels (except Amtrak trains).

I assume a decision was made in the design process. It must have to do with an extra row at the back. If you were to add an inch, even an inch, then you would lose that row and its associated revenue. So if it were two and a half inches, and correspondingly two rows worth fewer tickets to be sold, the operator of the facility would feel the loss. I also appreciate that for a historic place, people were simply smaller in olden days. If I were 5-4, I would fit fine.

But permit this observation. People have choices about leisure. If I can sprawl on my sofa at home and stream a movie, I am less likely to go out. For a team or performer I really want to see, I am not deterred by the size of the chair and the room available for my legs. But if it is a middling draw, I am betting I am not alone in saying to my wife, let’s avoid the trouble and wait for this to be available to watch from the comfort of home. Perhaps that is why some theatre chains now have those nice recliners. My argument is if you engage in cost benefit analysis, it might work out such that you’d sell out your auditorium more often, by offering that skosh to stretch out.

I welcome insights and comments.

Hello guys! Badly needed your thoughts, im currently (25m) graduated BSarchitecture and currently taking my apprenticeship here in philippines, I grow up in a poor family but however manage to finish my college.

Im planning to take my Board exam at 2027, If i not succeed, my plan B is to enter military to elevate my status and take the benefits for the long run for my family, is it a good choice? They say if you enter military with a degree you’ll become an officer, for me it’s a faster route. Do you think it’s a good idea?

Im also planning taking masters and working abroad, but i’m but my first choice is military. Please enlighten me guys.

Hello i am an architecture graduate and currently doing my apprenticeship.

I am really strugling with conceptualizing. Like I cannot get any idea ON MY OWN. I need to look up to inspo online like archdaily or pinterest to get an idea on how my building should look. I tried so hard to think of a concept that i could be proud of because it came from my imagination.

Kindly help me on how to be good at conceptualizing. How do you get inspo from nature? Or in what form of inspo did you get your concepts from. How can i be good at that as well. Thank you very much

I’ve been listing any codes and standards I may need to know for the LEED GA exam. I was wondering if anyone has any mnemonic devices to memorize these, particularly the ASHRAE ones. Thanks.

I'm in college and heavily considering switching majors. I've always been into designing the outside and in of structures. This may sound silly, but I play bloxburg regularly due to the building setup and how easy it is to have an amazing blueprint and then decorate. I don't want to be overly hopeful just because I like playing a game where you build from the ground up but since this is a big interest of mine and I've since searched for other apps to build on, Architecture won't leave my mind as a possibility. I'm not great at math and financial stability is big to me... Any advice about if this career will be a good match?

Hi there, I'm a current 2nd-year in a B. Arch program. I am studying abroad this summer (which I am so so excited for) through my School of Architecture. While I think this is a great opportunity, I can't help but feel a bit bummed about not being able to pursue internships this summer. Is there anything I could do this year/summer to stand out? I was thinking of anything along the lines of online courses, networking, research, publishing articles, etc, but I would love to hear a professional opinion!

I am doing a bit of research on the Flatiron building in New York by Daniel Burnham and am really interested in finding the core of the drawing/planning process. I have checked my local library and found a good amount of information, but not much about the process of drawings/plans that were created during this phase. Are there any books or original journals out there that have publicized his work or are these original plans and sketches now private to the public? I would appretiate any help or guidence!

Hi thanks for any input- putting together a portfolio for job applications and wondering if keeping the portfolio to approximately 20-25 pages would be a good idea? I assume recruiters/associates dredge through a lot of work and I'm wondering if that amount captures the gist?

I'm interested in both arch and urban design and the way I'm imagining the portfolio is to take my site, and have each section of the portfolio elaborate on each building -plans- sections- models -etc

So it'd be 1 portfolio, 1 site, 5 buildings with different programs and typologies, and a few pages to elaborate on each.

Would that be a compelling format you think?

Thanks for your time folks

Any one been able to complete an architecture related degree online and if so where do you recommend?

My work covers my school costs and is encouraging me to complete a bachelors in anything I want. Im a few credits shy of my associates in architectural technology but will need to transfer to a 4 year school and there’s not a lot of commutable options. I can take my degree in any direction and am not set on any particular path just want to get a piece of paper as quick as possible.

Hello, I teach a virtual design and construction elective class to high schoolers. We're past Sketchup and onto Revit and the students are doing great. I'm an MEP background so this is why I'm here.

My next project for them is to design their own fitness and athletics center. Most of the students are athletes or play a sport (including the young ladies) so I thought it would be fun to break them up into small groups, give them a large poster and print out to scale all the different types of stations and courts. This way they can cut them out and conceptually "lay out" a floor plan, which they will later build in Revit.

What I'd like to do is build a fun Google Slides which can have concepts that architects understand, like flow of people, spaces, colors and lighting, etc. I'd love for maybe some references or books that I can look at this kind of stuff and pick some great things, or even better if any of you would be willing to throw some ideas up for me.

Doesn't have to be super complicated, just something to get their creative minds flowing for considering when designing a space. Even the boring stuff like bathrooms, locker rooms, code required or ADA stuff so they can keep that in mind when designing.

Thanks in advance!
