Hey guys. I'm newly licensed as of a year and a half ago. It seems like every time I go out and park my car, when I open the car door, rolls of plans just fall out and women start fawning over me like some kind of greek god. I drive a red convertible.

Every time I go to some kind of social gathering I tend to avoid telling people what I do. The minute I mention architecture the panties start dropping. I find phone numbers in every tuck of clothing at the end of the night with no idea on how they got there.

Last week I went a party hosted by a friend. I told his mom I was an architect. She kept asking if I wanted to give her the "Le Corb" treatment or if she could sit on my lap in my Eames Chair. Super embarrassing.

This is a recurring problem. It's gotten so bad I tell women I'm an engineer so they'll stop hitting on me all the time.

Any advice on how to stop attracting so many women as an architect?

I'm trying to ask my building manager if he has the plans or prints of what is behind my bedroom wall? I live in a condo on 4th floor and the framing is metal studs. I want to understand if there are piping, vents, or metal boxes. What ever is behind the wall. It's an outside wall if that's helpful.

What would I be asking for.? Thanks

For my class in college I (asap) need to do informational interview with somebody that is not related to me and who has interested to me career. Since I want to be involved in urban planning in the future, I would love to interview somebody who is already working in this field. So if someone would like to volunteer, I would really appreciate that!

Hello, I've been searching for a program that can convert organic complex / freeform shapes into BIM elements to instantly have construction drawings and not waste time redrawing a 2D for documentation. I don't want to use Rhino. inside Revit nor any script-based software. I recently came across Vectorworks; even though I never used it before but I read that it can do freeform organic forms like Rhino and Blender for example and even convert them to BIM elements. Is that true? Is it that powerful? Because no BIM software can do that, definitely not Revit and I guess Archicad cannot too. If it's true then Vectorworks is a sleeping giant that can do all in one... Share your insights please!

I live in Miami, recently applied to University of Florida, and University of Miami but they didn't answer yet. I did not expect to go to Sci Arc because of the pricey tuition cost plus housing in LA which is very expensive. But now that I have to pay less than half of tuition I don't know what to do. It is still a lot of money, but I really want to go to Sci Arc and if I get accepted into UF or UM I will still have to pay a considerable amount of money. What is your opinion on Sci Arc? I have heard good and bad things, but usually the opinion is based on the cost, so keep in mind I wont have to pay the full tuition. I appreciate anybody's comment. Thank you.

Just some recent stuff I drew at work. Not an art or architecture major by any means, but really love to draw. Had a lot of fun with this so tell me what you think! (pretty amateur ik, need straighter lines or better pencils XD)

Hello,

Looking for recommendations of how-to books for architectural- and interior- perspective drawing. Would like to learn both hand-drawing and digital.

Thanks in advance.

Hello!!

I am an architect based in Brazil and I am looking to find freelance work opportunities on platforms that are friendly to international professionals like myself. I am interested in earning in dollars or euros. Could someone please recommend which platforms are the easiest for architects from Brazil to find such opportunities?

Thank you.

Sorry for the bad photo, but this is an interesting house.

I'm going to delete/stop paying my BIM360/ACC account, but there are a lot of projects there that some clients and other offices are still working on. How can I transfer the ownership of those projects so they don't lose access?

Hello, I will be graduating soon from my university, I've applied to 170 places so far and unfortunately didn't receive an interview invitation yet. I've been wondering If you'd know a place in the UK ,that would be able to hire Part 1 as cad monkey or interested in 3d visuals/software skills or would hire anyone. I have 6 years of experience as 3d artist and very fluent in Rhino, Maya, Autocad, Photoshop. Revit, Sketchup (+vray). and 10+ programs. start feeling desperate about finding a job, kind regards.

HI! I am an architecture student and I was thinking about subscribing to a magazine but not the same kind of "domus" or "casabella". My goal is to expand my personal culture on the "modern" side of things. I have three choice between Detail, Arketipo and AV Proyectos, but and I'm not sure wich is the best for me. Any suggestions?

Anyone have any books on architecture that influenced them? Or favorite authors? Or books where the setting is a big part of the book. Or any books on theory, and history that changed the way you think about architecture. I am an M. Arch student, just finished studio for this semester and ready to re-charge by spending time outside with some good reads.

Hi there,

my mind was wandering on norms in architecture recently (don't ask me why)

​

Anyway.. which norms are rather crucial for safety?

And which norms seem neglectable in comparison?

​

Thanks in advance :)

Trying to understand how metal mesh curtain wall systems are fixed. It’s baffling me

I'm about a quarter of the way through my course and for some reason feeling a little worried about what will come after. I'm seeing a lot of job postings all of a sudden only paying 30k per year which is less than I earned as a carpenter, but then I also see jobs for 80k-90k occasionally.

Did I make a mistake getting into this industry or are there at least decent prospects for future technologists? Are there any architectural technologists in this sub that are loving their career? Would you do it again the same way?

For context I'm in Canada and would be willing to relocate anywhere once the course is finished.

Hello! I had bought a Rotring 0.2 isograph some time ago , and having barely used it, I could not get more than a couple strokes of ink out of it. I figured the ink in it must have clogged it so I cleaned it with water and soap but it still wouldn't work.. I noticed that the thing in it that is supposed to move doesn't move so I pushed it in (dumb decision of mine) and that's probably the reason when I opened it the nib was crooked 😭 anyway I cleaned it and put it in hot water for a couple minutes and it seems to be working a little now but again I can't get more than a few strokes. Is there a way to get it fixed? When I asked my professor she told me to try to put it in hot water again for the whole night, but like, how hot? I'm scared if I put it in boiling water the plastic or the nib will melt, but if I put it in normal hot water won't it get normal temperature after a few minutes ? Can anyone help me on how to get it fixed??! If it is even fixable

Some thoughts about revit? Maybe a little comparision between it and autocad?(both 3d and 2d)
