I'm sure this sounds cringey or spammy, but I just started this page on the "Skool" platform to try and share what I've learned as a sole proprietor business owner since 2018. I've been doing everything from remodels to new builds, residential & commercial, and I've experimented with various types of Marketing & Business Systems. It's all free, I'm just hoping to get some feedback, and if it gains traction then I will continue to add content.

Hi guys, can you help me identify this wood column (pillar) name? And is it possible to create this in rhino? Thanks

Hello, I'm looking for advice on an M.Arch application as a non-B.Arch applicant.

I'm a current third year Economics major at UofT and deciding whether or not to make a switch into architecture. I've gone through my degree intending to go to law school, but just want to fully weigh up my options before committing time and money to a specific path.

I've been involved in creative projects for many years, analog photography projects, small concrete sculpture works, silversmithing, dabbled in a glass-blowing project. Although, I'm not sure if I can compile this into a succinct portfolio.

My question is, does anyone know how much emphasis is placed on the portfolio for non-background students? If anyone has any general advice to help me decide/share anything of note I would be so so grateful! :):)

hi everyone, i am a student and we have a proj on showing the joinery of a prefabricated building like a two stage joint and on my end i dont know what software to use and the process like if i use revit how am i going to make it show? should i just make a groove and label it as the joinery? i found some joinery family but i dont think it counts tho cuz its not for cement walls, can anyone give me tips.....this is really my last option right now, cant find anything about it used in revit

also please ignore the mess, it's stained, not dirty. I was wondering if there's a specific name for this little window in my front door or if the people who used to own it just made some interesting (but not unwelcome) design choices. not sure if this is the right place to ask, but at least it's a good start?

As the post touches on, we are a real estate development company (multi family and industrial/commercial)…we have an in-house architectural technologist that creates our architectural drawings and renderings with revit and enscape, however, we want a resource/solution to easily make them more realistic and usable for marketing initiatives (signage, websites, social, etc).

Hoping to find guidance on freelancers, AI opportunities, other softwares…or other ideas I’m not thinking of? We can export into whatever file format that’s required.

We are not looking to train our technologist to create better renderings, as their time is better utilized on coordinating drawings, etc.

Thanks!

Helloo I have been searching for the past days on this system in italian and english aswell, but no info on how you dimension this system. It is a more advanced version of trombe wall. I need to know how much m2 of this system is needed for x m2 surface area. Same goes with thermosyphons. Even some books my professor has given us doesn't have detailed info and he also isn't suggesting where can I find it. Thank you in advance!

Hello, I noticed a lot of hot buildings in the uk being stupidly hot and stupidly cold in the winter in houses especially. The summer is the worst we need air conditioning or some cooling system. Is it the mass bs that it is a cold country even though the summer is stupidly hot quite often even at 20 degrees is it because of humidity or money?. maybe the problem might be our cliched thinking about temperature in this country because we can ever seem to make our buildings a comfortable temperature ironically public buildings are stupidly hot in the winter aswell as the summer it is bonkers!.

Hopefully you see what I mean.

This semester our proffessor is tasking us with using a black and white representation scheme with the use of a single “accent” color to emphasize the defining element of our projects. Our studio theme was repetition, so the accent color would be assigned to the repetitive elements of our projects. I really like this theme and have a general idea of I want to do. However, could anyone point me to some of their favorite precedent examples worth taking a look at of drawings and models that use a BLK/WHT or monochromatic scheme accented by an accent color? I'd love to see and learn from how other people have executed their work with similar representation styles.

A friend of mine had this doubt and I'm dazzled and not finding any answer. Is there any practical reason for going diagonal with the chimneys? Just to reach the highest outermost wall (since the ones more to the middle of the building seem to go straight up)? Or is there any relation to air, moisture, rain, or anything else?

Hey guys, sorry if this is not the best reddit for this question, please direct me elsewhere if needed.

I watched "Choose or Die" on Netflix last night and was really intrigues with these big towers that are on top of some of the apartment buildings. What are they, why do some buildings have them and not others? I understand the need for facilities spaces and so on but why do a few of the buildings need such large ones.

I've grown up in the middle of nowhere so don't worry about stating something that would be obvious to someone with experience living in a big apartment building, thanks!

Brutalism is personally one of my favorite styles. It makes me genuinely happy to see such buildings. I get in some sort of dream like state being in brutalist spaces. Ofcourse it never would want a whole city filled with brutalism, that indeed would be depressing.

What is exactly the reason some people love brutalism while others find it soulless and depressing? What is exactly going on in the brain or in life experiences that people react differently to it?

What does MBA after architecture look like? Any architects here who have walked the MBA route?

What buildings throughout history have had an impact on current architectural design but aren't usually mentioned in mainstream conversation?

I’m an architect with a masters degree, been working for a few years. However, I’m quite interested in exploring other sides of our industry. I was wondering if anyone here is a BIM engineer? And if so, what does your daily routine look like? Is your software mostly revit based? How did you get into this role and how does it pay?

I’m a second year student and for our final jury we’ve been allowed 3-4 panels (each one is 4ft wide and 8ft tall) for our presentation. I’m unsure what paper sizes would be best? I know it depends on the project but I really want it to be as few pages as possible because it would be easiest to divide the content by the four boards and not into 8-12 different arch-D sheets. I also don’t want to use too big of a page because then printing cost will be detrimental if I have to reprint a page that prints incorrectly. Any guidance?
