Hello , I'm experiencing difficulties learning about Lebbeus Woods and his ideas, because his book are hard to find and insanely expensive . I was wondering if any of you could provide me with any info on any resources I could use to learn more about him? Thank you ! :)

How do you guys manage your time and assignments if you have ADHD especially when you're not excited enough about it

19 F, I dropped CA after 3 attempts in foundation and want to pursue my passion- interior designing (freelance) i was suggested by a few ppl that diploma or an educational degree is not important in interior designing so I'm considering just starting right away with internship for 2 years and then open my own design studio(I'll be 21). I'm currently in bcom second year (bcom is useless imo) so I'm planning on persuing CPA. I'll study till my graduation and then appear for my exam, by taking a bridge course, as soon as i graduate.

I have some doubts which I'd really appreciate you clearing -

1. should I do a diploma for 2 years and then internship for 2 years and then start my own studio?

(Pro- I'll get to experience college/hostel life - I'll get to move out from my toxic house)

(Con- I'll be 24 when I'll be starting my studio if i do diploma, which I think its too late -if it doesn't add any value, which it won't atleast academically, its gonna be money down the drain)

          OR

Should I skip diploma and just go with the internship? The big con is - I won't get to move out from my toxic house (read my prev post) And no college life ( since I was persuing CA, I did not have a clg life and I miss it)

2. Should I persue CPA from miles education or edumont or simandhar institute? The pro of doing it from miles is, since its offline i might get to move out from my house in the name of studies etc.

3. Will i pass CPA? Cuz the fee is pretty high so gotta consider this, i scored 189,151,153 in my foundation attempts in CA so....???

4)If i clear CPA, should I do CPA part time and work on my freelance design studio part time? That way I'll be earning as well as following my passion. But, i don't think in the first few years of CPA (at my age of 21-22, prime time to work on my interior designing) i don't think I'll get to choose part time. WILL I?

5. also wanna expand my studio internationally, I'm from india btw, its a very big goal but I really wanna give it a try and i think if by cpa i get a job abroad that might really help?

6. lastly, any advices? Any suggestions? A lil encouragement? Reality check? Anything? Will be really appreciated 💌

Hi everyone! I’m a 22-year-old woman currently working on my thesis about improving art schools in India by changing their design and curriculum.

In India, students are often encouraged to follow traditional career paths like medicine or engineering, which leaves creative fields like art and design less explored. This is especially true in high school, where students don’t always have the right guidance, spaces, or resources to develop their artistic skills.

For my thesis, I’m focusing on how the design of art schools and new teaching methods can create a better environment for aspiring artists. How can the design of art schools help improve art education? How can we create spaces that inspire creativity, teamwork, and new ideas in young artists? Also, how can we update art education to make it a more respected and practical career choice, rather than just following traditional fields like engineering or medicine?

I’d love to hear your thoughts on how architecture and design can change the future of art education and help more people see art as a serious career choice.

I’m an Industrial Design graduate from India, interning at an architecture firm to transition into Interior Design.

I plan to work here for a year, then pursue a master’s in Europe focused on programs that combine Interior Design with Design Management/project mangement as I want to explore design processes globally.

I also hope to work in the country where I study or in a neighboring European country to gain practical experience.

I’d love advice on:

• Which European countries I should consider for my master’s.
• What types of courses or programs to look for.
• How job opportunities and visa policies vary across Europe.
• How likely it is to secure a job after studying there.

In India, there is low pay for freshers, toxic work culture (idk why it is normalised), limited relevant courses and scholarships of my interest, masters degree not making any difference in pay.

P.S. Would love your guidance—feeling a bit lost!

Hello, I am a first year student who is currently working on something. and I got stuck thinking about how to represent time/distance in a model, without it being too big or getting in the way. I have some ideas, regarding thread or wire, but nothing concise for now. I would appreciate the help

I’m 25, and have been dealing with what I want to do for a career for the past, 10 years it seems like. In high school they always push you into researching careers you would be interested in, for me one of the earliest was architecture.

Even back then, the common statement about architecture is that it’s not a field you should go into for the money. As a young impressionable 15 year old, that, coupled with the the fact that all the schools in the state that I lived in, did not interest me at all, (I was born in CA, and my parents moved shortly after I was born. We moved back about 6 years ago now.) I kinda tossed away the idea of pursuing architecture as a career.

Fast forward to now, I’m 25, recently quit a sales job that I realized I did not want to pursue either, and have enrolled in school and finally passing classes that gave me trouble, and stated my intro to architecture classes this semester, doing more next semester as well.

I am fortunate enough to not worry about a future mortgage. Without going into major details, I will have a house over my head with no debt for pretty much the second half of my life. My goal here is to find a career that I really enjoy and want to do, while making enough money to sustain a pretty normal life. Food, yearly vacation, some frivolous spending money when I get the chance, etc. I am very fortunate to be in this situation, which has also given me a new perspective on my life and what I have the ability to do as a career.

I’m really enjoying my architecture classes. My community college has a program that has many local architects from firms in my area, and seems to be an amazing program. The idea of working in the field has really excited me more than the other fields I tried to study for, engineering, IT, business, and although those were early level classes, none of them actually had me excited for 3-4 more years of work. Architecture does.

So, from my perspective, what do you guys think? I read all the time that people get into the field and are passionate about it but the money kills them, and since money is only a slight factor in my life, how would has the field of architecture served you in your time?

this may not be allowed here but the Minecraft sub's wouldn't be able to answer me with the necessary information.

I'm starting my first truly serious city project after playing around with other large scale cities built around various fictional concepts like cyber and solar punk and now I've committed to building a truly realistic city based primarily on Modern China.

But I have absolutely no idea how actual architecture and design works. I don't have to worry about structural soundness and practicality and natural light in a cyberpunk night city with no day cycle lit entirely with artificial light etc.

So what factors do real architects have to take into consideration when drafting designs for high rise residential buildings as well as any other apartment complexes?

Please note: I already frequently create buildings from reference photos. I want to start creating my own designs and concepts to really make this project my own.

I want to learn more about hassan fathy but can't find them anywhere to read free of cost.

I’m looking to make a career change from architectural project design to lighting design. I have a master’s degree in architecture and about 20 years of experience in the field. I’m always inspired by spaces and buildings with thoughtful and well executed lighting. I’m often working with electrical engineers who are spec’ing lighting and try to guide them to better design but am encouraged to “stay in my lane”. So I’d like to have a better education in lighting and be the consultant who designs it. Any recommendations on coursework, certificate programs, or paths to make that transition?

I'm good at math and physics, and I enjoy studying them, but I'm also very artsy. I love being creative and making aesthetically pleasing things.

Another issue is that many people tell me it's easier to make money in civil engineering, and that architects aren't as important as engineers. Pls help a confused teen out. TIA.

I wanted to know how useful it is in semi arid areas (assuming you have enough wood) compared to mud bricks / adobe.

I tried researching on this sub, but it seems like so many so-called "architects", especially from USA, are super dumb and probably wears sunglasses & a suit while they go to bed at night. For example, this thread legit lost me a few braincells when they said wattle and daub was only rural and not urban, & is only 2 stories high & can't withstand rain or wind 😤

https://www.reddit.com/r/architecture/comments/16c9k6i/thoughts_on_wattle_and_daub/

It's literally used in the rainiest towns of UK, and lasts for 500 years, and can be 6-7 stories high

My question is whether this building technique is viable in areas with low rain and hot climate, vs mud bricks. Which is harder to build/takes longer? Which requires more maintenance? Ect etc

Hello everyone, I would like to share with you a video produced by Coupe file Art on the little-known but very interesting Sainte Thérèse church in Metz. Directed by Roger Henri Expert and Nicolas Untersteller! good viewing

Okay so I just want to get straight to the point.

I'm currently majoring in Civil Engineering at my University in the United States. They don't offer an architecture major and I am too far in to switch at this point without costing myself too much time and money. In addition to my academic background, I would have military experience in the U.S. Air Force, where I worked in construction and general contracting. This hands-on experience has deepened my understanding of building processes and reinforced my interest in pursuing a career in architecture.

I'd like to apologize first and foremost if this is a stupid question but I am struggling to find any reliable information online.

Could I study a Masters of Architecture in the EU without having a BArch? (Is it the same system as the U.S where depending on which school you go to, you can still apply for the masters program?)

info on Russia and the UK would be good too just in case

Thanks

possibly a dumb question, but i wanted to know if its possible ^__^
