How can you get better at architectural sketching? In this episode, I’m joined by the man, the myth, the legend – face of “Sketch Like an Architect” – David Drazil, to find out just that.
David talks about how you can be a better architect and use sketching to your unique advantage.
This 1:25 SCALED MODEL IS INCREDIBLE! In today’s episode of the Successful Archi Student’s Podcast, final year architecture student Jose Maria Alania explains his process of how he created his scale model of a triplex design.
Create 3D models of terrain, contours and topography using accurate data from Google Earth using Sketchup and Rhino. THE MOST UNDERRATED SITE MODELLING TOOL EVER.
In this Sketchup and Rhino tutorial, you’ll learn how to model a 3D site in less than 60 seconds.
It involves geo-locating a site from Google Earth in Sketchup, and then transferring that model to Rhinoceros 3D to create a NURBS surface 3D model of the chosen site.
This is something I’ve only just discovered after spending 2 hours+ modelling a site from referencing a contour map – and thought – surely there’s a better way to do this.
Sure enough, Sketchup and Rhino have a solution.
I hope you find this helpful!
It’s difficult to stay consistently motivated to do something. Vesal from Karaj, Iran, has been motivated to study architecture for the past 6 years and nothing is stopping her.
On today’s episode of the Successful Archi Student’s Podcast, Vesal and I talk about how you can stay persistently motivated to study architecture, how you can prepare for architecture school and what you should fear before starting.
Vesal shares her experiences and journey with us on episode 22.
Going into your first year of architecture school?
Today I interview Serena Rakha from Lebanon, a student who has recently finished her first semester of architecture school.
On episode 21 of the Successful Archi Student’s Podcast, Serena shares her experiences of what to expect in your first semester of architecture school and what equipment and skills you need to do well.
Serena also shares the names of architecture books she’s found helpful along her journey and has some tips for students struggling to stay motivated.
Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with us Serena.
We all experience it… Some days we’re fired up to study, other days, we are not. The key to overcome that lack of confidence is what I talk about in today’s episode of the architecture podcast.
Along with this question from Khawaja (IG @kh_muhammad_ali), I also answer his other questions about getting into architecture school and how to figure out if it’s the right path to take.
What the heck even is architecture? Art? Science? Engineering? Really, it’s a mix between all three, and many others.
Let’s dig a bit deeper into what it means to be an architect, and find out EVERYTHING you need to know before you get started as an architecture student.
What is the best part about studying architecture? Why should I study to become an architect?
As a sequel to last week’s episode, today I have 7 of my best reasons why you should study architecture to become an architect.
What is the worst part about studying architecture? Well, I’ve got 7 reasons not to study architecture. But, come on. I love architecture as much as the next student. Learn how to overcome these problems to become the best architecture student you can.
Here are 7 reasons why you’ll hate architecture school and 7 ways to overcome it.
On this episode of the Successful Architecture Student’s Podcast, I am honoured to have a chat with UX design professional Andrew MacDonald.
Andrew is on an unconventional journey to becoming an architect by creating a portfolio of his UX design work.
Two Universities have acknowledged his untraditional approach to study his masters and are in favour of this idea.
This will allow him to skip studying the 4-year bachelor degree.
On the show, you will listen to Andrew’s strategy to becoming an architect and it will allow you to open your mind to the various opportunities you have to achieving your goals and dreams.
