A Day in the Life of an Architect | Architecture vlog



Follow a typical day in the life of an architect. Part architecture vlog, part behind-the-scenes look at some of the tasks architects work on each day: from designing a set of elevations to managing projects in construction, to writing specifications, to managing an office, and how to deal with the inevitable creative blocks creatives face on a daily basis.

I intentionally structure my day to be divided between making in the morning and managing in the afternoons, with a mid-day transition break for exercise. Learn why this works for me and follow along as I work through some of the most common struggles an architect faces in daily professional practice.

For aspiring architects, architecture students, and those curious about exactly what it is that architects do each day.

In future vlogs I hope to be able to show more of the construction coordination and dialogue that happens outside of the studio as this is where so many decisions are made.

    Know and tell your family and friends and others that Jesus loves them and that they should repent before it is too late!

    I originally went to school for architecture (although I loved english more) and it was awesome. I loved my studio classes.

    I am an public architecture student from China. It is amazing that if I can live in the house which is designed by myself. It’s really a amazing experience! Thank you for your sharing!

    That is my problem. I don't have the patience to put my thoughts on paper for it to be sketched out. I want to see my thoughts on paper. I feel like the longer I play around with it. The harder it is to actually show something that is exactly what is in my head. Idk if that makes sense. I don't want the idea to go away. I rather keep it in an image in my head then try to attempt to show it. When my vision doesn't come out right is when I start getting frustrated

    Dreaming of being an architect is nice, not until you realized that you suck in drawing and math.

    As stupid as it may sounds, I actually developed an interest in building from the Roblox game Bloxburg. Now I'm fully dedicated to studying architecture
