I love your channel! I'm 44 and in my first year back in school for architecture. I had my son young and postponed my own dreams until he was off in college himself. It still took me a couple years to actually decide to go for it. I've always wanted to be an architect though and the risk of not pursuing my dream finally outweighed the time it is going to take. I have no regrets on my decision and feel like this is definitely the path I'm meant to be on. Thanks for sharing so much about your own journey and business. I find them so inspiring and confirming!

Good stuff guys. From two architects I enjoy listening to. 1) I graduated in 1979 - Starting salary - $10,000. 2) I do architecture because I enjoy it, I never took into consideration salary. I have always told my children "If you are good at what you do, you will make money". 3) Math. I took freshman math and that was the ONLY math I took in 5 years of studying architecture. 4) I don't sketch (wish I did). I can visually see things in my mind, and I then go straight to CAD - 2D plans and elevations. The great thing about sketching is transferring information to the clients. I think I can sketch, but I don't have the patience and when the perspective lines are exactly right, it bothers me. I am hoping to get proficient in SketchUp as that has CAD and Sketching meeting in the middle, as I see it. I do use bubble diagrams, but scale is an issue if I try to draw plans. I do use tracing paper overlays. 5) I know people who became architects when you didn't need a degree. I can tell the difference between those who went to school and those who didn't. Just the process of thinking is different. 6) I tell people architects are spatial problem solvers. 7) I solve problems taking in the big picture first and then work my way down to the details. I do not approach it on a linear path. 8) I tell people architecture is fun and it is like giving a little kid a blank piece of paper and a crayon. 9) It is never too late to pursue a passion. I hope to never stop pursuing something (I'm 64) I tell my kids "I'm going out swinging for the fences), so I understand that if I start a new pursuit at my age, I may never reach the destination, but sometimes the journey is more fun than the destination. 10) I took architectural drafting as a senior in high school and that is when I decided to take architecture. I thought "This could be fun". 11) I also like photography and music (two other creative things) 12) I have had my beard since 1978 - 4th year in college. My kids (34, 32, & 30) have never seen there Dad without one. Like Bob's wife, my wife tells me not to shave my beard off. It could be the "double chin" thing? Without question the best KZitem video I have seen in years. One day it would be nice to meet both of you guys in person. We have a common passion, but we take different paths. Thank you guys for sharing! This is the longest comment I have ever left on a KZitem video.

These years i've been struggling with stress bcos i feel like my major isnt where I belong. i still want to be an architect so every year i intent to apply uni again, but always drop the idea bcos of my family. I always wonder is it still possible for me to be an architect in the future and today i found this video.

My current work forces me to be an architect and designer, and I try my best to bridge the two. But upper management is grilling me to do all kinds of things and become a Swiss army knife of sorts. And I'm constantly being burnt out, with a stagnant salary. Once things look better and the timing is right, I'm planning on starting my own independent firm. Thank you for the great video, Eric.

Mr Borson's "golden" advice is the NUMBER ONE most important thing in a creatives life. Especially in commercial arts when there is a client, budget, and/or a problem. It all is just knowledge until you're asked your reco. Your reco is your soul. That critcal or supportive comment you give is the sum of you and your passion. So speaking and writing your opinion and ideas is super duer important. Most creatives can "create" the work, but few can stand up to a challenge when they need to verbally or in written form, defend or confirm their work. Great channel. I feel like your focus and passion should or could morph or envelop all creatives. I am not an architect, but I am a experiential designer. Your channel has always been a must watch for me. I love the interviews, the workspace stuff, and teh case studies. Cheers!

Its always a learning process, heck im enroled into uni since about 8 months and at the start i didnt know a single thing about architecture i just thought designing buildings would be a cool idea. What i basically want to say is that you should not be scared, just try it.

Great video.. Just to add in about structural engineering, there is so much more to it than calculations. Its the same as someone saying architects just draw lines on paper. The level of detail nd attention required for both professions is vast hence the two have been separated. Architects don't choose to not to do structural calculations they have enough on thier plate to worry about already nd it would prove to be overwhelming. But that's my opinion.

Lefika Rock There's a bit more to it. In many countries, they are separately licensed professions and law dictates their work be completed by different professionals. In the US, common residences don't need an architect or a structural engineer, there exist prescriptive codes for "design." However, once the design takes on the complexity it requires an architect, it very likely needs a structural engineer as well.

Thank you so much for this video. Every time I explain my interest in architecture to people, they like to find flaws in my character as to why architecture is not a career for me. However, they don't see what I do and for a while I was worried that they were right. This video was a boost, for sure. Thank you, again.

As an architecture student, I have noticed that what they learnt during that time is the exact same thing we are learning rn. There is almost no change whatsoever.

Watching your videos always reignites by motivation, desire, and hope that I will become an architect! I wasn’t able to get my bachelors in Architecture but I hope in time I will be able to get my Masters! Thank you for the quality videos, sketches, and words of wisdom and encouragement (too the both of you)!

Thank you so, so much. These simple words may not express all how much I appreciate you for this phenomenal video. This video has just comforted my worrisome heart and encouraged me not to give up but continue to proceed. Felt like I had two great mentors who spoke to me sincerely. Thank you very much for sharing.

59 yr old guy here. Graduated architecture school and could not afford to stay in architecture because of the horrible pay. Became a Gen Contractor and retired a few years ago. Now I’m following my dream and taking the licensing exam. I have found that being able to describe your feelings is great, but having “ a reason” for everything you do is the key.

This is amazing, thank you! I'm 25 and waiting for the entrance exam for architecture in DK. WISH I had the opportunity to study architecture in school. But we don’t have as many choices in schools here.

Grateful for your wisdom through this video. I feel it’s a parallel story of my life experiance mindset ... {IKIGI} - [Art] x [Architect] x [User Interface & Experince] x [Electrical Engineer] x [Handyman] x [Wood] ... My Father always said “Learn everything about everything”. My calling has been a process of continuous learning [Meta skills + Habits] that balance Linear & Lateral problem solutions.

Loved listening to the pair of you in this but I always remember the key thing growing up when I first started thinking about architecture and considered being an architect. That the term architect actually means master builder and yet so many architects beyond making models never get their hands dirty with the bricks and mortar of actually putting a building together. I know so many builders who build homes they never went to college and university to get a degree that declares them to be an architect.

Excellent interview and information. I will use this video as part of my architectural drawing and design class for high school. The math question really is spot on. I get this question all the time and usually I lose out on students who feel my class would be too hard for them. When I get someone interested in architecture and wants to take my pathway, I can direct them to this video to supplement the information I provide.

Started working on becoming at architect last year at 34, go trapped in my 20's drinking and doing the restaurant thing. When I was growing up though I remember watching this old house with my dad sunday afternoons and also the first time I saw Falling Water was on PBS when I was very young, and I wanted to do that. I guess I just forgot that was by first passion.

Greetings to you Eric, I will like to compliment you on your colossal architectutorial work you produce and broadcast via You Tube. I am a freelance student of architecture. Having you as my architectutorial professor I have learned numerous architectural drawings and methodology for the past two to three years and still learning from your great source of architectutorial studies. Thank you so much for such valuable architectutorial information. I remain your architectutorial student____Francis John from Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean.

I loved this! As an aspiring architect in school, I've always wondered if this was the field I wanted to spend my life in. Seeing your videos and drawing connections to my own life and how I look at things has solidified that. Even if I don't end up in residential design like I think I want to, I'll still end up in this field regardless.

Thank you for all these videos. I've been really inspired and interested. I studied architecture when younger, but found my way down a much different path. Now, at my age, the possibility to return to school in a more discipline way arises again, and videos like this help inspire me. I especially appreciated the advice to pursue ones dreams. Thank you for this, and for all the videos you share.
