An underrated trick to gaining confidence when you don't have many skills: Become helpful. Help solve other people's problems. Bonus, the process will help you realize your existing skills and gain new ones.

Some photos of

If you want to be a content creator while having a full time job, you need to:
1. Go hard during the week, and have great separation between work, content and personal life. Take weekends off.
2. Work during the weekends.
Do you agree? If so, which one are you?

Practicing architecture in real life can look VERY different from the stuff you learn in architecture school. The biggest difference is the nature of the projects, which impact everything from your workflow, day to day tasks, to your creative output. I've broken it down here:

I always thought it was “Most people overestimate what they can do in a day+underestimate what they can do in a year.” I looked up the origin of the

today and it was “Most people overestimate what they can do in one year+underestimate what they can do in TEN years.”😆

The online education economy is booming, but are there limits to what you can learn online/teach yourself? What are things you need to learn by working under a more experienced person? How long is enough to absorb the knowledge? When are you ready?

If you could put all your efforts into one thing for the next five years, would you focus on:
1. Becoming top 1% in an existing category
2. Creating a new category?
Curious to hear your thoughts.

The field of architecture is very broad, and depending on your skills and interests, you can specialize in different areas of architecture, like:
- Project Management
- Building Science/Sustainability
- Interior Design
- Construction Administration

Real buildings are like a living organism. It takes a whole team of architects and engineers to ensure that the building will function without problems. A big part of your job is to ensure that all the pieces come together to strengthen the overall design intent..

Real projects have hard constraints.
The program is often pre-determined by the client and whether it's a public or private project, it needs to be feasible and promise a good return on investment. Only then, can you can start to take some liberties with your design.

Real projects need to be properly managed and specified, meaning your day-to-day might not include as much design work as you expected. Instead, you may spend time on non-design tasks like:
- coordinating with engineers
- talking to clients or product reps
- admin tasks

Real projects take YEARS to complete.
Because of this stretched out timeline, you may find yourself spending months, maybe years on one phase of a project. This could be anything from schematic design to construction documentation.

In this video, I interviewed Scott Kemp, an Architect who has been working with Indigenous communities for the past 15 years. We talk about designing WITH (not FOR) communities.

Here's part II of my interview with Architect Scott Kemp. In this video, we talk about the architectural education, career, and the profession. As I navigate my own path through this profession, I found his approach refreshing and optimistic.

Do you use GTD method for task management? I love the interface so I've been thinking of switching to Sunsama but it doesn't sort tasks by context.

Wow very cool! I haven’t experimented with AI much but I think it will be a great second brain or third hand of sorts for architects in the near future. Especially for testing out multiple design iterations.

Maybe Venice an exception to the rule because it's kind of like a labyrinth. Maybe it's designed to reveal itself slowly so it never becomes mundane.

I imagine time has something to do with it too. When you're working and living, you're busy doing just that.. when you're on vacation, you're buying yourself dedicated time to explore and find beauty in that place.

Try to focus on the quality of your projects rather than number. Max 50 pages. If you don't have enough projects, architecture competitions are a great way to build it up.

I don't know an architect specific platform! Most of my freelance work was through my professional connections. (my bosses/colleagues, too busy to take on small jobs) Little breadcrumb jobs but some eventually grew into bigger projects. 😊 I'll make a video on this soon.

Personal satisfaction probably has the biggest impact, in terms of enjoying the journey, creating consistently, or putting out high quality content. But I struggle with this a lot! The videos that give me the most personal satisfaction typically do worst with the algorithm 😅

I use Premiere. I have editors that do most of the editing. Only for specific videos, like videos on my personal projects, I do the rough edit (generally laying out the footage on the timeline with music) and the editor takes it from there.

Youtube gives me suggestions on the best times to post based on when my audience is most active, so I follow that. I just trust the almighty algorithm to feed the content to who needs/wants it 😆

I think they're both beautiful buildings. Sadly, the Aqua Tower seems like a thermal bridging nightmare. Initially I thought they'd figured out a clever way to separate the balconies but was surprised to learn that they're all continuous slabs from inside to outside. 😨

If you watch my first videos you will see that I had a lot of issues with vocal fry, uptalk, filler words, etc. not so clean! It helped to keep listening to my own videos, and have a person correct these issues whenever I’m filming. And lots of practice!

Not this time, but I went five years ago, before the restoration. I loved the decaying nature of the building, but from the photos in the article, it looks like it has had a breath of new life, esp. with those new gold leafs! What a treat for the architect who got to restore it.
