Hello everyone! This blog, “Things to Know Before Going with Architecture”, is for students who are either about to start an architecture course or have just started one. Here, I will explain some words and concepts that you will need to understand in the course. Do not worry, I will not say anything that demotivates you. This will allow you to connect with architecture in a new way and make the curriculum more engaging. Your future is brighter as you enter a world where design has no limits.

You should be aware of these things before you enter the field of architecture. They will not only help you understand the academic side of the profession, but they will also inspire you and ignite your motivation.

Long Lecture #studios

You will no longer be able to sit for a 30-40 minute period. Instead, you’ll have to spend 6-8 hours attending studio lectures. This is why it’s not called a classroom. The studios will be our workspace, where we must sit and think, imagine and come up with different ideas for designing unique spaces. You are now surrounded by walls and crammed into these studios. Although the long studio hours can be a challenge at times, they are full of valuable lessons. This knowledge is only available in the studio.

You can enjoy the music while you design by wearing headphones around your neck.

The Redo

Redoing architecture is normal. This is a great way to design something unique and improve it. Don’t hesitate. The “redo” is always the topic of conversation in design discussions. Experimenting and accepting this again and again will help you to learn. Don’t worry about it too much. You will have to redo several things in your first year at college or school. You will soon understand the need for a second attempt. We may not be born architects, but we can still learn through the process. These redos are a part of that process. Do not be discouraged if you receive one or more.

Theoretical vs Practical Subjects

We never had to balance the two subjects in school. But in college, we must find the right balance, or we’ll be in serious trouble throughout the entire architecture course. We tend to think that theory is not as important. But I urge you to avoid making this silly mistake. Both are equally important, and they deserve the same amount of attention. The theory subjects are the first step. Missing this step could cost you.

Design Is Everywhere

It is about bringing ideas into reality and creating unique spaces and designs. It is for this reason that I believe architecture is more than just buildings. It is a vast field of study, far beyond our imagination. Just imagine how your imagination can become a reality.

There were fewer resources in the past to find inspiration and ideas, but now we have an abundance of options to create a unique design. You will find the inspiration you need by exploring different platforms and walking around.

This group or gang

Each course requires a relationship and bond. We are not here just to come up with new ideas or designs. Students of architecture need friends who will be there for them through the sleepless nights and days without a bath. You will meet these types of friends, but you may also find other distractions. I recommend that you stay as far away from them as possible (without going into details).

Everyone in this community is on the same team, regardless of whether they are senior citizens, juniors or classmates. Everyone is restless and confused. You can still ask for help. It’s beautiful. From seniors to students, we delved into these relationships and became lifelong buddies to mentor and guide us in different situations. We are here to help everyone, even if this course is not for everyone.

Failure is not a failure if you communicate well.

Communication is an important skill in architecture. You will be able to create new possibilities and learn about different things. You will gain a lot of knowledge through your communication skills. Don’t be afraid to speak with people in the field.

It is not easy to study architecture. You will have to learn how to deal with many different things. This course will also test your level of patience and stress. Accept failures with an open heart, because they contain the seeds for future success.

The Quit Attitude – “Bas or nhi Kar sakta?”

This course will certainly test your patience. You will often think of quitting and saying, “Bas ab or Nhi”. Do you believe this will be the answer? Is this the limit of your patience? In the first two to three months, most students feel this way. I advise you not to give up or shatter yourself. After a few semesters, you will start to enjoy the course. You will laugh at those days after you have conquered them.

A Great Future, “Always happy”?

You will not be able to get a job in architecture because it is a staggered industry. This degree will not bring you easy returns. You are wrong if you expect that the hard work you put in after college will result in a higher income. You must burn yourself out every day and come up with new ideas for your clients. You can earn a lot of money if you do this. Otherwise, you will have to make do with whatever you have.

If you don’t lose motivation, you will discover your potential. These five years will help you improve. You can choose from a wide range of architecture options.

Conclusion

Don’t overthink it. Just do what you love. Never overthink anything. Visit this website for any architecture-related information. This course will provide you with all the information required to study it. We are here for you.
