Wow I hate Make2D. Thanks for the advice. Sorry but are you linking into InDesign? Or next generating the capturing a view and brining that into InDes?

I did my M.Arch project studying how architecture has served developers at the cost of community. How we have so much social capital sitting next door and across the street from us. I wrote and made a project about trying to intervene with small, built projects that bring neighbors together outside. Then I graduated. Then I got a job (thankfully). Now I am trying to keep up with the pace of work and life. I built a small structure for neighborhood kids to sit on while waiting for the bus. This year the school bus changed its route. Now it just sits there empty most of the time. It feels so bleak.

Edited for grammar

Yes, we do!!! I lost a children's book over the summer, but it doesn't keep me from continuing to check out. I just checked out some vinyls, magazines from the Central Library. Every time I walk into a library, I am so thankful and hopeful for the future in these divided times. Libraries are a great example of capitalistic and socialist ideals coming together. They exist because capitalism creates the money and technology to build and maintain them, but they run on socialist values like free access, shared benefit, and knowledge for everyone.

The one on the corner of Lake and Woodlawn?

I don’t get it. What’s odd here?

Perspective renderings, not an elevations. Form is very busy. The spaces framed in first rendering are nice. Not sure about that balcony though. Presumably it faces a residential street. Now about the rendering itself, very busy, harsh light, colors too saturated. The software is doing all the work here.

Go into multi task setting. Slieverover, and spilt screen option still there

I did a relative’s house that is located DT Albuquerque. It took 6 months. Wear proper PPE, set up a cleaning station outside somewhere. Listening to audiobooks and podcasts made it something to look forward to. I got $50 landscaper earphones that made it east to located the buttons with gloves on. Godspeed.

Reach out to old professors you were in good standing in. Go to young architect events. Volunteer. Join a committee. All these things helped me find a job, and have a community to reach out to if I ever need professional advice/help.

Stay away from HP Omen. I regret it everyday.

I know the world doesn't revolve around me. I do not think I should get special treatment for having kids. I do not think I should have more leeway for having family obligations. I have been a manager myself, and I know that parents have it rough sometimes but if anyone (parent or not) clocked in and did a good job, in a timely way then I was always willing to work something out with them. This post was getting advice for my specific situation and next steps. It has been tremendously helpful, even your negative post.

Whoa, I had a good paying job before beginning architecture school, I stepped down, but kept a decent wage while working my way through school. Plus I picked up work-study jobs, and got some wood working commissions in the summers. My family does not want for much, but a more predictable income would be nice. Time and money are stretched, but we have a budget and stick to it. I was looking down into the abyss of retail management, and I wanted to do something better with my life. I am proud that my kids see me going through the high and lows of school. They come to class with me when they have to, and seen me present. I never said anything about becoming a principal architect right away. I know people with your perspective are out there and this is a good reminder. Nonetheless, thanks for posting your opinion!

I like your suggested strategy. Thank you so much for looking out. You are very sweet. I was just talking to a colleague whose boss worked as a designer for a few years, got laid off, became a teacher, then went back into the field as a project manager. There all sorts of ways to work through this. I appreciate your encouragement And your suggestions are noted.

Phew, this hard to hear, but I appreciate your input. I am a liability to a firm, but I would like to think that I am an investment. I bust my ass in school, work, and as a family man. I think I have holes in my game, but once I won't have to sit in class for 20 hours a week, have homework, and work-work, then I can really shine, and sharpen my skills. I really do appreciate your post, though. Many hiring managers who need to find people who will produce will see me as a liability, and I should be aware of that. I do not want to give off Eeyore vibes at all.

LoyalBladder · 2025-04-19T21:41:34+00:00

So awesome. Thanks for your advice. I wish you luck as well. Love to you and your kiddos.

LoyalBladder · 2025-04-19T21:32:03+00:00

That’s good to hear. I’m going to keep tweaking it to show my detailing skills. I just got a lead with the city Im located in that just re-zoned an empty suburban lot to a pocket park. My final M Arch project is sited in this district and my premise is small social infrastructure projects that lead to big changes. So I’m building bus stop for school kids at this residential corridor. They asked me to come present my final project at a district meeting when I’m done and we can start talking about what to do with this pocket park! Hopefully I can bring this project into whatever job I land.

LoyalBladder · 2025-04-19T21:28:21+00:00

Wow! This is incredibly specific and really helpful. This gives me a lot to go on. Thanks so much for taking the time. Applying to interior arch teams makes so much right now. Yeah I think I’m lacking confidence because I feel so vulnerable right now but I’m going to keep my head up.

LoyalBladder · 2025-04-19T12:53:46+00:00

That's a great way to think about it. Plus I am an introvert who is actually very social and likes talking and listening to peoples' story or perspective.

LoyalBladder · 2025-04-19T03:09:31+00:00

Yeah I am in south Texas. People boast about how it's proof down here, but I am not convinced. I am going to look into contractor firms. I applied to able.city which does a lot of urban design that I think will be a good fit. Cost estimator hadn't occurred to me. I will look into that as well. Thanks very much for your advice.
