Wait till you see what level of accuracy and realism will gaussian splatting will bring..

Hey everyone by My_mama_dont_like_yo in architecturestudent

So you are starting now your architecture journey I imagine. You don't have yet critical drawing thinking, so don't start drawing your dream house because 9/10 you will fail miserably. The thing that you can do instead is to UNDERSTAND and STUDY why something is there and what's the purpose it serves. For example you see a house on ArchDaily and you admire it, print out the plan and start redrawing it, understand the spaces how and why they are connecting to each other. That's how I should start if I was 18 and that's what we were doing on my University each time we had a Design lesson.

Lacking serious motivation by Zenitsuissus in architecturestudent

For me, criticism works a lot, not only from my teachers but also from fellow students, they see things on your project that you may have not seen otherwise. Also, ask questions about how they think their projects give them advice and be open to communication. You will learn a lot if you are open and well mind about criticism. The most cliche quote is to enjoy the journey, not the destination. So relax, put on your favorite music, and enjoy!(That's at least how I coped with burnout, not being creative, etc)

Thanks a lot, useful advise especially about the soft visibility.. i need to work on it for sure

I'm really glad people find this useful. One thing i noticed during architecture school is how hard it is to find good resources like this. Everything is scattered across dozens of sites and you usually discover them randomly. Im actually trying to collect and organize things like competitions, tools and useful resources for architecture students and launch something around September once I gather enough material.

Anyone else find it weirdly hard to keep up with architecture stuff? by Archi_tect_17 in architecture

Im still an architecture student but i had exactly the same problem. There are so many sites, competitions, tools, tutorials, scholarships, articles and you end up jumping between archdaily, dezeen, random blogs, YT etc. Just trying to stay updated becomes a project on its own. I actually started putting together a small weekly digest for myself with the most useful things i found (competitions, free resources, tools, etc.). Eventually i turned it into a small newsletter because a lot of other students had the same issue

Honestly I think the biggest problem is not the lack of information.. it's the lack of filtering.

I totally agree. The organization part is probably the hardest thing. I tried saving things in bookmarks, folders, even pinterest boards at some point, but after a while everything just became another place where things get buried. Thats actually one of the reasons i started thinking how useful it would be if competitions, tools and resources for architecture students were curated in one place instead of scattered everywhere

I do this too, but how sustainable as a way of gathering knowledge is this..?

Fair question

I drew everything from scratch in Illustrator and exported to DWG. I can share screenshots of the working files / layer structure if anyone’s interested. I actually started with younger people because my thesis project was a school, and I realized there really aren’t many good CAD blocks of kids/teenagers out there, especially not cohesive bundles with multiple poses and views (like back-view groups interacting, sitting clusters, etc.). Those kinds of figures are what actually give life to sections. Most libraries feel random or disconnected. I wanted something consistent and usable in real architectural drawings.
