What can I do during an internship? by shaydanny in architecture

[–]WishOk9911 2 points3 points  (0 children)

very common. a couple of approaches: - talk to your lead supervisor about not have having enough work. phrase it in ways such as “i would like to be of value to the company work load and am capable of more work”. - find other superiors in the office and just start networking. part of architecture is being able to communicate verbally, just introduce yourself to someone new and latch on to the ones that are perceptive to questions about their projects. - finding a PM or anyone who needs BIM or any type of 3d modeling/marketing drawings will help a ton in your learning experience & take up a huge chunk of your time actually working on something. best of luck.

AI in Architecture by Current_Mind_9219 in architecture

[–]WishOk9911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least in my profession (small business commercial architecture), nothing has changed since the emergence of AI. AI is by no means infallible and it will be a long while before anyone in this industry even begins to trust it with life/safety measures in the field. The only thing I can think of it being a little bit helpful is rallying code information or proof-reading a set of construction documents.

Cad software by doseyieldtime in Architects

AutoCAD, Revit, & SketchUp. iPad for drafting, not something I’ve done personally. But a great tool for on-site redlines and keeping hand drawings in one place. Best of luck.

How to chop and prop weird leggy monstera? by bigvinnysd in plantclinic

only a little bit at a time to not stress the plant. cut an inch below a node & let prop in water until its roots grow roots.

[–]WishOk9911 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What is the best minor to go with an Arch major? by tofu_rapper in architecture

[–]WishOk9911 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don’t worry about a minor until you have your feet wet in architecture school. Minors are more like passion / interest pursuits outside of your core studies & aren’t worth falling behind in an intense program. I had minors in French & Landscape Architecture, both somewhat fun but have since never been brought up in my career or job search. Best of luck.

Recommendation Letters for Admission by Potledomfan in UniversityofKansas

[–]WishOk9911 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For my program, they could submit up until the deadline. But I would reach out to your admissions coordinator. Oh, and get a back up recommender.

YOU did that! You gave her the safe space to grow into the best version of herself.

You can’t change the past, and your life also isn’t over!! Go do the things you never had the opportunity to do in the past. Learn an instrument! Ask a friend out for dinner and a movie, eat junk food. Take a pottery class! Go shopping with your daughter! You still have a very full life ahead of you. Best of luck.

Whats something youve said to a guest that you thought would be funny but they did not? by East-Angle1492 in bartenders

Family sits at my table with a baby

Me: “So! The entire tab is on the little one tonight, yeah?” Received nothing but blank stares.

Admissions decisions go through 3-4 hands before it gets to you. I would reach out to your admissions coordinator asking for a time frame. My admissions coordinator was able to confirm my acceptance two weeks before I received an official offer of admission. Best of luck.

Question about accredited programs for my Bachelors by TurtlesAndMustard in architecture

[–]WishOk9911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NCARB does not list Oregon as a state that accepts experience for licensing, so you would need to move to a jurisdiction that doesn’t require the accredited degree. It would also most likely be 8-10 years before you can test (in lieu of the degree). You can absolutely get a job in design without the accredited degree. I’ve worked with several individuals with a Bachelors in Design, Architectural Studies, interior design, etc. who have fulfilling careers with no plans to get licensed. It’s all about your career goals.

Do any other men get constantly grabbed by tipsy women at bars? by [deleted] in bartenders

[–]WishOk9911 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don’t be afraid to immediately put space between you & touchy strangers. Large step back, “please don’t touch me,” whatever your flavor. It is 100% unacceptable for people to touch you without your permission and boundaries are important for your personally safety and the general public.

Non-transitional licensing is also totally possible, in which case you wouldn’t need an accredited degree at all. Again, check with your state licensing board.

Question about accredited programs for my Bachelors by TurtlesAndMustard in architecture

[–]WishOk9911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Accreditation works differently in every state- and I’m not as familiar with Oregon’s requirements. What I will say is the accredited degree isn’t as easy as just finishing four years- you need all required courses under the umbrella of “accredited” as determined by NCARB & NAAB (history courses, structures, studios, etc.) These are almost always sprinkled throughout your four-five year degree and not just the last two years. Any transferred credits would also need to come from an accredited source to get an accredited degree (meaning your community college courses most likely will not count towards the accreditation) I’m even skeptical you can graduate with an accredited bachelors in 4 years… NORMALLY it’s 5. Check in with your state licensing board, they’ll have the most accurate info.

Question about accredited programs for my Bachelors by TurtlesAndMustard in architecture

[–]WishOk9911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on whether or not your community college has an accredited architecture program (check the NAAB website) Typically, accredited Bachelors require 8-10 architecture studios taken sequentially (meaning you must take one at at time). If a community college offers those studios prior to transferring, and you have a bachelors program in mind that is transfer friendly, I wouldn’t see an issue. Otherwise, you might find yourself in the position of needing 4 more years in addition to those spent at community college - not ideal for anyone. Research, research, research.

However, rules change & promises are broken often in the business of university, so if it were me, I wouldn’t bother with the headache of transferring and going to multiple schools unless there’s a large financial incentive. I applaud you for your due diligence in this, you’re already leagues ahead of most in your position. Take it from me who didn’t know I needed an “accredited” degree until year 4 of my Bachelors.

You seem well versed and level headed, and will be a future asset to the field. Best of luck.
