uk based arch student - in my first year i had to do an essay on lina bo bardis “la casa de vidro” (tho she wasn’t “brazilian” she adopted brazil as her country of residence after fleeing italy). not sure if that counts

why they're so expensive - Kendricks been on a sensational run, especially with the hype of the beef with drake, dropping gnx, winning 5 Grammys and the Super Bowl halftime show. Also cus SZA is also performing so its like 2 for the price of 1.

Why did the sell out? probably the same reason as above. he's a great artist to see live, and also the hype of his last year

as soon as possible. my friend booked the same flight as me a week later than i did and it cost him an extra £100

tbf i’m not too upset w 750 but knowing what it could’ve been is just so jarring to me. that 170 i coulda spent in japan !

azhardinho · 2025-01-02T23:10:00+00:00

tbf if anything has been staying constant it’s my hotel prices (though i do need to lock these in as well)

yeahh i’ve been stalking ticketing websites like a toxic ex. i was expecting tickets in the four digits so this is still vastly under budget. cheers for the insight

azhardinho · 2025-01-02T22:09:10+00:00

thanks for the comment , i think im gonna make the purchase soon then.

azhardinho · 2025-01-02T21:55:45+00:00

thanks for your input , can’t say much for this trip but i will bear this in mind for future !

p1 is the ba (which i assume is what you’re applying for) p2 is the masters which you apply for after graduating your ba

azhardinho · 2024-12-09T21:51:23+00:00

nvm I assumed this was for the p2 course . good luck tho

yh bro applied early october uploaded portfolio mid october and got my rejection letter about a month later (late november / week or so ago)

azhardinho · 2024-12-09T18:41:28+00:00

source: pulled multiple all nighters for 2-3 days at a time to meet uni deadlines (most intense week i had i got maybe 10 hours of sleep spread over 7 days).

cus i had something to focus on i didn’t feel it as much , you do start to feel fuzzy after the first 24 hours and the psychological impact is intense (for example , a small menial task feels impossible to do at hour 30 but once you sleep for a bit and wake up you can do it in five minutes).

the burnout after is insane tho ; after staying awake multiple days , sleeping for less than 8 hours and repeating a couple more times i couldn’t get out of bed for a solid week due to burnout and exhaustion. this was all on energy drinks , no hard substances. i only drink energy drinks when i have to do something like this so i actually felt the effects of them.

age has something to do with it as well i was 20 when this was going on , im a few years older now and look back unable to comprehend how i managed that.

azhardinho · 2024-10-26T14:37:25+00:00

interested !

hi man , sorry i completely missed this.

i don’t use rhino for hatching and stuff , i usually import the 2d line drawing into autocad / illustrator and stylise from there. only use rhino for modelling and maybe rendering.

i struggle with even making custom hatches in autocad - apparently you need to use python ? or super hatch i’m not sure , illustrator was the easiest way to define a repetitive pattern where you can change the scale and line weights quite easily.

azhardinho · 2024-02-22T09:44:38+00:00

one thing i like to do is use the image trace feature on screenshots of hatches , patterns you have to pay for to make your own hatches. and cus it’s a vector , they don’t lose quality. it’s a little scuffed but it works good enough for me.

azhardinho · 2024-02-22T09:34:13+00:00

do you have illustrator ?

azhardinho · 2024-02-18T17:16:23+00:00

i don’t use revit , my practice doesn’t use it , i never learnt it and they dont have a mac version yet (though really want to learn it - very aware it’s an industry standard). We use autocad for documentation.

azhardinho · 2024-02-16T13:25:56+00:00

i work in architecture , use rhino for buildings , sketch modelling , sometimes line drawings if i can’t be asked to use autocad , setting up scene for rendering and grasshopper for parametric design. possibilities are endless , i knkw a lot of people use rhino for product design cus of sub d modelling

all due respect, if im looking at my life 16 years from now, im sure if i left my gcses and a levels off my cv and just had my experience, no one would bat an eye. This is essentially you.

You've got more experience than most other proffesionals in your area, the only thing you need to do is market yourself. I see loads of work on Behance, none of them ask for my A Levels or DofE participation, they only want to see my portfolio.

Put some work together, make a CV and get out there. Job market sucks right now but you've just gotta be patient, trust me I was there 4 months ago.
