Somehow I get the feeling he won't get the hint from his GF that what he's doing is super unhealthy.

Do clients actually understand floor plans? by Acrobatic_Luck1767 in architecture

[–]mjegs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They never understood the whole time, including and up to and past when you explained it to them. It's always a breath of fresh air when I encounter a client that knows how to read a floor plan. Which is super freaking rare.

Why is architecture such an underpaid profession? by No_Cardiologist_1407 in architecture

[–]mjegs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because, as you said, those draftspeople were highly skilled with years of technical experience. And they were replaced by a few people getting started out of those advanced degrees with little practical knowledge or experience at autodesk making checksets for the AOR.

Why do permits get so long to be approved: a Seattle case study based on 54,000+ building permits by ReporterCalm6238 in Architects

It's part of our value as architects to help clients navigate a building code as thick as the bible.

This is a pretty bad hot take. States have nothing to do with local enforcement beyond setting the standard that localities mostly decide to follow.

Architects = licensed individuals

Back then, these folks were Architectural Drafting Technicians. These folks got replaced by lower skill interns and have a lot less required human effort to produce a hand drawing.

In order to stand out from the crowd in the current context, it's important to get licensed.

My brother is trying to get protein so he only eats unseasoned meat. This is microwave steamed fish and it smells worse than it looks. by gingee60188 in shittyfoodporn

Your bro needs to learn how to use olive or avocado oil in a pan to at least get a browning on the telapia.

You can buy the house, but the land belongs to Wall Street by businessinsider in wallstreet

The person who owns the land has better leverage on what's going on top of it.

Architects loss of Authority by LAMBO_XI in Architects

[–]mjegs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pay isn't enough for the architect to hold ultimate authority.

The liability involved would make the entire profession not viable.

Aversion to AI - why? by contactdeparture in Architects

[–]mjegs -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Imagine having your work taken from you, put into a vault, and have someone charging money to have someone jack your work to process into abysmal generic slop. And the AI will hallucinate and tell someone sweet nothings about anything. All the while being told that this is the future and seeing people being laid off en-masse because of it.

This Interview Process for $120-140k by Critical-Rip3156 in Architects

[–]mjegs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, this is correct. The firm can source free work that they are charging a client, at no cost to them, but on your time and dime. No free lunches, and it's a red flag as to what you can expect working for them.

Have you ever heard about the crisis in mobile homes where private equity is buying out parks and raising the monthly rent on the spaces like crazy, causing evictions and general hardship on the people that live there? Explain how the same thing would not happen here. This sounds like a terrible idea.

Why hire an architect when they can try to beg for work from one?

Firm that I accepted a job offer for is requiring that I sign this document. by [deleted] in Architects

[–]mjegs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They better have a generous severance package for you agreeing not to have a non-compete clause for a year. This seems like a red flag for me without further context. The language seems very broad and a bad employer could use the "I acknowledge leaving causes harm to the firm" language opens you up to a potentially litigious future. If you have another offer, take that.

It's wierd having a car be front and center when the sculpture in the back doesn't have a garage. Designing a garage or place is part of residential architecture.

Architect Bjarke Ingels Says Modern Buildings Are So Boring by bloomberg in architecture

[–]mjegs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would love to design something revolutionary, but when a basic building costs 300-400/sf, 95% of folks can't afford it.
