Hey, I got some questions. Is architecture course involves a lot of complicated calculations or just pure art design? Generally how is the study nature of architecture course?

What do you want to know?

just want to share how u guys do ur work...ur study environment...what software u're using? something like that

we design the building as the prior thing
for the calculation, we learn a little bit and in the real world, all the calculation are done by the structural engineer....anyway, we have some basic in calculation...

what school friend?

well, to summarize in the simplest form, architecture is the marriage between science, arts and social behaviour. there isnt an exact answer to how much is one to the other, coz every individual studying architecture will give u different answer. that's the nature of architecture education.

from my point of view, architecture is 4 parts science, 3 parts arts and 3 parts social behaviour.

the science part includes: building and construction technology, services (piping, lift, circulation, toilets etc), structures (with some basic calculations), and advanced constructions.

arts part includes: visual arts, composition, scale&proportions, aesthetics and stuff like that. it is very common that architecture students to be well trained in sketching and drawing, some even venture into fine arts or visual arts, to the extreme limits of arts.

social behaviour includes: human behaviour, spatial relationships, spatial qualities, comfort etc.



all these are governed by the architect's skills and specialization. the core of architecture: the design, virtually combines multiple skills like drawing, sketching, organizing, cross-referencing, drafting, verbal communications, tabulations etc; most often simultaneously. this made architects as excellent multi-tasker, and female are even better when juggling between being a wife, a mother and an architect.



i'm an architect/lecturer in UTM, and actually the first in my family to ever venture outside the realm of teaching .

thanx for joining in. i really appreciate it. Actually i have 2 i can say superb lecturer from utm. both of them are best.

can't wait to join olympiarh this year at utm.

I'm an architecture student. Just finished all my LAN subjects and gonna start on what I enrolled for soon

What should I expect for my first year? Besides the lack of sleep of course:P

severe grilling under the presentation spotlight.

i have only one advice to all architecture students:

"there is no single absolute answer"



where r u guys studying?
