Have you studied at all in the UK as I have a few friends from Nigeria and there course structure is very different. What experience in the UK do you have?

You are welcome bro, what are you thinking of doing, keep an eye on all colleges even if its far some places have architecture in A-level which is amazing good luck let em know if you need anything.

@@TheArchitecturalInsider I'm doing physics, computer science and art & design for my a levels! I'm supposed to be starting next year in sept :)

Hey! Thanks for sharing your experience-it’s totally normal to feel down about this, especially when group projects don’t go as planned. A lot of people face similar challenges with teamwork in university, so you’re definitely not alone. One thing that might really help is to check the grading criteria in detail. Knowing exactly what’s expected can help you focus on the areas that’ll earn you the most marks. Not everyone does this, but it can make a huge difference! I’d also recommend speaking to your teacher about your goal for a first-class grade. Let them know, and ask for specific advice on what you need to improve. Make a checklist based on their guidance, so you have a clear path forward. Also, it might help to look at precedent Medal projects on the RIBA website. Studying successful projects can give you ideas on what makes them effective, so you can apply similar techniques in your own work. And don’t worry-individual projects often go better because you have full control over the quality. Good luck with the rest of the course, and keep pushing forward-you’ve got this! 😊

@ thanks for the advice and moral support👍, I think the problem is my inexperience in architecture studies, I've studied degrees in interior design & architectural technologist and entered into 3rd directly. So I've missed the 1st and 2nd year training from formal arch course. I do feel I require extra guidance but My tutors don't really understand/care. They have a very stubborn attitude and get upset/defensive if I ask more questions. I pay the full fees from my own savings without any help so it's frustrating to see the teaching being so miserly and doesn't give supportive morale. Just like design changes & improves, teaching must also change for the better.

@@Sy2023hk Yeah i agree, the teachers can be the worst and make the whole experience really bad even through uni should be exciting and creating crazy projects. If you need any help or want me to provide feedback on projects etc, my contact information is on my video description. See ya.

@@TheArchitecturalInsidergreat, just sent you an email👍

Yeah sure, email me and lets chat

yeah that is true i used sketchup and escape

Hi, give a email and we can sort something out. My email is on the description :)

Hi, apologies for the delay. Definitely not a silly question, you need to get a site plan and then print it that way. for the UK there is Digimaps. You can however just screenshot a google earth view and print it too.

@@TheArchitecturalInsider yess site plan and site analysis! So I can take a screenshot from google maps, adjust the scale in Cad and then print it and work from that? (I also searched on youtube on how to adjust the scale on CAD) i live in south korea .. also Thank you so much for your reply god bless yoy

Yeah basically that would work, ask your tutors if they have any websites for this they may be able to help. Also look at other developments in the area maybe they have a map you can use? @@deenanabilseddik

Thank you so much bro for wasting your time on my very bad video. Make sure you watch more of my videos to waste more of your time :)

Ay ay ay i should have done that too i got bad grades as my Dutch went down hill fast by that time lol. Hope you are enjoying your studies!

@@TheArchitecturalInsider it was the best choice I ever made. It was my only A* in alevels... I did lose my confidence in Dutch during uni a bit just because of disuse. But I had to reactivate it when I took a Dutch speaking job in customer account management (sounds fancy, but wasn't). I'm glad I speak it more again now. I did a law degree after high school but during that degree, especially in my third year when I did a placement module, I decided that I wouldn't be able to do it as a job in practise. Learning it was fascinating, but I don't see myself as the right person for a career in it. So I've spent years trying to figure out where to aim my life instead. Anything that interests me enough to maybe have a fulfilling career in requires reeducation in a different degree though. Recently I started sketching buildings and structures. I used to make floor plans for fun when I was younger (or when I was bored). It suddenly reminded me about how much I love architecture. And actually made me realise how many different ways I've enjoyed it without really realising that was what I was doing! So I started researching architecture as a field recently to see if I could pursue it. I'm 26 and I've already used student finance for a degree, so it's not easy to find a start! It's a shame there is no way to test myself if I would be suited to do it as a job, because it would be awful to struggle for minimum 7 years of financial hardship and stress to then find out I don't have what it takes for the day to day of that job. Crazily enough, that still isn't putting me off - it's just making me want to find more ways to test myself in this capacity. I'm starting a free online beginners course tomorrow to see if that gives me a further sense. So if you know of, or can recommend any other ways I can try it out, I'd appreciate that! Studying at uni is ridiculously expensive especially without loans so I won't be able to make that decision lightly (or soon for that matter, I'll probably have to dedicate myself to saving for some years first if I do go this route). It's comforting in a way though, that if I could successfully become an architect it would also mean my previous degree wasn't a total waste because I focused largely on property law. Even that placement I organised in my third year was in a property development company. Even though I was working with the in-house solicitor, I got to see a lot of the architects' work, sit in on meetings with clients, and go on site visits. Everything I did there was related to property, construction, zoning, SDLT, etc. One of my tasks was to organise the various documents into correct project folders so I got to go through all of the docs from all departments relevant to making the plans in addition to the contracts and legal docs. It would be great if that all proved useful in the end!

@@lhans1368 First of all I want to thank you for taking the time to actually write a long message :) As much as I want to tell you to do architecture i also dont, money is crap and very long years. If you liked the law degree and architecture side that is a good place to develop i think personally. It will allow you to enjoy architecture and nothing is stopping you to do your own design because architecture does have a lot of boring stuff too which is with any job anyway. The law side of architecture gets paid a lot as well, and the masters of architecture is even more expensive, and to be honest there is not alot of jobs for architecture as it is in the UK, not sure where you are atm as well.

@@TheArchitecturalInsider thank you for the advice. I'm not chasing any particular job for money. I've already learned long ago that happiness and fulfilment are far more important than a flashy wage or job title. I am sorry if my message was far too long! It's a bit of a habit for me 😅 I might look into the law side of it instead then. Perhaps it will still open opportunities in the future. I bought a bunch of Francis Ching's architecture books (older editions to keep them affordable) so I can try to self study and figure out where to begin from there. I really appreciate the time you took to read and reply to my question. And I am still in the UK, yes. A uni nearby actually offers a level 7 architecture apprenticeship, but of course you still need the undergrad degree first! I'll find my way.

@@lhans1368 Yh i understand the money aspect but tbh with 7 years of studying you must love the crap out of your job to not care abot a crap paying job lol. But i agreew ith the law side of architecture. If you look at Daniel Libeskind he was a musician and only started architecture in hi slate 40's so never say never lol. Hope you enjoy your future careers if you need any help of have questions just email me :)

Hi, Thank you for watching my video. I personally would advice against maths and human life studies, I would focus on art, dt, and possibly graphics design. You need to get use to design software, being able draw and be creative. Maths and human life studies will not do that for you. Thank you.

@@TheArchitecturalInsider Thank you brother!!

I'm glad you found it useful :)
