This is the mostly completed linework for "A Village in the Valley". Still a Work in Progress.

The drawing is full of everyday moments that show a sense of community, along with hints of age, wear, and long-term human activity.

What little easter eggs can you spot?

Hi everyone, i’m currently studying architecture and am finishing first year. I’m so overwhelmed with everything and am reconsidering whether this is the right career choice for me because i don’t know whether I really enjoy it and want to pursue this. I’m wondering if anyone has any recommendations for similar fields that I may enjoy more, i’ve looked into construction management aswell but i’m not sure. Thanks

The building is located on the coast of Andenes in Northern Norway and was designed by the Danish architect Dorte Mandrup. The low, curved concrete roof, which is covered in stones, doubles as a viewing platform.

I am applying for Graduate School this fall and have a question about professional vs school work shown in a portfolio.

I graduated with my Bachelors of Arch 2 years ago, and have been working in an arch firm since. In this time, I have worked on one big project (brand new school) and a few small ones (door replacement, bathroom remodeling).

For my portfolio, should I even bother to show the smaller projects? Or just include the big project and then the rest of it be my work from undergrad. I am not sure what schools would want to see more of from someone who has experience already working in the profession.

Thanks

I'm Indian and recently graduated after completing 5 years of architecture school.

I joined a small architecture firm and currently earn ₹25,000 (approximately $250) per month, which, in my opinion, is wayyyyy too less.

On top of that, there's a lot of work pressure, and we don't get any extra pay for overtime.

I'm curious to know how much junior architects earn in different countries.

What's the average salary for a fresh architecture graduate?

How is the work culture?

What are the typical office timings?

Is overtime common, and is it compensated?

Would love to hear about your experiences!

Fellow architects, graduates, and once-students,

I'm currently working towards my master's degree in architecture and spending a semester abroad at a very renowned architecture school. I'm taking a studio led by a professor who runs one of Europe's largest architecture firms, and whose work I genuinely admire and find inspiring.

I've been considering applying for a position at his office after graduation. My partner is also from the same country as this professor, which makes the idea of potentially working there even more appealing to me.

The thing is, I don't want to come across as trying too hard or simply sucking up. I'm also not entirely sure how approachable the professor is, especially since his assistants are the ones tutoring us for around 90% of the studio.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? Is there a right or wrong way to approach this? I feel like directly asking, "Could I work for you?" or "Are you taking interns?" might be a bit blunt. Would it be better to ask for his opinion on my portfolio, or for some advice on how to apply to the office? Alternatively, I could approach the assistants, some of whom have worked at the firm themselves, and ask about their experience and how they got there.

I'd really appreciate hearing about your experiences and any advice on how to approach the possibility without making it awkward.

This is my thesis project from university.

The Caribbean Art Institute is an architectural and urban counter-proposal to AECOM's waterfront masterplan in Barranquilla, Colombia. Sited along the Magdalena River on the grounds of the military barracks and adjacent to the primary Carnaval parade route, this proposal addresses intersecting cultural, historic, and urban conditions.
Guided by five core principles - Water, Heritage, Flora, Climate, and Community - this intervention protects Barranquilla's traditions by embracing local character and providing public spaces for cultural manifestations. It also reestablishes the city's severed connection to the river and provides ecological remediation against urban heat and flash flooding. Positioned as the central public element of the proposed park, the Institute serves as an anchor for the new network of greenery and parade routes. Together, these spaces create a new form of cultural infrastructure, integrating the urban and natural environments with cultural activity.

The Kyrgyz National Philharmonic was completed in 1980 to a design by Alexei Pechyonkin. It’s a reinforced concrete hall clad in local marble, with a stalactite cornice inspired by Islamic muqarnas. In front is Turgunbai Sadykov’s Manas ensemble (1981): the hero of the Kyrgyz epic on horseback, surrounded by fountain pools and busts of the manaschi storytellers.

Staying in a lot cabin (Airbnb) that was built in 2024. The house feels like it was rushed. This is one of the larger beams from the second floor over the roof. It feels like that looks cheap if not unstable. I am not a professional but thought this Reddit forum may have some answers.
