The Archiswiped Podcast.

Did you know, according to The National Study of Student Engagement of Indiana University, Architecture Students are said to work 2.5hrs more than any other college students. And if You are an Architect or a student of Architecture reading this, you already might have experienced this.

There have been endless stories since the emergence of architecture colleges about the rigorous working conditions, the all-nighters, students and sometimes even professionals have to put in to make ends meet with submissions.

So we have to put in a lot of time and efforts into the process. And Time Management for Architecture Students is a must more than anything.

Discovering Architectural Concepts is one of the Critical Thinking processes involved in any Architectural Design. This Design Thinking process takes different paths depending upon the various personalities and experiences of the designers.

What we Create is based upon what we watch, listen, feel, touch and think. Those past and present experiences we come across while keeping in mind the future.

So How do we come up with Architectural Concepts? And

How Do We Improve the Ability to derive meaningful Architectural Concepts?

Here are 4 steps that can be useful and come in handy while designing an Architectural Structure.

Procrastination is a major problem faced worldwide by everyone. When it comes to Architecture, there's so much work to do that procrastinating becomes inevitable at times.  

Here are 4 steps that have helped me to keep on track whenever I've been procrastinating things. These may help you to figure out why you are actually procrastinating things.  

Finding out a why is the most important thing. When you know the root cause, that is when you can actually work on your habits and create a difference.  All of these things are something that I apply and which helps me succeed in whatever way I can.   

I hope this makes a difference. Let me know in the comments if any of these 4 steps make sense to you.

Do You Market yourself as an Architecture student or an architecture professional?

Did you know they were 90000 COA Registered Architecture firms during the year 2019?

That means there are a lot of architects in the market and this only means that there's gonna be a lot of good quality work and really great stuff out there.

So you might be good at any kind of skill. You might be good at sketching, 3D modelling, drafting or you might also be good at setting the design process. But if you aren't able to make your target audience aware of your existence, then there'll always be dependencies for the word of mouth.

And word of mouth is not a good option for scaling. Word of mouth is pretty much a bonus. Like it's really good if you're getting word of mouth because you are providing a really good quality work but it's just a bonus, not something that you need to rely on forever.

So in this particular podcast, I would be talking about three steps you can use to market yourself socially as an architecture student or a professional or teacher whatever that you are doing in the field of architecture.
