[EN/PT/ES] Architecture School - My experience

MY EXPERIENCE GOING TO ARCHITECTURE SCHOOL


[EN] Hi, Hive! 💙 How u been?

I mencioned the fact that I was an architecture student for a while, and I'm here today to share the experience I had there, talk about some classes and answer some questions people would always ask.

My biggest passions, ever since the beginning, were the classes that were art-related and had many assignments that somehow included creativity in a more fluid way. In the first semester, I had Project 101, which was very introductory so we had very simple assignments. This professor was an architect and an artist, so he knew a lot about drawing and painting supplies and would always assign homework with this kind of content. Here are some of my works done durin his classes.

The first drawing is a sketch of my bedroom. The second one is a painting made with crayons and colored pencils.

During the fourth semester, I had Observed Drawing classes, which was by far one of my favorite subjects. The purpouse of it, as you can imagine, was drawing, haha. But the professor started in a slowly way so that people who weren't used to drawing could learn it. By the beginning of his classes he taught was how to make gradient drawings only with graphite pencils. As time went by, he started doing the same exercises but now with colored pencils. This professor was a Graphic Designer and an Artist, so although he taught realistc drawing he would always let and incourage us to add personal style to our creations and exercises.

The first pic is a study to work with graphite pencils and the second pic is a painting made after it.

The same study but now with colored pencils and a painting using the material.

People would always ask me if it were necessary to have drawing skills to go to architecture school and, even though that was only what I told about up until now, I would always say you didn't need the skill, but having it would be a big help.

Studing architecture is definitely not easy at all, specially because of the amount of projects and assignments we have to do. Part of why I left school was because I was being consumed by the crazy routine of attending college and having a full-time job. I also had some personal problems with the management of the University I was attending.

But Architecture changed my perspective in a lot of ways, specially when it comes to the creative process, college taught me that creativy needs research and references, it's not a divine thing like most people think so. Architecture has its own place in my heart and I'll always have a lot of respect for all thoses who choose to persue this career. Sending lots of good energy to the Architects on Hive.

My final work for the Observed Drawing classes. Its reference pic and the painting itself, made using colored pencils.

Hope you liked getting to know I bit more about my experience.
See u next post! XOXO


[PT] Olá, Hive! 💙 Como você está?

Mencionei o fato de ter sido estudante de arquitetura por um tempo, e estou aqui hoje para compartilhar a experiência que tive lá, falar sobre algumas aulas e responder algumas perguntas que as pessoas sempre faziam.

Minhas maiores paixões, desde o início, eram as aulas relacionadas à arte e com muitas tarefas que de alguma forma incluíam a criatividade de uma forma mais fluida. No primeiro semestre tive o Projeto Inicial, que era bem introdutório então tínhamos tarefas bem simples. Esse professor era arquiteto e artista, então sabia muito sobre materiais de desenho e pintura e sempre passava trabalhos de casa com esse tipo de conteúdo. Aqui estão alguns dos meus trabalhos realizados durante suas aulas.
(Imagens de um desenho de um quarto, meu próprio. E a pintura do abacate, que fiz com giz de cera e lápis de cor.)

Durante o quarto semestre tive aulas de Desenho Observatório, que era de longe uma das minhas disciplinas preferidas. O objetivo dela, como vocês podem imaginar, era desenhar, haha. Mas o professor começou aos poucos para que quem não estava acostumado a desenhar pudesse aprender. No início das aulas ele ensinava como fazer desenhos gradientes apenas com lápis de grafite. Com o passar do tempo, começou a fazer os mesmos exercícios, mas agora com lápis de cor. Este professor era Designer Gráfico e Artista, por isso embora ensinasse desenho realista, sempre nos deixava e incentivava a adicionar um estilo pessoal às nossas criações e exercícios.
(Os trabalhos feitos nessa aula são os desenhos em preto e branco, a colher e as pinturas da maçã e laranja.)

As pessoas sempre me perguntavam se era necessário ter habilidades de desenho para cursar arquitetura e, mesmo que isso seja apenas o que eu contei até agora, eu sempre dizia que não era preciso ter habilidade, mas ter seria uma grande ajuda.

Estudar arquitetura definitivamente não é nada fácil, principalmente pela quantidade de projetos e trabalhos que temos que realizar. Parte do motivo pelo qual deixei a faculdade foi porque estava sendo consumida pela rotina maluca de frequentar a faculdade e ter um emprego de tempo integral. Também tive alguns problemas pessoais com a gestão da Universidade que frequentava.

Mas a Arquitetura mudou minha perspectiva de várias maneiras, principalmente no que diz respeito ao processo criativo, a faculdade me ensinou que a criatividade precisa de pesquisa e referências, não é algo divino como a maioria das pessoas pensam. A arquitetura tem um lugar próprio no meu coração e sempre terei muito respeito por todos aqueles que optarem por seguir essa carreira. Enviando muita energia boa para os Arquitetos do Hive.

Espero que tenham gostado de saber um pouco mais sobre minha experiência.
Até a próxima postagem! Beijoss

[ES] Hola, Hive! 💙¿Cómo estás?

Mencioné que fui estudiante de arquitectura por un tiempo y hoy estoy aquí para compartir la experiencia que tuve allí, hablar sobre algunas clases y responder algunas preguntas que la gente siempre hacía.

Mis mayores pasiones, desde el principio, fueron las clases relacionadas con el arte y con muchas tareas que de alguna manera incluyeran la creatividad de una manera más fluida. En el primer semestre tuve el Proyecto Inicial, que era muy introductorio por lo que teníamos tareas muy sencillas. Este profesor era arquitecto y artista, por lo que sabía mucho sobre materiales de dibujo y pintura y siempre asignaba tareas con este tipo de contenidos. Aquí tenéis algunos de mis trabajos realizados durante vuestras clases.
(Imágenes de un dibujo de una habitación, mío. Y el cuadro del aguacate, que hice con crayones y lápices de colores.)

Durante el cuarto semestre tomé clases de Dibujo del Observatorio, que era por lejos una de mis materias favoritas. Su objetivo, como os podéis imaginar, era dibujar, jaja. Pero la profesora empezó poco a poco para que los que no estaban acostumbrados a dibujar pudieran aprender. Al inicio de las clases enseñó a hacer dibujos degradados solo con lápices de grafito. Con el paso del tiempo empezó a hacer los mismos ejercicios, pero ahora con lápices de colores. Este profesor era Diseñador Gráfico y Artista, por lo que aunque enseñaba dibujo realista, siempre nos dejó y nos animó a añadir un estilo personal a nuestras creaciones y ejercicios.
(Los trabajos realizados en esta clase son los dibujos en blanco y negro, la cuchara y los cuadros de manzanas y naranjas.)

La gente siempre me preguntaba si era necesario tener habilidades de dibujo para estudiar arquitectura y, aunque eso es lo que les he dicho hasta ahora, siempre decía que no era necesario tener habilidades, pero tenerlas sería una gran oportunidad. gran ayuda.

Estudiar arquitectura definitivamente no es fácil, sobre todo por la cantidad de proyectos y trabajos que tenemos que realizar. Parte de la razón por la que dejé la universidad fue porque estaba consumida por la loca rutina de asistir a la universidad y tener un trabajo de tiempo completo. También tuve algunos problemas personales con la dirección de la Universidad a la que asistí.

Pero la Arquitectura cambió mi perspectiva en muchos sentidos, sobre todo en lo que respecta al proceso creativo, la universidad me enseñó que la creatividad necesita investigación y referentes, no es algo divino como la mayoría de la gente piensa. La arquitectura tiene su propio lugar en mi corazón y siempre tendré un gran respeto por todos aquellos que eligen seguir esta carrera. Enviando mucha buena energía a Hive Architects.

Espero que hayas disfrutado conociendo un poco más de mi experiencia.
¡Hasta el próximo post! Besos

These are great pieces of work. I think while creativity is very important as an artist, knowing the technical side of making art does make it better.

Hello dear @aplusd

Since onboarding, @emanueledornelas has been making her posts in Portuguese, English and Spanish, but thanks for the warning.

I've been at Hive for 2 years and haven't posted here yet because I only understand the basics of architecture and design.

But I saw that people post about the architecture of cool places they've visited, so I thought I'd start blogging about it here, because I always visit places with unique architecture.

Dear @aplusd

I am a moderator in the HiveBR, SkateHive, Nexo Digital and Block Tunes communities.

Some in the initial community phase.

Don't worry about following rules, @emanueledornelas and I are the ''ideal type'' of content creators, engaged and respectful.

I consulted the two links you sent along with @emanueledornelas before we created your first post in the community.

I am a community builder and in 2024 I will be 100% dedicated to onboarding and growth of Brazilians within our beloved Hive Blockchain.

Whatever you need, if you want. I will be at your disposal when it comes to the Brazilian community. Who knows, I might be able to introduce you to your Brazilian community and designers. So that they can post and participate in their contests.

Well, attitudes are worth more than words. So whenever a Brazilian architect joins Hive, expect to see him posting here from today onwards.

Do you already have a discord server? I couldn't find your server. Well, maybe it's a way to attract more native Hivers to engage with the community.

A hug and count on me.

Hi admired @aplusd

I read the rules of posting on the community before doing so. Just to be sure I wouldn't make any mistakes again, I read it once more after your comment.

Thank you for the heads up. I added the translation to the comments and, hopefully our relation can continue the best way possible.

Thank you for the patience and sorry for any inconvenience.

Welcome to Hive, I'm a newbie too, with hardwork and a bit of patience we newbies will thrive here.🔥🔥🔥

I really love the layout of your intro post, almost makes me want to redo mine.😄

I also admire architects, especially everytime I see a unique building I gap in amazement that a fellow human did this, though I gap in amazement at many things people have done throughout human history and even currently.😌

Thanks for all the support, newbie friend. I'm sure we'll both thrive here! 🔥
I really like adding my personality to my posts and, for me, creating the layout and some sort of visual identity is one of the best parts of blogging.
Seeing different buildings is always a great experience, it makes us travel in wonders inside our minds.
Hope to see you around again!

Greetings @emanueledornelas, knowing how to draw is a great advantage for design and architecture, you can capture your ideas on paper exactly as you imagine them and go adding the appropriate decorative elements to the design, I had the opportunity to attend an exhibition of architecture and I was surprised by the ability of several students to create their beautiful designs.

Have a nice day!
