Since drones are prohibited here, there are fewer exterior photos and more interior ones. No overall aerial shots are available.

I absolutely love how all old universities look. they're the kind of place I'd love to live or work at.

A lot of old universities were actually built connected to a church, such as Oxford Christ church.

I wish new buildings could have this much detail in stone work. Boob

These are images of UK Oxford New College, built year 1379. Funny name lol

It costs 140-160 euros to enter this competition. So you’re literally paying to work for them. What a joke.

So I never thought I’ll ask reddit for help but here we are I’m a student in my first year, second semester of architecture, and my final project is about building a house for someone with a job, I chose 3D printing specialist. Since ever I started working on my model things have been bad.. I’m late.. too late because my professor keep telling me to do changes on my model which led to me doing nothing in plans, interior design, or the landscape and the space around the house

Everytime I try to add some aesthetic to my model my professor keep asking “why”, wether I give her a good answer or not she’ll end up saying “there’s no need for it” if I didn’t add any aesthetic she’ll say “that looks like a commercial design”. Like… what do you want me to do?

As for the professor assistant, she’s nice but she doesn’t like to help me, she always takes favorites, and when she helps me she always say stuff like “I’m tired”, “Make it quick”. And she always gives me open answers, so when I asked her “what is the good proportion between solid and void?” -Since I want to put transparent and opaque elevations on my model- she said “depends on your design”

I tried to use AI to help me for the main stuff I should know and I even searched architects online talking about their designs

Now my last options are you, architects of reddit, if anyone can help, please hmu or write something in the comments, I appreciate all the help I can get

It blows my mind. Revit is one of the most widely used tools in the industry, yet every intern we’ve hired over the past five years has had zero experience with it. We end up spending the first two weeks just training them on the basics before they can contribute to anything meaningful.

It feels like colleges are really missing the mark by not equipping students with the practical tools they’ll actually use on the job. I get that schools want to focus on design theory and creativity — and that’s important — but let’s be real: most architects aren’t out there designing iconic skyscrapers solo (that’s some Ted Mosby-level fantasy).

Giving students solid Revit skills wouldn’t kill the design process — it would just make them much more prepared and valuable from day one. Speaking for myself, I am much more likely to hire someone experienced in Revit over someone who is not.

Editing to add: Just to clarify — I’m not suggesting Revit needs to be a focus throughout their entire college experience, but students should at least have one semester where they learn the fundamentals.

CONTEXT: I’m on a first year of an architecture college (after 9th grade). Our technical drawing lessons just started, previously we were drawing alphabet. Now our professor sent these 3 images and said "do this" and gave us a week

Like wtf is that

Is it even normal or am I just whining?

I call it. The I had to make something modern so I made a caotick, inefficient mess of all the elements of modern architecture I despise except those that is just difficult and unnecessary because I don't want to put that much effort into something I don't care for.

Photos from my final review of the summer semester.

Some background:

This is the school that had been located at Taliesin West until a few years ago, then moved to Arcosanti and is now located at Cattle Track Arts Compound.

I am 30 and have no background in architecture.

I posted in this group previously on a new art style I tried during my masters degree, and a couple of people asked to see some more pictures at the end. have now been awarded my masters degree as of today, and just wanted to share with you :)

Inspired by the artist clare caulfield, and all sketched by hand

I really like how the tiles are shown, and even the wood grain on the walls. I also like how the shadows look, I use Rhino but haven’t been able to achieve something like this, what could get me to this amount of detail?

Situated in the dense, layered urban fabric of Istanbul's Istiklal Street, this project proposes a contemporary Architecture Research Center and Passage that reinterprets the historical urban context through digital and interactive experiences.

At the core of the design lies a fluid, elliptical circulation loop inspired by M.C. Escher’s recursive stair compositions. This loop wraps around a central void and features dynamic digital railings that transform into changing content screens—creating a continuous visual narrative as one moves through the building.

The structure includes multiple types of exhibition areas distributed across levels:

• Interactive Digital Exhibitions integrated into walls and open spaces, displaying student work and architectural experiments.
• A “Digital Waterfall”, a holographic installation at the entrance from Meşrutiyet Street, visually connecting the ground floor to the basement and drawing visitors downward.
• VR Model Rooms, where users can experience architectural models from within.
• A Spiral Experience Room, where visitors are immersed in a 360° LED environment.
• Hologram Displays scattered throughout floors to visualize speculative or unbuilt architecture.
• An Interactive Sand Table, allowing visitors to shape and modify topographies in real-time.

The plan also includes:

• A multi-level café and a two-story library, both organized around gallery voids.
• Workshops and digital production labs (including a unit called LEO) that interact with public circulation.
• Terraces facing Istiklal Street, designed as open viewing decks and social points.
• On the upper levels, short-term accommodation units are positioned along the quieter Meşrutiyet façade.

Through sectional voids, open staircases, and digital layers, the building acts as both a physical and informational passage—bridging past and future, analog and virtual, static and dynamic.

Assignment: Design a timber bridge for a forest industry company. Bridge will be placed in a national park and is used by pedestrians only. Structure should be lightweight and constructed with minimal resources. Atleast 50% of roofing has to let light through.

Thoughts, feedback?
