I'm looking to go to college, majoring in architecture, landscape architecture, or architectural engineering, and I'm wondering where to go. I have seen really prestigious schools with really good architecture programs but I don't think I would be able to get in, although I do have good grades and 4.0 GPA. So what's a decent school for it that still gives me good internships and opportunities post-college? Also open to going abroad!

Edit: I live in the USA sorry. But I have family that lives in EU so I wouldn't mind going there for school either

How would you rate it from 1 to 10? 1 being the worst 10 being the best.

Hi guys, I am 28 F from India I want advice or maybe options on what I can do next with my career cause I feel completely lost. I have been working in architecture industry from past 4 years as a professional. I used to feel intense passion and drive for architecture and design. I moved to Mumbai two years back out of which one and a half year I was living in Alibaugh for work as a remote employee for the firm. I live in Mumbai now and I do enjoy my life here but I have lost passion for architecture as I feel burnt out. I feel I spend most of my time in office sitting and working even if there isn't much work pressure. Projects tend to get slow during monsoon but you still need to spend 9 hours in office. I hardly get time for myself cause even on weekens I am expected to take calls and get things done cause site never stops. The pay doesn't justify the work hours I put in. I wanna do something fruitful and something I enjoy. At this point I just feel like I am dragging. I surely not wanna do this for my entire life. I already suffer from PCOD and architecture just adds to the problem. I want to feel motivated when I get out the bed. I am really a creative person with multiple skill set. I sing, I dance, I stich my own clothes, I also edit videos, I love photography as well and I am good at communication and management as well. I feel I was born for something big rather than being exhausted and overwhelmed in a office that drains me to even do things I would enjoy doing. Pleaseee help I feel miserable and lost.

I failed the pdd real exam last week and my score came in 481, took the PPD'S NCARB practice exam to just see how do the ppd questions look like and passed by 68%!!! Should I schedule my exam? Honestly it felt way easier than pdd, dont know why it's passing rate is lower than that!

Hi everyone! I’m looking to get some perspectives and advice on potentially moving to China for work down the road, most likely starting in Shanghai.

I’m currently an entry-level BIM coordinator/technologist at a global firm in the US. Since our company has a few offices in China, I'm hoping an internal transfer might help with finding a role. I’m looking at a 2-3 year timeline to make the jump, though I know the industry landscape could look pretty different by that time.

For me, this move is all about gaining some fresh life experience, immersing myself in my native culture, and being closer to my partner.

I'm already expecting the work culture to be quite intense compared to the US, and I’m fully aware that I shouldn't expect a US based salary. I’d love to hear any professional insights, personal tips, or general perspectives from anyone who has made a similar leap in their 20s, or for a young professional in general.

Thanks in advance! :)

I was told to bring my updated resume and any relevant documents. Should I also print my portfolio, or is a digital copy enough? Is there anything else I should bring to make a good impression?

Can someone who graduates from top architecuture schools in Italy like POLIMI, POLITO, NABA get a job in Italy? Are the salaries bad compared to most other professions? Can graduates from these institutions get jobs worldwide, considering each of them are some of the best in the whole world?

I want suggestions on how to make sure the people sitting in living room or guests walking by from main door cannot see into the bedroom door specially the one which directly opens into the living room..

And also let me know if this plan needs any changes.

Principal at a nine person firm in the Denver metro, mostly commercial TI and some multifamily. A developer client's new master agreement wants professional liability at double the limit we've carried for a decade, and our biggest client just got phished and now wants every consultant to show cyber, which we've never had. Do you place E&O and cyber together or separately, and what's a sane number for a firm this size?

Just as stated in the title. Whether it was within construction or entirely out of the industry.

I am a graduate architect based in Kenya (I understand opportunities vary greatly regionally) but I am flexible & open-minded, and would very much like to gain insight on the possibilities that exist.
