By having taken all the necessary steps by taking courses you have mentioned in the comment, I must say it is really a very good start. I must tell you that Architecture is no bed of roses. If you really want to be the best in this field then you will have to strive hard for it.
It requires absolute concentration and dedication towards your work. This is how you will learn. Unlike other fields, Architecture is not a profession where you would have to memorize stuff and then forget it after a couple of days. Its a practical and very dynamic field. You get to do things that are real. A Structure that you design on paper is actually transformed into a real structure on earth. What could be possibly more fascinating than this?
If you think you possess these skills, then I assure you that you will never NOT like being an Architect! Best of Luck for your future! Hello Mark, If you are interested in becoming a designer you can consider Interior designing too. Its a great field and has a lot of scope. It also satisfies your condition of not being as expensive as Architecture is. Do give it a thought. Your creativity enhancement will take place once you begin with the course.
It is a gradual development, so you need not worry about it. As far as Mathematical knowledge is concerned, if you have done well in your high school and have a good grasping capacity, then Architectural Mathematics will not pose any problem for you.
There are a few subjects in Architecture to improve your knowledge on Structural Engineering calculations for designing the structure. So, in this case, you will have to deal with formulas and mathematical calculations for designing structures but to a minimal extent. That would be a great course for you although it would be limited to designing interiors in detail.
It does not involve too much of Mathematics like B. You will easily get through the course without any hassle and you would still be a designer. There are many Universities in India and abroad that offer this course. As you have been studying it for quite a while, I was wondering how much free time you actually get?
Hello TJS, Free time is something that would be rare to find while studying architecture. It does involve a lot of struggle. No profession is a bed of roses. It is up to you how well you can take it and how serious you are about getting into the course. If you are thinking about earning a lot of money out of a career out of architecture you are doing it for the wrong resion.
They do what they do because they love it and know why they love it, as a side benefit they can earn a lot of money. If you love something you can with stand any amount of set backs. I got accepted into architecture school about 5 days ago!! I am both nervous and excited…. Is it manageable? Also, I am a decent drawer, but not an excellent one. My talents lie in material arts and photography… will I be okay? I just hope you have considered that. Apart from Math subjects, you will have a couple of theory subjects and a major design subject.
Get yourself ready to work hard. That is the only way you can successfully pass the course. Best of luck for your future! Hey … um indu jst cmplt 12th …. Hello Indu, You can definitely go for higher studies to any country you wish after having completed B. My son is awaiting his 10th CBSE board exam. He wants to opt for a career in Architecture. Is he right in his decision?
Will he be secured monetarily? If he is really interested in Architecture and happens to show his talent then he will definitely get loads of opportunities.
Especially in a country like India, you should just not worry about the scope in Construction Industry… The scope is always going to be there. In a population of crores, your son will definitely get a few hundreds of projects in his lifetime.
I suggest that you should let him do what he really loves. Only then will he be the best. I like to study architecture. What are the subjects I want to study. I am week I. Hello Tomin, Since you are weak in Maths, Physics and Chemistry; you should reconsider your decision of taking up Architecture. I think it would be a good choice for you. I am 16 yrs old. FOr now you should focus on your college studies if you wish to get admission in a good reputed college.
After you are done with your 12th standard, we shall discuss further steps to be taken to achieve your goal. I am writing a book for architecture students. I shall let you know once the book is ready. That will answer most of your questions.
Give it a thought. I am gud in drawing and i m also creative man i do drawing from my school day and i like it very much and i hve done cources like elementry and all… I hve just given my 12th exam bt i cant cleared it Can i do architecture or interior disigning. Hello Aman, Architecture is a very creative field. It involves lot of drawings and Math. You need to be really good at Math if you want to pass the course of Architecture.
I suggest that you should consider going for Interior Design. It is a lighter course plus it does not involve much of Mathematics. You will still be able to explore the creative side of yourself. Hello Aditi, Architecture does require you to be exceptionally hard working and creative at all times. To be able to successfully pass the course of architecture, you need to be hard working, creative and passionate about design. And if you are ready for all this, only then should you be thinking of joining Architecture.
As im reading ur blog here, i feel confused whether this course is suitable for me or not.. If you are interested in the design field, you could consider going for Interior design or Computer animation. These are interesting fields too. Interior design does not involve much of Math and is not as expensive as the course of Architecture is.
Hello Benzulk, Read all your post… Interesting and since your answering every Qs. I got 1more! My Qs. The field for it would be: — aerospace:-designing field. I like architect the same way I do for aerospace since my childhood. Maybe you could help. Us you no more about the outside and about art….
Sorry for the long info. In advance, if could really help me out this situation… Much appreciate it. I m lukin 4frwd towards Architecture as i want to do something different n intresting.. I m nt afraid from working hard bt would i get a decent job?? Hello Neha, If you are really good at what you are doing then you will definitely find a decent job with a decent salary.
Focus on being the best, money will follow. Hello Shikha, You should good at two major subjects namely Math and Drawing. Thats all you need to be a good Architect.
Pelease Pray for me and tell all of your friend and family and all friend to pray cause i need. If you really have a strong desire to win, you will.
Here are some of the good institutions for Architecture in India: J. My only concern is that do you think it is a good idea for me to go into interior designing with little talent on drawing?!
But I am a commerce student and recently finished 12th. As well I am a little bit good in maths as I have studied in 10th. So please suggest me that what should i do before going for architect. And is there any scope for an architecture??. And how many years will it take. Hello Rubina, Please refer to the comments in the article… Comment 1 Comment 2. Hi, Benzulk. Hello, It is good to know that you are working hard on the subjects that are difficult for you.
After you are done with the course, you would not need much of Math to be a successful Architect. Focus more on the design subjects at the Architecture school.
Hello, I am very passionate about architecture. And have decided to take up architecture. So, in the current market prospect of India which is the best option in M. Hello Tejas, You could go for March in Advanced construction. I am sure that will be useful. I guess you are yet to pursue Architecture. Let me tell you that while you are studying Architecture at college, you will get to deal with various subjects.
You do not know yet what you would get interested in. So, I sincerely feel that you must wait for the right time to come that is when you would be completely aware of your right and wrong choices. Why do you want to change your stream?
Hello Benzulk I am 23 years old. I have just graduated with civil construction engineering bachelor degree in Vietnam with the highest score in my school.
I know I am so carzy about architecture. I want to study architecture in USA. The problem is the course needs 7 years to get a legally license to work as an architect. This is really so long, when I get it, I will be 30 years old to star a career without experiences. You can help me find the course which offers the shortest time to study. I am so confused about my future. Waiting for your replay every seconds pasts.
Hello Ngo Tan Trung, The course is genuinely long. But I see that you have already done your graduation in Civil construction which means you are already a Civil Engineer. I have a better choice for you. I think that would be an awesome option for you. You will finish your masters degree in maximum of 2 years.
This will enable you to work in better structural firms anywhere abroad. As far as Architecture goes, if you want to do a shorter course in Architecture, many universities offer courses in Architectural technology or design. But you will not get a license to work as an Architect. You can become a designer. So, I sincerely feel that you should pursue Structural Engineering in a good reputed university. This will put your career on the fast track. I wish you all the best for your career. Try to have a broader perspective towards how life could be.
Well Hritu, the question is not about taking risks. You take risk if you are not sure whether you will like it in the long run or not. When it comes to choosing your profession, you have to be completely aware of what you would want from it.
Choosing a profession is a personal choice and not always based on how much money you would make. If you really love your job, then you will always be happy and try and find ways you could make the best of your God gifted skill. So, think for yourselves, what do you really want to be in life? Do you really want to see yourself as an Architect? Would you be happy pursuing Architecture? Does designing buildings, surroundings give you a sense of happiness? Hello Zaki, Architecture course does include some Civil engineering subjects that involve mathematical calculations.
You will have a lot theory subjects too.. I must make it clear that Architecture is a field that requires tremendous amount of hard work and dedication. It is no FUN field. Generally, students make a mistake while choosing Architecture. They have a huge misconception that this field does not require hard work and then are unable to clear the subjects. This fills their heart with frustration and hatred for the profession. If you are ready to work hard and are creative enough, you should definitely consider taking up Architecture.
And if you are more interested in the technical part of designing structures, then you should for Civil Engineering. There are different options in Architecture. Since, you want to be an interior designer, you should consider taking up B. Hello, i read all the comments above and i liked you..
And I have passed my Nata exam.. More than counting on the eligibility, I think you should count as to how much interest you possess in the field. I have got marks in Aieee B. And m ST category,, will i get any govt college with that marks? Hello, I have no idea about the marks requirement for people belonging to ST category. It would be better if you could go to the college you want to take admission into and inquire about the entry requirements for the course.
I will not deny the fact that it requires lot of dedication and hard work. If you are willing give your best to be the best, then nothing should pose a problem to you.
And about the scope for Architecture, it has tremendous scope in a country like India. Let me give you an example. Maybe, this might help you convince your family. Population in India is continuously growing. This creates a need for housing. One thing is to be understood that no matter what kind of recession goes on, construction industry will not loose momentum.
Its simple to understood. People require a shelter to live in. That is never going to change. You are going to be designer who designs shelters for the people to live in. Need for housing gives rise to different types of houses depending on the economic condition of the people. That would include lowcost housing, vernacular design, lavish villas for the rich etc… Its an exciting field. Loads and loads of opportunities will come. It all depends on how you take them. You are the one who is going to live it.
And choosing the right profession is the first step towards successful living. And about the course being expensive. It does involve a lot of expenses since you have to spend a lot of money in taking printouts and making a presentable portfolio.
So, you need to have the skill of money management which I am sure you will learn gradually. Apart from creativity, Architecture teaches us two important skills namely time management and money management.
Finally, all i would like to say is take decisions wisely without being influenced by anyone. If some person has had a bad experience in Architecture does not mean that there is no scope in the field. To be the best, you need to show the world that you are indeed the best. Hello Vasavi, You will surely make it up. The best thing is that you have made an effort and have gone through the works of an Architect.
So I guess you are quite aware of what your job is going to be like as an Architect. Your motivation and passion will lead you towards true success. All the best of Luck! And do keep visiting the site. Let us know if we can assist you in any way. Is it better than a B. How to know whether one is suited for pursuing barch?? I am 25 years and i love architecture like crazy! Thank you:. I love architecture field soo much. So is it good for me if I do it from there? Im a 12th year science student who is truly smitten by the charms of architecture and design.
I already have basic knowledge on how to design structures and floor plans. My love for art and drawing is immense. And sketching and creativity is what im good at since childhood.
But at as im a science student im asked to take up engg just because it has a good pay. So I wanted to know if I could make it big and earn equally well if I take architecture as my profession.
Please do tell me the pros and cons of the job opportunities of this field. I saw some in a blog say they could major both, and some say they could major in B. Is this possible? Iam confused abt archtecture.. Wheather i shoulf take pcmb pcb aur pcm… And when is nata exam conducted.
And which subjects does it hav and how many marks do i need to qualify….. And finally wich subjcts are thr in architecture.. Im 15 and i have always had great grades thus far about a 3. I really have always wanted to be an architect and design houses. By the time i would graduate would architecture still be a good option for a long term career?
If so what classes should i continue to take in high school? I did do gcse textiles and achieved a grade A so I do have some skills.. Someone is saying its impossible for me to study an art based subject which has put me down but hope it is possible for me to do it.. I just need some advice please? Thank you! Why would you want to join Architecture unless you have an extreme passion towards the subject?
If you join University, you will have to begin with a foundation course in Architecture. GCSE textiles is far different from what is required in Architecture. But ofcourse if you are a creative person and are passionate about design, you will be able to achieve your aim in the field of construction too.
My primary goal is to become an architect in the US. Obviously, I have the burning passion and the creativity which makes me ideal to pursue architecture as a career. Will I ever reach that goal or choose another career?
Hello Manas, Mathematics is essential in Architecture. Architecture is a combination of technical engineering subjects, theortical subjects as well as design subjects. You have to be good at Maths, drawing and have a good grasping capacity. You have around 14 subjects per year. NATA would be a good choice since it is applicable all over India. Some Universities and colleges have their own exams plus you are required to give NATA in order to qualify with Council of Architecture.
Hello Benju di, Currently m doin my 12th! Result still to b announced! Plz suggest me wat shuld i opt for.. Thank u! Hello Jinesh, It is always good to do a job and then opt for Masters. Doing a job gives you lot of exposure to the technicalities involved in design. Practical experience of designing and then executing the same on site is very important. You would have a variety of options while considering M. So, you should very well be aware of which specific subject in Architecture would you want to specialize in and this is only possible after having gained practical experience.
Is sketching so important to be a good architect??? Thanks for your advice! Hello, My daughter has just completed her O levels and started her A levels. She wants to study Architecture in the future and is in a dilemma about what subjects to opt for before her study for Architecture. She has taken up Maths, Physics, Chemistry and still in the phase of deciding for a fourth subject.
Which sub she should opt for, economics, sociology or Art and design. Art and design is not offered by her college. Can you just suggest what should she do? Please respond ASAP. It was at the end of high school that I started thinking about studying Architecture after having really good grades on my Architectural drawing courses.
Mainly it was management and technology. It has been 7 years since I finished high school and I am facing all this and deep in my heart I still feel like Architecture is what I should study.
My question is, Is it worth it fighting for studying Architecture this long?? Will I be successful or will it be a waste of time and energy again if I try to study Architecture with the language I have learned in less than 2 years.
Last but not least, how is the work condition, is it promising because after all I need to at least get what i worked hard for and feel safe. Oh gash I am so sorry it became so long but you have no idea how it would help me to get an advice on this. I am a first year student in architecture from Algeria, I want to study in the UK and want to know how and how much does it cost to study in the UK and my e-mail is : domino hotmail.
My name is Arcy, and I currently live in India. I have been interested in Architecture and Interior Designing ever since I was in 2nd grade and still do! I hope that you can answer some of questions! Is this true? Thank you very much for reading this! But i have some doubts about the jobs and stuff.
I have been offered another course in my college by my principle and i am in a dilemma as to whether to drop and pursue architecture or stick with engineering. My main concern is the future jobs! Please help! Hi, My son is very interested in persuing architecture for his future career. He is 16 yrs old and this year sitting for GEC O level. He is excellent in maths and physics.
He is learning scetch-up in his own time and preparing art folio. Is there any foundation programme for BA. Hope you could help me. Hello, You will have to begin with taking up Math and Physics at your A levels, then join a University with professional accreditation.
Only then will you be able to become a qualified Architect. If you want to pursue architecture, you need to have Math as your main subject in 12th and preferably you should be from the science stream or atleast from the commerce field. A on October 19, - am. Hi BenzulK, can i ask some question. Im 18year old, i already finish my 12year in school but im not in science stream im from art stream its that a problem for me to take a architecture couse?
Hello Kennex, The experience with architecture field is different for different people. It all depends how much passion you have for the subject. For me, architecture has been an amazing experience. Being able to transform the drawings on paper into a real structure on ground amazes me. We are the creators of beautiful buildings and spaces that people live in.
As far as scope is concerned, people are always going to need new homes to live in. That is not going to change. With increasing population of the world, the scope for construction industry also increases. It is up to you as to how you make the best of what you get! Gd day ma! You have been doin great job tenkx 4 ur surpot.

It also depends on the country you live in.
The scope for construction is on the rise. Everyone is aiming at city extensions, new city designs since our population is booming. Take up a field which you think best suits you and you will be happy working all your life. It is a decision of a lifetime.
Do not get swayed by what others have to say. Decide on your own. Do a little bit of background study of the current developments in the construction industry.
That will probably help you decide. You should join one of those. Sketching is not the only important thing to be a good Architect. It is just a part of it. You will gradually get a hang of it. I am glad that you are creative and good in Math.
The rest you will learn. At this age, we tend to be insincere but once we are determined to do our best, we automatically strive towards it. Sometimes not being able to focus is also because of the company you are in. Maybe your friends are not very interested in studying and you get carried with them.
This is pretty common. Initial years in Architecture are very important. Only bookish knowledge acquired in colleges in not important. Follow two simple rules: Make a diary Learn or read two new things everyday and write them down I am sure this is no big deal. Everyone can do this But believe me… at the end of your academic year, you will be way ahead of everyone else in your batch.
On weekends, practice sketching. Make 5 sketches minimum. You can also practice one minute sketching — Put a timer and roughly sketch 10 different small things you see around. It could include a pencil, pen, eraser, laptop, jug, book …. We used to have this in college. There is no such thing as having too much knowledge as an architect.
Each new project is a window for inquiry into new technology, theories of organization, or methods of construction. To articulate this information in your building designs, you need to very quickly understand expert knowledge on the specific technique that you wish to include in order to collaborate with corresponding professionals.
As maestros of the orchestra that is the whole construction team, architects become specialists at everything. For every individual, there will be a set of buildings that they simply find beautiful. This gives rise to lively and stimulating debate amongst architecture professionals which also extends to written discourse. Mental health issues plague architecture schools for many reasons that cannot be determined very clearly.
But causes of stress will always linger, in any situation, in any job, and in any discipline. Going to architecture school takes you through a very in-depth journey of introspection, understanding your needs, and figuring out how you can be successful on your own terms.
Architects are able to do what they love for the rest of their life. Assuming that what you love is Architecture, there seems to be no barrier to continuing to do what you love past the age of retirement. Most spectacularly, Oscar Niemeyer still dabbled in the occasional project right up to his death ten days before his th birthday.
In the workplace, architects largely interact with clients from the upper reaches of society. With the many general myths and legends that surround architecture outside of the actual profession there is a certain reverence attached to architects, and you may be able to take advantage of this to impress other people while still having the opportunity to do something that you are interested in.
Modern Architecture, as we know it today, emerged from a period of social upheaval in the 20th century. You meet lots of people and learn to experience the world from their eyes.
Most students with unusual or innovative ideas find it difficult to adjust to school and college environments. But when you are a student of architecture, you are encouraged to look at a problem from different angles and come up with unique solutions. This in itself is one good reason to choose this course. When you are a freshman in an architecture school, the amount of work graduating students do seems intimidating. But with time, you learn to handle it all within the given deadline.
You constantly test your limits and achieve more than you think is possible. Architecture course offers you transferable skills and a taste of several other related fields, such as engineering, graphic designing, fine art, or perhaps, computer programming. This is a rigorous course where you need to acquire several skills and learn the basics of several inter-related fields.
This provides you an amazing opportunity to explore what you really want to do. This is an ideal course for those who want to work hard and party hard. You get to travel the friend, befriend a cool group of people, stay up all night, and test your limits at the daily level. Besides good payment, architecture is one field with high job satisfaction. The course of architecture is good for personal growth. You become well-rounded, dynamic, smart, and strong.
