Everyone at my office eats lunch at their desks and I started doing the same thing…but today I went out for lunch and came back after my hour and my boss was upset with me saying I couldn’t take a full on lunch break when there’s work to do. I don’t know I rarely leave my desk and I always feel anxious now leaving it for a break.

I'm an architect and attorney who recently started a YT channel about legal issues that create and affect the practice of architecture. It's called "An Architect Goes to Law School," and it's organized by law school class. Classes already posted include Legislation and Regulation, Contracts, and the start to Civil Procedure.

What I'm really hoping for here is to help my fellow architecture professionals as well as students. If you give them a watch please feel free to comment, ask questions, and suggest topics you'd like me to discuss.

In my city Oulu , this has been kind of an inside joke since the late 80s, the graffiti translates to " shit city". They are demolishing the city block, but it has been added into the city (architectural code?) that this white wall is permanently part of the future designs of this area.

Edit: added translation for the graffiti

Hi all users of r/architecture

I've started a new subreddit called r/nowaythatsachurch for churches and other religious buildings that don't really look like what they are.

The idea is that people post pictures of such buildings, so that people can look at chuches that are not for example gothic cathedrals or classicist churches and mosques that don't look like the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

I hope to find others with the same interest, so we can build a nice collection there!

I've posted some examples in the comments, and I hope that many of you will join r/nowaythatsachurch.

The Mods here have allowed my post. Thank you so much.

Big warehouse building in Zlín, Czechia full of goods burned down. It was built in 1955, originally used to store shoes from a famous company Baťa.

Because I'm not there currently I used a photo of the burning building from a news website (https://itvs24.cz/zpravy/zlin/ve-zline-hori-budova-v-arealu-byvaleho-svitu/), I hope that is okay.

There's been a debate for years about whether those buildings should stay or go. A few days ago, news broke that they're set to be demolished, and I feel pretty bad about it. Just wanted to share and get your thoughts.

Context: Long story short, those buildings were built by the previous government in the country, and as the leadership changed about 15 years ago, it represents the previous government state. That's why the new one has always had eyes on those buildings to be removed.

Those buildings stayed basically inactive and nothing happened inside them. Originally, it should have been an art exhibition and theater, but the new government kept it non-functional.

Besides, many local people argued that it just looks out of place in the area, as it's surrounded by old architecture, and such a modern building doesn't have a place in the city center.

Personally i very much like those buildings its modern, sleek amd elevates the whole surroundings. I will be bummed once they demolish it.

Since i'm feeling a bit down, so I wanted to ask what you think about the controversy surrounding those buildings? Do you think they fit the area architecturally? What are your thoughts on their demolition?

Has anyone here attended (or taught for) the ICAA summer studio in NYC? If so, what is it like? What is the primary goal of the program? Are the skills and knowledge taught something that can be learned on one's own or elsewhere, or is there truly something special and reputable about this program? Finally, do architecture and design firms care about the certificate you get at the end?

I am so disappointed. A beautiful piece of history, that empowered american satellite communication and designed by world renouned architect Cesar Pelli is getting torn down for "mixed use" aka probably more houses... this was the COMSAT building.

^{I am sure that I am late to the party but I must voice my concern even if it is too little too late}

Hey everyone, I’m stuck between Industrial Design and Architecture and could really use some honest advice from people who’ve actually been in these fields. I’m not expecting either career to be perfect. I just want to know what it’s really like. A few things I’m curious about: * Are you happy with your salary? * How’s the job market where you live? * Is it hard to find a decent job? * What’s your work-life balance like? * If you could go back in time, would you pick the same career again? Why or why not? I’d especially love to hear from people who have a few years of experience, not just students.

Ever since I was much younger I love designing various buildings and projects In games like bloxburg and the sims, and everyone tells me I should go into architecture. but from what I’ve seen, being an architect is much less focused on just making cool designs, and it’s more focused on working out the technical stability of buildings. but I guess I don’t really know that much about it, could anyone tell me more about what being an architect actually involves, and if it would be worth going into As a career?
