For my last thread on my series of topics exploring the intricacies of Architectural practice, I want to talk about my new found love, Architectural journalism. Let us discuss: The Crucial Role of Architectural Journalism: The Impactful Bridge Between Architects and the Public

The comment section of this post is unsuprisingly dissapointing. Nobody is questioning how high the first roof is. Someone even said the high roof adds 'aesthetics' to the building. There is ABSOLUTELY no reason why your roof needs to be this high.

Engineers, which one is better high roofing or hidden roofing and why?

Considering the environmental context, cost and other factors, can we build with rammed earth in Nigeria? If yes, why aren't we doing it already?

Following the news of yet another building demolition exercise in Lagos State, I felt compelled to talk about why you 🫵🏼 should consult a professional before investing in Real Estate. Particularly, THE ROLE OF AN ARCHITECT IN THE REAL ESTATE SECTOR 🧵

@AdoraNwodo You’re shifting the goal post yet again Adora. Growing up, we had a maid at different points, assisting with chores and what not. That never stopped my parents from teaching us how to cook, clean, do laundry, etc Having money shouldn’t make one redundant at home..

These are pictorial explanations of how a courtyard helps ventilation, it’s called the stack effect. The opening above a courtyard helps disperse hot air out of a building because when air enters a building, it adapts the temperature within and hot air rises so 2+2 = 4

Architecture is one of the few occupations where your main hustle can also be your side hustle. You're working in a company and doing your thing on the side..

In conclusion, Architectural drawings are not mere blueprints; they are the lexicon of a visual language. Every line, annotation, and symbol forms a collective narrative, transforming aspirations into tangible, enduring structures. Drop a comment or send a DM if you need

This is just wow 😮🤌🏼 The artistically fixed shading devices reduce heat from the sun, eliminate sun glare and still allow proper ventilation, ensuring proper thermal comfort while also looking very attractive. This is why you hire an Architect 🫵🏼

This a very good example of incorporating SHADING DEVICES for thermal comfort in a building. This can only be done by an ARCHITECT. Another reason why getting an architect before you commence your construction project is a must.

So I decided to take the design a step further, using text-to-image gen AI considering my original concept and it gave me these. I’m looking to build a couple of these but I need your help to decide 😁

I’m starting to really enjoy these AI-generated walkthroughs. These would’ve taken days to generate with the usual design process (with much better quality ofcourse), but were generated within mere minutes.

Engineers are some of the funniest set of people you'd ever meet. You claim that Architects shouldn't head a construction team, yet some of you are out there creating Architectural drawings because 'you were taught in school' What do you want us to do gan gan?

Architects! Let’s talk. How are you surviving this period with the way people price drawings? The demand for professional services seems to have dropped. Most people just want us to do ArchiViz and there can only be so many ArchViz artists out there So how are y’all surviving?

Yet it stands! Give a Nigerian engineer anything more than 1.5m cantilever and you'll get 10 reasons why it won't work (asides from cost)

@domero__ @kizlykay @vangeorgh Are you sure we have any unrealistic design? I think we only have either underpaid or inexperienced or underexposed engineers. Some Nigerian engineers would have given you 1001 reasons why this will never work.

1). Site Plan: At the genesis lies the site plan. It delineates property boundaries, setbacks, land use and landscape design, laying the groundwork for the Architectural narrative. A compass for the entire project.

If you already have a piece of land, the Architect should be your first point of contact. He/She would come up with a building design that would consist of the floor plan(s), sections, elevations, etc
