How to design like an architect
Hi, Im Doug Patt and this is How to design like an architect. I thought the best way to talk about design would be to create a dream home for someone, but first, lets talk about the design process. An architect, like any design professional draws on a wellspring of information. How we design is based to some extent on what we know. What we know can be based on the school we went to, the books weve read, the magazines we like to look at, where we grew up, our friends and relatives, the occupations weve held and in general, our life experiences. A professor named Edmund Bacon (actually the father of the actor Kevin Bacon) told me something once that I will never forget. He said, Its in the doing that the idea comes. That is, we must sit and work through something before we can find the best way to solve a problem. Solving a design problem is essentially taking what we know and putting it together with that particular challenge. When an architect sits down to problem solve they frequently sketch. Sketching is one of the best ways to work out the solution to a problem. And I believe that its exactly what Edmund Bacon meant when he said its in the doing that the idea comes. Before we design our dream home I need to give you a little insight into one of my favorite architects. Le Corbusier (October 6, 1887 August 27, 1965) was a Swiss born architect, writer and painter among other things. He was well known as a modern architect and for his theories & approach to architecture …

Hey, I’m a 16 years old up-coming architect. I really try to get noticed, but YouTube-views don’t come just by uploading a video. I would be very happy if YOU would vote this comment up. Thank you!
Some crazy Kelly that is.
awesome
@2011TOMCAT You wish!
In my own personal architectural opinion, you twist the paper too much when you draw
Hey Doug, I know you’ve probably been asked this. But what Pen do you use to sketch?
She was born on a reserve so he puts a tipi on the roof… I feel like that would be more likely to get you a punch in the face from a client than a pay check.

i am 16 ,a girl and i want to be an artcitect…. i thought i was addicted to facebook…now i am addicted to his videos!!!
hi im 14 and im giving a report on architecture, because i want to be in that career. i have one of thes weird looking protractors that you used at the end of this video, and i was woundering to to use it. can you also make a video on how to use the other tools
I love it iam 14 and I want to be a acrhitect
i love your channel…i’m studying Architecture…could you do something about INTERIOR DESIGN AS WELL???? because sometimes Teachers ask us to do that as well…thanks bye
awesome dude you make it very easy i was searching for how to be creative before watching this video but now I’m gonna search for modern and ancient designs.
if you please help me to take admission in B.architecture, there is only one month left in interview for admission and i still don’t have any portfolio or design please suggest me to make a portfolio for admission.
thanks.
and now… you just need an Engineer to make sure that thing doesn’t fall right off the cliff and into the sea
I mean ffs half of the damn house is hanging off the cliff O.O if theres earthquake or a bad storm I can see that thing falling right off…
Hi doug, I want to be an architect real bad but my mom won’t let me…she tells me I should go do Civil engineering..! My question is dumb but can you tell me that IS ARCHITECTURE FUN? DOES IT REQUIRE GOOD IMAGINATION AND DRAWING(I’m most interested about this one coz I have great imagination and drawing)??? Does a Person get good pay for it???
THANKYOU!
hi,
i like your design,i love drowings but i only know to work on google sketch .i know there are many softwares to design but i dont know how to use it.
Very nice solution considering the lot. The “teepee” element adds a nice juxtaposition to the angularity of the house. Very well paced video. With all that stainless, the cost per foot must have been pretty steep! Once again, nice work.
awssomeeeeeee
you think you can do another one but for me?? please!!!
for a 2- story house I am infatuated with the internal spacing similar to those of a 2 story studio/loft apartment. As for materials I love the thick horizontal lines from stained wood, and the coolness of steel and stone. Something equivalent to the robie house. but yeah, how would you design the internal spacing of a loft apartment, yet in size of a regular house?
@freesraf You are studying architecture? Words of advice to you “Change your major to something else” before you ends up eating shit like 99% of architects does !!!!
