I know this project is probably posted here a few times a year, but I just wanted to share the detail photos I took!

This former Nazi anti-aircraft bunker in Hamburg was converted into a hip hotel with a rooftop garden. The brutalist wartime fortress, which was deemed too massive to demolish, is now called the Reverb by Hard Rock Hamburg, a hotel with restaurants and a public rooftop park built above its 3.5-meter-thick concrete walls. The renovation, plus adding the extra five floors and the garden, cost €100 million. Before/after photos.

I’m sure this is one of those projects that gets posted a ton, but hey. Here we are.

I don't know what style it's categorized under but in my opinion it is Modernist/Brutalist

This is St. Paul the Apostle Church, located on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, NYC and right next door to Fordham University's Lincoln Center campus. A choir I sing in got invited to Carnegie Hall but we rehearsed in Pope Auditorium at Fordham University Lincoln Center. This church was next door and later in the day after rehearsal I went here to see the interior.

I was thinking about how architecture shapes our emotions in subtle ways.

Have you ever walked into (or even looked at) a building that left you feeling unsettled because of its proportions, lighting, symmetry, scale, materials, or atmosphere?

I'd love to hear what building it was and what you think created that feeling. I'm fascinated by how architecture can communicate emotion without saying a word.

Clarification:
With this question I'm thinking less about the architect's intent and more about the visitor's experience. Have you ever walked into a place that just felt... off... even if you couldn't point to a specific design flaw?

These are all oil paintings of NYC architecture I've done over a couple years, one of my favorite subjects to explore in my art.

The corner I was standing on for each piece's perspective:

1. Madison & East 30th

2. Broadway & Rector

3. Willoughby & St. Nicholas Print

4. Suydam & Wyckoff

5. Kent & North 7th Print

i have an architecture degree that I got 10 years back and never used. I am sahm and an artist who sell art occasionally but nothing that makes me good enough side income. I want to be employable but I don’t feel confident about going back to architecture as I feel like I have forgotten a lot. What are my options? Should I go back to school and get a masters in architecture? or something less intensive like urban planning? I am open to pursuing any creative field but just don’t know where to begin and have been feeling lost. I came here to see if there is someone like me who got back after a long career gap and what and how did you do it?

As stated by the title and it doesn´t need to be free but if it´s free, I see no problem. I´m in despair and looking for something that will teach me practical profession knowledge. Maybe an integrated studio workshop as it applies theory to practice?

It can be also about urbanism

I’ve been a fan of architecture for the past few years, but I don’t have any formal knowledge or training in it. I’ve always loved drawing measured houses with scales and rulers because I enjoy precision and perfectly straight lines.

Recently, I started working on my first-ever Gothic castle architectural sketch. It’s still a work in progress, with a lot left to do, and I’m drawing it by looking at a reference picture rather than from imagination.

I’m a CS major, so I’ve never studied architecture or learned its basics—I just genuinely enjoy doing this. So, keeping all that in mind, how do you think I’m doing so far? How would you rate my work out of 10?

​Hi everyone,

I'm looking for advice, testimonials and experience on career path as architect engineer located in Europe, french speeking country.

​I just earned a double degree (Bac+7): Engineering-Architecture from the University of Liège (Belgium) and Civil Engineering from Polytech Lille (France). I am currently looking for my first job and wondering about the best career path.

​What drives me in an architectural project is the design process and problem-solving to bring the project to life. For my master's thesis, I simulated a design phase for a project using Grasshopper to evaluate multiple variants: structure, carbon footprint, thermal performance, and global cost. I loved this approach and would like a job where I can integrate these criteria and weigh them against each other to guide the design.

​Here are my thoughts and doubts:

​I am afraid of losing my dual background if I start in pure architecture or a pure structural engineering consultancy (BET). How can I maintain this dual skill set from my very first job?

​Hybrid agencies: Do mixed design/technical positions exist within multidisciplinary architecture firms?

​Facade engineering: Is this a good gateway to link pure technical design with architectural expression?

​Long-term goals: I would like to become a project manager in a hybrid structure offering varied missions and an integrated project tracking process between engineering and architecture.

​Mobility & Salary: I am mobile (France, Belgium, international) and want to leverage my Bac+7 degree to avoid the low junior salary grids typical of traditional architecture firms.

​My questions:

​What type of structure should I target (integrated firm, large engineering consultancy, off-site start-up)?

​How should I negotiate to highlight my double degree and maintain this versatility?

​Are there other jobs or positions better suited to my background that I might not know about?

​I am looking for testimonials from people who have been in my situation, as well as advice, experiences, and good ideas.

If you were in my situation what would you do ahah ?

​Thanks in advance for your advice!

​Have a great day everyone
