  3. ivanlunaelizarraras says:

    well dont u think its pretty important?? cause i mean u have to make houses that stand up, not houses that’ll fallin down, right?

  4. AsurorusA says:

    its very essential to an architect to know the basic structural engineering (loads, Strength of materials , etc) because architects should note the allowable stresses, bearings etc. it should comply within the min. and max. allowances in designing a structure- so when an engr looks up on yer design-he/she will not look down on ya :)

    your still the best

    i dont think it is much. my university course so far has told me that structural knowledge is important in the design process, so that you basically dont design some super ridiculous building that will never stand up. otherwise a structural engineer should check that ur designs work.

    well thats what im told

    GREAT!!!!!
    keep these videos up!
    love them!

  17. less01 says:

    Exellent video thank you very much Doug :)

  18. davidhalifax says:

    It’s much more creative doing product design and it takes a fraction of the time for one to see the end result than architecture. I’m glad Doug sounds positive about this profession, but thinkk about it, why he would sell his business and do something else ?

    I really have respect for u and look up to u, i am trying to become an architect as well and know that i still have a long was to go seeing as how i am a senior in high school, i switched between engineering and architecture classes but im not completly positive which one im going for yet. I really like architecture for design and how buildings look but u said its alot of paperwork, i think im willing to go through all of that plus years of college if its all worth it and rewarding in the end

  22. CorvetteTeaser says:

    i would love to see you work on a real project. just to see how an architect may work. starting from client meeting to handing over.

  23. breebreezaa says:

    wow, all I have to say is that I really admire you!!!
    i look up to you Mr. Patt, you are so talented=)!!
    some day i want to be as half as good as you=)

  24. DeRealUno says:
