Making architecture offers a unique insight into the mind and work of an Architect, starting with the basics of the profession and culminating with the production of a scaled site model. The course should act as ideal preparation for those interested in undertaking an undergraduate degree in Architecture, although its flexible, intriguing and enjoyable content makes it accessible for all those looking to increase their knowledge in the field. Delivered primarily by Professors from the IE School of Architecture and design in Segovia (Spain), the course begins by examining the mind-set of an Architect - asking how they think and what they do to train their creative minds, moving on to using inspiration from the environment to stimulate design ideas. Finally, the course concludes by looking at some of the more technical aspects of Architecture - such as composition, form, space and hierarchy - and stressing the importance of creating a story that helps define your design. This fascinating content is delivered principally from the stunning design studio at the IE school of Architecture and features external videos from a few beautiful locations in the city of Segovia. Finally, it includes interviews from Pritzker Prize executive director - and Dean of the school of Architecture and design at IE - Martha Thorne, with a number of award winning practising architects such as Sarah Wigglesworth and Cristoph Ingenhoven.

Welcome to the Mind of an Architect

In this course, we're not just going to tell you what the architect does, we're going to show it to you. You're going to actually do, on a small scale, the work that an architect does.What the architect does is to have a certain vision about how things might be better. We're going to give you an introduction to that mindset and to that way of working. The study of architecture really engages all your skills. You learn how to work in teams, you learn how to communicate. You learn how to think critically and analytically. You develop all of your creative skills in the study of architecture. In this first module we are going to do three things. We're going to dispel some of the myths about what you need in order to be an architect. We're also going to talk about what an architect does and doesn't do. Then we're going to work on a short design exercise that begins to stretch your muscles to get you going on the design process.

Hi, as we saw in previous video, architecture occupies kind of

a blurred space between economy, technique, society and nature.

But architects do not just make buildings.

They make many, many different designs.

They can make many, many different designs.

Of course, before, in previous videos I explained you that

architecture is just in the common space between these four layers.

But architects can be anywhere.

I'm going to present you the work of different architects, landscape designers,

that I don't really know if they are in a specific position.

They are again like in a [INAUDIBLE] space that I think is something really

interesting and powerful for design, and for architecture.

Finding like this type of no mans land

where I think design can grow in a completely different way.

I'm going to start presenting you the work of two different

architects that probably they have a bigger concern with social engagement.

The first one is.

That he designed carbon houses for

people after the earthquake.

He tried to develop a new type of houses that they were going to work on,

all the refugees from the earthquake.

Two houses were amazing.

Were made by a type of cardboard that the walls were built with cardboard tubes.

The structure was really interesting and the way that everything was

implemented on the side to give like a better way of living to the refugees.

So in this case, say that only that

had like a bigger concern regarding social engagement, of course he did.

But at the same time probably, the technique was so

important to develop those approaches.

On the other hand,

I would like to talk about an Indian architect called Balkrishna.

He was trying to learn how the people live in the slums,

how the people related with the street.

That usually we can think that the slums are not a positive place.

Of course, there is a lot of things to be improved.

But there's a lot of things that we can learn of how the people live in this land

that I think they are really positive.

And that's what Balkrishna did for the developing and for

the design of an city that was oriented to the people that was living on the slums.

That design was amazing because also it was a kind of mixture between

social engagement and the new technique that was made to apply for

the people that they were the ones that were going to build those houses.

Another two examples that I will like to show are reality like the landscape.

A Spanish architect together with Kermit Demos,

they made an amazing design for a graveyard close to Barcelona,

in Ewalala, it's called Ewalala the graveyard.

They built a kind of mountain, it wasn't just a graveyard.

They make the landscape of a mountain through a new

way of containing worlds made of of rocks.

So they design a new mountain where inside of a mountain was going to be

the graveyard.

Another example is from China that could be this landscape designer

theme called torrenscape.

They recover a wet land that it was outside the city by

the capacity of a wet land to clean the environment.

So they recover on the one hand the wet land and

at the same time they clean all the water that were coming from the city.

So they have like a kind of concern between nature and society.

Both were linked.

So that's why I would like to finish this video giving this

message that architecture is not just about making buildings.

It's about much, much more.

And sometimes architects are in that kind of group position that we are not sure.

If they are talking about landscape design,

if they are builders, if they are architects.

If they are talking about urban planning.

In the next video, we are going to play a game.

We're going to try to make an exercise about finding architects.
