My Methodology:
As an aspiring architect, it's important understand that the creation of a building is more to do with HOW you design, than WHAT you design. Often we get stuck in rabbit holes or dead-ends trying to create the perfect building, when in reality all we need is a set of principles that we can follow to build the most appropriate building for its setting.
Architecture is both a science and an art. Taking into account historical precedents, surrounding architecture, building typology, environmental requirements, material choice and the experiential aspects of architecture, we can create a building which is completely fit for purpose, but there's one thing missing: the Architect's flair.
More important than any core concepts of design that I could teach you is the development of your OWN design language. YOU are the architect, and if you compromise on your vision, you are doing the world a disservice. My approach focuses on bringing out your "Architect's Voice" and helping you to project it loud and clear.
Of course, in order to design, we need the right tools, and there's no escaping the fact that Architects need to be able to Use CAD software as well as being able to sketch well, and so if learning the tools of the trade is all you need, then I'm happy to assist as well (especially in Sketch-Up).
