Program Architecture Puns

I'm interested in a architecture program and am doing everything in my power to find university summer programs as a way to learn and use them to get into my university. The thing is, I can't find them online that are fit for me as some are in the states and I live in Canada and a lot of them are REALLY pricey, I'm talking like $2000 for three days. I know that's just how post-secondary is, but I've looked everywhere and can't find one that's good. I looked at universities in my province (Ontario) and I just feel stuck. Does anyone know where I can find one? The program I'm interested in is landscape architecture so hopefully a design/architecture course preferably in august and online

I'm sorry if this is lengthy, I'm just kinda all over the place.

Are there any cool options to still work in the field? Are there any educational opportunities that would help that doesn’t require going back to school for 4 years?

I am a junior in Computer Engineering at the University of Kansas. I am taking compilers right now and will be taking computer architecture next year. I have read some sections of Patterson and Hennessy's "Computer Architecture and Organization: The Hardware/Software Interface" and it just looks like everything I have ever wanted to know about computers. Then I saw that "computer architect" is a real career path, and now I am thinking that this is one of the most likely careers that I will want to be in.

As I consider where to apply for grad school, are there good programs out there for becoming a computer architect? So far, I have been to this discussion on Quora and gathered that UT Austin or UW Madison would probably be good choices. Are there any others? Does it matter really, as long as I go to a decent school (for instance, KU?)

Programs that might serve useful in the long run.

Hey guys! I am an architecture student. I got a VR headset for Christmas. I am curious to find VR games that push the limits of my imagination. Do VR games exist that allow you to design and build buildings similar to a 3D modeling software or a game like the Sims? Thanks!

Hello! I'm currently a grade 11 student in high school and I stumbled upon Guelph's LA program and wanted to ask a couple of questions who knows/ is or was in the program since I don't know anyone who did:

1. I've dropped all my science courses this year and will mostly be focusing on social sciences (since that's the main major I was thinking to go into before LA) Other than that, I'm a leader in 2 clubs and in 2 councils, would that help me standout to get in?

My teachers say that our school has good relationships with the uni (Idk tho) Would my school also be a big factor to be accepted since it's competitive?

1. As for the form for LA, I heard it's weighted quite a bit and I've been looking into it more, but in terms of what to write, are there any suggestions of what I should put in? I heard some wrote about books they've read, do you happen to have any suggestions that could help me fill out the forms? Any book recommendations?
2. I've looked everywhere for grade admissions, all I've found out is that they don't do early admission, what would the average grade be to get in?
3. Also, I won't be taking any math courses in grade 12, would that be an issue in university ? It says I only need ENG4U and 5 other courses, which for me will probably be social science courses (since I'm not taking sciences or math) Would that be a problem?
4. Lastly, I've completed volunteer work at a women's organization, but nothing really related to architecture, is there something I could do to increase my chance of getting in other than grades and the forms?

Sorry that was a bit long, but I'd be really grateful if you could help me out with this! :)

IK it’s bad but like would they even read my application? Next semesters GPA will be better given class load. For background HS stats 33 ACT, 4.0 gpa, mediocre ecs, a couple national awards, FGLI. I have one leadership position at my current school and a job which takes up most of my time. I was/am very sick like for over a month which is part of the reason for the shitty GPA and me wanting to transfer (profs were very unhelpful and even fought my dean on stuff)

Greetings, I'm a software engineer getting started in PLC world.

I am unable to find a good reference or best practices for architectural program organisation. How do you organise your programs and seperate function blocks?

The idea behind is to have reusable and easy to read code, which at the moment is not.

Any recommendations / references on PLC software architecture are welcome too...

If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it. I have some questions about selecting an undergraduate program. Also, assume that all B.Arch and M.Arch programs that I will consider will be accredited by NAAB

1. Should I do (B.A./B.S in Architecture followed by M.Arch) vs**. (B.Arch possibly followed by M.Arch)**
   1. From what I have researched although the B.Arch is accredited to be licensed to practice most people do an accredited M.Arch program after anyway so the value of a B.Arch is a lot less. Is this true?
   2. Some schools also have a designed path to do both an undergraduate B.A, B.S., or B.Arch and an M.Arch. Is there any reason for me to avoid these?
   3. Also, and this I am less sure about, I have heard that the B.A./B.S. programs give more flexibility for undergraduates to change majors in the first two years. Although I am pretty sure I want to pursue some form of Architecture as a career I have no experience in it so I can only know when I am there.
2. How much value should be placed on the exclusivity or recognition of the college/university I am attending for an undergraduate degree?
   1. Some schools have lower academic requirements for acceptance than others but have accredited programs and seem to be good schools. Does this matter that much?
   2. Does it matter that much if a school is well known? (MIT for example)
   3. Does the undergraduate school even matter for an undergraduate degree if I plan to get an M.Arch possibly at some other school?
3. Is it better to get the M.Arch at the same school as the undergraduate program or a different one? (or maybe it just depends on the situation or if the different graduate school is better)

Apologies for the long post and thank you anyone who can help.

Hi, I understand what are architectures (x86,x64,arm,...) but, can't understand why OS should follow architecture of my CPU ? (what does it means exactly to follow my cup arch ??) also the same for softwares there is 64 and 32 bits software (why they should follow cpu architecture and what it differs from developing 64 and 32 bits softwares ?)

Similar to things like Chile’s Cybersign. I’m thinking about starting a personal project to efficiently create a planned economy as a POC

Hi,

I have mostly worked with AutoCad and SketchUp but thinking of what programs/software to add to my toolbox to be able to work better as an architect and to land a job. I'm currently doing my master and my school hasn't really focused a lot on digital tools, which makes me a bit worried. Which programs are important to learn? Rhino, Revit?

How is the Architecture program at UNCC? How are the professors? Advisors? Is it well thought of? Any thoughts appreciated.

I understand the fundamental concept behind immutable functions, meaning they does not manipulate any values, only creates new ones and return a modified copy of the object. I've also heard it's a good coding paradigm to get used to.

But I wonder if the whole application needs to be built with this in mind to see any gains, or if I go to work tomorrow and start writing immutable functions in my giant, enterprise application that has no real coherent architecture to speak of, and was cobbled together over 10 years, will I see a benefit in that case as well?

I am an architecture student enrolled in a 5-year university program accredited by the UIA in the middle east; and I am starting my third year in about a month or so.

I wanted to know whether it's important for my CV in the future to have taken extra certified courses in the architectural software programs such as Revit and 3Ds Max whether online or ones taught in learning centers.

Or would it be enough to be self taught and build up a portfolio to showcase my work? Which is more important for employment opportunities? Which do employers look for?

Between all of my development projects, I will make architecture diagrams to explain the flow of data and how various classes interact with each other. At the moment, I'm using powerpoint because it's pretty simple to use and helps me quickly draw up a diagram explaining the data flow within my applications. Very useful for coming back to a project too, since sometimes I forget how I've implemented something.

However powerpoint isn't really designed for this, and even though it works fine, I'm wondering if there's any similar applications that exist that are designed more specifically for this purpose.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Hi, I'm just doing some brain storming. Would anyone mind giving me feedback about what I might or might not understand correctly?

A long time ago, I think I heard that programs in windows can not tell that they are the "active/in focus" window. Is there any truth to that? I think this factoid came up in a discussion about why a certain behavior couldn't change.

I was thinking that, for windows, this is what makes "sleeping tabs" (kind of new feature) in browsers special. Because tabs are contained in the browser's framework, the browser is able to intelligently know when a tab is not being used. Also, I read that Windows 11 has an ability to detect an app that is active, and throttle apps that are not (I'm paraphrasing.)

However, it occurred to me that an app *does* know when it is trying to be shut down, so information between the OS and a program isn't entirely one-way. Edit: I know I'm going down a long road here, but if the things I've said are correct, are there other signals like this that programs can get from the OS?

That's all, I just wanted to understand how things work a bit more. Thank you!

I have a Bachelor's degree in another field. I found out that a Master's program in Spain that I was considering requires a Bachelor's degree in architecture. Is this typical for countries in the EU? What about South America?

I'm looking for an international Master's program in architecture that will accept a Bachelor's degree in a non-architecture field, similar to M. Arch I programs in the US. Do they exist outside of the US?

Thanks in advance.
