Ever wonder what life is like in architecture school? RISD graduate, Joseph Echavarria has chronicled his entire graduate program experience, documenting everything from studio life, crits, Rhino hacks, to thesis reviews, modeling tips, and preparing for a presentation. He employs an authentic range of characters (his studio mates) and presents the uniqueness and rawness of life as an architecture student. 

Joseph started his YouTube channel back in 2015 when he decided to begin logging his journey in architecture. "My main reason for starting the YouTube channel was just to have a reason to film. I’ve always wanted to make videos and I loved YouTube," Joseph told Archinect. Soon, the young student's passion for filming grew into a valuable resource for those seeking to learn more about architecture school. Many of his videos display comments from curious viewers expressing their gratitude for the consistent documentation of the college experience in architecture.

Joseph participated on a panel about Content Creation in Architecture at the Young Architect Conference this past weekend and shared his process on getting started on YouTube, the power of storytelling through video, and the challenges he faced along the way. Having graduated in 2018, Joseph is now searching for the next step in his journey on YouTube. "Now that school is over it's hard for me to document the things I'm doing. I want to start a new series called 'Becoming an Architect' and share my journey as an emerging professional," he expressed. 

For architecture student's, Joseph's channel provides a slew of videos giving an inside look into school. And for the emerging professional, it looks like a new series of documentation is soon to come.
