"Let's get Facility Design First Class Architect"

"Study method that passed the facility design first-class architect at the age of 60"

Challenge a new qualification at the age of 60.

When you hear that, many people may think like this.

"Now?"

But for me, the challenge meant a lot.

I have been working in architecture for a long time.

Design, site and management.

He continued his design work as a first-class architect and started a company at the age of 33.

The company lasted about 20 years.

However, the company eventually resulted in bankruptcy.

At that time I thought.

"Let's learn architecture again."

Architecture is a job that continues to study for a lifetime.

Structure, equipment, construction, regulations.

The building is made up of many technologies.

Among them, I wanted to study the world of "equipment" again.

Air conditioning ventilation equipment.

Water supply and drainage sanitation facilities.

Electrical equipment.

Fire Equipment.

Transportation equipment

It is because of these facilities that the building is safe and comfortable to use.

and i decided to challenge myself

I was qualified as a facility design first-class architect.

Securing study time and studying while working is not easy.

Like when you were younger, it becomes difficult to concentrate for a long time.

So what I tried to do was to study a little every day.

It doesn't have to be a long time. Anyway, I'm at my desk.

I thought it was important to keep doing that.

Connect work and study.

Equipment design The first-class architect exam cannot be handled with mere knowledge.

Work experience is very important.

While remembering what I had experienced in the field and design, I organized the way of thinking about the equipment.

Studying architecture deepens your understanding when it is linked to practical work.

Do not aim for perfection.

When you study for qualification exams, you try to remember everything.

But that's not enough time.

Understand the important points.

Rather than aiming for perfection, I was conscious of understanding the whole.

Age doesn't matter.

When you start studying at the age of 60, there are many things different from when you were young.

The speed of remembering is also different.

Concentration is also different.

Still, there is a great weapon of experience.

My experience in the world of architecture helped me to study.

I think.

Age is no reason to give up a challenge.

Keeping learning is also the fun of this job.

And when I was 60 years old, I tried a new qualification again.

That is the facility design first class architect.

Architecture is a job that you learn for the rest of your life.

I am writing based on that experience and thought

It is a novel "Architect's Baton" series.

It depicts the challenges, conflicts, and growth of engineers working in the world of architecture.

This series has 24 books including the main story, spin-off and new chapter.

Currently, I am writing "Architect's Baton New Chapter Volume 5 Equipment Design: The Road to a First-Class Architect."

It depicts the world of building equipment and challenges to qualification exams in a narrative format.

If you are aiming to become a first-class architect in facility design or are interested in the world of building equipment, I would be happy if you could read it.

Architecture is a job that keeps learning.

And that learning is never too late to begin.

Read more設備設計一級建築士を目指す方にとって、試験合格のための勉強法だけでなく、日々の仕事の中でどのように設備の知識を深めていくかが鍵となります。私の経験から言うと、毎日少しずつでも継続して学習することが習慣づけの面で非常に効果的でした。特に、空調換気設備や給排水衛生設備、電気設備、消防設備、輸送設備のそれぞれの役割を理解し、それを実務の現場と結びつけることで知識が頭に残りやすくなりました。 また、試験に向けてはすべてを完璧に覚えようとせず、重要なポイントを抑え全体像を捉えることを重視しました。実務で培った経験があると、それぞれの設備がなぜ必要なのか、安全性や快適性を守るための技術的根拠を理解しやすく、試験問題の解き方や応用力につながりました。 年齢を重ねると集中力や記憶のスピードに差が出ることもありますが、逆に長年の現場経験が知識習得の助けになりました。資格勉強を始めるのに遅すぎるということはなく、むしろ自分の成長を実感できる良い機会になると思います。私自身、60歳で新たに資格取得に挑戦したことで、建築士としての視野が広がり、実務にもより深みが増しました。 さらに、建築設備一級建築士の道をテーマにした小説「建築士のバトン」シリーズの執筆も行っており、物語を通じて日々の挑戦や葛藤、学びの過程を共有しています。資格取得を目指す方や設備設計の世界に興味がある方は、こうしたリアルな体験談からも多くのヒントを得られることでしょう。建築という仕事は一生学び続けるものであり、いつからでも新しい挑戦を始められます。
