Since a number of people don’t seem to understand this concept, I thought I would whip together some sketches to help illustrate my point. In order to reach all points on the site without damaging the trees, the contractor had to use a concrete pump truck with a giant arm on it. Here is a look at the controller for the pump arm.

” Other than the fact that I am an architect and I have my finger on the pulse of architects savvy enough to be reading my site, I pretty much write down the list I would give my wife and post it here. I personally feel that the really nice ones can be a little intimidating to sketch in – they seem a little precious to me.

One of the very first sketches I ever published on Life of an Architect was the section sketch of the master bathroom shower in my own house. The two people in that sketch are some of the architectural scale figures that I use all the time. Architects and designers frequently use scale figures to help illustrate scale.

My office’s models tend to be study-work-in-progress, since I’m faster with an Xacto than perspective – and I detest how so many of my boss’s sketches faked the scale, and other sketches left a wall out and misled the observer/client. How do I remember the scale since that was over 20 years ago?
