I’ve sketched up a typical bedroom to help illustrate what I mean. In this sketch, I’ve rotated the bed 180° so that the head of the bed is opposite the entry and when the occupants are lying in bed, they have a clear view of the door. It’s disturbing and most people unknowingly try to avoid it.

I used to think the only thing an architect did was draft a pencil sketch of what was going to be built. In looking for a way to communicate to the public the love architects have of their work and the value they bring to their community your blog has given me invaluable insight. Now I know a little better (just a little!)

I still think sketch up is way easier, but just for 3d views. If I had staff, I would probably design in sketch up, and have “them” do the plans… too bad my staff can’t draw. I attach a photo of my staff Kyle J Marsh I love seeing the design come together like this.

While this would get more use by an architect that tends to sketch more, I still believe that it is useful to any architect. You can get smaller sizes of this exact lightbox, but the larger is best for an architect who likes to sketch, draw or design in a non-digital format. This is also a fairly portable item because it is so thin.

By the end of the semester my drafting and penmanship was light years from where I began.
