We have already gone through programming but the plan above is really our first shot and meeting those programming requirements without any input from our clients. After the quick diagram study above was created, it became obvious that we needed to flip the eyewear theater with the enclosed workspace. Music to our ears!

In this context, architecture played a definitive role, especially under the umbrella of cultural and environmental sustainability. With so many architecture firms to choose from, it’s challenging for clients to identify the industry leaders that will be an ideal fit for their project needs.

With so many architecture firms to choose from, it’s challenging for clients to identify the industry leaders that will be an ideal fit for their project needs. All elements — diagrams, proportions and dimensions — are carefully designed with precious and valuable details.

There are few stronger parallels to all the the variables in the Builder-Architect-Client dynamic. It is not necessary to be a math genius (we all have calculators) nor is it necessary to master or memorize complex load calculations and diagrams, etc. Math is an education in problem solving and of knowing what is asked.

This was a quick plan study that I prepared so that I could show the client how we could add another bedroom to this one area of the house. Since I will run copies of the sketches I make for the client, I like to use a red colored pencil to shade in the walls. This sketch is actually an earlier iteration of the 4th sketch in this post.

For this job – Lyday Farms – we used a landscape architect for the project although we set up the diagramming of the site. As far as landscaping goes, it really depends on the project. Therefore, anything you read on this site is not a substitute for actually working with me. Following my casual advice is at your own peril.

Do you know how to calculate the exact amount you need to charge your clients in order to earn 20% profit on that project? I had some retainer clients and project based clients, et cetera. You know, our prospective clients think that we look the same and we sound the same and we act the same as everybody else.

Never thought about having someone come at me with a hatchet in the dark hours but I will certainly use that in my next floor plan pitch to a client. Fear is always helpful in getting my clients to see the correct way. link] Bob Borson sounds about right Elizabeth Bob- It never ceases to amaze me what we can learn about our clients.

Architecture students should definitely travel … I think every student should do some traveling. too funny reading what had been important to me back then, with little diagrams explaining things too. But you should definitely give her a sketchbook and pencil for every trip – that’s definitely something unchanged.

Since the projects I work on aren’t for me, I need to be able to separate out what I personally like and what the client wants. It becomes easier to tell the client “No, that’s crap and I’m not designing it that way!” I definitely still want to be an architect though no matter how long it takes.

Diagrammatic architecture is the usage of diagrams to develop a building or structure. The diagrams have the purpose to analyze problems and thereby develop solutions to them. Lavish architecture usually comes from wealthy clients, who are willing to spend a lot on an extravagant design. Deconstruction. Genius Loci design.

If the set of drawings is approaching the 100+ mark definitely rolling is the way to go. It’s got lots of ergonomic/spatial data illustrated with diagrams (eg how much space do you need to open a kitchen cabinet when kneeling). Prior to that here in Oz there is a tendency to roll them more often the folding. I now do both.

Projects in remote locations definitely have their challenges. Our client, based overseas, is involved in a family farm in the Baviaans, with the closest town being Willowmore in the Karoo. First, though, we sent a simple diagram to the client for approval. We found ourselves somewhat back at Square One!
