Best Toys for Architects….Countdown
Posted: January 25, 2013 Filed under: Architecture, JustArch, More FC3 | Tags: Architect, Architecture, Design, ILMA, Ipad, Laser, MacbookPro, revit, Technology 2 Comments
Hardware:
5. The “lazzzer” – documenting existing condition dimensions has never been easier, my brand of choice: Hilti
4. The laptop – today’s technology allows us to “Architect” on the go, great models available for both pc and mac platforms but be sure to max out RAM, video, and get a solid state harddrive; if you are going with a mac like me, check out this sound advise
3. Twin 30″ displays – for cad work and photoshop at the office, today there are great choices under $1,000 for each display
2. Mobile phone – responding to clients and contractors on the go, from Blackberrys to iPhones to Droids, Architects cannot be productive without one
1. The Tablet – great for referencing drawings in the field, meeting minutes, and notes, I love my iPad, it’s my favorite device, most effective for the price and syncs with all my other hardware, can’t image living without it, next time I’m upgrading from Wifi to a network plan so I can be limitless
Software:
5. Microsoft Project – manage projects utilizing this software to track milestones, durations, critical path activities, delays and recovery, from predesign to post-occupancy
4. Microsoft Suite – boring, yes, but still most effective way to prepare proposals, spreadsheets, and presentations
3. Adobe Photoshop – makes our cool projects look even cooler
2. Adobe Acrobat Pro – this is an unbelievable investment to help organize data for printing, distribution, and easy access, I can’t image not being able to use this software
1. Autodesk Revit – allows us to design and document our designs in 3-D, visualizing and presenting our ideas in a way unimaginable 20-30 years ago. Clients love the 3-D renderings and Architects love the ability to coordinate between plan, elevation, and section. It’s definitely worthy of the investment dollars to gain productivity and the ability to design in a “real” three dimension environment – You get to build the building “virtually” before building the building.

Architects: Know Your Quantities!!!
Posted: September 12, 2012 Filed under: Architecture, JustArch | Tags: Architecture, BIM, Brick, great wall, materials, ming, revit, take offs 4 CommentsBefore BIM Building Information Modeling:
Jiayuguan Pass, in Jiayuguan city, is the largest and most intact pass, or entrance, of the Great Wall. Jiayuguan Pass was built in the early Ming dynasty, somewhere around the year 1372. It was built near an oasis that was then on the extreme western edge of China. Jiayuguan Pass was the first pass on the west end of the great wall so it earned the name “The First And Greatest Pass Under Heaven.”
“The building project was assigned to a military manager and an Architect. The Architect presented the manager with a requisition for the total number of bricks that he would need. When the king found out that the Architect had not asked for any extra bricks, he demanded that the Architect make some provision for unforeseen circumstances. The Architect, taking this as an insult to his planning ability, added a single extra brick to the request. When the gate was finished, the single extra brick was, in fact, extra and was left on the ledge over the gate.”
Today with BIM there are no excuses to “not know” your quantities….
