With a twisted sense of pride, too many architects today accept the small firm stereotype of “starving artist”. Seeds planted in architecture school bloom into a full-on virus as professionals launch their own firms and find their way to small business. Architecture is a profession like law and medicine.

They look like 1/4″ At my firm we typically start at 1/16″ and work up to 1/8″, usually do not go above unless its working out a detail or a small detailed area. Depending on the architecture school themselves, hand drafting and sketching may be a big part of it or barely existent. Especially in planning firms.

Monographs are an unavoidable part of architecture books. No matter how often they are decried as passé, endangered , or even dead, monographs persevere as one of the best means of presenting a firm's built and unbuilt works and for marketing the same to new clients.

We have a lot of photographers that are friends of the firm and we found one who was willing and able to accommodate the size of our model. I want to go to architecture school but I don’t really enjoy making models–the process is quite frustrating for me… should all aspiring architects be passionate about model making?

When I first started architecture school as a freshman in college, I didn’t have the focus or maturity I needed to tackle the curriculum and I ended up having a serious identity crisis when I was 19 years old.
