I’m not sure I would have made this observation had I not started writing this blog and posting my sketches for others to view. It also helps me know which rolls of trace paper in the office are mine. It’s kinda freaky to be honest. Instead of the roll being round, it’s now oval-shaped and won’t roll away.

These days, many students work from home or their apartments since the work is done digitally. Also, where I spent a ridiculous amount of time building basswood models, most of the students I talk to these days send their digital files to a laser cutter and have the pieces of their model cut for them.

Some of the larger production commercial firms had the resources to buy “CAD Stations” and dedicate substantial office space to server rooms complete with NASA-looking tape storage systems, but most firms were still drawing things by hand. May not seem like a big deal to you but I’m in my 5th office since that time.

Deciding to write this blog has in many ways become a watershed moment for me in my career. I don’t feel any satisfaction in paper architecture, theory has a place in architecture, just not in my office. Get yourself an architectural blog and that number will grow to 10 Million times. CUZ THERE IS LIKE NO WAY OUT OF THIS.

These were notes I was making for myself and for the one of the guys who works in my office. Since coming over to the new office, there are certain graphic standards that I am changing and sometimes it’s easier to simply show how we want the CAD file to look like by sketching on top of it. I couldn’t agree more with you.

Part of the reason I am showing/ sharing these drawings with you is that these are the drawings I am using when showing the people in our office who are helping me set up or drafting standards in Revit. Anyone who has taken on the chore of adjusting the graphic standards for their own office knows that this is a slow and laborious process.

I asked this question to everyone in my office and these were the albums they selected … I think it’s somewhat amusing that you can almost arrange these people from oldest to youngest purely based on their selections. Now I may have to post on my own blog…nice distraction. Laura What, no Beatles?

One thing that I have to be mindful of is the geo-tagging capability that programs have built into them. The image above is my geo-tagged photo map (at different zoomed in levels). I really like this feature and use it frequently … but not everyone wants their business or project tagged in my photo stream.
