On site, the method of identifying the panels is definitely old school – a fat magic marker with the panel tag written on the exterior face. Since SIPs are pre-built in the factory, you can safely assume that getting everything figured out on paper ahead of time is crucial. link] Michael T.

Home / Blog / Out with the Old, In with the New Out with the Old, In with the New Bob Borson — December 30, 2013 — 58 Comments It’s pre-dawn on a Sunday and I am currently sitting in my kitchen, the rest of my house still in bed, trying to get my bearings in place before the new year kicks off in earnest.

When I sit down with a client to work through the programming on their new home, we spend a lot of time trying to figure out “how” they live, not necessarily “how they want” to live. Sorry, your blog cannot share posts by email.' I try and keep things light and share a thing or two about what I think I know.

Luckily for me, I managed to pull myself together in time and figure out how to go about my business. It sounds a little silly to say that it took me 15 years of schooling to figure out how to “learn” but that’s the truth of the matter. Get yourself an architectural blog and that number will grow to 10 Million times.

I enjoy playing badminton and collecting commercial aircraft scale models. As I am between jobs for the moment I have some time and creative energies that I thought I’d put in something useful (=doing competitions) and that’s how I found this one… and as I like working on small scale things I thought I would give it a try!

All of our text is generally scaled so that it plots out at 3/32″ tall – the only exception is equipment labels (sized slightly smaller) and room names (sized slightly larger). Window tags _in plan??_ In your second floor plan image, you mention making the window tags non-directional. Rob Kuhn Also? For shame, Bob.

I used a combination of freehand and my scale on that sketch. For the most part, most was eyeballed and drawn in place using my scale, I then went back over parts of it with a heavier pen to help the clarity. Also, as a side question, what do you think of his later (museums) work as opposed to his early small scaled works?

Lets start with Interior Elevations - I like my interior elevations to be at 3/8″ – 1′-0″ scale. I happen to believe that it is at this level – the 3″ = 1′-0″ scale – where all truly magnificent buildings are made. joggle just a couple of cold bridges in them details!

So when I was offered a new Bosch Tassimo T55 brewing system, and casually mentioned it to the people sitting around me, they said I might “accidentally” fall on the sharp end of an architectural scale if I didn’t say yes. Sorry, your blog cannot share posts by email.' The other one, well, it stays in my kitchen.

This playhouse turned out to be a great backyard folly – the scale of the individual pieces that went to building this playhouse really fit well with the size requirements for these playhouses. I think the success of any playhouse ultimately really depends on whether or not the scale is set properly. & I want to entry it.

This would be a ( gasp ) FOOD BLOG !!!! Lord knows there are already enough food blogs out there, we don’t need any more. Since most people who come to this site can read drawings, I’ll let you figure out just how efficiently laid out this space is – in a good way. Yes, they’re built like Mack trucks.

I really enjoy reading your blog and you do great design work. Interiors can look very good without a lot of work (especially with the free cloud rendering from Autodesk’s subscription site), but something like a few good reflections and trees to give some scale to your building are more difficult than they should be.

If the figures in the report were in today’s dollars, we would have something credible to compare. I looked at it as a marketing expense figuring that having a license would add a level of legitimacy and open my practice up to new markets. Has anyone run those figures? for the cost of the exam.
