Life of an Architect
APRIL 9, 2018
Architectural sketches typically fall into two distinctive camps (other than “Great!” ” or “terrible”) and the relative purpose of those sketches seem to reflect the time period with when the sketch was actually created … during design or during construction.

Sketching The Hopes and Dreams of My Future. Up to that point in my life my only experience with actual construction was observing my father and his friends build a new family room for our house when I was 7. I spent hours at that board sketching all the hopes and dreams of my future; muscle cars, fast boats and contemporary houses.

Before we grab the roll of trace and start sketching with the Sharpie, we gather as much information about the users of our buildings as possible. Most contractors do, in fact, have lots to teach us about construction and I let them know that I value their opinions. Always provide Construction Administration.

The innovative ideas and concepts we create can often only be born after hours (sometimes days) of intense thought and several dozen layers of sketch paper. Most sole proprietors and small firms I know, struggle to meet the minimum requirements of operation. Construction Services. Forget about profit.

Travis grew up immersed in the construction field. From his Dad to his uncles, most of his family is involved in the construction process in one way or another. What it’s like to work in a small firm. A dot sketch book that I use as a planner, sketchbook. Travis Krimmel. What made Travis join the military.

We are expected to know the codes and technical details required to construct safe and healthy buildings. My firm does it differently than the rest. Before we design, before we sketch our first line, we perform a process of information gathering that involves a questionnaire, photo collecting and a collaborative programming meeting.

I look at my kids today and remember myself at that age spending hours and hours sketching scenes of what my life would one day become. Many of those pencil sketched dreamscapes remain pinned to those “gallery” walls today, yellow and stained with age. When Annmarie and I launched our small firm in 1999, I had big dreams then as well.
