Simply based on my inbox, there is a new batch of bright and shiny new future architects about to graduate and they are on the hunt for their future … hopefully in an office like mine. Every graduating architecture student has a portfolio – even I had one, and I maintained it for several years too.

As architecture schools greet new students this fall, I thought it would be fun to revisit that list of “must-haves” after having practiced architecture for 30 years.

The fact I included a case study chapter in Buildings in Print , as mentioned above, points to my appreciation of this sub-genre of architecture books but also to the role they have played in teaching architecture students, spreading knowledge around important works, and promoting architects and architecture within and beyond the profession.

While this would get more use by an architect that tends to sketch more, I still believe that it is useful to any architect. You can get smaller sizes of this exact lightbox, but the larger is best for an architect who likes to sketch, draw or design in a non-digital format. This is also a fairly portable item because it is so thin.

I think through drawing and sketching, for others they might turn towards computer software … I don’t really care. I’m a 20 year old architecture student from India and I do believe I’m going through an identity crisis, right in the midst of my submissions too! I know I believe it. Alan Manning Great!

I still enjoy getting out my lead holders and tools to sketch new product ideas. A mentor of mine once told me, “Reinvent the wheel on your own time.” I currently TA drawing I for undergrad freshmen and I find myself defending drawing all the time to other students, colleagues and even some former professors.
