ARCHITECTURAL GRAPHICS 101 Architectural Graphics 101 – Symbols. I will readily admit that architectural drawing symbols are not the sexiest of graphic topics I can cover but I feel like they go a long way in determining the graphic nature of your drawings. Along with lineweight, titleblocks, and drawing organization, symbols help the visual communicationprocess
ARCHITECTURAL GRAPHICS 101: FINISH SCHEDULES Architectural Graphics 101: Finish Schedules – colored by group I am going to break down this finish schedule sheet but I have a feeling it is pretty self-explanatory. I should also point out that I went back in and erased some information – those aren’t gaps in my documentation. I don’t think that a) people want 020: THE CONSTRUCTION BID PROCESS For those of you who might not know, a construction bid is the process in which the contractor takes the drawings and specifications as prepared by the architect and their consultants, reviews them for materials, quantities, and submits a price in which to undertake the scope of work as defined in those construction documents. HOW TO PICK THE RIGHT PAINT FINISH If the final decoration is to be a flat paint, light texture or lightweight wall covering, a Level 4 finish is recommended. Fastener heads and accessories shall be covered with three separate coats of joint compound. All joint compound shall be smooth and free from toolmarks and ridges.
ARCHITECTURAL GRAPHICS 101 Schedules, in general, have been on my list as a topic for this series since day one and I have been thinking about how to approach them for there are so many to consider: Door, Window, Finish, Lighting, Plumbing, and Casework just to name a few. I decided to start with the humble Window Schedule because it’s relatively straightforward and BOARD FORMED CONCRETE It looks really, really awesome ( if I do say so myself even though I wasn’t the one that actually built this). “Board-formed Concrete” is the name for a process of patterning concrete that leaves a wood grain image on the finished face of the concrete. It is a method of construction that is being used more frequently these days HOW TO BUILD A SHOWER THAT WON'T LEAK The liquid is applied with a paint roller or paint brush and the fabric is embedded into the liquid until the liquid bleeds through the fabric. A top coat of the membrane liquid is immediately applied over the fabric. In the picture above, that is why the shower walls now look black – you are looking at the Anti-Fracture Membrane. TOILETS BY THE FRONT DOOR Any adult who has ever hosted a dinner party or some other form of gathering inside their home knows why a powder room and coat closets by the entrance are making a come back. As soon as women enter that door, they want a place to put their bags and coats, and then they want to be able to double-check hair and makeup.

MODERN RESIDENTIAL FRAMING The use of steel and framing techniques like these really goes a long way into creating the drama that people frequently associate with modern residential design.

I should also point out that I went back in and erased some information – those aren’t gaps in my documentation. I don’t think that a) people want 020: THE CONSTRUCTION BID PROCESS For those of you who might not know, a construction bid is the process in which the contractor takes the drawings and specifications as prepared by the architect and their consultants, reviews them for materials, quantities, and submits a price in which to undertake the scope of work as defined in those construction documents. PAINTED WHITE WOOD CEILINGS Use either track lighting or indipendant fixtures and run the track or wiring on the top sides of the beams where you can't see it. Use nice small fixtures to up light the ceilings and some for down lighting the room. This will make a world of change. If you still don't like it then go back and paint. HOW TO PICK THE RIGHT PAINT FINISH If the final decoration is to be a flat paint, light texture or lightweight wall covering, a Level 4 finish is recommended. Fastener heads and accessories shall be covered with three separate coats of joint compound. All joint compound shall be smooth and free from toolmarks and ridges.
RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS: COST PLUS FEE A Cost Plus Fee contract with a contractor is exactly what it sounds like – the actual cost to build your project plus a management and coordination fee for the general contractor. The management and coordination fees are generally a predetermined percentage of the actual costs. In my neck of the woods, we typically see around 15% asthe
HOW TO BUILD A SHOWER THAT WON'T LEAK The liquid is applied with a paint roller or paint brush and the fabric is embedded into the liquid until the liquid bleeds through the fabric. A top coat of the membrane liquid is immediately applied over the fabric. In the picture above, that is why the shower walls now look black – you are looking at the Anti-Fracture Membrane. DEATH TO GLASS BLOCKS I was born in the 80s and the memory of my revulsion at glass block is one of my deepest, oldest memories -- far predating any knowledge of architecture, design, the alphabet, simple monosyllabic speech and how to use the toilet.

DO YOU WANT TO BE AN ARCHITECT? Practicing architecture for 99.9% of the architects out there means something other than designing – at least what you might typically think design really means. The practice of architecture is more than sketching on trace paper, parti diagrams, deciding what pens to draw with, groupies, and last-minute trips to Vegas with the client. 020: THE CONSTRUCTION BID PROCESS For those of you who might not know, a construction bid is the process in which the contractor takes the drawings and specifications as prepared by the architect and their consultants, reviews them for materials, quantities, and submits a price in which to undertake the scope of work as defined in those construction documents.

The result for these firms is a work week of 40-60 hours. At the same time, the level of 'passion' for each firm member, for this profession, will be quite high and the adrenalin flow equally high.

SIPs are a high performance building system where the interior structural portion of the wall is assembled like an ice cream sandwich using a 7/16″ layer of oriented strand board (OSB) as the outside of the sandwich, and in our case, a 5 1/2″ interior cavity filled with styrofoam ARCHITECTURAL TRICKS OF THE TRADE Architectural Tricks of the Trade.
