![]() (Bob likes his sharpies)īasic Color Set Ink Alcohol Markers ( Artist Markers) Some find other pens to replace these as they learn their preferred sketching/drawing styles, but I prefer this type of pen for pure sketching. There are several good sets to choose from Staedtler, Artline, and Sakura just to name a few. ![]() They are often also called “artist” pen sets. They can do some light technical work if needed but are more about giving you options for line weight when you are sketching. They also come in multiple sizes to suit your preferences. Of course, these are good for writing text also like taking notes or jotting down ideas. Also, they lay open easily which is a plus when you are sketching. But if desired I can ignore it altogether and just sketch like a madman! The Moleskine Cahier paperback dot-grids are my choice inexpensive and good quality. In a detail sketch, the dot-grid may represent 1” or it may be 4’-0” in some other sketch. By that I mean that depending on what I am sketching I can use the dot-grid to assign a scale to my drawings. I personally prefer a dot-grid notebook as it gives me a little structure, but it also allows me to work at a self-created scale. Now of course these are something that you need to continuously purchase as your move through school and, hopefully, for the rest of your life. Most of these should be utilized throughout your school years. M y Must-Have List of supplies for starting architecture school. That might become another post, so computers and software are of course needed. This list is really about analog “tools” so there is not any digital technology listed here. This list below is My list and is not the same as the one I am curating from my colleagues in the architecture department. Oddly enough, I am actually the person who has been tasked with creating such a list for our incoming freshman students. So I am going to break it down into a list that I think every student should have as they enter architecture school. Since we are a mere four weeks away from the start of a new year of school, even though the delivery of education may be a bit different this coming fall, there are still tools that every architecture student needs. What do you need to have for architecture school today versus just a decade ago and even further back? How much have these things changed? Should they? As I am preparing my syllabus and other items for the quickly approaching fall semester, I have begun to have discussions and questions about the student “tool kit” if you want to call it that.
