Adobe dimension vs sketchup1/8/2024 ![]() This forced me to learn this publishing software since I did not have someone assemble this for me. InDesign in 2016 – I had to learn this one recently because I had to create my own submission for my application for AIA Fellow. I feel solid about my abilities in this one also. SketchUp in the late 2000s – maybe October (which is right after it came out) I have an old SketchUp file that I found that was made in 2000 right after the software came out. ![]() At the time of use, it was a cutting-edge product for the architecture field to use. It was software that was mainly used in the movie industry. It was used to create some 3D models with the ability to paint surfaces on a 3D form. Truspace in 1997 or 1998 (same time as photoshop) – This one is a lesser-known software. This was a huge benefit of software knowledge and that was where I wanted to be. Knowing Photoshop allowed me to be present in meetings and out in front of clients. Photoshop in 1997 or 1998 – The big benefit for this at my firm was based on the fact that knowing this software kept me from having to complete details and that type of tedious work. I had all the skills necessary to go against any other AutoCAD user on the planet in 2003. I would claim that I hit my peak in AutoCAD supremacy in about 2003. I found some information that says it was once endorsed by the AIA as the software of choice.ĪutoCAD in 1996 – This one is of course still a standard in the industry. But it is still a product in usage and can be found here. Below are some highlights and a timeline of his representation software knowledge.ĭataCAD in 1995 – This company is actually still around and is a software used in areas outside the United States. So Bob started his timeline of software as he entered the workforce since there were no computers during his education. Well, probably not for the foreseeable future. ![]() This will probably never change for any architect. Of course over the duration of your career, you will learn different and new software. Timeline of learning that software jump to 11:18 There are not “drafting” courses, but the skills and methods for creating the “standard” orthographic drawings are taught and emphasized in the first year of study. ![]() Today Andrew can say that at his College, they do teach the basic ideas of creating architectural drawings. He also took an AutoCAD class from the engineering department since the architecture department did not offer it. During this class, they basically created a hand-drafted set of construction documents. It was actually a requirement for his degree. Andrew on the other hand took a hand drafting class specifically. He took some classes on drawing, but they were art-focused classes and not ones that pertained to the concept of “drafting”. When Bob was in school, as far as he can recall, he did not take any “drafting” classes during his time in school. In our experiences, it seems that this connection is getting lost and there are probably several reasons for this occurrence. So how is this related to the notion of creating graphics that read the way they should. I know this is not 100% true, but it is definitely a large majority. Almost all architecture graphics in architectural practice today is going to be generated from a computer. While it can be a specific representation or type of orthographic projection like plan or sections, but as we discuss it is basically the creation of computer drawings. When you hear the term “architectural graphics” what comes to mind for you? Is the thought dated in any way? jump to 3:33
