MOUNT RUSHMOST

It is now hard to comprehend the professional system and the regulations that seem to persist as to how and why Architecture is what it is. Say one Architect graduated, got his degree, passed the bar, took an oath, and practiced. And as he continues to do so and decides to pursue his or her career or path to be what he or she longed to be, reality sets in. Suddenly the noise became louder, the news became stranger, the preachers look devilish, the leaders look stupid, the kids looked undesirable, stares and streets and properties and food and garbage and weather. Now, of all the skills one has acquired after, be it on any other profession, one should decide from several options presented which path to focus on. The word that comes to mind is 'Specialization'. Are you good at this and that or everything other than that. Like climbing up the stairs to Mount Rushmost, you should just proceed.

QUICK SKETCH, SCAN AND SHOPRENDER

A quick loose sketch and scan. You can sketch, scan and color any drawing in Photoshop within a few minutes. This technique could be applied to for floor plan and drawing presentations. Especially for building perspectives. It would be quite easy to do so especially when you are in a tight schedule. You do not really have to render every drawing in 3d Max. I have been doing this technique and still working on loosening up my sketching technique giving me time for more other tasks like the estimates. The result would not be the best sketch in the world by far, but it is quite cool enough for me.
