I'm glad I found this. I was trying to explain to a younger architect the tools that I used in commercial art in the early 70's, for the life of me I couldn't remember the name of the compass I used for my typography. I'm going to send this to him. My toolbox wasn't quite this elaborate but everything I had in my toolbox was in yours. Thanks
This brings back memories of my childhood when I used to snoop around my day's drafting table and most of what you have he had. That started my love of architecture.
I'm from Russia and as a graphic designer I used similar set of tools back in the days when computers were not in the game. It's also interesting to notice that here we didn't use some of the tools that you've shown e.g. that bag with eraser particles. BTW I almost laughed when you've shown your 2 metal rulers - Yes! Exactly the same!
At my university we teach traditional drafting over the course of the first year and continue the practice through all 5 years of the degree program. I actually have most if not all of those tools on hand right now. Nice video. (:
This is a good thing. We refuse to hire interns or even graduates with no experience because they do not know how to draw. They have spent 5 years clicking buttons and gazing at a LED display. Very little of their skills learnt in college have any practical use in an architecture firm. All architecture students should spend their first year drafting with a T-square and wooden pencils you have to point via a sanding pad. It makes you think about the line you are drawing. They should ink with a ruling pen with only a knife to fix errors. Again. it makes you think about the line, about the order of the drawings. The sad state is, drafting instruments of any quality are no longer made.
If i may but in, based on my experience, the education is very well rounded and rewarding. Its a perfect mix of arts, maths, sciences, and history courses. in school, you spend half the time listening to lectures and half the time in the studio which, in my opinion is way better than listening to lectures the WHOLE day. That being said, architecture as a course also takes up ALOT of your time and no matter how well you budget your time you will most definitely end up pulling all nighters.
@MrMaybeimdreaming100 I would recommend architecture as a major for anyone interested in design. You can do just about anything with an education in architecture. The same cannot be said for other design degrees.
i always admire architects and engineers. they fascinate me. i wanted to be like one, but unfortunately i don't have any skills or talent in this field.
Talk about bringing back memories. I have all the same stuff. I think the career is too sedentary and precarious though. Its one of those fields that could undergo a lot of change.
Thanks for the videos, I'm taking my first architecture class online this fall and just got my tools for class this week so I'm researching how to use them before class starts.I recieved a lot of these things. That lead sharpner confused me originally. I wasn't sure if I put the pencil or lead in the two little holes on the sides or the big hole in the middle.
I've always appreciated your videos...this one is pretty cool too. While many architects old and young now use computers--there are those of us who tend to sketch in meetings or with clients where using a computer or tablet just doesn't make sense. Like always...I have picked up a few pointers and sincerely appreciate the video series. Have a blessed day.//Chuck
Your videos are very helpful. I'm new to the field of Technical Drawing. I just started Drafting - Construction Drawing in a school in NY. One question, at about 3:20 you show what you have underneath the vinyl desk cover. Doesn't the vinyl conflict with the precise lines that need to be drawn onto the Velum paper? I'm not sure, I just thought I'd ask. Also, can you please teach us how to set up a Parallel Straightedge? The cables are are challenge to set up. Great Videos. Thanks
I wish i could buy those... seriously I want to be an architect someday which i will be taking for college and I really love to draw. Thank you for making me inspire by posting this videos.
I love the look & feel of this. That is the like 'handmade' style of doing this. I understand that hardware & software have probably taken this over, but I still like the feel of this. I am wondering where all these items a acquired from, any links would be appreciated. Thanks, Larry
I'll answer your questions since no one else has yet :). I have just finished my second year of University, studying to be an architect. To answer your first question, it is difficult in the sense that there is a lot of work, sleepless nights, and coffee will be your best friend. Secondly yes you need math and physics in high school; I suggest checking admission requirements to schools that interest you. But if you love what you do, it's all worth it!
hi everyone , I have a really good question , how can I keep my work sheet more cleaner, besides the solution what is presented in the video , thanks ;)
I am currently in 8th grade, and i recently decided i want to be an architect. Im not very good at drawing, but im ok at 3-d perspective stuff. Do i need to be good at other ways of drawing or will that be enough?
Hello Mr. Patt, May you give me a list of materials that I needed for my architecture class? Because I want to have the materials that I will need for me to become more confident in class :) Thank you
I am a b.tech (civil) student 1st year frm India. m facing abit hard time with this course. so i am planning to go fr architect. I wanted to go for architect at first place but my drawing skills r not gud. This thinking hold me back from joining architect :( ..Do u think that architect will b somehow easier than civil eng.?! Thou i hve alot of question in my mind relating to wht i wanna in future, but i just wanted to ask if its okey fr me to go for architect.
Yeah you can knead it to a small point to get tiny areas or flatten to pick up the graphite to make the area light I would recommend a regular eraser for getting large areas though
Engineers supply have triangles and templates. I have a even larger toy box. I have a slide rule and a complete set of mechanical pencils, plus fountain pens.
99knp hhhhhhh its not all about sketching and drowing there is alot of work and drowing with scale with measures with millimetres my advice to you guy's if you want to be an architect you have to work hard like hard hard and should have a free hand skill's and that's it ..... arch student firs year
LoL. That goes exact same for me as well. I have a ton of pencils and art supplies but in the end when it comes to drafting all I use is my trusty Mechanical pencil, Set squares, some leads and erasers, Parallel Bar, tape and a cutter. XD
Hello Mister... I'm just in my 2nd year in High School... And I REALLY WANT THIS COURSE! Can you tell me if it's too difficult? And does it require Math? 'Cause if it does, I'll definitely try hard on my math... It's fun I can see because I already do perspectives... Just simple ones, at least... Can you message me in my profile for your answer? Thank you, sir... Yours sincerely...

10 years laters and I have similar things. That metal ruler is so useful

Yes, I agree, I didn't see his t-square though. But I didn't watch the whole thing

wtf really? we learned this in first semester and then archicad lol
That was the Cliff notes of architectul tools. Loved it!

Well, you could just learn the skills in school.....
Don't let yourself down like that. Remember, hard work beats talent. And hard work really does pay off.
Hey that is a great alias! Ethernet cable!
I wish I had thought of something like that. Maybe Ironing board or Potato Peeler!
you don't need it naturally, you learn techniques and principles etc
lol u have more tools than i have used in my life. seriously amazing stuff u got there mr. patt.

Where did you get that pencil case from?
waht's the cable ties for? ^^

I just saw this, It's exactly what I have. It's still good to hand sketch, something the young kids cannot do.
"I have all these tools but I never use them"
hmm..
I want to become an architect
Me too
Maybe think twice about it. Tied too much to the economy. Bad economy very bad for architects.
@@joegotz1971 you are right ! that is a BAD CHOICE !!! if one is an architect, he is a slave of stupid people for his whole life !!

Could you tell me the list and how to buy them???? Thanks
@howtoarchitect you say you can do a lot with an architecture degree. like what exactly can you do?
what markers and pens do you use besides rapidograph?
do I need all of these tools as interior design students?
What skills are required for architecture?
What computor programs do you use?
You made me more dedicated to pursue Architecture in College :D Thank you very much
PS: I always watch your videos :)
If you want easy life then never join architecture this is not me saying this was said by zaha hadid one of the finest architect

its too late dude !! architecture wud have been a better choice !!
If you have confirmed your decision then, hurry up, admissions process is about to end.
AnU Dorjee
Now my friend i'm in 2nd year of civil engineering should i continue with that
To be an architect you must have a large imaginition
Where to buy the tool box you got
I used a fishing tackle box 😊
I wish I can afford to buy those materials for my daughter
You can! Cheer uppp
@ 2:40 what is that paper you use for sketching?? thanks.
Most if not all of those things are in my desk drawers, very funny to see I'm not alone in this.
what number x-acto do you use for model making?
hey, what is that stretchy eraser exactly ? is it useful for modeling ?Thanks !
+Diba it is kneaded eraser it is softer than the regular one
Yeah you can knead it to a small point to get tiny areas or flatten to pick up the graphite to make the area light I would recommend a regular eraser for getting large areas though
where did you get that art bin..and is it available on amazon?
The best boxes are for fishing tackle.
I saw those for sell at Michaels, so they are worth the money then?
What do u call that like a drawer or something? And where did u bought it?
Fishing tackle box
Hello where did you get your triangles from?
Engineers supply have triangles and templates. I have a even larger toy box. I have a slide rule and a complete set of mechanical pencils, plus fountain pens.
can I ask what is that thing that is a like a clay? thanks
Its called a Putty Rubber - they sell pretty cheap tbh
how much does this all cost?
my dream job
the same :D

whats the program called?
What happened to all your templates?
I want this box
Hi sir, tools name
Can i have your box? :D!
What was the name of the "metal guides letter" ? sorry.
I Wanted one of those when I go to College.
Someday i want all of this to be seen at my drawer ☺️ -soontobeanarchitect

What's an atomizer
Between the lines I hear "architecture is very hard because there are to many tools to buy for it."
i wanna have them all :)
un mae bien armado!.....pura vida!
Im a culinary student who into architecture stuff.
Thanks a bunch my friend!
I have autocad sketchup rhino photoshop illustrator and indesign, and a couple of pilot V5's
My dream job,, going to study it at Nust n I'm talented
@MrMaybeimdreaming100 watch my series called 'could you be an architect' and read my book. best, D
whew ..that was my bag look like inside but i have snacks too..
okay give me ur acrylic paints and brushes 😆
i came across a yard sale this one day and baught a suitcase full of this stuff for 5 bucksstill have 98% of it
How many years will it take an architect to buy all these
Very inspiring videos, keep it up! :)
Wait, a mechanical pencil sharpener?
Well, you also have to consider that he uses all this to make a living. Many professionals in different fields work with expensive equipment/tools.
That's great !😁
OOHRAH! Semper Fi
this what life is
Need more cowbell!
so cool
i have no clue what i am doing
issa gud ,,,soon to be one
I thought all design and drafting was done on computer by way of a CAD software? This is misleading!
No this was real life in the 70's and before.
In out your of 200 + materials I think I only have 20 of it,
Me-->soon to be archi student
thanks for that at last I know what you use cheers
@PowderpuffPuncher ArtBin
Affascinante
You need to buy some pencil. :O
Plzzzzzz... Reply
One thing, is to show us all of your collected drafting tools. And another, is to show us what you've done with them!
My school watched this
They are so many😵😵
My target
In my university....sharpeners is a big NO...:(.....lol
