How can you get better at architectural sketching? In this episode, I’m joined by the man, the myth, the legend – face of “Sketch Like an Architect” – David Drazil, to find out just that.
David talks about how you can be a better architect and use sketching to your unique advantage.
This 1:25 SCALED MODEL IS INCREDIBLE! In today’s episode of the Successful Archi Student’s Podcast, final year architecture student Jose Maria Alania explains his process of how he created his scale model of a triplex design.
Create 3D models of terrain, contours and topography using accurate data from Google Earth using Sketchup and Rhino. THE MOST UNDERRATED SITE MODELLING TOOL EVER.
In this Sketchup and Rhino tutorial, you’ll learn how to model a 3D site in less than 60 seconds.
It involves geo-locating a site from Google Earth in Sketchup, and then transferring that model to Rhinoceros 3D to create a NURBS surface 3D model of the chosen site.
This is something I’ve only just discovered after spending 2 hours+ modelling a site from referencing a contour map – and thought – surely there’s a better way to do this.
Sure enough, Sketchup and Rhino have a solution.
I hope you find this helpful!

On this episode of the Successful Architecture Student’s Podcast, I am honoured to have a chat with UX design professional Andrew MacDonald.
Andrew is on an unconventional journey to becoming an architect by creating a portfolio of his UX design work.
Two Universities have acknowledged his untraditional approach to study his masters and are in favour of this idea.
This will allow him to skip studying the 4-year bachelor degree.
On the show, you will listen to Andrew’s strategy to becoming an architect and it will allow you to open your mind to the various opportunities you have to achieving your goals and dreams.
