I am really interested in drawing houses and I would like to learn more about the various techniques used in drawing architectural renderings with ink, markers, colored pencils etc. I’d also like to learn some basic information about architecture and different types of buildings and houses. What books would be helpful?
I have a great book called "The Architectural Drawing Course" by Mo Zell
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Architectural-Drawing-Course-Understand-Principles/dp/0500287287/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1270911234&sr=8-1
It has everything and it’s really simple and straightforward.
How to get architectural ideas for exterior design?? I’m a 3D artist but right now I’m completely out of the ideas. And I can’t find any idea in my head.
call the Yale School of Architecture and ask for Eucaleh Terrapin or Nathan Coppedge’s Eridianisme; I gave them free materials in packets some weeks ago, tell them to call (203) 285-4102 if they have questions or need references,
my websites are nathancoppedge.com (non-pseudonymous), and impossiblemachine.com; I have blogs at motism.blogspot.com, and 360.yahoo.com/drypress
otherwise e-mail me at terrapin@impossiblemachine.com and I’ll e-mail you a jpg with some very interesting characteristics (its what you would get from them approximately if they preserved the materials)
its based on feng shui, hyperdimensions, and philosophy, rather astounding,
I’d like to discuss ideas too if you want a temporary e-mail contact for consulting,
there may be a website up in a few years called "jengaarchitecture.com", assuming I have a little free cash to fund it, only requires 30 or 60 dollars a month, mostly constant regardless of commercial income
I have an essay to do for next wednesday, the question being:
Outline briefly the ‘biography’ of Stonehenge and discuss the social and ritual significance of the architectural and symbolic complexity of this monument.
I have researched into a few different theories that Stonehenge could have been used for. The fact that it could have been used to map the sky, and that it was used as a cemetery. Could anyone give me some other directions to go on this question?
Sorry for my english 
. Thanks in advance, Simon
It a simple solstice formation and used as a possibly magical/religious basis but I think using the word complex is going a bit far in comparison to other far more sophisticated sites.
I dont know which is the best to take up in college. is architecture the same as Architectural Engineering but just alot more to it? If you can give me a list of what both of them does.
The answer is what (each) of them does. That depends upon the company and its job requirements. They are similar as you may surmise from the titles. Get the college information on exactly what courses are core to each major. Architecture covers a lot of topics and most architects I worked with in heavy industrial companies were more focused on application rather than aesthetics. However the field changes depending upon the demand for architects. Some good architects are very busy with remodeling and renovation of existing structures. Others do only homes and I know some who specialize in things like hospitals which are rather specialized fields and the training will be more when you get the job and learn how the architectural firm works. So the college will have its own ideas on what you need to learn and what other classes are available. But your college record will tell a future employer whether you have had the necessary education for the jobs they have available. In many cases either major will satisfy the job requirements.
I know that egg and dart moulding, etc., is greek, but I think my house may be tudor or victorian. Just wondering which architectural style used egg and dart mouldings.
Egg and dart can be found in Victorian architecture as well as the revival styles that added more ornamentation. Here’s a link to various architectural styles:

i’m writing a paper on the Mayans and i’d like to elaborate on Mayan architectural contributions to modern civilizations.
Tikal in Guatemala, and Chichen-itza in the Yucatan, are two among many, of the greatest pyramidal structures in the world.
What’s the difference between these architectural programs?
BA in architecture
BS in architecture
Environmental Design
Thanks!
BA architecture means bachelor in arts architecture, and BS architecture means bacher in science architecture. Practically, these are same programs except the names are called differently in terms of schools. Mine’s called B.Arch = Bachelor of Architecture. These all are one same program for undergrad architecture program. Environmental Design, I actually have never heard of it as a separate program other than as a course in one of those programs. But I assume it studies environmental impact of buildings, counting up CO2 emissions and such? Go search schools. Schools all have different names for the program which is basically the same.
i need to see other peoples projects in the architectural field .. to compare and exchange ideas ! is that possible ?
try to check on http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=where%20can%20i%20find%20an%20online%20source%20where%20architectural%20students%20can%20exchange%20there%20projects
I am thinking about going for architectural interior design but I want to know what kind of classes I would have to take. Detail would be great. Thanks!
OK…if i were you here is what i would do…because you could get a mass of crazy answers on here and i could type up my entire 4 years but i do not really have the time for that.
Where do you want to go to school? Go to the schools website and any school will have a detailed list of classes that are required for any given major. That way you can see exactly what classes you would be taking at any school that you might choose to go to…because they can vary drastically from school to school. Good luck!
