Hi Everyone,

Hope you all had a great Easter!

I'm still traveling around Malaysia, and will be back by Monday the 8th for the extra Sketchup session on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings from 5:30-7:30pm.

If you have something specific you want to ask about sketchup, or some tricky geometry you are trying to make, come along to the sessions for some quick advice from either Rosamond Kember or I.

I've been scanning through the blogs whenever I have had the chance, and there has been very little activity on the blog-front. I assume it is because you have all been working sooo hard that you just haven't had time to post all of your wondrous work, and at the first chance you get, a flood of posts will inundate me... ;-j

A few quick pointers to keep in mind as you work:
  • Get your ground plane in! (Where is your building located?... country, and geography).
  • Constantly look at awesome stuff... it will help inspire you in your own work.
  • Consider all scales, from doorknobs to landscape.
  • Consider the relationships of elements within your building.
  • Consider the relationships between your clients and their respective and combined spaces.
  • Consider the vantage points and atmosphere you are trying to create (get inside your building and "feel" the spaces).
  • Be empathetic to your clients.
Look forward to seeing your work!
Jeremy
