Autocad, Pinterest and Archdaily.

Autocad is a software that I use to draw on my laptop, I draw plans, sections, elevations and axonometrics. I didn't know how to use many other softwares like sketch up or ilustrator so autocad is my expertise. I learned to use autocad on my second year at university when in workshop we had a unit about drawing and representation. I had to draw an existing house by a famous architect named Richard Meier, and the house it's called Shamberg House. 

                                               

At the beggining I found it very difficult and complex, there are a lots of commands that you need to mesmerize like trim, scale, move, rotate, undo, undo, undo, and undo, mistakes are common when you are drawing, but at the fifth hour of drawing it start to make sense and you become more handy and competent.

I use Autocad every week when I'm not on vacations because on workshop you have to show something new about the project every class. Sometimes I can spend all night on autocad trying to draw a plan or a section.

                                                    

When my mind goes blank, I search on Pinterest or Archdaily projects that are related to my ideas of what I'm doing and also about how to express something in the draw. At the beggining I only used pinterest to search things about architecture but now I use it to search about juicy plants, cactus and terrariums that is my new hobby.
