Architectural Technologist – NIST Unveils Plan for Smart Grid Interoperability

September 30, 2009 in CAD, Vectorworks

WASHINGTON - MAY 18:  U.S. Commerce Secretary ...

Taken in part from an article on .facilitiesnet.com, this article looks a pulling together all information and plans for a smart grid in the USA

September 2009

An accelerated plan for developing standards to transform the U.S. power distribution system into a secure, more efficient and environmentally friendly Smart Grid and create clean-energy jobs has been recently released.

Produced by the Commerce Department’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the approximately 90-page document identifies about 80 initial standards that will enable the vast number of interconnected devices and systems that will make up the nationwide Smart Grid to communicate and work with each other.

These standards will support interoperability of all the various pieces of the system—ranging from large utility companies down to individual homes and electronic devices.

I have a deep seated interest in this subject, so was pleased to find this article and will follow up on it over the next few weeks to keep track of it, I think its worth at least 1/2 cpd so far,

Archiectural Technologist – Fonts, an expression of who you are

September 25, 2009 in CAD, Vectorworks

Helvetica Poster
Image by //endless∞ via Flickr

I have just watched, Helvetica, the film, I purchased it on iTunes library and put it onto my iPhone for viewing on a trip I made yesterday, hence the lack of any post, I was amazed at the influence this simple clean font has made to the world. The film is I suppose, is a documentary, of the people who use it, and the history of the people who created it, plus, I might add, a small number of people who rebel against it, It’s a film that we as Architectural technologists should watch, Our drawings and details should reflect something of our character in them,.When I first started, I was taught to write in a clear upright way, so my drawings were clear, and reflected the office I worked for. Doug Patt of How to Architect has a useful video on Youtube, I don’t like the way he writes in this, but its his style and he likes it. I prefer to use lines, this is good, but uses a square to line with, NO, not so good. You should line, and write freestyle, but how can I criticise, my father write like this, its very popular.

So now we are in the 21st century, and most if not all of us use CAD, I wanted to continue my style, and choose a font that I think reflected me,and my writing, and picked Tekton Pro, designed  by David Siegel, in the USA, is a good clean font that looks good on my drawings, its available from just about any font web site, I recently have been buying from Fonts.com, they have a very easy to use interface and loads of similar fonts, like Architectural package by Kasier Rae,  or Stylus BT. Your just going to have to wander about and find a font that suites you, but above all, choose a font, do not rely upon the default set by the CAD package. Do we design our drawings as pieces of art, yes, of course we do, I always like to send out drawings that look good, I want people to say, that its a nice drawing,, a technologist was behind this.

Perhaps I should write my own font , I will call it Architectural Technologist, I had a long search, of almost 10 mins to see if any one else had made a font called Architectural Technologist, and there is none, so here  on this site I register it’s name and in the coming weeks I will list a new font for the technologist based upon my writing style.

So watch the film, is it CPD, yes, its design, learn the difference between fonts, and just what an impact a different font can make to a drawing, and to you.
