There is such a wide range of products available for architecture students it can be difficult to know which are essential. We\u2019ve compiled this list of our top Lucky 13 to help!<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. A set of quality pens and pencils: Our students tell us that the most important piece of equipment is a great pencil \u2013 even once they start doing most of their work digitally. You\u2019ll need a set of pencils for sketching and drawing and pens for both drawing and note-taking. We also stock a range of hard-wearing mechanical pencils which are particularly useful because they don\u2019t need sharpening!<\/li>\n
  2. Modelling scalpel and cutting mat: A sharp scalpel is essential for model making. It\u2019s worth investing in a quality scalpel that will last you for years. A good quality cutting mat will not only protect your desk but also provide a non-slip surface for modelling.<\/li>\n
  3. UHU glue: Buy a few tubes of UHU glue at a time to be cost-effective and make sure you don\u2019t run out when making your models.<\/li>\n
  4. Rulers: A scale ruler is essential as architects work with a variety of scales. It\u2019s also worth investing in a good steel ruler. Steel is much better for model making as you can\u2019t damage it with your Scalpel and it will last you forever!<\/li>\n
  5. Adjustable triangle: Adjustable triangles are essential both for modelling and for getting your angles perfect on drawing boards.<\/li>\n
  6. Small mitre box kit: Although a mitre box isn\u2019t essential, it\u2019s easier to cut edges at an angle using a mitre box rather than freehand when modelling.<\/li>\n
  7. Drawing tube: Architecture students do a lot of drawings, and you\u2019ll want to be able to transport these easily without them getting damaged or torn. A drawing tube is a great solution.<\/li>\n
  8. Tracing paper: It\u2019s good practice to always have a stack of tracing paper on hand as it\u2019s essential for overlaying plans.<\/li>\n
  9. Notebooks and sketchbooks: In order to stay organised it\u2019s useful to have all your sketches in one place. A good sketchbook will save you headaches when you\u2019re organising your projects. Similarly, a notebook with a hardcover will keep all your notes together. As you will be forever pulling in and out of your bag, the stronger the better.<\/li>\n
  10. Tape measure: As well as being the quickest way to measure things when you\u2019re on a project, a tape measure is also a useful tool for developing your design knowledge. When you\u2019re out and about if you notice that buildings seem to be too tight or too wide, it\u2019s useful to be able to measure them for future reference.<\/li>\n
  11. Drawing board: Drawing boards can be expensive, and they are by no means essential if you have access to one at college. However, if you can invest in one, even if it’s small, it\u2019s likely to take the pressure off when projects are due.<\/li>\n
  12. A strong bag: Architects accumulate a lot of equipment so it\u2019s essential to have a quality bag that\u2019s strong enough to take some weight and comfortable to carry, especially when going on site visits.<\/li>\n
  13. Toolbox: Similarly, it\u2019s useful to have a good strong toolbox to keep all your modelling equipment safe and organised.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
