31 Most Essential Tools for Architecture Students 2020



Starting architecture school (and any other new course for that matter) can be stressful and intimidating, and none more so that not knowing what you’ll need to give yourself the best chance of doing well.

So here we provide a shopping list of the equipment we feel is the most necessary for any first-year architectural student about to start architecture school, and in fact any architectural student for that matter.

But please note that not all of this needs to be bought at once, it can be built up over time.

To summarise the Architects tool list:

The things that first-year architects need...

 

  • 101 things I learned in architecture school

  • A good set of drawing pens

  • A good set drawing of pencils

  • Modeling scalpel

  • Architect student bag

  • Scale ruler

  • Steel ruler

  • Cutting mat

  • Tablet

  • Architects handbook

  • Drawings tube

  • Metric handbook

  • Tracing paper

  • Ear Phones

  • Yes is more

  • Laptop

 

  • Laptop sleeve

  • Mouse

  • Sketchbook

  • Notebook

  • Sketchbook

  • Tape measure

  • Book of your favorite architect

  • Drawing board

  • UHU glue

  • Architectural graphics

  • Adjustable triangle

  • Mechanical pencil

  • Note-taking pen

  • Mitre Box Kit

  • Tool Box















When we first started architecture school, we were given the classic book and equipment architecture tool kit list that had been recycled year upon year, with a lot of it just not being relevant.

It was a good list, but we barely used half of what was recommended, with a lot of the books still collecting dust even now.

Every architecture school is different and will have specific reading lists for specific units and projects. What we provide here is an essentials list that can be applied to any school, which will hopefully guide and help you through your first year and the years to come…
