any one else got a favorite bag or other item which they might considder or that they have observed an unsual trend among fellow architects for a particular love of an item which could be considdered he quintessential architectural/architects accessorie?
thanks for the link, fergus...great work there by boyd cody.
as for an accessory...this is kind of like the 'dress emo' game of a few years back...hmmm...i'd have to say dark frame metal or plastic rimmed glasses...either obnoxiously round or quite square.
Architects are also most often the ones in their clique always armed with a writing utensil...and a cool one at that....Rotring, anyone?
these things used to be everywhere, the only thing my office ordered. now, a couple of year later, i have to search them out because they've been pushed off the shelf for the new curvy, cushion-grip models. now i'm buying 'em by the case.
fav bag? jack spade has the greene street and warren street messenger bags. my personal fav is the green street day bag. not too big. not too small. fits a powerbook and a few choice magazines, as well as a cell and ipod. nordstrom i'm sure you don't have to go shopping at quite such a horrible store as nordstrom, but the jack spade website is slow and only shows it in red?
anyone know where to cool tubes, I realy liked the old fashoned oned with leather in the outsude that have a button fastening when I was in helsinki a few years ago Aaltos office had a good few lying around and the academic bookshop sold them downstairs but they were about 125euro each. I had some friends that had nice white plastic ones but the shop in dublin (where I'm studdying) stoped selling them! and my own well there was that little mishap it had while I was cycling in for a crit one day and the strap broke. All I could do was look around and watch in disbelief as a large articulated lorry ran over my tube with my presentation drawings in it!
any one know a web site that sells cool drawing tubes?
I heard leibskind now only wears cowboy boots!? something to do with a simbol of america a pioneering spirit and freedom or some other shite apparently
I know two young architects that started a practice that carry rotring fountains - in black. I wanted to be an associate just for that. Damn came here instead
a nicely silenced AK47 for those clients meetings. you can also go postal with it when you don't get selected for the 157th competition you took part in.
The quintessential architectural accessories
what do you reckon? there is a firm of architects here in Ireland who all have a penchant for these bags

It's the greatest writing utensil ever known to man. I buy in bulk as well.
the Sign pen...
fat lines, thin lines...its perfect!
anyone remember that cool wallet that someone posted here?
Cool glasses are passe, everyone is wearing them these days, my lawyer client wears a cooler pair than I do for chrissake.
My favorite accessory that screams "architect" is a roll of drawings. I just carry them around with me everywhere I go.
liberty bell...ah the Matt Dillon architect role in 'something about mary'.
i always carry a roll as well. i like to roll them out at the local cafe and act like i am being creative.
Individual designs - Nice!

all bags are different, and can be custom cut. there is a web interface to cut your own bag from available tarpaulins . . .
Heh... "Sucking some data..."
i'm with mickmack, the sign pen is my favorite disposable writing instrument...
i have also been considering picking up one of the greene street bags mentioned above.
my most valued bit of kit is my sunglasses though. i love walking into a meeting full of stodgy old rich people with my shades on.

the "home" accessory.
fergus, but the question is...are those boot adorned with 1776 silver studs?....magic numbers after all.

frat dude with 2 pair of goggles not included
is that you, Richard?
I'm afraid - very afraid
nah, is not me. that's my buddy holding up my "missunderstanding-solving" machine
jokes aside, i just thought that anyone holding a gun and pulling that face should be wrapped in gaffer tape and thrown off a cliff. think about it...
My last design studio teacher caught on and got himself a pair of these!
I can't believe this hasn't been mentioned.

Our architecture school studio "four food groups" were coffee, beer, aspirin, and anything-that-comes-wrapped-in-plastic.
Of course now the government has the food pyramid, not the four food groups, so who knows.
hmm no rum?
