Let's say you had $6,000 to spend on architectural equipment, not including computers, monitors, or software. What would you buy? Anyone use an Intuos tablet? Are there inexpensive laser cutters or 3D printers out there? I'm looking for ideas....
i'd buy a motorcycle
i'm with puddles.
You can find places to use a laser cutter for free, even a three-axis router in certain cities. I wouldn’t spend my precious 6G’s on that. Tough question if you have to exclude computer/monitors/software. I would do either: 1). Nikon D300s 2). 24x36 color plotter 3). 6k worth of books 4). Moped (for commuting) 5). Trick out my office: new deck, chairs, tables, storage, pin-up space, paint
*desk
panel saw table saw drill sanders welder beater pickup truck laptop drill press grinders and still have money left over
A trip to Italy, Greece and Japan.
Is this for school? If so, I'd use it on alcohol and drugs, because when you are done with school and no job opportunities you can at least say you had fun and didn't waste all that money on arch. crap!
how about a nice escort
a worktable
Plotter.
an assistant.
id spend a couple hundo on a pair of really really really nice headphones...
bribes to an alderman to get a public project. LOL
Time Life desk chair (a vintage 4 spoke one) and some kick ass fountain pens
