Architect first - for around $1000 typically you will get site consultation, a few sketches showing what you said you wanted, and a preliminary (by the book) cost estimate - that you can use to figure if your budget or scope of work needs major adjustment. Then, if you go ahead, typically about 10-20% of total project cost for complete plans and specs (including above cost), depending on complexity and level of interior design detail, and if construction inspection services are included.

Generally, nothing is free with an architect - unlike a contractor where a bit of consultation and a rough estimate is a lead-in to the actual work he hopes to get (the construction/repair) and part of his bidding cost, an architect (and engineer) makes his living giving advice and consultation and developing designs and cost estimates - so giving it away for free is sort of like a dentist doing sample fillings for free. Some will come to your house to discuss your concepts for 15-20 minutes for free, basically to see if they want to take you on as a client or feel your job is the type or size they want, but you should expect little or nothing in the way of a design or cost estimate for free - the most you might get would be an opinion on whether it sounds, off the cuff, like your budget is roughly in line with your desired scope of the project.

On more complex or up-scale remodels, it is not unusual to contact several architecture firms and request proposals - where they basically come see the site, then give you a sketch or few or more common today, computer-generated altered photos of your place, showing conceptually what they can do for you, then you choose the one you like the most and go with that one for final design. Typically $500-1000 range fee (each) to get that done for small jobs, larger jobs will typically be no charge but that assumes probably $25-50,000 plus anticipated fees if they get the job.

The world of design be it architectural or graphic is hampered by the ability of designers to express the purity of their ideas in a format others can visualize. All too often, these ideas become fragmented, fractured, or otherwise mangled in the translation from the brain to the printed page. In the past, designers relied on the fluidity of their pens their ability to draw, paint or model in the physical world to express their ideas. With the addition of computer technology, we, as designers, have yet another tool to help us express our ideas. I must, however, be perfectly clear that all the computers and technology in the world can not overshadow fundamental design skills that must be learned in an analog nature. Computers and advancing digital technology are merely a supplement to an arsenal that we all, as designers, must develop. While this class is for architects, I use the term designers instead as I find it to be a better indicator of the importance of everything we create. Each drawing you produce, each computer model you build, even each paper you hand in for your english class must have design within it. By electing to study this field, you are electing to become a designer: a title which does not come lightly. You must think about everything you produce as it is a reflection of yourself, your energy, your emotion, your ideas. With the word designer in mind, I offer this course as an introduction to the digital tools that will help you showcase your ideas your designs. While it is quite impossible to cover every software program, every piece of hardware, and everything digital in between, this class attempts to expose the highlights of digital design. It is a working class, one that requires participation, one that demands a hands-on, down-and-dirty approach to the subject material. You must do in order to understand the why.

With that, we begin

OUR LOCAL GEOGRAPHY (however, we design projects ALL over the USA and the World):

At the south end of the Appalachian chain of mountains are the Blue Ridge Mountains. Several small mountain villages are located in that area. We are a residential architect there: we are one of a handful of Cashiers NC architects. Down US Highway 64 east, is Lake Toxaway. Not quite to far to the east, coming toward Cashiers, is Sapphire. In the other direction (west on 64) is Highlands NC.

Going back in the other direction on 64 (farther east) , is Brevard. Down in South Carolina, lies Seneca SC, and a way to the west down there, is Greenville. A little closer to Asheville, along 64, is Mills River. There is a small town between Lake Toxaway and Asheville : Etowah.

There is more, much more in the Western North Carolina mountains and in the Piedmont: In the larger city a bit more east (a big city to us village-dwellers), is Asheville. A ways to the far east is the even larger metropolitan area: Charlotte NC. We may design anything there, as we are also commercial architects and our senior staff architect, Rand Soellner AIA/NCARB, was co-project manager, co-designer and detailer on a significant mid-rise condominium housing project in metro Charlotte, North Carolina.

And there are still more WNC places: To the north of Cashiers lies Cullowhee. To the NW is Franklin. East of this is Sylva, North Carolina. To the northeast of Cashiers is Waynesville. To the northeast of that is Canton. Just south of Asheville is Fairview, NC. Beyond Asheville lies Mount Mitchell.

We are available to provide residential design services in the following places: Moscow, Paris, the Cliffs, Cashiers NC, Highlands. We also work as: Old Edwards Club Architects, Highlands Cove Architects and Luxury Residential Architects.

In addition, we provide comprehensive services in these roles: Log Home Designers, Luxury Home Design, Energy Star Architects, Healthy Home Architecture.

ADDITIONAL AREAS WHERE WE PROVIDE CUSTOM HOUSE DESIGN SERVICES:

We also will design houses that happen to be located in: Seneca SC, Franklin, Sylva NC, and the Biltmore area. We also will assist you if you are in Florida, Virginia, Hollywood, Montana, Orlando.

We are designing an estate residence in West Virginia now, in the Daniels/Glade Springs area and also design for these other places Miami, Palm Beach, and Ocala FL . Colorado is one of our targeted market areas, as people from there have told us our house designs fit in well in that mountainous region. So, we are pleased to offer our skills in these areas: Aspen CO, Telluride, Colorado City.

Also, Atlanta, Georgia is nearby our base of operations, as is Macon, Newnan, and further south, Savannah.

And finally, we will design custom houses for you in these places: Buckhead, Richmond VA, Montana, Big Sky, Jackson Hole, Beverly Hills, California.

WHEREVER YOUR SITE IS LOCATED, WE WILL BE HAPPY TO PROVIDE A DESIGN FOR YOU.

Between Sunday, May 17 and Monday, May 18 projects developed under the second phase of Espacios de Paz(Spaces of Peace) were inaugurated in five cities across Venezuela. A genuine exercise in participative design, 20 Latin American architecture groups worked for five weeks with communities in neighborhoods dominated by violence, high dropout rates and crime to convert deteriorated and abandoned spaces into public places of peace.

For each project, four groups of young architects worked together to carry outa process of dialogue, research, design, and ultimatelythe construction of either an athletic, social or educational facility to be administrated by the local community. Espacios de Paz is coordinated by the local office of PICO Estudio, with guidance from public institutions and under the leadership of Isis Ochoa, the High Presidential Commissioner for Peace and Life.

ArchDaily en Espaol Editors, Nicols Valencia M.and Jos Toms Franco, were invited by PICO Estudio to document and view the five projects in their final phase of construction and speak with the architects and community representatives about the development of the projects and some of the challenges faced in the process.

Learn more about each of thefive projects after the break.
