Every society displays its heritage and culture through various forms of art, one of which is architecture. From the pillars of museums to the domes of churches, the design of each structure is brought forth by the creative geniuses who have rigorously studied every technique and undergone years of training in architecture. As architects plan the design of buildings, they have to present them through conceptual sketches that have the right dimensional scales. For students and professionals from the field of architecture, each tool needed for scaling is part of the AlumiColor Standard Architect Set (Silver) 3705-1.

Because every product that is included in this package is made of solid aluminum, architects can be assured that this set can fulfill their scaling needs for life. The architect set consists of a standard T-square, hollow architect scale, and pocket architect scale. All of these rulers have the ability to resist corrosion and enough durability to endure harsh elements found in construction sites. These rulers are also lightweight so that architects on the go can easily carry them everywhere.

Drawing long horizontal lines won’t be difficult since the standard T-square measures 24 inches in length. Because of its tempered aluminum shaft, each line that is drawn on design proposals will be as straight as an arrow. With the help of its black ABS plastic head, the T-square can be secured onto either edge of the drawing board when aligning other drafting instruments or drawing lines evenly. For a secure assembly, the ABS plastic head is attached to the shaft by 5 sturdy screws. Every structural element needs to be accurately measured so that the building will be designed with equal proportions, which is why the shaft of this T-square has graduations for convenient measurement.

When it comes to getting measurements at a fixed ratio, architects have to measure with scale rulers. Be it a large scale drawing or a small conceptual sketch, the Standard Architect Set can support the scaling needs of professionals with its 12-inch long hollow architect scale and 6-inch long pocket architect scale. These scale rulers have 3 sides on its cross-section construction that provide different units and proportion of lengths so that architects can use them as reference for scaling.

Calibrations along the shafts of these rulers are photo anodized to prevent wear and provide its users a clear view of the measurements. Because of their durable and permanent finish, architects can design with these tools as long as they live.

When illustrating design proposals, architects can always rely on each high-quality tool included in the AlumiColor Standard Architect Set (Silver) 3705-1. With the use of this set, conceptual structures can display the most intricate of details for a vivid artistic expression. Available for order here on Engineer Warehouse.
