Hello everyone and welcome back to another Sunday Blogging. Today we will be looking at one specific company named Stratasys.

Stratasys is a company that works with 3d printers and has made themselves well known within the 3d technology world. Stratasys works with other companies such as MakerBot (Another 3d printing company) and has proven that anything is possible with these new technologies. Stratasys has built everything from shoes to little bunny rabbits and continue to innovate each and everyday and are sure to get to architecture at some point.

Stratasys History- Stratasys was founded in 1989 by married couple S. Scott Crump and Lisa Crump in Eden Prairie, Minnesota. Founder S. Scott Crump was tired of past prototyping processes so he invented Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) in 1988 where he mixed wax and plastic creating a really-strong material. Once FDM was implemented within the company it became the best-selling rapid prototyping technology. Ever since the company's stardom many new 3d printers have come along such as the

                                             

   

                        S Scott. Crump(Founder)

                                    

                               Ilan Levin(C.E.O)

Over the years Stratasys has found many ways to get closer to their users and continue to make sure their users get the best out of anything. Programs such as Thingiverse and GrabCAD are just some of ways Stratasys has gotten closer to their users.

I wanted to discuss this company because it may be a major part of new architectural design. As I have mentioned before, people are starting to build 3d printed houses. Well Stratasys has an array of 3d printers that may also be able to get the job done. If they don’t have one to build an entire house now, they are sure to have it in the future. Their innovations have changed the world of 3d printing. This company really is the company of the future.

Thank you guys. I will be seeing you again on January 15, 2017

Hello everyone and welcome back to another Sunday blogging. Today we’re going to be talking about innovations in the architecture world that has changed the way life is now.

Over the years there has been absolutely insane new technology made. From virtual reality to phones that can actually present holograms on the screen. It’s crazy what the current generation has invented. New innovations from programs such as City Engine by ESRI has changed the way we look at architecture and will continue to help for generations to come.

ESRI's city engine allows users to build buildings within a community and actually see what the building would look like within that community. This technology will change architecture because architects wouldn't have to rely on drawings that must be perfect to make sure everything goes smoothly. With the invention of City Engine architects will be able to see a physical picture of what the city would look like with the users building there.

Another great program that has changed the architecture world is REVIT Architecture

REVIT architecture allows its users to actually go into detail with almost every aspect of a home. From plumbing to electric circuits REVIT architecture has surely proved that it wants its users to be really educated with architecture. I personally have used this program and I absolutely enjoyed using it. The program is very easy to use and even if a user doesn't know how to use it, there are thousands 

of tutorials on YouTube to help with that.

This image displays the parts of mechanical engineering
where REVIT gets really detailed and shows the user
 every part to creating a home.

I hope you guys enjoyed today's blog and I will definitely be seeing you guys next week for another Sunday blogging.

     Hello everyone and welcome back to another Sunday blogging. Today I’m going to mix it up a little and have today’s topic be design hacks that can also be used a daily life hacks. I feel that it is important to be able to incorporate your designs in your everyday life as some people would decorate their home for a time but then throw away what they have if they don’t like it anymore. A person should always be able to embrace their furniture all year ‘round and not just for the holidays.

     The first hack I want to talk about is using wool (if you’re not allergic) within your home design. Wool can be used to make different things such as blankets for a bed or simply a throw on a sofa.

Not only is the throw a nice accent piece to the furniture but it can also serve as a warm comfortable blanket which is needed now as we go into Winter.

The next hack involves using a stone or pebble floor mat not only as a decoration but to keep your shoes from tracking the house floor as well. Floor mats with stones or pebbles are not only modern and in style but they bring a nice low tone to a room as they mostly consist of black or brown stones/pebbles. They are for sure to turn guest’s heads and show that you have style and functionality.

I hope you guys enjoyed today’s post and I will definitely be posting for you once again next Sunday.

Hello everyone and welcome back to another Sunday blogging. Today we’re going to be talking about the future. What can be in our homes, how they will work, and how much of an impact they will have. Architects and scientists have come up with some of the most mind boggling inventions and these inventions will be implemented faster than you think.

One of the first big inventions that changed the architecture world is 3D printing. With 3D models architects are now able to look at what a house may look like before actually placing it somewhere in the world. Some 3D companies such as Chinese construction company HuaShang Tengda actually print functioning homes with 3D technology.  The company has built entire houses in just under a day and have built two-story homes in just a month and a half.

This is one of the most famous 3D houses printed by HuaShang

Tengda. It has been considered a "Chinese Mansion" and was

built in just 45 days. SO INSANE!!!

Programs such as Autodesk have really changed the game. Autodesk has introduced a variety of ways to be innovative; some of their most famous programs and some of my favorites are Autodesk homestyler and AutoCAD architecture.

Many professionals use these programs when starting because they are great way to learn how to design a definitely make a home yours. I definitely learned and benefitted so much from these programs. I always knew I wanted to be an architecture/ Interior designer and with these programs I will definitely reach these goals.

Hello everyone and welcome back to another Sunday blogging. As you guys know the Holidays are coming and Thanksgiving is just around the corner. It’s the time in November where the temperatures get cooler, where people snuggle in their homes to stay warm, and most of all the time where people eat the biggest feast of their lives. I decided to be such a helpful person and give you guys some tips to decorate your home for thanksgiving and hope you guys are thankful and use these tips in your life.

This first hack will show you how to make a decorative Cornucopia. All you will need is fabric, Styrofoam balls and some paint.

First just shape your fabric into the famous cone shape of the cornucopia and you can either staple or tape any corners to keep the cone shape. Shape and paint the Styrofoam balls and place them into the fabric (you can leave some just on the outside for a realistic Cornucopia effect) you can also add wiring for security and instead of Styrofoam balls you can just buy fake fruits and vegetables to add to the cornucopia.

Want to change your house up a bit yet keep that Thanksgiving/fall tone throughout the house. Go for more dull or darker undertone colors such as reds,oranges, browns, yellows, and some dark greens Not only will these colors show your pride for Thanksgiving, they are all neutral and can stay nearly all year round which makes your life a whole lot easier when it comes to your home design and décor.

Hope you guys enjoyed today's blog and I will definitely be seeing you guys next week with another.

Oh and by the way

Welcome back to another Sunday blogging. Today we are going back to architecture. Architecture is the process and the product of planning, designing, and constructing buildings and other physical structures. Architecture has helped many people throughout the years. Architecture has been around for as long as 4500 BC. Many of our oldest architectural structures can be found in the continent of Europe where structures such as Barnenez (4850 BC), Knap of Howar (4700 BC), and Ggantija (4500 BC) can be found. 

Barnenez built in 4850 B.C was used as a grave and is the oldest structure known today. It is located in France, Europe. It contains 11 chambers and weighs as much as 14,000 tons.

Knap of Howar was built in 4700 B.C located in Scotland, Europe and is maybe the oldest preserved stone house in northern Europe. The structure still contains stone furniture such as a fireplace, beds and storage shelves. Evidence also shows that the structure was used as a farmstead where animals such as cattle and sheep were kept.

Ggantija also known as "giants tower" built in 4500 B.C located in Malta, Europe is one of the oldest Megalithic temples and is older than Egyptian pyramids. There is a folklore about the place that there was a giantess that ate nothing but broad beans and honey had a child with a local man and she built the place with the child hanging from her shoulder and used it as a place of worship.

Hope you guys enjoyed today's blog and learned a good deal information.

     Hello everyone and welcome back to another Sunday blogging. As you guys know the fall season is ending and winter is approaching. Our temperatures are changing and it is becoming cooler and cooler by the minute. And if you guessed, you’re correct! Today we’re talking getting into the winter mood with design hacks.

The first hack is to just set the tone for winter. All you will need is paint. This hack all about getting those winter colors. Blues, whites, and grays are the sure way to go if you want to turn your home into a winter wonderland.

If you don’t want to exactly be in a wonderland but would rather have your own “summer” dorm within your home you can just use warmer colors such as reds, oranges, yellows, and neutral colors.

Do you want to have a natural feel for winter? Well, have we got a solution for you! All you need is a

Pine leaf

A Vase

Water

Adding pine leaves to a water filled glass emits the natural smell of pine and also makes a great decoration for winter

 

Now your home smells natural and just like a fresh pine forest

Next, you can create gigantic snowflakes out of popsicle sticks. These snowflakes can be put either outside or inside. Don’t forget to paint them to really make them pop

For this last décor all you need is a mason jar and a candle. You can easily create a candle holder and even add some ribbons, glitter and even pine cones to get into that winter vibe and bedazzle the holder.

Hello everyone and welcome to another Sunday blogging. As you guys know Halloween is approaching fast, so I thought I’d get in the Halloween spirit as well. Today is about how to make easy and simple decorations to spook up your home for Halloween.

Are you tired of carving pumpkins that eventually just rot in your yard after Halloween? Well guess what? You can kiss those rotting things goodbye because all you need to make a jack o’ lantern is a tin can and a candle.

The process is pretty simple just carve what you want into the can (you can make holes easily with a hammer and a nail, please be careful when using these tools) after you get the shape you want in the can place a candle inside and now you have a jack o’ lantern that won’t rot once Halloween is over and you can even use it for the year after.

Do you want your house to be floating with ghouls but don’t want to pay the expensive price for them? All you need to do is buy chicken wire. Yes! Chicken wire! Weird right? With chicken wire you can mold the wire into ghostly shapes and paint over the wire afterwards. This for sure will get people’s skin crawling.

For an extra effect you can paint the chicken wire with glow in the dark paint and watch your ghouls walk at night.

Creepy isn't it?

This last hack is definitely outside of the box. Do you want to have a scary pumpkin but have to carve it and deal with the mess inside of it? Just use buttons or just simply use a marker. After Halloween is done you can still carve the pumpkin but this time you can actually eat it.

You can also use glow in the dark paint

Hello everyone, I'm back with another blog. Today I am continuing the blog on DESIGN and organization HACKS! Today will be about organization hacks that are easy and trendy. These hacks will definitely spice up any room.

For the first hack you will need

.Washi tape

.double sided scotch tape

Use the double-sided tape to tape your picture to a wall however you like.

Use the Washi tape to create any design you want around the picture and now you have a nice “picture frame”.

The best part about this hack is that the you don't have to worry about drilling holes in your wall that may stay there forever. Whenever you don't want the picture you have up to be up anymore you can just take it off your wall and tape a new picture up.

The next hack is mainly for children. Many households today have small children so it would be fair to consider them as well.

For this hack you will need

Hello everyone and welcome back to another Sunday blogging! Today is going to be a little different. Today I am going to be giving you guys some tips on how to choose a color scheme for any room in your home or anywhere else.

Tip-1 simply choose a color that you want to work with and let the creativity flow from there

Tip-2 Choose a color scheme based on the largest pattern in the room as that pattern will stand out and 

choosing a matching color or even matching pattern will neutralize everything.

Tip-3 Start with more formal areas. Start with choosing colors for areas such as the living and dining room and choosing an accent color from that scheme to put somewhere else such as the office or den to tie everything together.

Tip-4 The easiest thing to is to use the color wheel as it provides different colors along with different shades of those colors. They also work very well and maybe best for bedroom designs.

This is the color wheel it provides different sets of colors and provides the different colors within those colors to designers have a wide variety of color to choose from.

Tip-5 Add your personal touch. Adding your own special touch to a room can make choosing design colors more fun and original. Designing shouldn’t be stressful, we can have a bit of fun too.

Tip-6 pick colors based on emotion. No, that doesn’t mean if you’re angry go paint a room red. It simply means color a room based on how you want the person walking in it to feel. The color wheel also deals with the emotional components of color. If you want someone to walk in and be calm go with more beiges and greys and if you want someone to be happy you would put up bright colors such as green and yellow. Colors do have an effect on emotions and we should take that into consideration when designing.

P.s you can find these tips and more if you just visit hgtv.com 

Hello guys i'm back! Today is all about Landscape Architecture. If you do not know what landscape architecture is, it is exactly what it sounds like, The design of public or environmental areas. This form of architecture has been around for ages since the 1700’s to be exact. Landscape architecture has shown people that even the natural world can be designed and organized as well as buildings can and doesn’t have to just be there when you walk outside.

-

If you want to see a good deal of landscape architecture, I would definitely recommend the Fairchild tropical botanic garden. It is huge and has many places to see. They have different areas where you can visit and even have them divided by different biomes such as desert, rainforest, etc... They have many different plants and art decorations displayed and if you look closely you may find a few weird animals you may never normally see.

Landscape architecture has a long history so it's no surprise that it has changed and evolved over time. Today there are six main parts of landscape architecture (Site planning, urban design, land development, parks and recreation, ecological and environmental design, and heritage conversion)

Site Planning- Organization process and determining the appearance of land site

Urban Design-shaping the physical setting for communities

Land Development-The altering of a landscape

Parks and Recreation- design of parks, open spaces, and recreational areas

Ecological and Environmental design- modifying public areas with existing natural space

Heritage Conversion- The protection of landmarks and historical sites or items

This is the landscape planning drawing of Four seasons resort in Orlando, Florida

Hello guys I’m back with another Sunday blogging and today is all about home décor, mainly DIY’s.

I absolutely love DIY’s they are super easy to make and most of all cheap. DIY is the new trend in home décor and has taken the world by storm. DIY’s if I’m being honest just make life simpler.  They have become so popular among people because it showed everyone that they don’t have to spend an arm and a leg to have nice home décor, just grab a few old home items and a pair of scissors and get creative!

My experiences with DIY's have been great and I have no complaints whatsoever about them.
 
 This is one of my favorite DIY's because it helped me with organization in my bedroom. As you can see I have a chalkboard in my room. The chalkboard came with magnetic chalk holders that unfortunately did not really work as they constantly fell off the chalkboard breaking the chalk. To fix this problem I simply took an empty coca-cola bottle and cut it into a simple cup shape, labeled it chalk, and pinned it to my wall this has helped keep my chalk in order and organized and I don't have to worry about them constantly falling.



I also really love this DIY which is a Shoe-box desk organizer. This was so much fun to make and although it took a long time it was worth it because it looks great.

                                     Here's how to make your own (; Credits to Lolly Isabel

The last DIY I wanted to show you guys is a decorative sand DIY
The "sand" holder I have on the left is also made from two Coca-cola bottles (  Yes I know, I drink a lot of soda (; I can't help it) they are actually two bottle tops that are hot glued facing each other. I used blue tape to cover the where I hot glued them together. The holder on the right is simply made from a jelly jar. The reason I put quotation marks on "sand" is because a lot of people actually go out and buy sand which can get expensive sometimes. You can go out and get sand but if you're like me, you would DIY that as well. My "sand" is actually salt and sugar colored with blue and green food coloring. When you color your sugar or sand please make sure they are completely dry because if you don't they will do just like mine and the colors will blend. I would recommend you let them dry overnight.

There's so many things people can do with DIY's and my motto for my DIY's is "when life gives you lemons make apple juice" otherwise meaning do the impossible.
