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

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.

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.

     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.
Wool Throw | Ivory and Gray Blanket:
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.
Just finished this mat to go with my Bathroom Redo. It has a peculiar providence, I was mooching around the CB2 website, doing a little window shopping and I spotted a cool pebble mat like this fellow for $54. Me: 'Hey, I had that idea too!' I just didn't get around to doing it!" My Sweetie: "So you're saying they stole your idea from inside your head?" Me, kinda indignant: "YEAH" Him: "Would you like me to make you a tinfoil hat?" Crazy aside, here's how I made the mat. You will need: 1 Rub...:


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