Is SketchUp architectural design by 4 year old young possible?


From the source of Anthony Rigg, an Architect by profession & a father of a four year old son has shared his experience. He is been really amazed to see his junior made a simple 6 block mansion. He knew that his son likes playing with blocks. So he thought to show Sketchup tools and tried to familiarize things for him. He didn't expect much at that time from him that he would be able to figure out these 3D modeling concept in his mind.

It was very surprising for Anthony to see his son after half an hour later that he actually could design a small mansion with little playing blocks. Jed loved it to do, he said. He also added, “I think it is incredible what the unadulterated minds of children can produce.”

Google Sketchup makes design so easy that even a 4 year child can do it. Preferring it as a tool that breaks the barriers making architecture inaccessible hat lets creativity trump technique.

  1. I'm thinking of trying out Blender instead of the more pricey software for my architecture classes. Is Blender capable of doing many of the things that make formZ and autoCAD standards in architecture? In other words, how good is Blender for use in architecture?
