Young Architect Toy…


So i came across this whilst searching around Amazon

The stereotypical child architect...? well he does look like a wanker i guess.

The young architect by …‘Poof-Slinky’ (no….really…)

Build your own 3-D architectural models – just like real architects do!

  • Reusable design and building set
  • Create 3-D models in three easy steps
  • Design floor plans with room templates
  • Furnish rooms with the furniture guide and colored pencils
  • Build a 3-D model on top of the floor plan
  • 9 room templates

Why isn't this child wearing all black?

Learn to envision different uses of space, proportion and architectural design to create your own unique dream house.

“I bought this for my 14 year old son and was very disappointed…. A pad of graph paper, plastic templates that are available at office supply stores, a good metal ruler, some paper and tape are a better investment than this. ”

“I agree …this item disappointing. Actually, that’s putting it mildly. (…) all you get is few pieces of acrylic, tracing paper, a few peel and stick windows and four colored pencils. The “manual” is a 4-page booklet with little useful information in it. The people selling this should be ashamed of foisting it on gullible consumers (like me). Borders on being a scam. ”

All for the low, low price of US$55

I have come up with a cheaper solution, rather than spending a lot of money on your child (they certainly wont have money if they do make it to be an architect after all!) why not give them the real experience?

Simply keep your child awake for 40 hours straight, get them addicted to red bull and have them design a fully drafted and documented 4 bedroon, 2 bathroom, living, dining and kitched 6 star enegy rating house that complies with building codes and regulations and uses solely recycled materials – by tomorrow.

  1. I have really learned result-oriented things through your blog site. One other thing I would like to say is newer personal computer os’s tend to allow a lot more memory to use, but they additionally demand more storage simply to operate. If an individual’s computer could not handle extra memory as well as newest software package requires that memory space increase, it could be the time to shop for a new Laptop. Thanks

  2. Okay, so there is 1 limit. Availability.

  6. One thing I’d prefer to say is the fact that before acquiring more personal computer memory, look into the machine in to which it could be installed. If the machine is usually running Windows XP, for instance, the particular memory ceiling is 3.25GB. Using in excess of this would simply constitute any waste. Make sure that one’s motherboard can handle the actual upgrade volume, as well. Interesting blog post.

  10. I have realized some new items from your website about computer systems. Another thing I’ve always assumed is that computers have become an item that each home must have for several reasons. They supply you with convenient ways to organize households, pay bills, search for information, study, listen to music and in some cases watch tv shows. An innovative approach to complete most of these tasks is a laptop. These pcs are portable ones, small, effective and transportable.

  41. Thanks for the points you have provided here. One more thing I would like to say is that laptop or computer memory needs generally rise along with other improvements in the technological innovation. For instance, if new generations of cpus are introduced to the market, there is certainly usually a corresponding increase in the scale demands of both computer system memory and also hard drive space. This is because software program operated by these processors will inevitably increase in power to benefit from the new know-how.

    I want to express thanks to you for bailing me out of such a situation. As a result of researching through the world wide web and getting techniques which are not productive, I was thinking my life was well over. Being alive without the answers to the difficulties you have resolved through your main short post is a crucial case, and ones that might have badly damaged my entire career if I had not come across the website. That competence and kindness in touching a lot of things was precious. I’m not sure what I would’ve done if I had not encountered such a step like this. I am able to at this point relish my future. Thanks so much for your high quality and result oriented guide. I will not think twice to endorse your web site to any individual who would need guidance about this area.
