Architecture Studio Kit

These are tools required in the program from Sophomore Studio 1 and in each architecture studio that follows through the senior year. Each of these items may be purchased individually from the Blick U Architecture Studio Kit list. However, a student may acquire comparable, high-quality equipment from other sources. Careful procuring can reduce the total cost (about $500).
