About Archweb

A very good portal!

Sooner or later we all go through Archweb. It is simply one of the most comprehensive block and CAD drawing libreira around. Its site offers hundreds of drawings of different scales and types, from furniture to floor plans of various building types, via symbols, screens and silhouettes

A nice review

“They’re all there: Shigeru, Tadao, Odile, Renzo, Santiago, Maximilian, Norman, Frank, Rem, Kazuyo, Zaha……
And yet it’s not the last series on “The Great Architects” that “can’t miss in your library. From Saturday the first issue as a gift with the newspaper. Ask for it on newsstands!”

If you study (or have studied) architecture and related subjects, the men and women featured in LESS OR MORE, you don’t know them simply as prominent figures in the field. By dint of buying monographs, studying their construction details or visiting their exhibitions (and Biennials), it is almost natural to come to consider them as life companions, on a par with the friend(s) with whom you share (or have shared) days and nights between drawings, renders and models. And perhaps this was the intuition of the creator or creators of what is probably one of the most shared facebook pages of the last 24 hours: to make them talk as we talk, about what we talk about.

The formula is that of a b/w portrait on a black background with a quote. The surprise is the content: no catchphrase statements to be repeated in sæcula sæculorum, but heart-to-heart confessions, bordering on a space-time paradox and in which many can find themselves. Never have we been so similar, not even the time we drew from one of their projects considering it much more than “conceptual reference.” Even they, the archistars of yesterday and today, reveal human frailties or preferences in representation via social networks, as if they really spend days drawing! Di fronte al surriscaldamento del pc inseriscono una ventola salvavita, ricorrono a strategemmi se sono alla prese con le questioni tecniche – non i massimi sistemi, mi riferisco a scale e servizi igienici, eh! – e, neppure fossero sul divano di qualche trasmissione tv del sabato pomeriggio, eccoli svelare segreti di gusto – non propriamente compositivo – e le ultime mosse per piazzarsi sul mercato del lavoro.”

The best site to download CAD blocks in dwg format

According to many CAD drafters, the absolute best site for downloading Autocad blocks is Archweb, because of the impressive volume of very good quality DWG files, in both 2D and 3D. the Drawings are divided into clearly identifiable categories, and the previews that can be seen on the screen before downloading are really well made.

Gabriele Costa sul mensile “L’Ufficio Tecnico”

One of Archweb.it’s most comprehensive reviews was by Gabriele Costa in the monthly building and urban planning technology magazine “L’UFFICIO TECNICO”

Archweb.it  is a web container of tools for architecture, so it wants to address all design and project professionals, to provide practical support made of tips, examples and especially drawings that can facilitate all stages of architectural design.
Technicians such as architects, engineers, surveyors but also university students or simple enthusiasts can find on archweb.it the most diverse design experiences, which can give stimuli, ideas, suggest new creativity.
Archweb.it can also call itself an architecture portal for which one navigates various topics, from the latest major Italian and international architectural achievements to textures, from geometry to design, from construction detailing to urban planning, from CAD to rendering.
The mission of Archweb.it  is to be at the service of all those interested in the subject of building, professionals and non-professionals, continuously providing useful and mostly free tools to facilitate and improve the quality of the work of the architectural project, now increasingly complex in which shorter and shorter deadlines are given each time.
