Top 15 Must Have Tools for Architecture Students – The Best Tools for Architecture School

Want to be a good architecture student? You need the best tools. Here are 15 of the top essential tools for architecture students.

You might be starting architecture school soon or you might just want to upgrade the architectural tools you have. It can get overwhelming as to what tools are essential and which are not needed.

I thought I’d collate 15 of the best tools for architecture students because I never had a resource like this when I first started architecture school.

In fact, I was sold a $260 “essential” tool pack by my local art shop who presented at my Uni on orientation day. … I haven’t touched 75% of those tools.

In this video, I only share tools and equipment that I use myself. I’m not going to push you into buying “essential tools” that you won’t ever use.

I share this list of best tools through the experiences I’ve had in architecture school and hope you find it useful.
