 A no-nonsense, how-to guide Aug 01, 2008
By Kevin Gill
Fred Stitt's systems approach to working drawings was, and remains, a revelation, if not a revolution. You get your money's worth just from utilizing the modular layout and detail numbering systems alone.
Stitt thinks ahead and realizes that standardization and reusability are important to the architect who is trying to run a profitable and productive practice. So the ability to come up with, say, a standard foundation-to-wall detail, and be able to easily incorporate such standards into a drawing set, is a key aspect of productive profitability. And by adopting a modular sheet layout system, it becomes much easier to fit the sheet together, and avoid cramming details into wierd margins (which still, to this day, happens all too often).
Just so you know where I'm coming from, I was a practicing architect for twelve years, and I used Stitt's working drawing system throughout my career. In fact, I brought that system into several bay area firms, where it is used to this day. Now, I practice law, and I see from the other end how valuable a clear, concise set of working drawings is to controlling the building process and minimizing exposure.
As with many of Stitt's books, this one is a real help.
