  From Pencil to Pixels: Unlocking Decades of Construction Wisdom on My New Blog - Looking at Pinterest Good morning everyone! Inspired by my friend and editor Jon Pickup's success with Blogger, and with the Mitchells Rewrite project in full swing, I've launched a new site dedicated to sharing the deeper insights, processes, and expertise that go into great construction documentation. You might be familiar with my work through the extensive visual library I’ve curated over several years on Pinterest, focusing on building and construction: ( https://uk.pinterest.com/stephenscaysbro/ ) While my Pinterest board offers the inspiration and visual context, my new Blogger site is where we dive into the how and why . Why You Should Visit My New Construction Blog This site is a deep dive into the areas I’m most passionate about, turning theory into practical application: The Art of Documentation: We'll explore the essential techniques of draughtsmanship —from the foundational use ...

  Architectural Drawings - Security of information Will CAD and security survive   Introduction The information embeded into any Architectural drawing is sometimes a security problem for all of the construction team, including the client if it was ever released to the wrong people. In days before CAD, drawing were printed, folded and sent via post to who ever needed them, along with a distribution list, often many drawings were printed, I know this because as a junior in a practice in 1970, I spent hours on a maching printing folding and organising the distribution. In this article we look at the transition of architectural drawings from paper to digital created an IP and integrity crisis that can only be solved by adopting the Golden Thread of Information. and beyond. This article is intended to create a thread for your Knowledge base research, I have included a link to my conversation with Google Gemini, my prefered AI. There is a lot going on, and the more I read, the more ...

Evening Lecture So this evenings lecture via my nightly blog on stitcher was from the Technology Today  podcast, episode 10, re the eight small satellites that cover the globe via the  Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System ( CYGNSS ) aims to improve extreme weather prediction. ... In orbit. I am going to claim 1 hour for this podcast together with another hour researching the technology. Why you might ask, well it's all about the data, and there's lots of it, all helping to provide assistance in predicting the intensity of any hurricane as it hits land, and in what direction. Is this important, well yes, after all, it's my job not only to teach students about data but also to help them detail against it. so in my book, this is a straight 2 hours CPD. I have added this to my Knowledge Base and updated the photo,  It also reminds me to resurrect my CPD spreadsheet, although I no longer need to keep a record of mt CPD, I am of the mind to keep it live to help und...

This morning as I walked from the station to the University, I was listening, as I mostly do this time of the morning, to a podcast, I have a backlog at present to go through, but this mornings joy was a podcast on Data, a subject I am particularly interested in. I currently run a course entitled IDD, or Integrated Digital Design., which for the most part looks at how data at a simple level is added and used in the design, my data page on Scays.co.uk is dedicated to this with a series of slide presentations and gets regular updates. But this morning my attention was drawn to the bus stop I was walking past, and the way old paper time tables have now been replaced with digital time tables, ok so I have written about this before, so I started to ponder this subject, can I access this data in the same way I can with similar data like the training for trains running on the Dorridge Chiltern line. The more I look into this subject the more I find new items to ponder, like AI, my nex...
