Free Resources
Built for the community.
Given away.
The calculators, directories and references we needed as students and never found in one place. Free, no sign-up, forever.
Tools & Calculators
The studio math, done: area conversion, FSI, ramps, staircases, setbacks, concrete, rainwater and more. Every tool states its basis and assumptions on the page.
Studio Review
Architecture practices worldwide to study, shortlist, apply to and review. Filter by country and typology, with public contact details to verify.
Universal Design Library
Quick-reference values for accessible architecture: ramps, clearances, washrooms. Rounded reference figures with the codes to verify against.
Why free
Good references should not sit behind a paywall. We publish the things we wish we had in studio, and keeping them free keeps us honest about their quality.
