Welcome to our November edition of 5 Useful Things. In these mid monthly emails we share with you 5 useful things we have come across during our work and personal time that we hope you will enjoy.

This month we have a variety of discoveries that we hope you will get some value from. If you have stumbled across something that you think our readers would find useful, please let us know!

1. Something To Save

Black Friday is coming very soon! Keep an eye on your inbox (next week) for early access to exclusive offers and savings — our little thank-you to this amazing community of architecture enthusiasts.

As always, the Black Friday weekend marks our biggest sale of the year, so don’t miss out!

2. Something to Learn

Detail Clinic Series

We have just launched our new Detail Clinic Series. Learn about how construction details go together by following along as we discuss a real student mark up exploring common questions and detail theory.

3. Something To Watch

Never Too Small - Amsterdam DIY Loft

Full of heart, humour, and hands-on design, this tiny home is a joyful expression of how the smallest spaces can inspire big ideas.

4. Something to Explore

ACAN Materials Library

The ACAN Natural Materials group seeks to educate and inform students, professionals and the general public on the multiple benefits of natural materials in construction. A great resource and well worth a visit.
