Introduction


An architecture drawing is a technical drawing of
building (or building falls within the defination of
architecture.

Architectural drawing are made according to a set

of convention, which includes particular views like
floor plan, section, sheet sizes, units etc.

Architectural drawing are use by architect to

develop their design ideas to clients and also to
communicate ideas and concepts.
 Size and scale

 Architecture drawing usually use A0 size paper
(841mm X 1189mm)
 Architecture drawing are drawn to scale for the
correctly represented.
 Scale drawing enabled dimension to be understand
by others.
Stages Of Architecture
Drawings

 1.INITIAL SKETCH PLANS

 Sort out what you like and what you want to change
 Consider some of the technical limits
 Discuss with designer about environmental
conditions
 Look at your budget
 Ask about future maintenance issues
 Decide if you feel comfortable
 2.DEVELOPED DESIGNS

 Draw up the development designs
 Design is particularly a cutting-edge
 Discuss the materials use – cladding, flooring,
roofting, windows, doors
 Interior fittings and fixtures – power points, cable
jacks, exterior taps, light location and attic access
 Use a Quantity Surveyor to estimate the cost of the
project
 3.FINAL PLANS AND
SPECIFICATION

 In the tendering process, get quotes from
contractors, subcontractors and also quantity
surveyors
 Builder and contractors contracted to built house as
blueprint for the construction

 Floor Plan

Floor plan is a most fundamental architectural
diagram.
Showing the arrangement at a particular level of a
building.
3 feet / 1 metre above floor level
Floor plans includes anything that could be seen
below
Symbols

 Site plan

 Site plan is an architecture plan, landscape
architecture document, and a detailed engineering
drawing
 A site plan usually shows a building footprint, travel
ways, parking, drainage facilities, sanitary sewer
lines, water lines, trails, lighting, and landscaping and
garden elements.
 ELEVATION

 Elevation drawing that shows the front or side of a
building
 Without elevation drawings, you cannot see the
details of your new cabinetry, the size of each drawer
or the location of each cabinet
 Elevation is not required for every renovation or
redecorating project, they are very useful when
designing items like a bathroom vanities, bars, or any
location with built-in cabinetry, such as an office or
entertainment space
 CROSS SECTION

 A cross section , also simply called a section,
represents a vertical plane cut through the object, in
the same way as a floor plan is a horizontal section
viewed from the top.
 Everything cut by the section plane is shown as a
bold line, often with a solid fill to show objects that
are cut through, and anything seen beyond generally
shown in a thinner line.
 Isometric and axonometric
projections

 A simple way of representing a three dimensional
object.
 An isometric uses a plan grid at 30 degrees from the
horizontal in both directions, which distorts the plan
shape
 An axonometric uses a 45 degree plan grid, which
keeps the original orthogonal geometry of the plan.
