57.Architectural drawing

Architectural drawing is technical drawing of architecture and drawing for architectural projects. Architectural drawing are a means of communicating ideas, concepts and details, and require draughting skills in modern and traditional methods of architectural drawing.Architectural drawing can includes all architectural contracts and drawings such as plot plans, floor plans, elevations, sections, details, schedules, etc., and any architectural drawing that forms a part of the contract documents.

Exceptions can include mechanical, electrical and structural drawings, as well as specialized data that are normally handled by specialists in those fields. Architectural diagrams are diagrams, that simple graphic explaining certain architectural subjects or elements, for example a cathedral diagram. Diagrams are essential representations for thinking, problem solving, and communication in the design disciplines, in particular those concerned with making physical form.

Architectural design is ultimately about the configurations, connections, shape, and orientations of physical forms. Diagrams can be used to resolve spatial layout concerns, but can also represent forces and flows. For example the forces of sun and wind, or the flows of people and materials through a building.

In the early phases of the design architects can use these diagrams to develop, explore, and communicate ideas and solutions. Architectural elevations are elevation drawings of buildings and structures. An elevation is an orthographic projection of a 3-dimensional object from the position of a horizontal plane beside an object. In other words, an elevation is a side-view as viewed from the front, back, left or right.
