Understanding Architectural Layouts
During the construction of buildings, various factors have a significant impact on the construction process. Architectural layouts, available in the form of drawings, provide a clear understanding of the construction, including all essential elements. In fact, it is the architect who creates these layouts and is responsible for the construction of the building. In other words, when an architect works for clients, they create architectural designs to help clients better understand the appearance and structure of the building.
Architectural layouts are a crucial part of designing a construction plan. They assist clients in understanding the fundamental basis for starting the construction. This means clients can comprehend the reasoning behind the construction process based on an architectural design. Thus, if the architectural plans are well-prepared, it ensures that the future construction of the building will be approved not only by the client but also by the local governing body.
Architectural Drawing Symbols
For drafting purposes, architects use various symbols in their architectural drawings. These symbols are important when addressing a range of subjects. Architectural drawing symbols are used in creating projection views, sections, elevations, and reflected ceiling plans, among others. A thorough understanding of orthographic projection and the use of symbols is essential for architectural drafters. These symbols, related to a drawing, require sufficient knowledge of architectural history. Successful and unsuccessful applications in the past contribute to this understanding. These symbols can also be used in applied design principles. Simultaneously, it is essential to recognize the different meanings of building elements, features, limitations, and other aspects. Architectural drawing is not just a mechanical process, and it differs from the actual architectural design. The ability to maintain consistency in mechanical drawing styles is necessary when using drawing symbols and graphic elements.
Architectural Work Drawings
The implementation of architectural plans requires detailed construction drawings, including all necessary information, so that accurate cost estimates can be made, and contractors can follow the guidelines. Construction drawings must display all dimensions and be properly scaled. The details of the building should be clear and comprehensive in these drawings so that contractors can provide accurate pricing options without charging additional fees to the project owner. The first floor plan is the initial compilation of the design. The second floor plan is derived from the first one, and adjustments are made to accommodate the weight of the foundation as much as possible. The basement plan is the first part of the structure, which forms the foundation. Finally, the exterior elevations are created, which are also known as the lower views.
