Slide 3: Tools and Techniques (2)
Technique
Orthographic Projection:
o Description: A method for representing 3D objects in 2D views such as plans,
elevations, and sections.
o Importance: Ensures accurate communication of dimensions and relationships,
critical for construction precision.
Slide 4: Types of Drawings (1)
1. Floor Plans:
o Function: Depicts the spatial layout, room dimensions, and placement of
furniture, doors, and windows.
2. Sectional Drawings:
o Function: Provides a vertical cut through a building to reveal structural details,
materials, and interior configurations.
Slide 5: Standards and Symbols
Importance of Standard Drafting Symbols
Purpose: Establishes universal understanding and consistency in design communication.
Examples:
o Door Symbol: Indicates the direction and swing of doors.
o Electrical Symbols: Represents switches, outlets, and light fixtures.
Benefits: Enhances collaboration and prevents misinterpretation among architects,
engineers, and contractors.
Slide 6: Drawing Process and Media (1)
Drawing Process
1. Begin with conceptual sketching to outline ideas.
2. Draft detailed plans, elevations, and sections.
3. Add annotations, dimensions, and standardized symbols.
4. Finalize with rendering for presentation.
5. Review and revise based on feedback.
Slide 7: Drawing Process and Media (2)
Media
Traditional Media:
o Use: Hand-drawn sketches and technical drawings on paper for initial designs.
Digital Media:
o Tools: CAD software such as AutoCAD and Revit for precise drafting and 3D
modeling.
o Advantages: Improves accuracy, facilitates collaboration, and enhances
presentation quality.
Slide 8: Importance of Standards and Media
Standards: Ensures clarity and prevents errors in interpreting drawings.
Media Choices: Balances creativity and precision; digital tools enable better sharing and
enhanced visualization of designs.
Slide 9: Conclusion
