Simple Architectural Drawings

An architect plans and designs building structures and prepares all the drawings and specifications required to successfully carry out the building project. The working drawings usually involve the various drawings discussed below:

1. Location Plan:

The location plan shows all the buildings and areas surrounding any particular piece of land to be developed.

2. Site Plan:

This is a drawing showing the length and breadth of the plot of land for the required building and the length and breadth of the particular building or flat to be erected. It also shows the access roads and their distance to the location.

3. Floor Plan:

This is a scaled diagram that shows the detailed apartments including the sanitary equipment, in a proposed building viewed from above. Floor plans are useful to help design furniture layouts, wiring systems, and much more. When drawing a floor plan, the roof would be removed so the interior space can be seen.
