Architectural Drawings - Plan Section Elevation

Architectural drawings use floor plans, sections, elevations, and axonometrics to depict different views of a structure. Floor plans show a view from above at a particular height, sections show a vertical slice through the structure, elevations show external views of each facade, and axonometrics show isometric views rotated around axes without vanishing points. Drawings use conventions like line weights, symbols, and coordination between views to clearly convey spatial relationships.

Architectural Drawings - Plans, Sections, & Elevations

FLOOR PLAN
A drawing to scale, showing a view from above, of the relationships between rooms, spaces, traffic patterns, and other physical features at one level of a
structure. A plan is drawn at a particular vertical position (commonly at about 4 feet above the floor). Objects below this level are seen, objects at this level
are shown ‘cut’ in plan-section, and objects above this vertical position within the structure are omitted or shown dashed.

SECTION
A drawing to scale, showing a view of a structure as though it had been sliced in half or cut along another imaginary plane. For buildings, this can be useful as
it gives a view through the spaces and surrounding structures (typically across a vertical plane) that can reveal the relationships between the different parts
of the buildings that might not be apparent on plan drawings. Plan drawings are in fact a type of section, but they cut through the building on a horizontal
rather than vertical plane.

ELEVATION
An elevation is a drawing to scale showing a view of a building as seen from one side - a flat representation of one façade. This is the most common view used
to describe the external appearance of a building. Each elevation is labelled in relation to the compass direction it faces, e.g. looking toward the north you
would be seeing the southern elevation of the building. Geometrically, an elevation is a horizontal orthographic projection of a building onto a vertical plane,
the vertical plane normally being parallel to one side of the building.

AXONOMETRIC
Axonometric projection is a type of orthographic projection used for creating a pictorial drawing of an object, where the lines of sight are perpendicular to
the plane of projection, and the object is rotated around one or more of its axes to reveal multiple sides. Axonometric drawings do not have vanishing points
as in a perspective drawing. Consequently, all lines on a common axis are draw as parallel.
