Drafting 2 - Architecture
• Architectural Drafting is drawing buildings and spaces
designed for human habitation.
• Architectural Drafting is a “universal language” used to
communicate ideas about the physical attributes of a communicate ideas about the physical attributes of a
building or space to be built.
Physical Attributes Include:
-Size
-Shape
-Architectural Style
Drafting 2 - Architecture
Almost every building/space ever built has had a drawing
made of it before it was constructed.
Drafting 2 - Architecture
• Designs created by architects usually start as:
– Sketches
Drafting 2 - Architecture
• Drawings are then created showing the floor layout and
elevation views of the building/space
A Full Set of Construction
Drawings Include:
-Foundation Plans
-Floor Plans
-Elevations (All Sides)
-Roof Layouts
-Section and Detail Drawings
-Schedules
-Materials Takeoffs
-Electrical Layouts
-Plumbing Layouts (Sometimes)
Drafting 2 - Architecture
• Some Drawings created by architects may be drawn by
hand:
Drafting 2 - Architecture
• Most drawings created by architects are now typically
produced on computer aided design systems: (CAD)
Drafting 2 - Architecture
• In this class students will learn the techniques
Involved In creating architectural drawings for
construction of single story ( 1 floor) residential
buildings/spaces.
Drafting 2 - Architecture
• In this class students will use CAD to draw:
– Floor Plans:
Floor Plans show
the arrangement of
rooms in a building,
the layout of
windows and doors,
and provide details
in regard to
dimensions,
electrical and
plumbing fixture
locations as well as
flooring materials.
Drafting 2 - Architecture
• In this class students will use CAD to draw:
– Elevations:
Elevations are 2
dimensional
drawings that show drawings that show
the way the house
will look when
viewed directly from
one of the four
sides.
Elevations are
usually referred to
as North, South,
East and West
Elevations.
Drafting 2 - Architecture
• In this class students will use CAD to draw:
– Foundation Plans:
Foundation Plans
are used to show
builders how to builders how to
construct the
support structure for
a building.
Slab foundations
and crawl
foundations will be
discussed for this
class.
Drafting 2 - Architecture
• Foundation Types to be Discussed:
SLAB FOUNDATION
CRAWL FOUNDATION
Drafting 2 - Architecture
• In this class students will use CAD to draw:
– Roof Layouts
Roof Plans are used
to show builders
how to construct the how to construct the
roof for a building.
There are many
different types of
roofs used in
residential
construction, and we
will discuss many of
these types.
