Architectural Drawing and
Graphics develops the
understanding of the Graphic
language for communication
in Architecture students and
enables them acquire skills to
express complex objects
through graphic presentation.

Plane and Solid geometry..
•Introduction to graphical construction of various plane geometrical shapes
•Introduction to various projection systems used in Architectural drawing; such as Orthographic, Isometric and
Axonometric projections to draw and represent various three dimensional geometrical objects/forms including Section/s.
Scale Drawing..
•Scale drawing (plan/s section/s and elevation/s) of a simple building of sufficient size to demonstrate use of various metric
scales, conventions and standard annotations.
Principles of free hand sketching such as proportions, light and shade; with primary thrust on sketching of building
elements and built environment.
Sketching..

4. What you see is not
always what you think..

5. Introduction..
• Drawing is the language of Architecture.
• It is the language that we use to communicate
our Design and intentions.
• We ‘write’ messages to be ‘read’ by viewers and
audience.
• If the message is not ‘written’ properly, it will not
be read or, read incorrectly.

22. Unit 2: Annotations & Conventions
for Building Components
Architectural annotations and conventions including representation of various
building materials and building components..

23. Unit 3: Plane and Solid Geometry
Introduction to graphical construction of various plane geometrical shapes

24. Unit 3: Plane and Solid Geometry
Introduction to various projection systems used in Architectural drawing; such as
Orthographic, Isometric and Axonometric projections to draw and represent various
three dimensional geometrical objects/forms including Sections.
A simple way of representing a three dimensional object.
An isometric uses a plan grid at 30 degrees from the horizontal in both directions, which
distorts the plan shape..
An axonometric uses a 45 degree plan grid, which keeps the original orthogonal geometry of
the plan.

25. Unit 4: Scale drawing..
Scale drawing (plan/s section/s and elevation/s) of a simple building of sufficient size to
demonstrate use of various metric scales, conventions and standard annotations.

26. Unit 5: Sketching..
Principles of free hand sketching such as proportions, light and shade; with primary thrust
on sketching of building elements and built environment.
