Course Outline:
Introduction to drawing instruments ..
•Methods of employing them for technical drawing and sketching.

Graphic language and its components..

•Line types: meaning and application
•Architectural Lettering and dimensioning techniques
•Architectural annotations and conventions including representation of various building materials and building
components
•Graphic scales and their application

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.

Sketching..
Principles of free hand sketching such as proportions, light and shade; with primary thrust on sketching of building
elements and built environment.
What you see is not
always what you think..
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.
Drawing= Language of Design

 Unit 2: Annotations & Conventions
for Building Components

Architectural annotations and conventions including representation of various

building materials and building components..
 Unit 3: Plane and Solid Geometry

Introduction to graphical construction of various plane geometrical shapes

 Unit 3: Plane and Solid Geometry
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.

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.
 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.
 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.
