Even a tiny details irritates them too much. I mean if you are a fellow architect you know where I am coming from.......Right!  Mies van der Rohe once stated “God is in the details” and apparently we take it seriously 😃 Graphic elements are  constantly used in a extensive way to make a scheme of their works.

How to draw a Architectural plan

The plan is a drawing of the outline and partitions of a building as you would see them if the building were cut in a certain height. A basic geometrical shape or collection of shapes or organic shapes are basically implemented to make an architectural plan. There are many techniques that can be applied to shape out a plan.  There is however my method of finalizing the plan from the general concept, What I use,   Concept + Functions = Room Sizes  Room sizes + Room numbers = Area  Total areas into floor plans. The bubble diagram approach is an effective method of establishing the overall design concept. The inside and outside design is determined by the size and relationship of the areas.                        STEP 1:   In this demonstration I have selected a 10x10 grid. You can chose any grid what ever suits you. Then i selected the number of grid boxes i need to make a desired shape. Then draw an outline which defines the shape of the plan.
