Fonts: Choosing the right one

 Architects pays a lot of attention to the fonts we use. A rchitects have proven to be especially picky in chosen typography. To put it together they are perfectionist. 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. Among them, what should be prioritized are the drawings, techniques, styles & patterns. But the most particular icon that helps them to determine a clear out look is the composition and the idea generally the FONT . Font types are designs assumed by a pattern. There are variations which can be highlighted as light, italic, bold  also by the type of box high-uppercase and lower-lowercase.  The correct choice of font can communicate to simple rhythm. It leads to a mental calmness thr

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.     

Introduction

     I will talk mostly about the traditional methods such as sketches, drawings, diagrams or plans, there are other tools used to improve how architecture is represented. Graphical presentation is the most fundamental instrument used by architects in design of a projec t. The concept must be explained in detail to make sense in a clear and organized way. It must be documented clearly. The most important thing is that the beginning must be in a attractive fashion. Now, I can plan out what I need to do to make a good concept as well as proper items for a good architectural presentations. I will be making things with hand so that you guys have a good hands on basic tutorial. Items for a presentation: 1. Plan. 2. Blow Up. 3. 3D 4. Renderings (Plans + Models) All rights reserved.
