The document discusses working drawings for building layout and architectural and structural designs. It provides details on building planning, proportions, orientations, site plans, and working drawings. It explains that working drawings include dimensions and details to guide construction. They consist of 2D projections like plans, sections and elevations, and may include title blocks, dimensions, notations and symbols. The document also defines architectural drawings as technical representations of structures, and structural drawings as plans detailing foundations, framing, beams, columns and wall sections.
2. Historical architecture and modern
structural design
• Building Planning:
• Proportion,
• orientation,
• site plan,
• working drawing Building layout,
• Architectural and structural working drawings,
• Standard codes as measure of controlling safety
and serviceability,
• Building bye-laws and their role in controlled
development of built-environment,
• Concept of Green Buildings
3. working drawing Building layout
• Working drawings provide dimensioned,
graphical information that can be used; by
a contractor to construct the works, or
by suppliers to fabricate components of
the works or to assemble or install components.
• They may include architectural drawings,
structural drawings, civil drawings,
mechanical drawings, electrical drawings, and so
on.
4. working drawings consist of
2-dimensional orthogonal projections of
the building or component they are describing,
such as plans, sections and elevations.
These may be drawn to scale by hand, or
prepared using Computer Aided Design
(CAD) software.
5. • Working drawings may
include title blocks, dimensions, notation and
symbols.
6. What is architectural drawing?
• Architectural drawing is simply the technical
drawing of a house, a building or any kind of
structure.
• Technical drawings are graphic representations
such as lines and symbols that follow specific
conventions of scale and projection.
• They are used in architecture, construction,
engineering, or mapping.
7. • In other words they are a set of sketches,
diagrams, and plans, used to design, construct,
and document buildings.
• It's a schematic representation of a building.
• Architectural drawings are drawn according to
a set of drawings standards that include
elevation, sections, cross section, site plan,
floor plan etc.
8. An example:
• Let’s take a look at the process of producing a
set of architectural drawing:
• An architect is about to design a house, he will
need to produce a set of building elements seen
in true size, shape, and orientation as his work
is the base drawings for other construction
works such as electrical, plumping,
engineering, and mechanical.

10. Structural Drawing
• A Structural Drawing is a set of plans that
shows how a building structure will be built.
• It includes foundation and dimensions, framing
details, beam & column details, and wall
sections which are used as a guide for building
the structure.
• A structural drawing is a structural plan with
mathematical details describing how a building
or structure needs to be built.
11. • Structural details & instructions: this could
include member sizing, designated materials,
and connections types.
• A structural drawing is a great way to
communicate important building information
to your local building department.
12. • A structural drawing is a plan for how a
building will be built. These types of architect
drawings detail the load-carrying members of a
structure.
