Drawing as communication.
Ideas and plans are formed in the designer’s mind, but to be transformed into reality, they have to be communicated to others. Although a designer may have a great idea, it must be effectively communicated or it will remain just an idea and never move beyond conception.
Designers and other professionals in the building industry use drawings as the primary means of developing and sharing their ideas.Architects do a lot of sketching and drawing. They develop their skills in freehand drawing by sketching existing objects and spaces in the environment. These same skills of observation and sketching are then used in visualizing designs for new spaces and objects.
This process of brain, eye, and hand coordination is an intrinsic part of design. Architectural drawings can be grouped into three basic types: drawing as idea generation, drawing as a design and presentation medium, and drawing as a guide for the construction process. There are distinct differences between each of these types, yet they all contain some common drawing tools, techniques, standards, and graphic language.
