Week Three Agenda: Orthographic Projection/Drawing Plans
Return to ClassroomReturn to Classroom

Overview
Agenda for Week Three

Overview
This week's lesson is going to cover a basic and essential drawing technique for Architects and Interior Designers - Orthographic Projection. The floor plan is usually the first thing developed by the designer. As they work through the floor plan the designer begins to visualize the 3D image of the building. When the floor plan is complete the elevations are generated using a technique known as Orthographic Projection. Orthographic refers to straight lines that are projected from the plan and used to locate the walls and openings from the plan.

The other skills that we are going to work on this week involve drawing floor plans and then dimensioning them. The one plan that we drew last week didn't have any doors and windows so this week we will talk about how to represent doors and windows in floor plans.
