Architectural Drawing?
• architectural drawings are the drawings that architects use in the field of architecture
![Page 3: Project 1 - Architectural Drawing](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050801/549a5ab9ac795925288b5cdf/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
But When Do We Use It?
• After intentions and fundamental requirements of a building are discussed with the client and the architect
• And the architect goes home and does his thing, draw and design an amazing design in the form of an architectural drawing sketch to show the client and discuss if it is appropriate
![Page 4: Project 1 - Architectural Drawing](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050801/549a5ab9ac795925288b5cdf/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
So what's the process?
Brief from the client about the design
Discussion with the client
Consider the budget and site conditions
Clients Disagree
Initial sketch of ideas and concept plans
Clients Agree
Developed designs will be drawn
When the design is finalized, a specific architectural drawing can
be drawn

• Useful to explain construction details
![Page 12: Project 1 - Architectural Drawing](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050801/549a5ab9ac795925288b5cdf/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

But are there any architects and their designs that stand out in
history???
• In ancient times, the architects are different than architects closer to the present
• Ancient times : Imhotep, The Pyramid of Djoser
• Closer to present times : Le Corbusier, his vision of a modern city
![Page 18: Project 1 - Architectural Drawing](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050801/549a5ab9ac795925288b5cdf/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
What about Imhotep?
• He would have trouble filling up a parent occupation form.
• He is a architect, doctor, high priest, builder, carpenter, sculptor, so on so forth
• Architect of the Pyramid of Djoser
![Page 19: Project 1 - Architectural Drawing](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050801/549a5ab9ac795925288b5cdf/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
More about the design
• Was made as more than a mortuary.
• Was made for the facilitation of a successful afterlife for the resurrection of an eternal king
• The step pyramid had 6 steps and may be an experimental structure
![Page 20: Project 1 - Architectural Drawing](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050801/549a5ab9ac795925288b5cdf/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
What's so special about a pyramid with 6 steps
• In its time the Pyramid of Djoser was one of the best pieces of architecture in the world
• It was designed for the king of Egypt at that time
• Its 6 step design was believed to be the foundation of other pyramids
