TECHNICAL DRAFTING & ORTHOGRAPHIC PROJECTION
This course is about precision and the "Standard Language" of architects. Before you can build, you must be able to communicate. You will move from freehand sketching to Technical Drafting, learning how to represent a complex 3D building on a 2D sheet with mathematical accuracy. This manual training builds the "mental muscle" required to later master CAD and BIM software.

Prerequisites
Description
Key Topics of Study
The Architect’s Toolkit: Mastering the use of drafting boards, T-squares, compasses, and Architectural Scale Rulers (1:50, 1:100, 1:200).
Line Weight & Hierarchy: Learning how different pen thicknesses communicate depth—thick lines for cut structural elements (walls) and thin lines for surface details (textures/windows).
Orthographic Projection: The science of drawing the three views of a building—Floor Plans, Elevations, and Sections—ensuring they align perfectly in space.
Dimensioning & Annotation: Mastering the industry-standard way to label measurements and materials so a contractor can read your drawing without confusion.
Site Plan Drawing: Translating land surveys into a technical "Top-Down" view that includes property lines and building footprints.
Expected Learning Outcomes
Manual Precision: The ability to produce a clean, professional technical drawing without the "assist" of digital snaps or grids.
Spatial Translation: Mastery in taking a 3D idea and accurately projecting it into technical 2D views.
Blueprint Literacy: The skill to read and interpret any professional construction set, regardless of whether it was drawn by hand or computer.
Professional Set Creation: A complete, hand-inked set of blueprints for a small structure, serving as the first technical entry in your portfolio.
