Architecture and Design Architecture is both the process and product of planning, designing and constructing space that reflects functional, social, and aesthetic considerations. It requires the manipulation and
coordination of material, technology, light, and shadow. Architecture also encompasses the pragmatic aspects of realizing designed spaces, such as project planning, cost estimating and construction
administration. A wider definition may comprise all design activity from the macro-level (urban design, landscape architecture) to the micro-level (construction details and furniture). In fact,
architecture today may refer to the activity of designing any kind of system and is often used in the IT world.
The principal information provided in set of house drawings are as follows: Site plans are drawn to show the location of a home on the property in its context. It is an overhead
view of the construction site and the home as it sits in reference to the boundaries of the lot. Site plans should outline location of utility services, setback requirements, easements, location of
driveways and walkways, and sometimes even topographical data that specifies the slope of the terrain. A floor plan is an overhead view of the completed house. You'll see parallel
lines that scale at whatever width the walls are required to be. Dimensions are usually drawn between the walls to specify room sizes and wall lengths.
