2. Sitting quietly at home, sketchbook in hand, is the ideal way
to tackle drawing.
You will also find here the practical principal which will help
you put your plans down on paper and the better express
your ideas, for no serious project get made without a
progresive plan.
The relationship between drawing and a project is
reciprocal. If the capacity to represent a space is the
prerequisite for converting it, and is a techique to be
acquired.
4. They are several kinds of representacion, drawings and plans,
to learn how to develop your project.
Some of these representacion are based on real spaces – House
and Flats .
5. First of all are the principal drawings, like the ground plan and
the section, the technique of scale drawing, which allows you
to measure the spaces to be converted, and finally the
different kinds of perspective which enable you to understand
space, while studying its modifications.

8. From the first you will be confronted with the practice of the
convertion. Getting into the habit of the varying elements
from the start, an the graphics side as well as from a model, is
the way of better understanding the rules of design, at the
same time as inverting modifications, of finding and project
ideas.
Themes such as a small convertion will be introduced
progressively, but also more general, architectural ideas, such
as depth, thickness, geometry and transparency.
11. Drawings are done by hand, sometimes with the help of few
tools:
Drawing board , tracings paper, a transparent metro ruler, 45°
and 60° set-squares for checking angles.
13. Drawing a line is a reflection of your attitude and your
personality. The kind of line – direct, clean, clumsy, hesitant,
heavy, light, incisive etc- dependes on your quality. It improves
with the practice.
Be aware of the important of the quality of the line.
14. You have to show surfaces, shadows, differences of the tone in
your drawings.
16. To draw a plan of the certain space, you should in theory have
made a note of all the dimensions beforehand. The plan and
the layout should be with a related scale.
This is why we are going to start by showing the principles
behind the plan.
17.
18. The plan or layout is a view from above.
An elevation. (thats is the horizontal view) works on the same
principle, with a scale, to which you add some codes and
convertions that save time and make the plan easier to read.
19.
20. The scale is the connection in the size between the drawing
and reality. Scale allows us to measure distances on the plan or
the map.
Teh scale is expressed by a fraction, such as 1/10, called a
tenth.
