This document discusses the role of furniture designers in the construction industry and the drawings involved in the furniture design process. Furniture designers are involved at various stages of construction projects including pre-construction, construction, and post-construction. They work with clients to design furniture and oversee manufacturing. Various types of drawings are used including process sketches, ideation sketches, presentation drawings, working drawings, location drawings, assembly drawings, component drawings, and manufacturing drawings. These drawings are used at different stages to illustrate design concepts, enable fabrication, and show how parts are assembled.
Lecture 1 - Technical Drawing Introduction II
Engineering drawings are important in conveying useful information to other engineers and manufacturer
Allow the readers to visualize what the proposed product would look like
Provide information on dimensions and material used to make the proposed product
Provide views from the top, the side, and the front

EST 200, Communicating Designs GraphicallyCKSunith1
The attached narrated power point presentation mentions the methods adopted by design engineers to communicate their designs. The material focuses on graphical methods of design communication. The material will be useful for KTU second year B Tech students who prepare for the subject EST 200, Design and Engineeirng.
To design is to plan or organize something for a specific use, or to create something to meet a specific need. Often, designs provide solutions to problem situations. Design solutions are created through the Design Process. This process will vary depending upon what is being designed

1. Product Designers (Furniture Design)
Relation to Construction Industry and
Drawings Involved in the Design Process
2. Product Designer
Personnel involved in the
design of products in terms of
its aesthetics, functionality,
and ergonomics, for the
intended application of these
products, by the end user.
Figure 1- Product design often focuses on improving and
innovating upon objects, to create “new” products for the
benefit of end users, besides the creation of new products
3. How are furniture designers related to the
construction industry?
Large Scale
Projects
4. Roles of a Furniture Designer
Furniture Designers are involved in the process of the
development of the project:
1) Pre-construction
2) During construction
3) Post construction
Figure 2- An inexhaustive process description,
describing key points of product development
10. Post Construction
1) Product designers are involved in post sales customer
service
2) Product designers research, and optimise the product
post-sales for future purposes
11. Types of Drawings involved in the
Design Process
1) Why drawings?
2) The roles of drawings in the various stages
of construction of the building.
12. Pre-Construction
Process sketches
-An analysis of the problem. Occurs pre-construction with the problems/needs
of the client in mind, Rough sketches, corresponding with information gained
during client-designer meetings.
-A lot of writing and notes. Questions to accompany drawing.
-Only meant for the designer’s understanding. May not even contain furniture
sketches.
14. Figure 3, 4- Process sketches are hard to understand, except for the designer’s instance as demonstrated in
these two images
15. Ideation sketches
-Ideas are more fleshed out, and a process of development occurs.
-Sketches are still rough, but furniture is designed, according to the results of analysis
in the process sketches.
-Usually excluding details.
17. Presentation Drawings
- To illustrate design concepts to a client
- The drawings highlight key areas of the
product design
- Ensures that the client can understand
the designs presented
22. Working

Assembly
Drawings
Definition: In building construction projects,
comprehensive drawings are being used. These
projects will also include structural and services
engineer's drawings etc.
23. 1. Location drawings (a.k.a general arrangement drawings)
○ It shows floor plans, elevations and sections.
○ They show where the construction elements are located.
2. Assembly drawings
○ It shows how different parts are being put together.
3. Component drawings
○ It enable self-contained elements to be fabricated in a
workshop and delivers to site to complete and get ready
for installation.
24.
25. Schematic Drawings
● During the 1st phase of schematic design, an architect will
consult an owner to know what requirements need to be
reached and also to determine goals.
● Schematic design also is the research phase of the project,
when requirements or restrictions are discovered and
addressed.
● When the owner agrees after several discussions and
consultations with the architect, a final schematic design
will be produced.
● Costs are estimated based on overall project volume.
