This document provides guidelines for measuring and documenting architectural structures through drawings. It outlines learning outcomes related to understanding buildings and their relationship to inhabitants. Measurement techniques are described, including running and spot measurements of sites, buildings, and details. Guidelines are provided for producing drawings such as plans, sections, elevations, and details in manual and CAD formats. Drawing standards like scale, layout, and labeling are also addressed. Students are assigned to measure their living room and detail measurements of three furniture pieces.
