An architectural drawing depicts a building project and is used by architects for various purposes. There are several stages of an architectural project including a project brief, schematic design, design development, and construction. A project brief outlines the client's requirements and forms the basis for appointing an architect. Sketches are rapidly executed drawings used to develop and communicate rough design ideas. Schematic design diagrams and preliminary drawings are used to explore spatial relationships and design concepts. Construction drawings along with specifications and estimates comprise the final design requirements.

2. What is Architectural
Drawing ?
An architectural drawing or architect's drawing is a
technical drawing of a building (or building project) that
falls within the definition of architecture and are used
by architects and others for a number of purposes.

3. STAGES OF AN
ARCHITECTURAL PROJECT
• Project Brief
• Schematic Design
• Design Development
• Bill Of Quantities
• Construction
• Maintenance

4. PROJECT BRIEF
An architectural project brief is a statement of
client's requirements, which form the basis for
appointing an architect. The brief describes
the requirements that need to be reconciled
and accommodated.
