Following a lecture today we learned all about axonometric and isometric drawing and spent the afternoon drawing up our own plans of the site. These drawings can be helpful to show the external appearance of a building such as windows and wall detail and can be used to explain the size of a building. The drawings can be used to explore and communicate the internal spaces of a building, by doing this it’s good to show the internal spaces of the proposed interior I’ve designed. Axonometric drawings are at a 45 degree angle, the angle is important as it gives a different view of the building and allows you to create an accurate drawing. There’s no need to include roof within the axonometric drawings as the space needs to be seen inside the building as you want to show the layout.
Once the height, width and spaces are determined, the original planned sketch lines can be removed in order to see the structure free standing. Once this is finalised, people can be added. Isometric drawings are at a 30 degree angle seen to the left above. You firstly have to make a decision of what you want the drawing to show and this must be to scale, you then draw the lines from each point up, different colours can be useful when attempting to determine which room is which.
