A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
One can consider points, lines, surfaces and volumes as syntactic spatial and structural elements that follow certain dispositional and distributional principles. Such principles often derive from conventions. Architectural three‐dimensional (3D) works are conventionally represented in scaled drawings as a set of related two‐dimensional (2D) projections, called multiview orthographic projections. In computer‐aided design (CAD), the creation of 2D plans and 3D views is generally integrated. All architectural drawings are a form of abstraction and they are all based on an abstract system of representation and conventions. While plan conventions define the common types of drawings to represent a built work, they rely on graphic conventions to communicate at times intricate information as succinctly as possible. Plan conventions determine what is shown, whereas graphic conventions regulate how it is represented in a drawing.
