Outcome of the workshop:
The architecture workshop titled “How to Read and Draw Plan, Elevation, Section in Architecture” at Tishk International University proved to be a resounding success.
The participants, comprised of students, aspiring architects, and professionals, gained invaluable knowledge and skills in architectural representation.
The workshop began with an engaging lecture on the fundamental principles of plan, elevation, and section drawings.
Through interactive discussions and hands-on exercises, participants learned to decipher architectural drawings, interpret spatial relationships, and understand the language of architectural representation.
The practical sessions focused on developing proficiency in drawing accurate plans, elevations, and sections. Under the guidance of experienced instructors, participants learned various techniques, such as line weights, shading, and scale, to effectively communicate architectural ideas on paper.
They were also introduced to digital tools and software that enhance the precision and efficiency of architectural drawing. By the end of the workshop, participants demonstrated significant improvement in their ability to read and interpret architectural drawings.
They gained confidence in understanding the spatial layout, proportions, and construction details presented in plans, elevations, and sections. Moreover, they acquired the necessary skills to create their own drawings, effectively conveying their design concepts to clients, contractors, and collaborators.
The workshop’s success extended beyond the acquisition of technical skills. Participants also had the opportunity to network with like- minded individuals, fostering a sense of community among aspiring architects. The collaborative atmosphere encouraged the exchange of ideas and experiences, creating a dynamic learning environment. Overall, the workshop on “How to Read and Draw Plan, Elevation, Section in Architecture” at Tishk International University left participants empowered with essential skills, knowledge, and confidence in architectural representation. They departed with a deeper appreciation for the importance of accurate and expressive drawings in the field of architecture, ready to embark on their professional journeys with enhanced proficiency.
