Drawing the Elevation

 

You will develop your elevation drawing through correspondence with the plan(s)

 

and/or section(s). Choose the main elevation of the building. There are two ways

 

that you can set up your construction layout:

 

1. Follow Francis Ching’s method of arranging orthographic views (pp. 137–

 

142). Place your plan above your blank sheet of paper (upon which you will

 

be drawing the elevation), and your section(s) to the side of the elevation

 

drawing area. Draw corresponding lines vertically down from the plan to

 

derive widths of windows, doors, etc. in your elevation; draw corresponding

 

lines horizontally across from your sections to derive heights.

 

2. When drawing the longitudinal elevation, you can directly underlay the

 

longitudinal section, similar to how you underlaid the plan to create your

 

section. Make sure that you are facing the same direction when viewing the

 

elevation as you are when viewing the section. (If you are drawing the

 

elevation in the opposite direction, you can still use your section drawing as

 

an underlay but flip it around to be “backwards.”)

 

Again, begin the elevation drawing with construction lines. Note any regulating

 

lines, grids, proportions, or modules that seem to be defining the façade—window

 

and door heights and widths, window sills, changes in planes. How are structural

 

elements in the plan and section reflected in the elevation? Once all major edges,

 

planes, and openings are defined in your drawing, decide on the level of detail you

 

should bring to the drawing (review the Ching reading, pp.165–166). Details to

 

consider include: window and doorframe thicknesses and trims, material finishes

and differentiation, joint lines of a material or between materials, etc.

 

Ground line should also be shown in an elevation drawing. Do not assume that the

 

ground line in your elevation is the same as that of your section. An elevation is a

 

section cut as well, but just outside of the building. Check in plan where the

 

elevation “cut” line occurs and the ground plane in that position.

 

Scan your completed drawings and submit by posting into the Project Assignment

 

topic. Make sure your scan is of sufficiently high resolution and contrast as to be

 

able to capture your construction lines as well as your final lines, and that the

 

drawing is legible, and not pixelating when zooming in.

 

Purpose

 

To understand how to read and convey architectural information about a

 

building through plan, section and elevation drawings

 

To utilize the architectural drawing conventions of plan, elevation, and

 

section to analyze and accurately and conceptually communicate a

 

building’s form and design
