ARCHITECTURAL ELEVATIONS AND SECTIONS
This module will discuss on two essential component of the Architectural working drawing: the
Elevation and Sectional drawings.
__________________________________________
ELEVATION
An elevation is a view of a building seen from one side, a flat representation of one
façade (Architects also use the word elevation as a synonym for façade). This is the most
common view used to describe the external appearance of a building.
Each elevation is labelled in relation to the compass direction it faces, e.g. the north
elevation of a building is the side that most closely faces north. Traditionally, we call the main
façade facing the viewer(or sometimes the main access road) as Front Elevation, the rear part
as the Rear Elevation, the right-side of the viewer facing the building as the Right-Side Elevation
and the left-side facing the viewer as the Left-Side Elevation. Buildings are rarely a simple
rectangular shape in plan, so a typical elevation may show all the parts of the building that are
seen from a particular direction.
Elevation views provide a visual and scaled view of the home’s exterior or interior. Most plan
sets include views with each side shown and detailed. Elevations include references to many
specifications for framing and exterior finishes. Roof slopes, ceiling heights, finished floor
heights, and roofing and siding materials are usually identified on elevation sheets:
Roof slope: Roof slopes may not be the same for all covered sections of the home. For
example, dormers, shed roofs, and garages may have different slopes.
Ceiling heights: Ceiling heights are provided on most elevation sheets and may be
included on specifications or detail sheets.
Exterior finishes: Exterior finishes are usually illustrated and noted on elevations.
Topography: The actual lot grade (topography) helps estimators calculate foundation
materials and grading work. Elevations also illustrate the home’s finished look in relation
to grade.
*Foreshorten - portray or show (an object or view) as closer than it is or as having less depth or distance, as an effect of perspective
or the angle of vision.

In this sample drawing, it is important to note that elevation drawings do not only show
the building or house façade as it is but also the other technical details or information
necessary for it to be translated into an actual structure. Other than the key dimensions, other
information include level datum (such as finished floor levels), grid bubbles, materials call-out
(such as exterior wall and roof finishes), doors and window schedules and other important
framing and finished design requirement.

SECTION
Section drawings are a specific type of drawing architects use to illustrate a building or
portion of a building. A section is drawn from a vertical plane slicing through a building. This is
as if you cut through a space vertically and stood directly in front looking straight at it. Sections
are a common design drawing and technical architectural or engineering convention for graphic
representation of architecture. For buildings, this can be useful as it gives a view through
the spaces and surrounding structures (typically across a vertical plane) that can reveal the
relationships between the different parts of the buildings that might not be apparent on floor
plan drawings. Floor plan drawings are in fact a type of section, but they cut through
the building on a horizontal rather than vertical plane. Section drawings, just like elevations are
orthographic projections. This means they are not drawn in perspective and again, there is no
foreshortening.
The direction of the plane through which the section is cut is often represented
on plan drawings and elevations by a line of long and short dashes, called a section plane. If
there are a number of sections, the line may have letters at each end indicating the name of
the section drawing and an arrow showing the direction that the view takes. The section line
may not be always straight, it can take an indirect route through a building if this helps show
the most important features or junctions in the building.

For proper presentation, shading, cross hatching or other fill styles and / or thicker lines
can be used to indicate parts of the structure that have been cut through, such as walls, roofs
and floors. For detailed sectional drawings, different types of cross hatching can be used
to differentiate between different types of component. There are standard hatching used on
some common materials, for example: double diagonal lines indicate brickwork, a wave
indicates insulation and so on.

BASIC STRUCTURAL DRAWING
A structural drawing, a type of engineering drawing, is a plan or set of plans and details for how a
building or other structure will be built. Structural drawings are generally prepared by registered
professional engineers, and based on information provided by architectural drawings. The structural
drawings are primarily concerned with the load-carrying members of a structure. They outline the size and
types of materials to be used, as well as the general demands for connections. They do not address
architectural details like surface finishes, partition walls, or mechanical systems. The structural drawings
communicate the design of the building's structure to the building authority for review. Structural drawings
are also included with a proposed building's contract documents, which guide contractors in detailing,
fabricating, and installing parts of the structure.
___________________________________________
The structural drawings set consists of: General Notes, Plans, Elevations, Sections, and Details
o General Notes are part of structural drawings and they cover the codes used in design and the
by-laws of the building. Structural notes provide information regarding general material properties
(steel or wood grade, concrete strength, etc) or construction requirements (soil compaction, weld
procedures, termination details, spot details, etc). The structural notes also provide information
about design criteria (gravity , seismic, and wind loading).
o The structural plan drawings show the foundation, floor, and roof plan of the building. These
plans provide information like size and location of the structural elements present in the
respective plans.

Is a top view of the footings or foundation walls, showing their area and their location by distances
between centerlines and by distances from reference lines or boundary lines. Actually, it is a horizontal
section view cut through the walls of the foundation showing beams, girders, piers or columns, and
openings, along with dimensions and internal composition. The foundation plan is used primarily by the
building crew who will construct the foundation of the proposed structure. In most construction,
foundations are built with concrete-masonry units and cast-in-place concrete.
Isolated Footing - are commonly used for shallow foundations around 1.2m – 2.0m in depth in
order to carry and spread concentrated loads from the columns. One Footing is equal to one
column independently.
Cantilever Footing – a footing used to carry a load from two columns, with one column on one
end of the footing placed against a building or property line or exterior wall. The column is placed
off center of the footing to prevent encroachment on the adjacent property.

Combined Footing – a type of footing that supports two columns. They are often used when two
columns are near to each other or when the bearing capacity of the soil is less requiring more
area under the individual footing.

It must specify the sizes and spacing of joists, girders, and columns used to support the floor.
Detail drawings must be added, if necessary, to show the methods of anchoring joists and girders to
the columns and foundation walls or footings. The floor framing plan is basically a plan view showing the
layout of the girders and joists.

One-way Slab – One way slab is a slab which is supported by beams on the two opposite sides
to carry the load along one direction. The ratio of longer span (l) to shorter span (b) is equal or
greater than 2.
Two-way Slab – Two way slab is a slab supported by beams on all the four sides and
the loads are carried by the supports along with both directions, it is known as two way slab. In
two way slab, the ratio of longer span (l) to shorter span (b) is less than 2.

Commonly called RCP (short for Reflected Ceiling Plan)….is a diagram that
shows the ceiling design of each rooms/areas represented in a structure
with dimensions, specification of materials and other information.
The concept of this diagram is that “you are looking down at the ceiling as
if there is “mirror” on the floor “reflecting the ceiling plan” back to you”.
The architect utilises this format for the reflected ceiling plan to conform
with the orientation of the floor plan-therefore, easier to read and
understand.
As explained by Jordan Smith in his Introduction to Reading Blueprints
course:
“Sometimes we’ll do a reflected ceiling plan on the floor plan,
which means that whatever’s happening up on the ceiling is
reflected down on the floor and then drawn for our benefit
as builders.”
Why do we need to draw a Reflected Ceiling Plan?

DOORS AND WINDOWS
This module will discuss how to draw the Window and door schedule in Architectural Working
Drawing.
Window schedule
The position and style of the windows greatly affect the appearance of the
elevation. Windows are, therefore, drawn on the elevation with as much detail as the
scale of the drawing permits. Parts of the windows that should be shown on all
elevation drawings includes the sill, sash, mullions, and muntins. Fig. 3 show the
example illustration of fixed and casement window. Fig 2 shows example of
casement, awning, and sliding windows. Fig. 1 shows the parts of a casement
window in more detail.
Many different styles of windows are available, as shown in Fig. 6. These illustrations
also show the normal amount of detail used in drawing windows on elevations.
Architects often use an alternative method of showing window styles on elevation
drawings. When the elevation is drawn, only the position of the window is shown.
The style of window to be included in this opening is then shown by letter or number
indexed to the letter or number used for the large detail drawing. Sometimes, the
window symbol is abbreviated and indexed in the same way to a more complete
detail.

UST College of Architecture | Building Technology and Utilities Cluster | AY 2021-2022 2
Door schedule
Doors are shown on elevation drawings by methods similar to those used for
illustrating window style and position. They are either drawn completely, if the scale
permits, or shown in abbreviated form. Sometimes the outline is indexed to a door
schedule. The complete drawing of the door, whether shown on an elevation or on a
separate detail, should show the division of panels and lights, sill, jamb, and head-
trim details. Separate door details are sometimes indexed to the elevation outline of
the door location as shown in Fig 8.
Many exterior door styles are available (Fig 9). The total relationship of the door and
trim to the entire elevation cannot be seen unless the door trim is also shown.
Exterior doors are normally larger than interior doors. Exterior door must provide
access for large amount of traffic and be sufficiently large to permit the movement of
furniture. They must also be thick enough to provide adequate safety, insulation, and
sound barriers. Common exterior door sizes include widths of 0.80m, 0.90m, and
1.1m. Common door heights range from 2.0m to 2.3m.

Toilet and Baths
The design of the bathroom requires careful and planning in the placement of
fixtures. The bath must be planned to be functional, attractive, and easily maintained.
The three basic fixtures included in most bathrooms are a lavatory, a water closet,
and a tub or shower. ‘The efficiency of the bath is greatly dependent upon the
effectiveness of the arrangement of these three fixtures. Mirrors should be located a
distance from the tub to prevent fogging. Sinks should be well lighted and free from
traffic. If sinks are placed 18” (460mm) from other fixtures, they may share common
lines. The water closet needs a minimum of 15” (380mm) from the center to the
sidewall or to other fixtures. Tubs and showers are available in great variety of sizes
and shapes. Square, rectangular, or sunken-pool tubs allow flexibility in fixture
arrangement.

considered.
https://www.pinterest.ph/kitchenideas/modern-kitchens/
Kitchens come in all sizes. Often this is dependent on the space allocated within a house,
but it might also be a factor of the number of cooks or others using a kitchen at one time.
Kitchens can be too small to be effective for adequate storage, workspace, and workflow.
As the designer lays out the kitchen, the work flow of the client should be a major
consideration in deciding where to place the work centers.

Architectural Drawing Symbols
• Architectural drawing symbols form an important role in
any architecture drawing and help to define elements such
as floor levels, materials used such as lighting types and
others.
• Symbols provide a clear and tidy method of identifying their
placement, type and use.
• Examples of Plan, Elevation and Section Symbols:
Architectural Drawing Symbols
Wood Paneling
• For detailed sectional drawings, different types of cross hatching can be used to
differentiate between different types of component.
Material Symbols
Examples of different common doors and window symbol shown in plan form
Architectural Graphic Symbols
Examples of different exterior and interior wall symbols used in general construction
Dimensioning Floor Plans
• A floor plan is carefully dimensioned to ensure that items
such as walls, columns, doors, windows, openings, stairs,
and other particulars are correctly located for construction.
• Dimensioning is done in a hierarchical manner. Buildings,
structural framework, rooms, and fixtures are dimensioned
in decreasing size order.
• A very detailed and dimensioned plan gives the builder little
room for deviation from the original design.
• Dimension lines are drafted lighter than wall lines and are
generally done as a continuous group or string of numbers
along a line.
Dimensioning Floor Plans
• Dimensioning on a floor plan usually requires two or three
continuous dimension lines to locate exterior walls, wall
jogs, interior walls, windows, doors, and other elements.
• Exterior walls of a building are dimensioned outside the
floor plan.
• The outermost dimension line is the overall building
dimension.
• The next dimension line, moving toward the plan, indicates
wall locations and centerlines to doors and windows.
• Other miscellaneous details in the plan (such as minor
offsets, jogs, or cabinetry and fixtures) are located on a
third dimension line.
Dimensioning Floor Plans
• Dimensioning on a floor plan is grouped hierarchically,
working from the overall dimension of the exterior walls to
the smaller components of a building or space, such as wall
jogs, interior walls, windows, doors, and other important
elements.
• Dark tick marks at 45 degrees to a dimension's extension
line are the most common technique for indicating
junction points.
Dimensioning Floor Plans
• Generally, elements such as walls are dimensioned to the
frame, as the builder first erects this and then adds the
finishes to it. This dimensioning technique gives the exact
location of the studs, columns, and beams and is generally
placed to the face of these.

SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN
BUILDING TECHNOLOGY 2
Prepared by:
Ar. Alpher E. De Vera
What is an SDP Drawing?
• Site Development Plan means a dimensioned plan
drawn to scale that indicates details of the
proposed land development, including the site
layout, positioning of buildings and structures,
property access, building designs and landscaping;
• A Site Development Plan drawing depicts the general
layout and configuration of a site, including:
• Building Footprints
• Parking and Street layout
• Conceptual landscaping and lighting
• Site cross section drawings
• Building Elevations
• The condition of the site is crucial when it comes to the
design of a building. That’s why a lot of time, thought,
and money goes into conducting a site analysis before
the conceptual phase of design even begins. The
following elements of your site all influence the final
design of a building:
• Topography
• Vegetation
• Infrastructure
• Existing buildings
• Weather
• Culture
• Once a thorough site analysis has been conducted, the
concept with a site plan showing existing and proposed
conditions will be presented.
• Other than a North Arrow and Scale Bar, here are ten
of the main items you must include on your site plan
once the site analysis is complete.
• Property Lines
• Distance between buildings and property lines(required setbacks)
• Existing and Proposed conditions
• Easement
• Construction limits and Lay Down Areas
• Driveways
• Parkings
• Surrounding Streets and Ground Sign Location
• Fire Hydrants
• Landscaped areas

Ideal Trusses
• Trusses are structural assemblies that respond to applied loads with pure axial compression or
tension in their members.
• The top and bottom truss members are called chords and the members between the chords are
called web members.
• The centroidal axes of all truss members meeting at a node converge to a discrete point.
• Real trusses respond to applied loads with a combination of axial stress, bending moments, and
shear in their members.
• Real trusses often have continuous chords that are not pinned at the joints and loads are often
applied along the length of the chords.
• King-Post Trusses
• Queen-Post Trusses
• Howe Trusses
• Pratt Trusses
• Fink Trusses
• Scissor Truss
• Hammer-Beam Trusses
• Parallel Chord Trusses
King-Post Trusses
The king-post truss is the most common truss form for short
span applications. King-post trusses are those with a principal
vertical web member at the center of the span.
Queen-Post Trusses
With similar origins in bridges, the queen-post truss is notable
for having two principal verticals instead of the single for which
the king-post gets its name.
Howe Trusses
The Howe truss is characterized by diagonal compression struts
and vertical tension members. A modified king-post truss.
Pratt Trusses
Pratt Truss resolves the need for triangulation through the
combination of diagonal members in tension and vertical
members in compression.
Fink Trusses
The Fink truss is a practical truss
form for long-span applications. The
major advantage of a Fink is that
each half of the truss can be fully
assembled in the shop and shipped
to the site for final assembly
Scissor Truss
The scissor truss is a structurally
inefficient truss form that is very
popular with architects and timber
frame patrons.
Characterized by sloping bottom
chords that cross at mid-span, a
scissor truss allows for an elevated
ceiling.
Hammer-Beam Trusses
Hammer-beam structures are by far the most structurally inefficient, problematic, and
celebrated of all timber roof types.
Parallel Chord Trusses
In considering trusses, we will
be principally concerned with
roof trusses that support
gabled roofs. These trusses
span transverse to the ridge
line with top chords that
slope, and where the top
chords may support purlins,
or they may support the roof
sheathing (or panels) directly.

• Tensile reinforcement
• Two-way slabs are most efficient when spanning square or nearly square
bays, and suitable for carrying intermediate to heavy loads over 15' to 40'
(4.6 to 12 m) spans.
• To simplify the placement of reinforcing steel, two-way slabs are divided
into column and middle strips, within which moments per foot are assumed
to be constant.
• A continuous slab, extending as a structural unit over three or more
supports in a given direction, is subject to lower bending moments than a
series of discrete, simply supported slabs.
• Tensile reinforcement
• 3" to 41/2" (75 to 115) slab depth; rule of thumb for total depth: span/24
• 5" or 6" (125 or 150) rib width
• Square metal or fiberglass dome forms are available in 19" and 30" (485
and 760) widths and from 8" to 20" (205 to 510) depths in 2" (51)
increments. Larger sizes are also available. Tapered sides allow for easier
removal.
• 19" (485) domes and 5" (125) ribs create a 2' (610) module; 30" (760)
domes and 6" (150) ribs produce a 3' (915) module.
• For greater shear strength and moment-resisting capacity, solid heads at
column supports are formed by omitting dome forms; size depends on span
and load conditions.
• Suitable for spans of 24' to 54' (7 to 16 m); longer spans may be possible
with posttensioning.

Two-Way Flat Plate
A flat plate is a concrete slab of uniform thickness reinforced in
two or more directions and supported directly by columns without
beams or girders. Simplicity of forming, lower floor-to-floor
heights, and some flexibility in column placement make flat plates
practical for apartment and hotel construction.
• Tensile reinforcement
• 5" to 12" (125 to 305) slab depth;
rule of thumb for slab depth: span/33
• Suitable for light live to moderate loads over relatively short
spans of 12' to 24' (3.6 to 7 m)
• While a regular column grid is most appropriate, some flexibility
in column placement is possible.
• Shear at column locations governs the thickness of a flat plate.
• Punching shear is the potentially high shearing stress developed
by the reactive force of a column on a reinforced concrete slab.
• Tensile reinforcement
• 6" to 12" (150 to 305) typical slab depth;
rule of thumb for slab depth: span/36
• Drop panel is the portion of a flat slab thickened around a
column head to increase its resistance to punching shear.
• Minimum projection of drop panel: 0.25 × slab thickness
• Minimum width of drop panel: 0.33 span
• Column capital may be used in place of or in conjunction with
a drop panel for increased shear resistance.

Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) is a prefabricated, engineered
wood product consisting of 3, 5, or 7 layers of dimension
lumber oriented at right angles to one another and bonded
under pressure with adhesive to form structural panels.
Dowel-Laminated Timber
Dowel-Laminated Timber (DLT) is made by placing 2×
dimension lumber on edge (like NLT) and friction-fitting
together with wood dowels.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF
CEILINGS
Coffered Ceiling
Recognizable by its grid of
inverted panels that are
accentuated by molding,
commercial wood coffered
ceilings are typically
designed to work with
standard T-Bar suspension
grids – helping to
streamline the installation
process.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF
CEILINGS
Tray Ceiling
Tray ceilings are multi-level
ceilings – they start from
one height, then drop as
you add levels. As the
name suggests, the ceiling
layout resembles a tray.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF
CEILINGS
Coved Ceiling
A coved ceiling is typically found
in formal rooms, theaters, or
churches. The Vatican, for
example, houses one of the
most famous coved ceilings in
the world.
Cathedral – or vaulted –
ceilings are known for their
inverted V-shape where the
tip of the V is the highest
point and the sides of the V
slope down.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF
CEILINGS
Shed Ceiling
Shed, or single-slope,
ceilings are typically found
on the top story of a home,
either in the attic or loft.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF
CEILINGS
Beam Ceiling
Beam ceilings are typically found
in hallways and corridors for
commercial settings and living
and dining rooms for residential
settings.
Though considered as a
contemporary style, it’s actually
a traditional ceiling form. Made
primarily from hardwoods,
beams give homes a classic,
rustic look.

Stairs are a structure designed
to bridge a large vertical distance
by dividing it into smaller vertical
distances, called steps. Stairs
may be straight, round, or may
consist of two or more straight
pieces connected at angles.

STAIR TERMS
Baluster: A vertical member used between railing and tread or floor,
adding safety, support and stability to the balustrade.
Balustrade: The name for the complete and assembled rail system.
Box Newel: A large square newel hollow inside, used in post to post
balustrades.
Box Stair: A stair where the stringers house the treads and risers forming
a box-like unit.
Bracket:Referred to as tread or stringer bracket. A scroll shaped
decorative member usually mitered to the riser and fastened over the
open stringer.
Cap: That round portion of a rail fitting which widens, permitting it to set
on top of a newel post. Cap fittings are used for an over the post
balustrade system.
Cove Moulding: Cove Moulding is a finishing trim used to go under the
treads front side where the riser meets the bottom of the stair treads
underside, to hide the little 1/8 in. and 1/16 in. gaps that may be there
after the install. Ogee Cove Moulding also is used under the front nose of
the stair nosing on any level run stair nosing that is installed on the job...
once again hiding all the drywall dips along the walls face.

STAIR TERMS
Easing: (Sometimes called Easement) That portion of a rail fitting which
curves, permitting hand rail to move from level up or down, up easing or
over easing respectively. It also permits rake rail to move vertically where
it meets level rail.
Fillet: A thin moulding that is fitted into plowed hand rail and shoe rail
between balusters.
Finished Floor to Finished Floor Height: The vertical distance between
the top of the lower finished floor to the top of the upper level finished
floor. The total rise of the stair.
Glue Block: A wooden block, square or triangular, glued to the underside
of a step. They are used where the tread and riser form an inside corner
under each step.
Gooseneck: A rail fitting used where rake rail rises vertically to a balcony
or landing. They also permit directional changes.
Hand Rail: The railing used as hand support in balustrade systems.
Header: A floor framing member that runs across the well opening. The
top riser of the stair is secured to the header.
Source: https://woodstairs.ca/staircase-components.html
STAIR TERMS
Horse: A length of dense dimension lumber cut to run rise requirements to
form steps. The horse supports treads and risers.
J Cap Moulding: The J-Cap Moulding is used like a mini nosing to cover (
cap ) this unfinished edge of the side skirt boards, thus giving a finished look
to this otherwise raw edge. So if you have 32 feet of skirt board, you will need
approx 36 feet of J-Cap Moulding for proper coverage.
Landing: An intermediate floor or platform between flights of stairs. Landings
permit directional changes in stair travel.
Landing Newel: The newel post used at landings and upper levels where
rake rail changes direction and continues or where rake rail rises vertically to
meet level rail. Length is typically 42" long, if yopu want to meet a 36" rail
height code -or- 48" long newel post get used if you want to meet a 42" rail
height code.
Landing Tread: A nosed and rabbeted tread-like mould used to form a level
surface with the finished floor of landings and upper levels. May also be used
to trim around well holes and balconies.

STAIR TERMS
Left Hand Miter: A stair open for balustrade on the left side, ascending
the stair. The rail fittings on the left hand side of the stair.
Level Quarterturn: A rail fitting that permits level hand rail to turn 90
degrees; available with cap or without cap.
Level Rail: Handrail used on the level portion of a balustrade.
Miter Return: A nosed or rounded moulding used to trim, open end
treads. This conceals the end grain.
Newel: A vertical post used to start the balustrade, also used at points of
vertical and directional transition. Newel posts are the backbone of
balustrade strength.
Open Stair Treads: A stair where the stringer has been cut out and the
tread ends are exposed on one or both ends.
Over-the-Post: A balustrade system which uses rail fittings on top of
newel posts forming a continuous hand rail.
Pitch: Refer to Rake of the staircase or railing system.
Source: https://woodstairs.ca/staircase-components.html
STAIR TERMS
Pitch Block: A block of wood that is cut to form a right triangle using the
rise and run dimensions of the stair. The pitch block is used to determine
the exact point and angle of cut for attachment of fitting to straight rail.
The pitch block also determines the angle cuts on balusters, newel posts
and hand rail.
Plow: The grooved out area in the bottom of the hand rail and the top of
shoe rail that receive square end balusters. It is fitted with fillet spacers.
Post-to-Post: A balustrade system where hand rail is cut between and
attached to square top newel posts. Rail Bolt: A two ended, threaded steel
stud with nut, washer and wood plug. A concealed fastener used to attach
hand rail to fittings and newels.
Rail Fitting: Fittings are assembled components that are profiled to
match hand rail patterns. They permit directional and vertical changes
with hand rail in over-the-post balustrades. Some fittings may be used in
post-to-post balustrades.
Rake: The angle or pitch of a stair’s ascent to the upper level. The rake is
established by the rise and run.
Rake Rail: Hand rail used on the ascending portion of a balustrade,
follows the pitch or rise of the stair.

Riser: The vertical component of a stair that faces each step between
stringers and tread, upon which the treads are placed.
Rosette: A decorative wall plate, larger than hand rail profile, may be
round, oval or rectangular, serves as a railing anchor when backing is
placed in the wall.
Run: The horizontal travel of a stair. A unit of run or tread run is the
distance of travel for each step excluding the tread nose.
Skirt board: A finished face board used to cover the stair horse. May
also be used to finish around the well hole.
Starting Easing: A rail fitting that starts the balustrade system and
introduces the user to the upward travel of the stair.

Work Triangle
The work triangle is a
time-tested guideline of
kitchen design that helps plan
out efficient kitchen work
spaces with clear traffic
lanes. Imagine a triangle that
connected your cooktop, your
sink, and the refrigerator.
This is the work triangle.
According to the guidance of
the National Kitchen and
Bath Association, each leg of
the triangle should measure
between 4 and 9 feet. This
allows a cook to reach their
cooking, cleaning, and food
storage areas with ease,
while providing enough space
between them to avoid Source: https://www.cliqstudios.com/work-triangle-floor-plan/

What is a Reflected Ceiling Plan?
Source: clipart
Commonly called RCP (short for Reflected Ceiling Plan)….is a diagram that
shows the ceiling design of each rooms/areas represented in a structure
with dimensions, specification of materials and other information.
The concept of this diagram is that “you are looking down at the ceiling as
if there is “mirror” on the floor “reflecting the ceiling plan” back to you”.
The architect utilises this format for the reflected ceiling plan to conform
with the orientation of the floor plan-therefore, easier to read and
understand.
As explained by Jordan Smith in his Introduction to Reading Blueprints
course:
“Sometimes we’ll do a reflected ceiling plan on the floor plan,
which means that whatever’s happening up on the ceiling is
reflected down on the floor and then drawn for our benefit
as builders.”
Why do we need to draw a Reflected Ceiling Plan?

This module will discuss on two essential component of the Architectural working drawing: the
Elevation and Sectional drawings.
__________________________________________
ELEVATION
An elevation is a view of a building seen from one side, a flat representation of one
façade (Architects also use the word elevation as a synonym for façade). This is the most
common view used to describe the external appearance of a building.
Each elevation is labelled in relation to the compass direction it faces, e.g. the north
elevation of a building is the side that most closely faces north. Traditionally, we call the main
façade facing the viewer(or sometimes the main access road) as Front Elevation, the rear part
as the Rear Elevation, the right-side of the viewer facing the building as the Right-Side Elevation
and the left-side facing the viewer as the Left-Side Elevation. Buildings are rarely a simple
rectangular shape in plan, so a typical elevation may show all the parts of the building that are
seen from a particular direction.
Elevation views provide a visual and scaled view of the home’s exterior or interior. Most plan
sets include views with each side shown and detailed. Elevations include references to many
specifications for framing and exterior finishes. Roof slopes, ceiling heights, finished floor
heights, and roofing and siding materials are usually identified on elevation sheets:
Roof slope: Roof slopes may not be the same for all covered sections of the home. For
example, dormers, shed roofs, and garages may have different slopes.
Ceiling heights: Ceiling heights are provided on most elevation sheets and may be
included on specifications or detail sheets.
Exterior finishes: Exterior finishes are usually illustrated and noted on elevations.
Topography: The actual lot grade (topography) helps estimators calculate foundation
materials and grading work. Elevations also illustrate the home’s finished look in relation
to grade.
*Foreshorten - portray or show (an object or view) as closer than it is or as having less depth or distance, as an effect of perspective
or the angle of vision.

In this sample drawing, it is important to note that elevation drawings do not only show
the building or house façade as it is but also the other technical details or information
necessary for it to be translated into an actual structure. Other than the key dimensions, other
information include level datum (such as finished floor levels), grid bubbles, materials call-out
(such as exterior wall and roof finishes), doors and window schedules and other important
framing and finished design requirement.

SECTION
Section drawings are a specific type of drawing architects use to illustrate a building or
portion of a building. A section is drawn from a vertical plane slicing through a building. This is
as if you cut through a space vertically and stood directly in front looking straight at it. Sections
are a common design drawing and technical architectural or engineering convention for graphic
representation of architecture. For buildings, this can be useful as it gives a view through
the spaces and surrounding structures (typically across a vertical plane) that can reveal the
relationships between the different parts of the buildings that might not be apparent on floor
plan drawings. Floor plan drawings are in fact a type of section, but they cut through
the building on a horizontal rather than vertical plane. Section drawings, just like elevations are
orthographic projections. This means they are not drawn in perspective and again, there is no
foreshortening.
The direction of the plane through which the section is cut is often represented
on plan drawings and elevations by a line of long and short dashes, called a section plane. If
there are a number of sections, the line may have letters at each end indicating the name of
the section drawing and an arrow showing the direction that the view takes. The section line
may not be always straight, it can take an indirect route through a building if this helps show
the most important features or junctions in the building.

For proper presentation, shading, cross hatching or other fill styles and / or thicker lines
can be used to indicate parts of the structure that have been cut through, such as walls, roofs
and floors. For detailed sectional drawings, different types of cross hatching can be used
to differentiate between different types of component. There are standard hatching used on
some common materials, for example: double diagonal lines indicate brickwork, a wave
indicates insulation and so on.

What is an Elevation Drawing?
• An elevation is a view of a building seen from one side, a flat
representation of one façade
• Geometrically, an elevation is a horizontal orthographic
projection of a building on to a vertical plane, the vertical
plane normally being parallel to one side of the building.
• In the Working drawing document, an Elevation views
provide a visual and scaled view of the home’s exterior or
interior. Most plan sets include views with each side shown
and detailed.
• Elevation drawings are orthographic projections. This means
they are not drawn in perspective and there is no
foreshortening.
• Each elevation is labelled in
relation to the compass
direction it faces, e.g. the
north elevation of a building
is the side that most closely
faces north. Traditionally, we
call the main façade facing
the viewer(or sometimes the
main access road) as Front
Elevation, the rear part as the
Rear Elevation, the right-side
of the viewer facing the
building as the Right-Side
Elevation and the left-side
facing the viewer as the
Left-Side Elevation.
In this sample drawing, it is important to note that elevation drawings do not only show the
building or house façade as it is but also the other technical details or information necessary for
it to be translated into an actual structure. Other than the key dimensions, other information include
level datum (such as finished floor levels), grid bubbles, materials call-out (such as exterior wall and
roof finishes), doors and window schedules and other important framing and finished design
requirement.
It is important to note
that presenting elevations
in working drawings is
different from what we do
in presentation drawings. In
presentation drawings,
shadows provide depth
while entourage enhances
the buildings’ appeal, but it
is not applicable in working
drawings as it may be
interpreted as part of the
building design or finish.
What is a Section Drawing?
• Section drawings are a specific type of drawing architects
use to illustrate a building or portion of a building.
• A section is drawn from a vertical plane slicing through a
building. This is as if you cut through a space vertically and
stood directly in front looking straight at it.
• Sections are a common design drawing and technical
architectural or engineering convention for graphic
representation of architecture.
• Section drawings, just like elevations are orthographic
projections. This means they are not drawn in perspective
and again, there is no foreshortening.
• The direction of the plane through which the section is
cut is often represented
on plan drawings and elevations by a line of long and
short dashes, called a section plane. The section line
may not be always straight, it can take an indirect
route through a building if this helps show the most
important features or junctions in the building.
• For proper presentation, shading, cross hatching or other fill styles and / or thicker
lines can be used to indicate parts of the structure that have been cut through, such
as walls, roofs and floors.
• For detailed sectional drawings, different types of cross hatching can be used to
differentiate between different types of component.
• Notes:
• When drafting the roof part of your
structure, unless it will be utilized as a
habitable space such as an attic, the
detail of the truss system need not be
shown in your section (as this will be
drawn in full detail in your structural
drawing). The space or cavity between
the finished ceiling and the roof
component is presented the same way
as your walls (hatched or solid line) with
a notation “See structural detail”.
• The floor slab on the ground level (slab
on fill) should be clearly distinguished
from the earth soil, compacted soil or
backfill by standard graphical
representation.
• Notes:
• Structural components such as columns,
footings, wall footings, if directly cut by your
section plane must be properly shown.
• Material callouts for the interior finishes and
other components that were not shown in
the plans and elevations is also necessary for
estimate reference.

I. FOUNDATION PLAN
Is a top view of the footings or foundation walls, showing their area and their location by distances between
centerlines and by distances from reference lines or boundary lines. Actually, it is a horizontal section
view cut through the walls of the foundation showing beams, girders, piers or columns, and openings, along
with dimensions and internal composition. The foundation plan is used primarily by the building crew who
will construct the foundation of the proposed structure. In most construction, foundations are built with
concrete-masonry units and cast-in-place concrete.
Isolated Footing - are commonly used for shallow foundations around 1.2m – 2.0m in depth in order
to carry and spread concentrated loads from the columns. One Footing is equal to one column
independently.
Cantilever Footing – a footing used to carry a load from two columns, with one column on one end
of the footing placed against a building or property line or exterior wall. The column is placed off
center of the footing to prevent encroachment on the adjacent property.

Combined Footing – a type of footing that supports two columns. They are often used when two
columns are near to each other or when the bearing capacity of the soil is less requiring more area
under the individual footing.
