How to Draw Diagrammatic Architectural Floor Plans - Organising Space with Architecture Diagrams
Learn how to draw diagrammatic architectural floor plans. Organise space with diagrams for your architecture projects.
G’day! I’m Kyle. I’ve decided to do a series on architectural drawing. The first part, we’ll be looking at floor plans. Over the next couple of weeks I’ll be releasing some videos to help you understand architectural floor plans from the real beginner stuff, that I quite seriously struggled to understand when starting out in architecture school, to some of the more advanced tips and tricks for drawing neat, legible, sexy architectural floor plans that your architecture teachers will love.
If you’re not already subscribed, I recommend doing that as well as pressing the bell so you get notified when I release the next parts of this architectural floor plans series.
This is the third lesson in the “How to Draw Architectural Floor Plans” Course available here on KZread. You can view the full course here: • How to Draw Architectu...
In this lesson, you’ll learn how to draw diagrammatic architectural floor plans using quick sketches.
In the previous 2 lessons, we found out what a floor plan actually is and where scale comes into it.
We discovered that there are different kinds of floor plans, diagrammatic plans, sketch plans, rendered plans and documentation plans. In this lesson, we’ll be learning a simple kind of floor plan - probably not what you expect a floor plan to look like - but one that is essential in the progression of developing a design.
We’ll be organising space with diagrammatic floor plans. Not looking at scale, not looking at dimensioning, just the organisation of space, form and other conditions such as lighting, orientation, ventilation and so forth.
I’m going to take an example from the studio 6 project I’m working on at the moment for uni. I’ve got a brief to design a mixed-use medium density building. I’ve come up with a concept to have a stacking and offsetting of spaces and now want to start organising them, so they have some sort of flow and connection to each other.
Note: the way I would usually organise the spaces isn’t by just working in floor plan view- I might also diagram in section, get into SketchUp or Rhino and start looking at the forms in 3d form. The idea is not to have perfect spaces from diagramming - they are to act as an initial strategy that can further be developed as you progress. Architecture is all about iteration and changing things over time. This is just a great place to start.
In the next lesson, we’ll start looking at sketch floor plans. These sketch floor plans are to scale but just rough, quick drawings to develop our designs. Sketch floor plans take the diagrammatic plans one step further.

This really helps while starting design because you don't just stuck on room layout and shape of the rooms too....nice video mate 👏👏

Ay thank you Daniel!
Love your vids man! and love that you are here in SA! I teach my year 11 class, BASIC architecture - however, because I use Solidworks, we construct at a beginner level, unlike using industry standard REVIT! But love this video - because I am always discussing the importance of sketching and laying out their ideas before they hit the computer, they get scared, especially if they feel they are not good at drawing - so this video is GREAT to show them its just about mapping their ideas out! Thank you!

Thank you , i wonder about the sun , where should we put the rooms (or areas) which need more sunlight ? North or south ?

Depends where your building.

Good question! Denzel is right. It depends where your building is located. In the northern hemisphere, the sun travels from West to East (on the Southern Side), whereas in the southern hemisphere, the sun travels from East to West (on the Northern Side). For me in the Southern hemisphere, I would design spaces requiring more sunlight to be on the North side. You can always look up the sun path for your exact location in google.

Bro can u make a video Best brands for tools that u need in arch.. school

I would but I don't really use much branded stuff myself to be honest. If you want quality, I recommend Staedtler, Artline, Copic, Sharpie and Rotring to name a few.

Should u work with ur interior spaces first and then see how those spaces would make ur outer shape structure of the building, or the other way around?
@kylesinko

I would personally consider the interior (functionality) of the spaces first before the exterior (form). These are just other wordings of interior and exterior. You may be familiar with form follows function, or form before function. People have different takes. I think function, the usability and operation of a space, is more important than it's sculpture or aesthetics.
