What are Architectural Drawing Conventions? First Year Architecture Lecture
This First Year Architecture lecture was recorded on Whadjuk Noongar Boodja for students of Curtin University's Architecture School. This lecture series is part of my unit Visual Literacy, where we learn the visual language of architecture, and how to express our ideas to others.
This is lecture one: "What are Architectural Drawing Conventions?"

Thank you, Bruno!
An epic series! In this video it's great that all drawings are still schematic but even then there are lots of examples on how to represent different things by simple tweaks to line type, weight and opacity. A good foundation to later learn construction drawings, and read wall/floor/roof compositions and junction details :)
I wanted to become an architect all my youth (slept with a copy of Neufert's Architect's Data under my pillow. And then ended up doing medicine. Now, at the age of nearly 50, I start watching architecture lectures online. I really enjoyed this one.

Never too late, Doc. I have students in their 60s, 70s and 80s with similar stories. You could do a one year Diploma or a three year undergrad course to learn all the fun stuff without worrying about all the professional certification that comes later. Some of our students are happy just doing the three year course and designing small projects for themselves, family and friends. No need for the professional architect registration for that kind of work. Enjoy.
More, more, more please. As the content is valuable to all trades in design & construction

I teach the architectural design program at a local high school here in Pearl City, Hawaii. Your videos have been extremely helpful in breaking things down! Random question, do you think it's better to focus/develop students with Revit or Sketchup at the high school level?
@ChrisMewburn

Glad you like them. The way I structured our course is Sketchup first to give students the opportunity to learn the fundamentals and play with 3D forms, Rhino second to explore boundless creativity, and Revit third to tie in with their gained knowledge of construction techniques, materials and legislation. To answer your question, Sketchup would give students more freedom to explore, and could lead to many different pathways, whereas Revit is really a tool for documenting how something must be built. Of course you can be creative in Revit too, but I argue that at a high school level, it will be easier to be creative in Sketchup. Ultimately, it’s up to the students, you, and the intention of the curriculum.
16 from South Africa I find this very benefiting considering that at my school no talks about architecture buildings thank you ❤

Never too late. Depending on your university, they might let you add one or two architecture units to your degree as electives.

AutoCAD first and then I clean them up in Adobe Illustrator so that lineweights are appropriate for the screen presentation.

what is the diffirence between internal and external doors?
@ChrisMewburn
7 ай бұрын
Generally speaking - width, you usually have a wider external door to allow furniture and appliances to get in; and the thickness/solidness of the door leaf. Many practices will draw internal doors without a leaf (rectangle) for the door and just us a single line, reserving the full leaf (rectangle) for external doors only to represent the difference.
What type of measurement did you guys use because I use inch and I can't understand about mil 😅?

Fair enough. The students are the ones giving the answers, but there are no room mics, so there’s not much I can do about that. Try listening with headphones to see if you can hear the answers. Otherwise, they’re all universal dimensions, that’s the whole point of “conventions” - so you can look them up too.
