Drawing Development
Knowledge of how architectural drawings are developed will help
the carpenter and builder read drawings with more complete
understanding. Architectural drawings are a means of transferring
the thoughts of the designer to the builders and carpenters whose
responsibility it is to construct the building. Graphic symbols are
used to locate specific features and where they are to be placed.
