Introduction to Architectural Drawings 建筑绘图
Architectural drawing is an important skill used in many professions from engineering to creative design. The Civil Engineer who designed the house or apartment you live in would have first drafted an Architectural Drawing before the building was made. The construction workers who built your house or apartment would have had to read the designs to build the building. Even a creative designer such as a home decorator would have had to create designs to determine what furniture would work well, what curtains they would use and the placement of many other items in designing a beautiful and effective living space.
建筑绘图是一项在工程建设及创意设计领域非常重要的技能。设计房屋的工程师们都需要首先起草一份建筑绘图。建筑工人们在实施建设之前都需要先看看房屋设计图。甚至创意设计师也是要先创建一份设计图，如装修工在设计一份美妙有效的住房时需要考虑什么样的家具合适，选择什么样的窗帘，各项物品如何摆放等等。
