The scale is 1:50. Ability of accurate use of weights of drawing lines to present the representation of the object and to prepare a correct engineering drawings regarding to architectural standards. Components of the architectural drawing; floor plans, vertical sections, facades and visualization hand drawing. Creating dimensions and annotations, sections, plans in terms of the scale and detailing. Graphic representation of the components of architectural drawing (interior furnishing, windows, doors, ventilation facilities etc.) Staircase drawing and construction including; length total raise and a formula for a "perfect interior stairs". Components of the design of the plot (earthworks construction e.g. escarpments, terrain stairs hard surfaces and the greenery. Drawing the facades of the architectural objects with special to wall texture, shading and coloration.
