FREQUENTLY ASKED QESTIONS

What is the difference between a draftsperson and an architect? - While both draftspersons and architects play crucial roles in the architectural field, the draftsperson focuses on technical drawings and translating designs into detailed plans, while the architect is involved in the broader aspects of architectural design, including concept development and project oversight. Architects typically have a more comprehensive role in the architectural process, often requiring formal education and licensure. Our team is comprised of a drafter who does have formal education but holds no architectural certificate or license.

What is architectural drafting, and why is it important? - Architectural drafting is the process of creating detailed technical drawings and plans for construction projects. It is crucial as it serves as a communication tool between architects, engineers, and builders, ensuring a precise and accurate implementation of the design.

What is architectural drafting for fictional structures, and how does it differ from real-world projects? - Architectural drafting for fictional structures involves creating detailed technical drawings and plans for imaginary buildings. While the principles of drafting remain, the creative freedom allows for the design of fantastical and fictional elements.

Why are a set of architectural plans referred to as blueprints? - The term “blueprint” originated from a historical process used in reproducing technical drawings. Traditionally, drawings were created on translucent or semi-translucent tracing paper using black or dark blue ink. A photosensitive solution was applied to a specially treated paper. The original drawing was then placed over the treated paper, and the combination was exposed to light. The areas exposed to light would undergo a chemical reaction. After exposure, the paper was washed to remove the unreacted chemicals, leaving white lines where the original drawing was, and blue lines in the areas exposed to light.
