Architecture plans are the language of architectsa language that, although lacking prayers, is able to express between lines, dimensions and symbologies, a project that every architect, without having been involved in development, is able to interpret.
Architecture is an art in multiple facets. In view, the buildings of any scale are exponents that express plasticities and reflect the story through its constructions. Spatially, they are a shelter that evolved towards aesthetics, without neglecting its function. Even structurally, that skeleton that is not seen and that many do not know, is a revolution that allows increasingly ambitious works. Yes, everyone has lived and enjoyed architectural spaces, but few know what is behind them: Architecture plans.
The architecture plans are a projection in two dimensions of the spaces.Pedro Miranda / Unspash.
But what are architecture plans?
The architecture plans are the graphic, scale and two -dimensional representation of an architectural project. His representations are, as his name says, plans that cut an intangible space to observe their structure, its dimensions, the elements that compose it – puertas, windows, fixed furniture, decoration furniture, niches, green areas, etc. -, circulations, locations, among other components. The most practical way of understanding the concept is with a cake; When a cake is cut vertically, the different layers that compose it are observed, a layer of panqué, one of jam, one more panqué and the final bitumen. The Architecture plans They work like this, they cut the architecture to show the set of element that make it up.
In broad strokes, There are three types of views within the architectural plans: plants, cuts and facades. Although there are more planes that complement the project, the primary basis, and with which all architects work, they are the three views mentioned. The architectural plant is the view that represents the axes «x» and «y»that is, the length and width of, for example, a house. The plants in the architecture plans project the structure and inside of that house example, in a horizontal view; Returning to the analogy of the cake, the house is cut horizontally at an approximate height of a meter and a half from the ground level. The architectural cuts, meanwhile, are the view that projects the “X” and “Z” axes, in this case, the length and height. A cut shows the vertical section of the housealready transverse or longitudinally, and is vital for architects, to understand the behavior of architecture to the top, because each of the levels represents, from the ground floor, to the roof, as well as the dimensions in height of the spaces or windows, and their relationship with the user. Finally, The facades they work under the same principle as the architectural cuts, showing the “X” and “Z” axes, but with the exception that Project the house coveringsthat is, the exterior of architecture.
