Architectural representations are visual or spatial representations of a building or structure that are used for design, communication, or analysis purposes. These representations can take a variety of forms, including drawings, models, diagrams, and simulations.
Architectural representations are used to convey specific design information about a building or structure, including its form, layout, materials, and construction details. They can be used to communicate design intent to a variety of stakeholders, including clients, consultants, contractors, and regulators.
Architectural representations are an important tool for understanding and analyzing the design of a building or structure. They can be used to explore the spatial relationships, aesthetic qualities, and functional aspects of a design, and they can be used to study the impact of a design on its surroundings. Architectural representations can also be used as a means of communication between designers and users, and they can be used to convey ideas and concepts related to the design of a building or structure.
