A floor plan is a drawing that depicts the layout of a building or structure, showing the relationships between rooms, spaces, and other architectural elements. Floor plans are an important tool in the design and documentation of buildings, as they provide a detailed representation of the spatial layout, circulation structure and building systems.
Floor plans typically show the outline of the building’s exterior walls and the location of interior walls, doors, windows, and other features. They may also include dimensions, materials, and other technical details, as well as notes and annotations that provide additional information or guidance.
Floor plans are an important tool for understanding and analyzing the layout and spatial relationships of a building or structure. They can be used to explore the functional aspects of a design, control the scale, the orientation and to study the relationships between different rooms, spaces, building elements and furnishings.
