Architectural drafting/drawing floor plans?

Question

Is there anywhere online that explains architectural drafting or how to draw floor plans? (Manual, not CAD)

If anyone knows, are there certain ways to draw things when you're doing floorplans? Are there right and wrong ways to draft a building? Any general information to get me started would be great.

Not building these things; this isn't a formal thing. So, I don't need an architect to do this for me.

I know I can't build them and that was not my intent, but is it wrong to want to foster an interest in something? Should architecture be locked away only for those who have degrees inengineering architecture?

Answer 1

You can draw some of your ideas, like where do you want your kitchen or living room but to do correct and good plan you have to study. It is allot of rules to learn other ways it will collapse and kill people.

Answer 2

Yes. There is a right way. Call an architect. This isn't something you can just do in your spare time. People have to go to college for many many years to learn how to this correctly. You can not build a building from a doodle.

Answer 3

The city or township is where you usually can get them but if they don't have a copy, check the registry file and see if it lists the arcitechts name or company, they may have a copy. Also ask if the town has any archives that may contain plans, homes that old are considered heritage buildings. Also check for the original owners they may have copies. or their heirs. If you still don't have any luck. Find another home similar in the area that has been restored or preserved in it's original state. and use that layout as a guideline.
