Design vs. Draft: Unraveling What an Architect Does
Drafting and design are the most common terms used mostly in architecture. Any architectural or engineering project always begins with the design and drafting phase where the ideas take shape. This phase includes the creation of drawings and models that will address everything the clients desire for their building project. While some clients simply need the interior design, some require the full architectural drafting that will address everything within the building.
What Is Design and Drafting?
Design and drafting is a step-by-step approach to both architectural and engineering projects that is based on everything the client wants for their building project. Design is the composing of drawings that will clearly define the requirements for concepts or products so it is in accordance with the desired outcome. The responsibility of a drafter is to convert designs and ideas into drawings. The idea is to present preliminary designs in such a manner that is compliant with the architectural office practices and the client’s wishes.
Difference Between Design and Drafting
The design process is the first phase of an architectural or engineering project that involves breaking down the project into chunks. The design can take many shapes based on the project and the client’s wishes. Architects or engineers will create drawings of the building or object that is more or less the correct size and shape. Drafting is considered to be the next phase of the design process which is typically done by hand or using computer-aided programs that will help to create drawings that provide the technical specifications of a building project.
