The medium follows the decision
Not every project needs every output. The useful drawing or visual is selected according to the stage, question and agreed deliverables.
How we communicate design
See the decision,not just the image.
Architecture develops through conversation, drawings and coordinated decisions. We use the clearest medium for the question in front of us, when that output is included in the agreed project scope.
A-400.1 · The drawing sequence
Different views answer different questions.
- 01
Sketches and diagrams
Quick studies help compare an idea, relationship or trade-off before unnecessary detail is added.
- 02
Plans, sections and elevations
Measured drawings make circulation, levels, openings, setbacks and spatial relationships available for careful review.
- 03
Working 3D models
A model can clarify massing, scale, daylight and how spaces connect, while the design is still being developed.
- 04
Visualisations and walkthroughs
When included in the written scope, visualisations can support conversations about atmosphere, material direction and important views.
Useful for
Make a choice with a shared reference.
- Comparing design options without asking clients to read technical drawings alone
- Reviewing scale, circulation, daylight, shade and the relationship between inside and outside
- Giving family members a shared reference for a decision
- Recording an agreed direction before the next design stage begins
Working boundaries
B-02
A visual is not an approval
A render or walkthrough does not replace statutory review, consultant coordination, construction information or site-specific verification.
B-03
Specificity grows with the project
Early visuals communicate intent. Dimensions, systems, specifications and buildable details are developed through the commissioned design stages.
