Building a Collection

Are architectural drawings art? No matter--they are the latest covetable on the market. With all the attention given these days to architects, it should be little surprise that there’s a burgeoning market for their work.

No, not that work. Not shining riverfront condominiums or big-budget museums, but far-more-affordable architectural drawings. Everything from a rough idea sketched on a napkin to the meticulously crafted final illustrations used to present concepts to clients are being purchased by people who admire the buildings, appreciate the historical value of the depictions, or simply think they are beautiful in their own right.

“We can’t collect buildings,” says Chrysanthe Broikos, a curator at the National Building Museum in Washington. “So these are the next best thing. They’re works on paper that breathe life into what the architect was trying to say, what he saw as the inherent possibilities of what he wanted built.”

Architectural drawings for the AEC industry

Architectural drawings form the backbone of the design industry and play a significant role in architecture related projects today. Paper drawings are a great challenge to manage and store. Therefore, to get a complete picture of the paper based architectural drawings is difficult.

Architectural drawings, based on paper, also consume a lot of time to manage and sometimes may not be in a good enough condition to use. Therefore, to overcome all these hurdles, Computer Aided Design (CAD) system is an indispensable tool for your paper based architecture drawings. Whether you want to know how a house or an interior of an office would look like after completion, want to pre-visualize your new building design, architecture rendering is an excellent tool that plays a significant role.
And what better way to put across your ideas than in graphic display. Architectural drawings and renderings have a great role to play when it comes to engineering drawings. Why use architectural renderings? Because:
• For better visualization and presentation of projects
• Gives you better picture of buildings, interior of the house etc
• Realistic and accurate
• Walkthroughs available for various projects
The benefits of architectural renderings are many including that for the architects to present themselves better and for the potential client to better view his services/work.
The architectural renderings help convey a great deal of information about the concepts of architects, contractors and engineers to their clients. The client list of architectural drawings includes architects, contractors, builders, interior designers, homeowners, and developers. Architectural drawings and architectural renderings form the basis of medium and large scale AEC industries.
