Drawing building designs
​Stretch your thinking and imagination to design windows and doors in new ways!

Think about windows and doors as holes that let people or light into spaces. This helps you to imagine that they can be any shape and size. You can make them whatever you want in your designs.

The walls, windows, ceiling, furniture and bookshelves are rounded in this library space. 
Picture
Is this a window or a doorway? It could be either.

These walls are not straight, but create an interesting interior space. What do you think this looks like on the outside?

This staircase would work perfectly in a building with curves.

Examples of plan drawings

This is a way to include curves in your drawings if you have made a curvy structure. The outside and inside walls are both curved to create rooms. When you draw your plan, imagine what the inside could look like. What spaces are you creating and how will they be used? 
Picture
You can see this building under construction from above. Look how the real building compares to a plan drawing. Can you see how a drawing's walls and stairs come to life! There is often a plan made for each floor of a building as well as the roof and basement.
